(.RACK STANLEY'S DECISION.
" I dare say, Gracte, yon have by this
time, made up your mind as to what you j
propose doingt" said Airs. Manning, in a 1
half doubtful manner, gliding into herj
ueice's chamber and furtively casting her
eyes over its rich and delicate appoint-!

"Yes. auntie, I believe I bare," re-j
turned the yonng eW, locking up hastily
from a just-finished noto on berVacfitoire.
sad rising to -offer some courtesy to her
aunt.
"And pray what is HF said Mrs.
Manning, peering searching!)" into the
tender blooeyes of her neice, and evoking
from her a treacherous blush. " Yon hnve,
at least, taken long enough to come to a
conclusion."
Grace turned away to avoid tie gaze of
Mrs. Manning, ami a happy couplet recur
ring to her memory, she smiled pleasantly
under the deepening blush, and gaily sang :
"And of the choice who can doubt,
OA testa w.tU love or throne* without."
A frown ns% ed the questioning ex
pression on Mrs. Manning's countenance, j
and, reddening with anger, eke said :
*• And so lam answered F* " You will'
marry Osear Howard t"
" That ia my intention, aunt, 1 ' said <
Grace, firmly.
"And will throw away alt chancee for j
an alliance vrith William Duncan?"
m " Without doubt, auntie."
"And per consequence " said Mrs-
Manning, a cold, sarcastic sneer distorting !
the symmetry of her beautiful lips.
Hut Grace would not allow her aunt to ;
finish her sentence.
"Mast arrange at once to seek other I
shelter than my uncle's roof. I feel—l
know this."
&>r a moment a look of tenderness
swept over the face of the fashionable,
worid-lovfcg woman. A sudden rush of j
recollection brouirht befbre her the death- ;
beil of her only sister, and the words with
which she committed to her the charge of
bur only child—a liule cherub of two
year*, that hid its flaxen ringlets on
auntie's bosom, and wept herself sick
when they shut up pretty mamma in the
box.
All the wiheing gracefulness, all the
tender affection of this child's childhood !
and youth came up before her heart's j
vision, and she doubted whether her own 1
conscience would justify her, or whether
her own happiness would be materially
increased by proceeding harshly against
berueice. Bat the world came in with
its cruel cynicism; ?be had never loved, I
herself; but aha waa rich and evied, and
to place her p>n: ilese niece in the same 1
position, would, ia her tetimatioo, be ful-1
filling all the requirements of her adop
tion.
And then the voice of her dying sister
stole up like broken chords of sweet
mask, through her soul:
"If my little girl ahould live to be a i
women, do not force her heart, Emily.!
Do not let her be sacrificed in marriage to
any consideration, but the holy one, which
should rule m the bridal. / married a,
poor man—my family discarded me for it i
—but I was happy; and now lam going
to meet the husband of my lore, where
marriage is eternal."
The brown, fringed lids closed over the
violet eyes, the pale lips murmured :
"Lord, Jeftm, peer ire— my—spirit,"
A seraphic briflKnci-s flashed over the
pale face, and 'tile spirit of Marian Stan-!
ley had joined its love.
Mrs. Manning remembered all this, and, i
closing her eyea against
niece for a few moments, sathdJPig com
munioQ with her own soul. It was over.
She get ap aud, without a word, left the
room, returning almost immediately.
"If It must be," she said, cooly,
- " hasten your preparations," laying before |
her niece a well-Ailed portemonuaie.
"Thank you, aunt/said Grace, dedd-1
edly; returning the-pocket-book to her
aunt, " I shall not need the contents of I
' - this. Ia the station that I shall fill, as the j
wife of a merchant's clerk, I shall not!
need a costly wardrobe, and it you will
permit, what I have already will answer
all lay purposes. Under the circum
• stances, I cannot think of accepting a sin
gle dollar from you."
"Grace Stanley," said Mrs. Manning,
sharply, "what will the world aay of met"
w Nothing, aunt, but that your niece
waa ungrateful, disobedient and rebellious
—neither of which, thank God, ahe is—
and deserve*! expulsion from your roof,
with all the penalties that attach to self
will and waywardness."'. *
In the meantime she had doßDed her
cloak and bonnet, and taking the note to
Danton, in which she had toM him of her
intention to marry another, she bent over

not only the wealth, but good taste of the

But about him there waa an alt of reck
lessness and insouciance against which the
pure soul of Grace Stanley revolted.
Driving up to the pavement, he leaped
from his seat and stood beside her.
"Oh, dear, how lucky!" he exclaimed.

And releasing her hand, she threw a

pidly nntil she reached the atore. When
she entered, ahe sent to Oaoar Howard a
notice at once of her presence; but he
Wing busy, she sat beeide one of the
counters nntil he eould come to her.
During this time she wa* busy with
thought. He whole life had Wen sur
rounded with luxury, but nevertheless it
was one of dependence. Would she be
less dependent by giving up the luxury to
which ah* had been accustomed to, be
cause the wife of a man wholly depen
dent upon his salary as a merchant'* clerk?
"Yes," she answered to herself; "a
wife should be a help and not an incnm
Sranee to her husband, and a helpmate I
am resolved to be ;" aud a look of smiling
res*lre overspread her teat urea, as Oscar
Howard approaching recalled her trom
her abstraction.
" What has brought you here this after
noon, Grace I" he said tenderly, his quick
intution not failing to note something un
usual ia her manner.
" Are you ready, Oscar, ts be married?"
she asked, in a wisper.
"Not exactly, dearest," he wispered.
44 1 have been trying to summon eoursge
to ask of Mr. loicy an increas* of salary
in prospect; 1 wish to make yoa as com
fortable as possible."
"We must get married at once," she
said, firmly,-" without regard to your
salary."
"Well." he answered, in return, "to
morrow, if need be," feeling that she had
been impelled to her course by some un
questionable motive.
"Then to-morrow evening, at seven
o'clock, at Church, let it be, Bring
some ol your friends as witnesses, and
with a single female friend, I shall meet
you. Do not fail."
She extended her hand to him across
the counter, drew her veil over her lace,
sod with tears of mingled emotions brim
ming her eyes, she passed out of the store,
and .hastened her steps to the house of
her friend, to engage her services.
From this interview, Oscar Howard
retired to the private office of his em
plover. He wa* pale and agitated; ami
thinking the excellent young man wa*
ill, Mr. Lacy sprang up from hi* jwat
at his desk to offer him a glass of iced
water. Declining the courtesy and
taking the seat indicated by Mr. Lacy,
Howard said:
" I have come to speak to yon upon
some- very important business. I am
about to be married, sir, and "
" Ah,"said his employer; "and "
"I miust make bold to ask a small in
crease of my wages."
Mr. Laey's voice assumed a tone of
calmness."
"Have you never saved anything from
your salary, Mr. Howard?"
"Not until tbe last six months, sir.
Up to that time I supported my invalid
mother. Since her death, I have man
aged to save cne-half every month."
"Indeed! I did not know yon had a
mother."
"Yes, sir; and, could my individual
wish have been considered only,l would
have kept ber here for all time. But
she was a terrible sufferer, ond her re
lease, though it left my life very deso
late, gave me n measure of comfort."
"And who are vou to marry?"
"Miss Stanley.''
"Not the niece of Manning, the ban
ker?"
"The same, sir."
"How is this, Howard?"
"I love her, and she lows me. That
is all, Mr. Lacy."
"And will not Manning do something
for his niece?"
"Nothing, sir, if she married me."
"She could not marry a more worthy
fellow."
Thanks. Mr. Lacy; bnt she might
marry a very much richer one."
"And who is that?"
"Williim Danton."
"Yes,l see; the son of Manning's part
ner. He has money, position, good
looks—everything; this is passing
strange."
"I am inclined to think so myself, Mr.
I-acx."
"And yon think your sslary is not
sufficient to snpport a wife brought up
in the manner in which Miss Stanley was
reared? I fear, Howard, yon have made
a mistake."
"1 have no fear, sir," said the young
man, confidently. "Grace Stanley is
made of tbe material of which every true
woman should be made; and, in her ac
ceptance of me, she is fally acquainted
with my situation and prospect* in life.
Yet 1 should like to surprise her with a
few more comforts than she has reason
to expect."
"Yon are invaluable to me, Howard,"
6aid Mr. Laev, "and without this incen
tive I shotilif have doubled your salary
in the Spring. Two months in atlvance
cannot break me. Consider that settled,
then,from thi* time,and God bless yon."
Mr. Lacy shook Howard's hanu and
bowed him out.
• • "• • • *
In the dimly lighted elinrrk—while
almost all the city sat around their nuts
and wine at well fil'ed boards—Grace
Stanley's was a solemn, nud scarcely a
cheerful wedding. Yet tliere was no
trace of sadness upon the young bride'a
countenance—only the pare and holy
emotion which should fill a heart re
nounced to another; while in Oscar
Howard's smile, when the few friends
around offered their congratulations,
there wa* the trinrnph of bappinea-.
It waa something like a nine day's
wonder among the fashionable friends
when tI HI fmnoiracement wa* made
tbrougjjh the city jiapere, and some re
fused positively to credit the rumor.
'Tmpoesiblel" fftid one and another—
manoeuvering mammas, womeu of the
world, marriageable daughters, and as
tute fortune hunters. "Mrs. Manuing
is far too sagacious for a thing of that
kind to happen within the range of her
power. As long ns Mr. Manning knows
the value of moDey, and lin< any regard
for social position, such a marriage
could never take place from his house."
"Perhaps they wished to get rid of
her ; she was only nn orphan niece,''
said a lady in whose bosom was a very
small share of human kindnesv.
"But un adopted child," said a listen
er. "From Mr. Manning's own hps I
have heard he intended to make her his
heir."
"And young Danton was said to bo a
suitor."
"Very incomprehensible—very!" said
an old society hanger-ou around drawing
rooms of the rich.
And eo went the gossip of Grace Stan

bad no petty aunt laid by in the saving*

At the end of one year they were en
abled to exchange their single third
floor back room in their boarding house
for acv my suburban cottage. Tuo next
exchange bv virtue of the young "olive
branches" that were spriugiug up around
their board, waa to a suburban cottage
more commodious.
A few judicious outside investments
had much increased the young roau's
finances ; and when physical aud mental
affliction had rendered business burden
some to Mr. Laey, he offered a partner

time became an equal one, aud the firm

of the strongest iu the city.
Hy th'a tins# a great financial crisis
waa making gigantic strides toward the
very heart of the money market. Men
looked pale and anxious, shook their
heads doubtfully, and gloomily watched
the cloud th.it continued to spread and
blacken the financial firmament, until it
stood directly over the great mouey
mart,enveloping thouaaudi iu its sombre
pall.
• 'They say that the house of JM. inning
A Danton, too, ia likely to go down in
the vortex," aaid one to another, care
lessly, as Grace He.ward stood on tbe
curb stone before her door, awaiting the
coming of her carriage around the cor
nor. She had then a home ia one of
the principal aveuues of the city—her
husband's duties not allowing a resi
dence more remote. *
"It caunot be," said ths other. "That
is one of the moat reliable houses ou the
street."
"Bnt has been ruined by the reckless
uess'of ths youngest partner. You will
remember the firm is now Manning,

of the firm; but they tell mo he has not
ouly squandered money moat fearfully
in all specie* of dissipation, but hs ha*
made injudieiou^investments; and more,

than a single instance."
"1 am sorry for the sake of Manning,
that this is so. He is au old man, and,
1 believe, an honest man."
"Yet they ssy hia house cannot sur
vive another day's run upon it."
"Terrible!** exclaimed tho listener.
"Can't they get help?"
"Not with William Dan ton's fingers
in their monev bogs."
"Terrible!" again exclaimed tbe sec
ond mm. and shaking bonds, one went
up aud the other down the street, leav
ing Grace Howard to digest the unwel
come news of ber ancle's business condi
tion as best she might.
The carrrisge so long delayed, now
stood before her.
"Drive to Mr.Howard's store at once."
she nervously ordered the driver.
Grace was still nervous and agitated
when she entered her husband's pres
ence.
"Tell me, Oscar," the asked, with s
tremor iu her Toire, "how much money
I sm now the possessor of, in my owu
right?"
"Twenty two thousand dollars."
"Can I have the use of it?"
"Assuredly, my dear; it belongs to
yoti; bnt what do you wish to do with
it?"
"I have beard that my uncle wae in
serious financial danger."
"And #o liave I," said her hnshantl.
"1 must see him my few thouaaud*
may be of some help to him."
•'Grace," raid her busliand, sternly,
"he has ntterly ignored vour existence,
since your marriage, ami will you now
expose yourself to injury and insult?"
" My uncle is in trouble now, ()*car.
I cannot forget his more than fatherly
kindness in my childhood and youth.
In marrying yon, I disappointed all the
expectations they bad reared, for wealth,
faahion, and worldly poaition for me ;
and while I can never blatne myself for
obeying the dictate* of my own heart, 1
dare not cherish a feeling of resentment
toward them. If my money—inconsider
able as it is—will be of service to my
nncle, he must now have it."
She held her lips up for herlinshand's
kiss, and, being driven rapidly, soon
wa.* landed at the door of her unrJe's
office.
Among the eager crowd that thronged
tko door-steps, each man with a certifi
cate of dejioait nervously clutched be
tween bis fingers, she mtde her way
into hia presence. His eyes glassed over
with tears, ts they fell upon her palo
face. Mr. Mauing had grown old, weak,
aud childish, within a week ; and he
wonld fain have laid bis silvered, aching,
care-worn bead upon the bosom of hi*
adopted child, and craved forgiveness
for all his cruelty and neglect. The
iron had entered his aoul, and he was a
better man—a softened roan.
" Can 1 aee yon a moment, nn*lo ?"
said Grace, heating lmck, with a look,
the crowd that pressed forward, in silent
determination, to secure securities lie
fore leaving the office. " Can I see-you?
1 must see yon a moment privately."
Leaving Danton, Br., to battle with
their creditors, her uncle led the way
into his pnvate office and boltei the
door
" Ilow is it with yon, nnelo ?" she
suid. Tell me all 1 Tell me the worst 1
Tell me quickly !"
" Another day, Gracie," said her
ancle, gloomily, will end the struggle,
and I shall be bankrupt. Thi* would
not have been, even now, hut William
Danton has been a defaulter for a large
amount, disappearing with the greater
portion of the assssta of tho firm, just
previous to the crisis. If I had but a
small amount, could last through one
more day, and satisfy my creditors, 1
could easily re-establish myself in the
fublic confidence. Bat wliv should
grieve yon with this, my child ? You
cannot help me."
" I can help you some, perhaps, uncle.
Would twenty thousand dollars be of
any service to you ?"
He started to his feet, snd grasped
her hand like a vise. " Twenty thousand
dollars would save me from ruin."
'• Yon can have it, then, by one
o'clock,"
Without another word she rushed from
tbe banker's office, and giving an order,
in an hasty voice, to her coachman,
distanced every carriage in passing, and
ere long, in her husband's office, was
nervously counting over the soft, old,
yellow, greasy rags, that were laid ns an
emollient upon the festering sensibilities
of her uncle's creditors.
Iu another half hour, these old, yel
low, greasy rags were laid in her uncle's
hands. Two—three—o'clock came-bank
honrs were over ; tbe sun was nearing
its setting ; financiers many of them
financiers no more for life —lingered
about Mnmmou's quarter, as if h>th to

The morrow's sun arose ti|M>n many

There were few loungers arouuu their

gaunt and grim, grew into more definite

more attractive to the interested or the
eurums. And so on, from day to dav,
stalked the uauic, hand in hand with
poverty, until, euuteut with their work,
they cast a triumphant smile upon the
wreck they had made, and retired.
Hy littlro, Mr. Manning, though
shaken iu health, began to restore hi*
shattered fortunes, and, re-established
in publie confidence, his house aoou re
gained its old popularity.
It is nedless to say, Grace Howard
was also re-established in the confidence
aud the hearts of her adopted parents;
and a great concession it was for Mra.
Manning when she admitted for the
first time to her husband, "Yea, Oracie
was wiser than we."
In Mr. Manning's iron safe there lies
a legally-attested will, and by this testa
meut, when death shall have claimed
the uncle and aunt, Grace Howard is
destined to bo one of the wealthiest
women in the city.
She is not yet aware of it, but Oscar
sometimes says to his wife;
"I don't think, dear, they dislike us

How t'arlette Lives,

Th Farmrm ! tht <Joi vrnvtNit.
Mr. M. F, Maury, the eminent seient
*t,.<h-livered an interesting address at
the St. Lottis Fair, in which b* said ;
" The question of whielt I aui about
to treat is one of this sort: How shall the
farmers of the country procure from the
General Government that degree of ouu
sideration nud such legislative cucour
ageuient for agriculture as it requires
uud deserves ? Its iuiperbuico, when
coulrustrd with the other great interests
of the country, such as ootunieroc and
navigation, railroading, mining and
muuufacturiug is, to say the least, quite
equal to theirs. Then why should it not
receive as much rouatderwtiou from the
law givers ? It is admitted by all, for it
la practically demonstrated, that the
railroad men, the merchants, the miners,
and the manufacturer* have for more in
tiuetioe and power in Washington ami
with the Htate legislatures than your
honest farmers and iudutriovsmoehauica
have. Ilow is this? led u# ascertain,
and then I think you will agree with me,
that if they have more influence and
iKtwer with the Government than you
have it is yourselves end not they that are
to blame, for if you choose to let your
interests go by default while tbey pull
together and follow their* up you have
no cause of complaint. Their associa
tions call men together and yours dis
perse them. They assemble iu cities
villages, nud congregate for work in
.large number*. They have daily end
hourly access in the post office, the tele
graph, and the §*r>iMKT proas, oud
hold constant roifltquu.ealiou* by sign*
and oorreapoudenee with their fellows
everywhere. You on the other hand are
scattered over the face of the country,
are all day at work in your own fields,
uud somctimee see whole week* pass by
without a word of conversation with n
■ ugle aoul save those of your own house
hold. This inclines so many farmers to
'old fogytam;' mokes you averse to pull
together mid lgth to hold meetings to
discuss tha interest* of agriculture, and
then to combine for the purpose of pro
curing the necessary l- gialatu-n. They,
on tho contrary, have their guides, their
boards, their exchangee, societies, and
associations iu which they meet daily
and in large cities nightly. One manu
facturer or rniuer may have in his am
ploynu'Ut 1,080 hands, and one 'railroad
king* lo,ooi> men. And o they combine
and bring pressure upon legislatures and
governors while yon, like 'true laborers'
are quietly at home happy to see 1 the
ewes graxc and their lamoft suck.' Now
1 want to persuade you—and by ' you' I
apostrophise all those who, taken to-
S tiier, represents the rural mUroat* of
e whole country—l want to persuade
you to be more alive to your common
'welfare, to turn over a new leaf and aee
that hereafter agriculture suffers no
wrong through tack of co-operation and
concert among former* or through want
of advocates in high places. In persuad
ing 1 mean to Convince. According to
official statements, statements not gen
erally very accurate, I adroit, but suffi
oieuOy so In this instance, perhaps, to
give an idea of your wealth —your crone
last rear amounted in round ntinilwrs to
i,806,000,000. That ia the annual pro
duce of your labor, and it is increasing.
What, oompared to this, ia the produce
of the mines, the gains of commerce, or
the earnings of railroads ? According to
the last census there are said to be 12.
500,000 'bread earners' in the United
States. These fill the months of the
39,000,000 million of people who inhabit
the country. Thus, every one who is
not a drone, has, on the average, to earn
broad for three mouth*. Follosstng up
throe statistics it ap|>eara that these sev
eral industries subsist respectively : The
agricultural and mechanic.*!, 23,889,000
souls ; the commercial. 2,326,000 souls ;
tho maunlacturiug, 1.117,000; the min
ing. 472.000; the railroad aud express
men. 893,000. Foster the great National
Agricultural Congress that had its birth
tu this rity on the 28th day of May last.
It has already spoken regard tonne
of these great measure*, and ere its
memorial could be enrolled and sent up
k> Washington, the publie pre** took up
the petition, sad legislators catching its
spirit, passed—though they were upon
the very heels ol th# sesaiou —an art in
creasing the appropriation for the Sig
nal Office, and commanding it to addrem
its labors to the benefit of agriculture as
well as of commerce. Thus we have an
suspicious beginning and a good omen.
The Government in Washington acted
before it had rooeiv<d the official pro
ceedings of the Agricultural Google*.
These asked, not ouly that the lslwra of
the Signal Office should be turned In the
interest of agriculture, but that the na
tions should be invited to a general eon
fcronoe, in which the details might be
arranged for a universal system of mete
orological observations and crop reports.
Your Congress has pledged itself to this
measure, and it is one of those great
tnovro you see, that gue* beyond the
confines of any Stnlo society, And ia too
big even for any one nation to handle.
It requires th* influence of governments
t* bring it into notice, and the united
co-operation of the world to earry it out
Tbi* plan pro|oscs that all the nations
of the caith shall co-operate in a com
mon system of meteorological observa
tions and rrooareh, and unite in a gee -
eral crop plan of reports, to be agreed
njion in joint conference, so that you
mar lie all kept posted, from seed time
to harvest, as to the promise and vleld
of tho staple crops in all parts of the
world, and lenrn truly to discern the face
of the sky. For, with tho system in
suocomfal operation, cvsry one of you
may expect to acquire foreknowledge of
the seasons such as yon can utilize, and
to learn at least once—perhaps twice—a
month throughout tbe year, aa lo the
yield and promise in tho various coun
tries. of Uio great staples with which
you have to compete iu tho markets of
the world. This information will etfable
you to fix prices upon your staples in
stead of going to the merchant* to sot
tho price for you; it will bo proclaimed
by telegram*, distributed through the
mails, and repealed by the county and
village press throughout the land, until
every farmer will, in his own interest
imd for self protection, bo compelled to
take at least one newspaper: so here,
besides tho general and patriotic, is a
direct pecuniary interest which tho press
bos in advocating this measure and in
helping us to 'roll this ball along.' I
toll you that since tho application of
steam to mechanical put poses there is
nothing of so wide and general impor
tance to agriculture, nothing that is more
rich with promise, than this simple
scheme, which is grand aria potential for
good, chiefly because of its simplicity,
l'lie triumph of useful ideas is only a
question of tune; and this is one of
tucni.

Third avenue care down town sine# bait
paat two o'clock ; the Fourth avenue ia
running a few care occasionally," aaid the
djstraotod tarter to the applicant*, and
ht> repeated these words at least 8,400
time*. Whenever a Fourth avenue car
inne in eight, Itergh having quarantined
the Third avenue line, a ataiupedo took
place, scores of |xj<ple racing down the
street to meet it and secure a foothold
inside. Hat it happened that every car
was filled up with paaaeogars long before
it reached its down town terminus, and so
the passengers waiting at the end were
ttill left out in the cold. Hot at half
past five and eix o'clock the scene was a
pitifnl one. Hundreds of weary shop
girls who had ridden down in the morn
ing now found no mean* of getting home
again, and their condition wae a aid one.
Metiy started out intending to walk all
all the wey, while hundred* of others who
lived further on toward* York villa and
Harlem and who, heaven knows, have to
endure enough even on an ordinary trip,
were now compelled to squswxe them
selves into the overladen cars, where
they stood halt-crushed until they had
reecho! their destination. The Sixth
avenue line etopped running, exoept a few
car*, which turned in on the Canal street
branch. These, also, were finally taken
off. The Eighth avenue earn, that ia a
law of them, came down aa far aa Cham
tiers street, where they turned. They
were always full of ap-paaaaangers before
they had even reached that point.
It appeared that the horses on the
weet aide of the city were recovering,
while those on th* east aide were faet
running down. For instance, the horses
of th* Hieecker street line, who** stables
are near the North river, were nearly all
in working condition, and the Seventh
avenue horses were eo well that the
company were able to run seven more
than the usual number. The Broadway
and University place car* aleo ran very
regularly, only a few can having been
withdrawn. The Fifth avenue stages ran
very few and far between. Only two
were seen to pass in Broadway inaids ol
half an hoar.
Female Smugglers.
Ths Detroit Fnt /'rss says: It is •
fact probably better known to the Custom
House official* than fa outsiders, that st
least every tenth woman who cross** the
Detroit nver carries smuggled goods. The
goods may be tea, coffee, socks, thread,
ribbon* or something else of great value,
but the intent to smuggle is there, and tbe
success in bringing over a small lot is
nearly always an indueement for the
■muggier to try the game on a larger scale.
Men may and do smuggle clothing now
stid then, but it it the female sex yhtch
carries the burden of guilt. Tbe Custom
House officials at the ferry dock in this
city are as vigilant as officers can ba, but
what chance have tbey against monster
hoop skirts and gigantie bustle*. Tbey
caunot sloop to peep under *bawls, exam
ine pockets, look into baby carta, and bold
a crowd on the host, and *o they must
continue their work with tbe knowledge
that goods are being smuggled, and that
only one grand and certain haul ol their
nets can trap the guilty and frighten the
innocent so that tbey shall never dare to
pursue the hnstnro*.'
The net wa* drawn yesterday. Tbe
officers commenced about two "oVloek,
wa'.king fifteen or twenty women upstair*
into the custom room*, and bonding them
over to a woman to be searched. Every
Host load which landed lor about three
hoar*, wn* treated in the *atne manner—
that it, all th* female portion. Some were
indignant, and appealed to tbetr husbands,
who vainly appealed to th* custom officer*.
Others wanted to faint away, but after
looking at the plank* and the dust, con
cluded not to; others srept, laughed or
turned pair, but none ol them were per
mitted to escape. During the afternood
about one hundred and fifty women were
confronted by Uocle Sam, and the oln
man had • r**l deal of fun and madcaome
wonderful discoveries.
For instance, s modest little woman.who
was iu a great hurry to go borne to her
rick child, pulled out a lew pin*, and ten
yard* of English to the floor.
A tall woman, with te*n in her eyes, who
asserted that she would sxmer coop ber
bimd off than think of smuggling, unfast
ened • pound of te* from her skeleton and
•reertcd that it muit have b*en placed
there hy a >mc designing person. Another
one indignantly denied the right of March
trot after remaining a prisoner far an boar*
or two, told the searchir to take it and go
to grass, throwing a package of ribbons
and lace* on the floor. A lot of calico wa*
lound on another, some velvet on nothcr
and at least ten per cent, ot tbe whole
number were found to be engaged in
smuggling, Tbe officials were satisfied
with confiscating the goods.

Tha New Zealand Herald give# Uie
following particulars with reference to a
case recently brought under investigation
at the Water Police Office : "It appears
that the brig Carl left levuka on the 4th
of July, 1871, for the New Hebrides
group, her mission being ' labor' and a
search for lands suitable for a cotton ,
plantation. The crew consisted of the j
captain, J. Armstrong ; the mate, Charles j
Uawdtn ; the cook and steward, Dsvaa-;
cove ; also George Heath, Willian Lewis,
end two aativee of Somoa. Besides these
the following gentlemen accompanied the
vessel: Dr. Murray (an intended sharer
in any land or eottoa-growittgepeoulaiioa
that might be available; and four others—
Mount, Wilson, Scott, and Morris. The
vessel arrived at Afi without taking any
men or being successful in exploration,
bat a block of land was purchased from
the natives. No white* were on the
island. Yarn* in large quantities were
purchased here, and alt went well. The
native* cams off in large numbers to
trade with the people on the ship. While
trading, however, a boat's crew waa sent
to sound for an anchorage, but th* boat
was fired at by ether native*. It is
alleged that this conduct so incensed th*
crew and passengers that on the return
of the boat aa attack was made *• those
trading. Home doacn men were captured,
and some few were shot. Every one
Joined in the outrage. They next sailed
along Eepiritn Han to, not touching, end
■lighting Cap* Cumberland. Tbey stood
for the Solomon group, and at the lalet of
| Hants Anna many native* cause to trade.
Here, when the canoes came alongside
they were npaet, and the vessel's boat*
picked np th# native* when they were
attempting to awim to shore. On this
; occasion there waa a native shot la th*
water because be happened to be armed
| with a bow and arrow. About tweH4meo
were taken. They then tailed along th*
coast of Maylaytoe. No men were obuin
:ed here. They proceeded to tits Straits
of Maylaytoa and Yaabel Island. Natives
came out, and having traded with them for
some time, their canoes were captured
and broken in the following meaner.
Either (when their eenoee were aloffipftdei
e number of the men jumped into one of
' them, end eo by lb air descent upset or
sank it, or else heavy weights, auch aa
place* of pig-iron attached to a rope,
j were suddenly thrown down, and thus
lb* canoes were broken up. The native*
I invariably took to the water, and moat ol
; them were ptcini np by the ship's boats,
j Several natives were taken on this oo
i caaion. There were no lives lost. The*
then proceeded to the Florid* Island.
! shortly after the eoeae of the murder of

Sydney, as detailed below, wbeo one of

! number being uncertain. No violence in
the way at shooting occurred at Florida
Island, aa no canoes cams out except in
th* case of those taken. The Carl re
mained bnt a abort time there." The
Herald adds: " The scoooer Lavinia

i massacre are taken from the log of th#
! Lavinia, and have been famished to na by
I captain Brodie : "On the 2dth of April
Iwe anchored in a small bight at the
: eastern end of the Florida Island. We
i ilshed her# for ten day* very successfully,
I the chief Domo rendering his assistance
| in keeping ,order among the natives on

I shifted round to Moboli Harbor, a boat
| four mike IMRI where we then were,
j On Monday the 6th of May, w# arrived at
I Moboa, and got our house up. randy tor
I curing bccbe-de-tner. Tbe native* at
i that place indicated treachery. Friday
th* 10th, everything looked very quiet on
shore and not many native* about. After
we had our breakfast I told Lonia Nixon
and five natives to get into th* whale
boat, aa I was going away to look for
another harbor. Before getting into the
boat I particularly told the three men on
board the steamer to allow no natives on
board. We started with a fine breeze
right aft. After we got away about four
miles the wind begin to freshen into a
stiff breeze, and I begin to be sfiaM,
if we went away any farther, tbe natives
would not be able to poll back, so I tam
ed round and made for the schooner.
When we got about 800 yards from tbe
reeee] we beard a shriek, and, looking
toward the shore, we saw a native swim
ing off to the boat. We nulled towards
him, and, to oar surprise, found him to be
one of our own men, and, from what we
could make out of him, and seeing no
movements on board the schooner, we
pulled along shore. Tbe Florida natives
were yelling and brandishing their spear*
at us, and 1 surmised their must be some
thing wrong. As we pulled up to the
schooner we all got ready for boarding,
and on getting alongside we jumped up
nil together. Hoeing no natives on deck
we rushed to the hatches to see it they
Imd got possession, but titers were not a
living soul on board ; but we saw one of
the most horrible sights imaginable.
Jamce Shearer was lying alongside the
windlass with his head split open, and
several wounds in bis side. Charles Wolf
was lying amidships, with his head batter
ed in and his brains scattered over tbe
hatches. George Heller* was lying with
his heed nearly severed from his body.
I think, from the appearance of the bodies,
that Hellera waa the only one that had a
struggle with the natives. Shortly after
we got possession of the schooner our
own natives rushed out of the bush into
the water, and 1 eent the boat and picked
the S all up. ________
A WHOM FAMILY BCRIXX> ALIVK.—A
family by the name o( Hunt, consisting
of the father, mother and three children,
have been living on a claim some two
miles from Marion Center, in Marion,
County, Neb. Their house was situated
in a ravine, bnilt of stone and roofed
with dirt and sod, which was supported
with timbeia. A few nights ago, as
some persons were returning home from
a dance, tbev noticed that the tool had
fallen in. They immediately went to
tho house and found that the roof had
fallen in npon the family aa they lay
sleeping in their beds. The party went
at once to relieve them, and, upon tak
ing the dirt awav, found the mother and
three children aeud, and the father ao
fastened and held in his place that he
waa even powerless to help himself.
Th* i oof was very heavy, and came down
iu crushing force npon tbe inmates of
the fatal honae. For hours the father
hail lain {tinned to his bed, and waa com
pelled to hear the dying agonies of his
wife and children ; compelled to listen
to their piteous cries lor help. Out on
the prairie, beyond human reaoh, im
mured in a living tomb, the hours slow
ly dragged along, and still no help.
Still the appeal to "Father, help us,"
until all of human agony waa endured,
and then a silence crept over that abode,
which was but the atiltneaa of death it
self.
JAR.— An illustration of the effect of
(be jar produced upon the particles of
iron in a rail or a cannon in constant
iite, may be got by scattering iron dust
upon a piece of glass, under which there
lies a magnet, and tapping the glass
gently. The particles of iron rearrange
themselves in new lines, as in granula
tion, and this is what destroys the life
of the railway track or oolumbiad.
