" Well, icy dear, what is this dread ful affair about poor Williamsl" "What affair i" repeated her spouse, who, stated in a m-t delightfully com forte ble chair, was .-olaoiag himself with a new review. "What affair i" he re pes tt\l, looking at her from under his spectacles, in gr< it a tonishment " Why, you know as well as 1 do," re turned the lady, pettishly ; " what you were talking to Mr. Day about, this afternoon." The bank director gaaed in still in creasing wonder. " When Maggie was on the steps," added his wife. "Oh !" said he, returning, with a low laugh, to his boos, "it was nothing." "Xowvon need not tell meso,"an swercd hit wife ; "it was something, and I insist npou knowing what." Mrs. Lindsey's "insist?" were by no means terrifying. He replied, there fore, quietly : "My dear, it is impos sible lor me to tell yon ; it was a secret con tided to me." Then there is something, thought she, triumphantly, although silent at the last speech. Mrs. Lindat-y walked abont the next day with the important air of a person who bad made a discovery. She looked puternatumlly wise and fearfully solemn, even while washing the br akfast cups, and expiring with impatience for the arrival of the after noon. She went over as soon after diuner as it was decent, to pass it with her friend and neighbor, Mrs. Vernon. This lady hail not been her friend and neighbor for so many years without dis covering the infallible signs and symp toms of a secret; so s&t determined not to t ike the slightest hint, or betray the least curiosity, being a very sure way, she very well knew, of nipping the in tended disclosure in the bud. She per mitted Mrs. Lindsey to run on till she hail exhausted herself, in such like truisms : '' How distressing it is to be decern d in any one yon have respected and liked " Well, truth is stranger than fiction " What a world we live in " Certainly one learns new things every day " I never was more sur prised in my life than I was yesterday." This looked like comiug to the point, so Mrs. Vernon raised her eves and began to appear interested. "But," said Mrs. Lindsey, drawing hack her head (as she perceived the movement) with no little dignity, "one mn-t keep some things to ones self." Mrs. Vernon looked down on her knitting, and oegan talking of indifferent matters. Nothing could he more becoming. Piqued at her affect- d lack of curiosity, Mrs. Lindsey, in a sort of spite, made the disclosure. " I can never look at him again with out horror and disgust," exclaimed Mr*. Vernon, after a moment of breath lees asto'.i-hmeiiL " Who could believe it! Such an agreeable, man, but Satan knows well enough wheie to choose his servants." " 1 really thought it wa my duty to tell yon." continued Mrs. Lindsey, gratified beyoud reinsure at the eff.-ct she had produced. " for be has In-en so very polite, yon know, to 3 our daugh ter Gertrude, and now, of course " " Of course," interrupted Uer friend, " she shall have nothing more to say to him." " I wonld not cut him dead, my dear," exclaimed Mrs. Lindsey, in some alarm, " for nothing more of this is to come out, you understand. My hus band, Dr. Day, and all of IVm, it ap pears, have determined to conceal it, and as the young man lias behaved very well since his arrival here, we must on no aoeount rake up this old matter." " Oh ! certakly; I shall sav nothing, you depend npon it," answer- d her companion, " except to warn Gertrade, and insist npon her discouraging his attentions and treating him withegri-at ooolness. What can he have done ?" she exclaimed, after a moment's pause. " That is more 11 an I can tell," an swer-d Mrs. Lindsey. - Xhe wonls oertainly give one's imagination free scope. I have thought of t v.-ry thing, and really could not sleep last night for distress and fear. I imagined bim gliding into the bank with 'alse keys and shaded lantern, -n, for the darkened room concealed the pallid cheek, and wiid, startled ex pression in the soft, blue eye.

Mr. Frank William*, the victim of these machination*, ww one of those universally popular ami happily con stituted characters who take everywhere, witli young ami old, grave and gav. Hi* peculiarly fascinating exterior had, of course, ainuething to do with this, but, more than all, a never ending flow of good spirit* and amiability, or suavi tivemnw, a* phrenologist* would term it, which possesses an irresistible attrac tion. This much vauuteil quality made him play, romp and make himself a n diculous as thev could deaire with chil dreu, just as he could listen witli tlie most deferential and interested atUui tiou to the long, dull harangues of their papas and mammas. His bow to his lady low. Miss tier trade Vernon, was the perfection of courtesy ami grace, *i> it was to pcHr old Mr. Anderson, who sold books and pamphlet* at the little shop on the i\r uer of tlie street. The very attendants at the large house where he boarded had wings when he was to be served. Yiw, Mr. Frank Williams was, or rather hail Ixxui, a universal favorite. But, lo ' a wondrous change. The pleasur able flutter, sgitatiou and smiles, which were wont to mark his approach at isir ties, all had disappeared, and in their place he beheld a sullen and ominous gravity and shrinking. Young ladies instead of being " most happy," were "engaged," or "* fatigued," or "just going home," wlieu he asked them to dance. Miss Cornelia W oke. So! she did not accept them when he tendered his service*. The pretty widow, Mrs. Harcoort, no longer seize more . prudent to tell her all and bind her to secrecy." " Winch she has not kept," said Mrs. Fisher, " for she has told Mrs. Paris, who has told the whole town, I suspect, for everybody knows it, aud it ia uiak mg a groat deal of trouble." "1 am very sorry," answered Mrs. Wells. " What can 1 dot Shall 1 go I and see Mrs. Douglass f" " Yew, by all means; put on your things uow, and then come to our house and tell me what she says," tepliixl her I cousin. Mrs. Wells was a timid woman, and it took her some time to broach the ; subject. " You remember what I bld you alxrnt Mr. Williams f" she said, at length, iu a low, ooufuaed tone. " Yes," answered Mrs. Douglass, witli the most composed air iu the world. "Did you ever tell any one—Mrs. Davis f" stammered joor Mrs. Wells, feeling like the victim herself. "No!" answered Mrs. Douglass, "Mrs. Davis told me." "Is it possible ?" said her auditor, iu a delighted surprise. How did she hear it I" "It was the same story; it cam* from Mrs. Lilidsev," auswereil her friend. "She told Mrs. Allan, who told Mrs. Johnson, who told Mrs. White, who told Mrs. Davis, and she told me." "Indeed.'" said Mrs. Wells, with an I astonished expression of countenance peculiar to herself. " Indeed !" What a racing and chasing was there that livelong afternoon about " that affair" of Mr. Frank Williams. What a commotion in eight or ten feminine hearts i married ones ! tool of which he was most unwittingly the cause. Pur ple, brown and stone colored cloaks were dodging each other in all direc j tiona, and after explanations and re I explanations by everybody shook their hands free of the matter, voting that Mrs. Lindsev was the guilty peraou, on whom retribution should fall. She (unfortunate woman) was sitting quietly at home in pleasing ignorance of all this commotion, when Mrs. Veruon, with a (Hx-uliarly pursod-up expression of conn :nance, came iu. Never siuce the memory of man, or woman either, had Uer fri< nd and neighbor looked so aw j fully solemn ami rigidly severe. Mrs. | Lindsey bad not heart or voice enough to bid her " good-evening;" she merely oiotioued her to a seat, and gazing | steadfastly at her, waited for her to ; i>egin. " 1 am surprised, Mrs. Lindsey," at : Setigth said the lady, "at your attacking ; uc with making public that story alxmt Mr. Williams, when you have informed j everybody else of it, as well a* myself." j Still, Mrs. L'Uilsey said nothing; she merely looked for a further explanation. " Y'oti told Mrs. Allan," said her com | jianion, in reply to the look, " and she I told Mrs. Johnson, and " " I told Mrs. Allan ?" ga*|>ed Mrs. Lindsey, at length; " I never told nny one but you." " What ! not one Sunday, comingj from church I" A sudden light glancvdf upon poor Mrs. Lindsey. " But I did not tell her anything," answered she; "I merely hinted at something." "Well! that is the amount of it," -aid her friend; " it is a hint at some thing with all of us, and none of us know what it means ; and I, for mv -.•art, am inclined to think the whole af ir is but a child's nonsense, magnified by a very timid, nervous woman.' A nil with this neighborly speech np- j on her lips, Mrs. Vernon departed. This ■as by no means the la-d of Mrs. Lind xy's troubles that evening, for her lord and master came home at nine o'clock in s towering passion about the same matter. It appeared that on l>eir.g in- ' t- rrogated by Mr. Frank Williams as to the cause and occasion of the offense he ppeered to have given people in gen eral, his friend, Mr. Maxwell, had told nim that it was somethirg which came brongh Mrs. LinJsey, which rhe had heard from her hnaliand ; and what the •• something " was, she nor nobody else •■new. Convinced" that there woesome mistake, for Mr. Williams was not aft to "UsjKxrt his friend*, nnd Mr. Lindsey he knew was his friend, he hastened to tljt gentleman and asked an explanation. For a moment Mr. Lindsey was be wildered ; ha was as iguoraut as Wil liams him*. lf; but a thought of Maggie nd his wife's stipsicions on that even- 1 iug flashed across him. " My dear fellow," he exclaimed, "I am distressed that this has happened. I understand perfectly what it is ; all nonsense—silly women, silly women." And he raced home, leaving his andi ior, if possible, more astonished thau lie had found him. Mr. Lindsey was really furious, and his meditations on the way.borne as to all Williams had •offered in conaequenoe of hie wife's j gossip did not serve to calm his feelings. I "And so, my dear," ssid ho, a lie' dashed into tne room, "you've been milking pretty dish for yourself." Mrs. Lindsey heard in silence, while her spouse walked up and down the room wondering how women came to be •neb fools nnd hi* wife such a particular one, and concluded by striding np to liis terrified helpmate and asking her " what be wjs to say to Mr. Williams for all her confounded nonsense ?" " Itut he ' s done something dread ful; you know he has," she sobbed, at i length, byway of a palliation. " What efore the girl made a fool of her self. This was confided to me as a se cret, which was the reason I did not tell voti at the time, for I know very well what a secret is in the hands of a woman—the whole race—even my little Maggie can keep nothing to herself." In spite of this taunting speech, his tone softened, and Mrs. Lindsey gained courage. "I am sorry, my dear," said she, "that I have made so much mischief, but there is DO use groaning over it now. I'll endeavor to mend it as far as possible. I'll tell everybody that it was a mistake of mine, and take the blame on my own unfortunate shoulders; be sides saying everything neoeusary and appropriate to Mr. Williams himself." A week from that night did Mrs. Liiul sey make as many graceful and apolo getic remarks as she could well muster to Mr. Fiauk Williams, end Wttle Mag gie shower down kisses and tears in- i numerable on hia check*. He went from j there a party where all the yeriiig : "You'll not refuse to jiermit mo to escort yon hornet" " Certainly not, Mr. Williams," alio replied, with a bluali mi.l a mullet. " Never, never, will I re|>e*t anything that I hoar agniu," wtu Mrs. I.a ml soy's oonclnd IIK exclamation that eveuiug— "•particularly to that gisul f" r nothing Mm. Vernon," h added, mentally. Suffering* of the Servian Woii>d<4. Mr. Archibald For baa, writing to tho t*>udoii Ihiitj/ from Paratxiu, says : It is well that the Servian wound od do not seem t> oijaot much or to caw for neglect. 1 never saw fluer stoicism. Sot a grt.au was uttered as tho rough cart* bumped over tho jagged stones, not a murmur indicating that tho fierce nun tioatiug down on the sufferer* was an inoonvenieuoo, much lean an m- Hupjuirtable anguish. The* are flash an 1 blood, of oouma, and one would ituagiuo that flash and blood of ouo race must fool physical suffering as acutely as the floah ami blood of another. Hut we have evidence that thia ia not ao. The Hindoo endures without apjuireiit serious iuconvoiiifiuv wouuda under which the British soldier writhes in agouy, and the former recovers easily aud speedily from an operation after which tha latter will for weeks ami mouths lie prostrate. Tho Servians sav of themselves that they aro "hardy," but 1 cannot but tliiuk that this hardihood in making light of wounds and suffering is t<> lie ascribed at least in part to a I<-H acute sense of physical pain ihaii is the char acteristic of people living under leas primitive conditions. IKsl knows it is a giRH.I thing f r them if this is so, for tlicrc is small appliance for mitigating the anguish or promoting tho recovery of the Servian wounded. I have seen nothing used for the cleansing and dressing of woninls but a jet of cold wa tor, a tuft of lint, oftoner of common tow, and an inaiiAicicut bandage. Splints are made an they arc wanted, of a bit of bark, or the lid of a box. There is no chloroform, ami there are no hoe pital comforts. 1 saw a man with a smashed elbow, whose lamduge was in an indescribably 1 >atlisomeatate, get out ! of a wagon, enter a public house, buy for himself turns bread and wine, aud j consume the name on a Settee outside, with a serene indifference to the condi tion which, I am bonud to state, wan diared by those alsiut him. Hut this indifference, i>enoual aud k'eucial as it is, cannot wholly cojui with the inexorable oon.litious which nature enforces. Hospital gangrene follows swift on neglect-si wounds, aud the man who survives hospital gangrene, even if he be a Servian, is exceptionally fortu mite. In hospitals here- if yon oau apply such a name to the places in which the wounded are. littered—there are " gutter, lie wurdall'-which, altfaongh the imiu of death is steady, are urverthe .ess always full. An Heiress to (Ui60,000,U00. Hiss M"lia-*a Elder was a jHH-r clerk in a hotel diuing-room in Atchison, Kansas, and here is the account from a journal of that city of her wonderful nek : A short tiiii" ago Melissa Kldcr ell heir to £112.000,000 sterling, tin muting to aUmt gTs>0,00(1,000.

Ciesar's wife was also iceused at the same time, but Marc An ;■ -uy nftcxward said she was above run i icion, and nothing was done in the matter. All the property of Melissa's creat-great grandfather, however, was • mfiseated upon the testimony of a dr t'-ctivo. The detective afterword was taken with frenzied remorse, and wroU< a full confession, mov>sl to Pompeii, and was living in that ill-fated town when :be sudden catastrophe whieh befell it down in the prime of life. Dur 1® tho recent discoveries among the rams of Pompeii this confession was Uncovered, ami Miss Elder's great great grandfather w.i.s fnlly vindicated. A Chicago lawyer, who WHS traveling through Europe, heard of the circnm stance, and by aid of detective*, found in tlic |eron of Melissa Elder tho only surviving heir of her lamented great great-grandfather. The lawyer has taken the prosecution of the case on a contingent fee, aud Melissa 1 eves for Home to bike j>ossession of that town. Of course, we tender our congratula tions; $560,000,000 do not grow on buahM. The Probabilities of Sickness. Tlie business of life insurance is large ly based on purely mathematical calcu lation, involving the lawa of probabili ties, the object of which iato determine, by careful comparison of extended stat istical returns, and like information, the probable duration of a person's life :at every year of his existence. On the tabulated results is founded the scale of premium charges, projuirtionate b> the risk assumed. While every one is, of j course, interested in knowing how long J he is likely to live, he has n more inirne \ diato and vitsl interest in learning how often he is likely to lie sick, aud for how many days per year he will probably, by til health, be incapacitated for work. Dr. Reginald Sonthey has recently been delivering a course of valuable lectures on "Individual Hygiene" in London, and in one he introduced a table of "Ex poctation of Sickness," which lie had prepared, and which is as follows: At tw> nty years of nge, calculate on four sick days yearly. At twenty to thirty, ' Ave or six days. At forty Ave, seven days. At fifty, nine or ten days. At fifty five, twelve or thirteen days. At ■ ixty, sixteen days. At sixty live, thirty one days. At seventy, seveniy-four days. Of course this refers to people of average good health, and not b> those who may be afflicted with any ineradica ble or chronic ailment. A Case on Trial. Judge ami jury have been worrying ovei a dog case in Memphis, Tenn. Nothing could have been simpler than the issue of fact. A man stole a New foundland dog; but the law in regard to property in dogs a'ways has been past llmlitig out. Tho prisoner's counsel argued that under the common law dog sterling was not a crime or an indictable offense, end that no statute exists in Tennessee making dog stealing a pun ishable offense, such as larceny. Judge Adams held that the stealing of n dog was not a larceny or nil indictable of fense, and that the demurrer of the de fendant to the indictment on this ground was good. The attorney general then raised the point that the collur on the dog was personal property, aud the do fendant could be held to auswer for theft; but the adroit attorney on the other side retorted that the man took the dog, and that it wan the dog, and not the man, that was responsible for the collar. Tho prisoner was finally discharged. Now, the old question | comes up: If a dog is not pro(>erty, is I the dog tax constitutional ? A THHKK BAYS' VISIT.

The Louisiana purchase in 1803, supplemented by the Oregon treaty of 1816, added 1,171,931 square miles to the national domain; the Upauish cession in 1819 embraced 59,- 268 square miles; the annexation of Texas iu 1845, the treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo iu 1848, and the Gadsden pur chase in 1853, brought in 967,451 rquare mi.es; and, finally, Mr. Sewaril's Aiask inv< stnient involved the acquisition of 500.0(H) square miles. The total area is now 3,603,844 square miles, or 1,042, 000,000 acres, one-half of which are public lands. In surface extent three nations surpass the United States—the British, Chinese and Russian empire*. The arable laud under cultivation is less than one-tenth of the total area. An Offer.

The method of tsott|w< of the Fenian prisoners, six in number, who h*v* ar rivtxl in New York, was suggested bj the experience of John Boyle O'Reilly, uow editor of the Boston tSUA. Iu 1 fifty the whaling tmrk Gazelle, of New Bet! ford, was musing off the Australian coast, under command of Capt. David K Gilford. To thta veaael O'Hetlly, then a priaoner, wo* • ouveyed in a a mall l*>at, through the assistance of his friend*. GapL Henry 0. Hathaway, then third mate of the Gaaelie and now city marshal of New Bedford, waa in strumental iu saving the escaped pria oner'* life, who, having been by aoine mischance thrown into the water, waa supported there for several hours by Gapt. Hathaway, and finally reacned tu nearly a lifeless condition. From tins mcldwDt and Gapt iiathaway'a kindneaa ami sympathy, a warm friendship i sprung np between the two men, which ha* since continued. O'Reilly waa very iinxioiis to assist the other Fenian pria j oners to escape, aud when, after consul lation with other sympathizers ia thia country, it was concluded to make an , attempt in that direction, the manner of his own escape naturally suggested the must feasible plan. Gapt. Hathaway'* advice was sought by those iu charge of the expedition, and he waa urged to take command of ! it, bnt thia he felt obliged to refuse. He, however, gave tiiem the benefit of hia experience ou the Australian coast, and his directions were followed almost to the letter. The bark Gatalpa, of 202 j um, then in the merchant business, though formerly a whaler, was pur chased, nominally, by John T. Richard son, of New Bedford, and others, Mr. Riohardaou, who owns an eighth inter est, actiug as agent. As the veasel was to nail ostensibly for a whaling voyage, she was fitted out for that pnrpuae, un der the direction of Gapt Hathaway. Gapt. George Anthony, a man about thirty yean old, and who from hia youth has been engaged in whaling, was se lected as master. This was hia first voyage in that capacity, but the seamau slup and courage he had displayed pre vionaly, fitted him for the rs.>sition. The Catnips sailed from New Bedford, \pril 22. 1*75, clearing for a whaling cruise in the Atlantic and Indian ooeaua. The crew was composed mainly of Ma lays and Poitnguee. So qnietly had all the arrangement* lteen made that no suspicion of the true object of the voy age was existed. It is said that the only jM-rsons in addition to the promoters of the scheme who knew of the plan were Gapt. Hathaway and Mr. Iltchardaon. Gapt. Anthony, of course, knew the na ture of hi* errand. None of his crew had l>een informed of thia, although it is thought that the cooper, who is au Irishman, may have had some idea of it. The whaling merchant* in New Bedford denounced the purchase and fitting out of the Cat&lpa as a foolish venture. The first news from the vessel after she ssil -d was received in March of this year, when (die was reported to !>e off the west ooast of Australia, with 250 barrels of siwrm oiL When the first intimation of the rescue wa* received in May last, it w s generally disbelieved, even the ag> at stating that the vessel could not lw in the place assigned to her. It was generally thought that the Catalps woold first make port at New Bedford, al though the originators of the expedi tion expected she would land the rea med men either at Fernandina or Charleston. The six men who escaped were soldiers in the English army, and were sentenced to penal servitude for life. The Story of the Ilodja. Once as the hodja of Turkey was walking iu a cemetery by the side at a logbwsy, it oorurred to him to hide in mi old tomb to watrh whether the good a;.d bed angels of judgment would oome. While he was thus waiting, all nt once then came the sound of 1 wills; and struck with the idea that the day of resurrection and the last judgment were at band, he crept ont of hia hiding place. It was a caravan going by, and the mules, frightened at the sodden ap parition, fell into disorder and " stam peded." Upon this the mole drivers, sticks in haud, !>e*et the hodja, aud in quired who he waa. " A dead man." " What are you doing ont here, then f" "Only taking a walk." "A walkf We'll walk yon I" And they assaulted the hodja with such vigor that he only escaped with many bruises, a broken head and two black eyes. When his wife saw him in such a plight, she asked where he came from. "From the dead," said he. " I have ' been in a tomb." " Well, bow do things go on in the other world t" " Why, wife, yon had better look out there for one thmg—not to frighten the pack mules." A Wholesale Trader In Live Stock. Capt.

Mid flight through the fearful iwunp, which to this day bean the appropriate name of "The Shade* of Death." The fatal blow was * truck on the third of July, 1778, ami the thrilling details of the bloody btufaoas that ensued—the uaaaa crt of men, women and children; the noble Stan J taken by the yoemanry with pikes and sickles and pitchforks, and such other implements sa they oould oommand ; the flight of the wounded in canoes down the river ; the hardships encountered in the wilderueaa—all con spire to make up one of the moat har rowing chapters in the history of any land, or any era ancient or modern. The .'ingei of death spread rain and desola tion over the place, and what a few short ilava l*-fore was a verv paradise seemed transformed to a hell more awful than over presented itself to the lurid imagi nation of a Dante. We who lire in the midst of security and surrounded now by the monuments raised up by the march of civilization, can never form more than a faint idea of the. terrors that filled the valley from end to end dunng that horrible tragedy. Nor can we bat faintly conjure to our selves a picture of the fugitives—gray haired men, feeble women, and helpless children—who struggled to escape from the awful scene, those they loved, sons, husbands and brothers, burning at the stake or subjected to torture more cruel, while they pursued their journey engirt by death. It is a picture filled to overflowing with bitter memorie . The descendants of some of the sufferers who survived htill reside here, and have conversed with me since my advent to the valley of the thrilling stories which their fathers and mothers often told them, and I drove to the crude monument erected by the patriotic women of Wy oming and read the following iaacrip tion : Near Una spot wae fought, on the afternoon of Friday, the third day of July, 1778, TBI RATTLE OF WTOWTRS, in which a small band of patriotic American* chiefly the undisciplined, the youthful and the aged,'spared by ueffieieucv from the distant ranks of the Republic led by Ooloael Zebu 100 lkiAlar and Colonel Nathan Detitaon, with a c lorage that deterred •cooem. boldly met and bravely fought a combined British Tory and Indian force of thnee their number.

The precise location of this pit had not been discovered until 1882, when by a mere accident the bones were exposed to view. Probably in no nation has there been j such bravery exhibited or such savagery practiced as"at the battle of Wyoming, where, a* the monument eloqaently at Wwts: " the undisciplined, the youthful | and the aged " displayed such heroism. Thermopylae has often bean cited in prose and essay as the scene of true Sicroism, but Wyoming deserves a niche fully as high iu the t- in pic of fame, and an altar as divine at the fane of bravery. Tbe tierce linn was mild when CHUB pans! with the savage luduui, and Attila, " the scourge of God," was meek when compared with the " Mammoth Brandt," of whom the poet fitly said : Aocuraed Bnm.ltho loft of all my tribe Nor m-tj. nor child, nor thing of living birth : No! not thodog that watched my household hearth Escaped that night of blood npon our plains ! Wyoming valley terms to-day with wealth. The grim black breaker lifts its towering head along the stately river, and is eloquent all .lay with the song of labor.

Very Fine Work. Sir Joseph Whitworth recently ex hibited three hexagonal steel plates at the Kensington museum, in England, which were so accurately planed that when one was placed on the other it glided about as if floating, and when one was dropped on another a "cushion" of air deadened the metallic sound, while, wheu the air was squeezed out, the contact was so close that the lower S'ato adhered to the upper when raised. e next made a measurement of 1-200,- 000 th of an inch with a machine which, at a certain temperature, will measure the millionth of an inoh, and lastly showed the tensile strength of steel, a specimen of which bore a strain of seventy-five tons to the square inch, without breaking. For bridges, etc., only five tons strain to the square inch are" required for safety; for guns, forty tons ; for shells, thirty-five tons.
