HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT,
BAD LEGS, BAD BREASTS, SORES AND ULCERS.
Ail descriptions of sures are remediable by the proper
and diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To at
tempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the
wound together is a folly ; for should the skin unite, a bog
gy diseased condition remains underneath to break out
with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and
rucce,sful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce
the inflammation in and about the wound and to soothe
the neighboring parts by rubbing in plenty of the Oint
ment as salt is forced into meat. This will cause the
malignant humors to be drained off from the hard, swol
len and discolored parts round about the wound, sore, or
ulcer, and when these humors are removed, the wounds
themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water poul
tice. applied over the affected parts, after the Ointment
has been welt rubbed in, will soothe and soften the sante,
and greatly assist the cure. There is a description of
nicer. sore and swelling, which need nut be named here,
attendant upon the follies of youth, and for which this
Oillunent is urgently recommended as s sovereign reme
dy. In curing such poisonous sores it never fails to restore
the system to a healthy state if the Pills be taken accord
ing to the printed instructions.
DIPTIIERIA ULCERATED SORE TIIROAT AND
SCARLET It ND UTILEX FEVEUS.
Any of the above diseases may be cured by well rub;
Ling the Ointment three timesa day into theehest, throat,
and neck of the patient, it will soon penetrate, and give
immediate relief. Medicine taken by the mouth must
operate upset the whole system ere its influence can be
kit in auy local part, whereas the Ointment will do its
work at once . Whoever tries the unguent in the above
manner for the disea.,es named, or any similar disorders
of the chest and throat, will find themselves re
lieved as by a charm. All sufferers from these complaints
should envelop the throat at bedtime iur a large bread and
water poultice, after the Ointment has been well rubbed
in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the throat and chest.
To allay the fwer and lessen the inflammation, eight or
ten Pills should be taken night and morning. The Oint
ment will prostate perspiration, the grand essential in all
cases of fevers, sore throat, or where there might be an
oppression of the chest, either from asthma or other
Ca 116,.
i'ILE3, FISTULAS, STRICTURES.
The above class of complaints will be removed by night,
ty fermenting the parts with warm water, and then by
most effectually rubbing in the Ointment. Persons suffer
ing from these direful complaints should lose not a mu
nwat in arresting their progress. lt should be understood
that it is not sufficient merely to smear the Ointment on
the affected parts, but it must be well rubbed in fora con
siderable time two or three times a day, that it may be
taken into the system, whence it will remove any hidden
son• or wound as effectually as though palpable to the
eye. There again bread and water poultices, after the
rubbing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This is
the only sure treatment for females, cases of cancer
in the stomach, or where there may be a general bearing
down.
•INDISCRETIONS OF YOUTH ;-SORES AND ULCERS.
nlotche.s, as also swellings, can, with certainty, be radi
cally cured if the Ointment be used freely, and the Pills
taken bight and morning, as recommended in the printed
ingtructions. When treated in any other way they.only
try up in ole place to break out in another ; whereas
this Ointment will remove the humor front the system,
and leave the patient a vigorous and healthy being.—
It will require time with the son of the Pill 3 to Insure a
lustieg cure.
DROPSD - AL SWELLINGS', PARALYSIS, AND STIFF
JOiNTS.
Although the al.oce complaints differ widely in their
origin ant nature. yet they all require local treatment.—
Many of the worst cases, of such diseases, will yield in a
comparatively sleirt space of time when this Ointment is
diligently rubbed into the pans affected, even after every
other means have liitilyd. In all serious maladies the Pills
should be taken according to the printed directions ac
companying each box.

Centennial Hymn.
Our father's God! from out whose hand
The centuries fall like grains of sand,
We meet to-day, unite!. free, -
And loyal to our land and Thee,
To thank Thee for the era done,
And trust Thee for the opening one.
here where of old, by Thy design,
The fathers spake that word of Thine
Whose echo is the glad refrain
Of rended bolt and fulling chain,
To grace our festal time from all
The zones of earth our guests we call.
Be with us while the New World greets
The Old World, thronging all its streets,
Unveiling all the triumphs won
By art or toil beneath the sun;
.Ind unto common good ordain
This rivalship of hand and brain.
Thou who bast here in concord furled
The war flags of a gathered world,
Beneath our - western skies fulfill
The Orient's mission of good will,
And, freighted with Love's golden fleece
Send back the Argonauts of peace.
For art and labor met in truce,
For beauty made the bride of use,
We thank Thee, while withal we crave
The austere virtues strong to save,
The honor proof to place or gold, •
The manhood never bought or sold
01 make Thou us, through centuries long,
In peace secure, in justice strong ;
Around our gift of freedom draw
The safeguards of Thy righteous law,
And, cast in some diviner mould,
Let, the new cycle shame the old I
The Careless Word
'Twas but a word, a careless word,
As thistle down it seemed as light;
It paused a moment in the air,
Then onward winged its flight.
Another lip caught up the word,
And breathed it with a hearty sneer;
It gathered weight as on it sped,
That careless word, in its career.
Then rumor caught the flying word,
And busy gossip gave it weight,
Until that little word became
A vehicle of angry hate.
And then that word was winged with fire,
Its mission was a thing of pain,
For soon it fell like lava drops
Upon a wildly tortured brain.
And then another page of life
With burning, scalding tears was blurred;
A load of care was heavier made,
Its added weight, that careless word.
That careless word, oh t how it scorched
A fainting, bleeding, quivering heart I
'Twas like a hungry fire, that searched
Through every tender, vital part.
How wildly throbbed that aching heart I
Deep agony its fountains stirred;
It calmed, but bitter ashes mark
The pathway of that careless word.

]3Y MARY REED CROWELL.
Lily Deane sat busily copying a favorite
poem, almost hidden from the sight of the
guests in Mrs. Grenville's drawing.room
by the rich folds of the lace curtains that
hung from the lofty French windows like
billows of foam.
A dainty, daisy-faced girl, with a com
plexion as fresh as the morning; with a
warm, rosy glow on the healthful skin,
and wine-bright sparkles in the big, vel
vety, gray eyes. A happy, earnest-hearted
girl, on whom all the finesse ()flier parental
aunt, the fashionable Mrs. Grenville, of
Lexington Avenue, had been wasted in
vain, in so far as that lady had attempted
to make a stylish city young lady of the
little rustic guest. A girl with plenty of
common sense, and an innate delicacy of
refinement that Alexouma and Ethelberta
Grenville, her twin cousins, might have
been proud to have possessed.
Now, nestling away among the foamy
curtains, Lily listened to the ripples of
conversation that eddied past her, think
ing—in the vague, half-distressful way of
thought that had, somehow, come to be
quite natural to her, these few last weeks
of that short, lightful winter spent in
New York—that of all these people who
bad met hei so many times in her aunt
Grenville's drawing room, there was not
one who would care when she should be
gone, unless—and just the faintest possi
ble little quiver ran through her pretty
figure, as the sound of Sydney Ellis' voice
suggested the possibility of an exception
in his favor.
He had been very good to her all that
winter—from the very day that Alexouma
introduced him, and told Lily after he had
gone that he was one of the most eligible
young men in the city, worth a couple
hundred thousands, and a perfect love of
a mansion on Fifth Avenue, not to men
tion his country seat on the Hudson.—
Lily had liked him from the very first=
and liked him none the less when Alexo
uma had whispered to her, in greatest pos
sible confidence, that she and Mr. Ellis
were so nearly engaged that it was as good
as accomplished. Liked him none the
less, certainly, but somehow she felt cu
riously strange about it
Not that she was in - love with him—in
deed, no ! She had told herself a thousand
times that she was in love with nobody,
and tried her best, and almost succeeded
in convincing herself, that it • was only a
little reluctance at leaving all the luxury
and the elegance of aunt Grenville's city
house, that made ha- so uncomfortable.
Until the sound of Sydney Ellis' voice
talking to a group of girls near her,
aroused her from that sad, distreisrul
mood that had taken complete possession
of her.

"Then you consider me a fair subject
for pity, ladies?"
"Only we don't believe a word of it,
Mr. Ellis. Just imagine the incongruity
of the thing !"
Miss Ethelberta Grenville laughed, and
looked straight into Mr. Ellis' eyes.
He smiled, as if amused.
"The 'incongruity' of what, Miss Bertie ?
I confess my inability to follow your mean
ing."
Alexouma flirted her fan in a manner
intended to be the very poetry of motion
and took un the line of defense.
"Why, the idea of you, of all men,
leaving the city and burrying yourself in
the horrid country ! What on earth n ill
you do with yourself?"
Mr. Ellis looked across the group to
Helsinger, who was vainly trying to in
terest Mrs. Eustacie Wyndham in a con
versation—pretty little widow Wyndham,
who bad her eyes on Sydney Ellis for her
deceased husband's successor.
"llelsinger, wiit do you think ? Shall
I stand it, if' I emigrate to my Wisconsin
farm ?"
"Your Wisconsin farm ! Bless my soul,
Ellis, is the Wisconsin farm all there is

left you from the wreck of your fortune ?"
Ellis laughed, as much at the horror on
Mrs. Wyndham's face, as at the ready re
ply of his friend Helsinger.
"Oh, Mr. Ellis! you never arc going
into the horrid Western wilds, because you
have actually lost everything else ? I
thought surely you meant it for a sort of
lark, you know, I supposed there was a
delightful little cottage, and a carriage and
everything romantic."
Lily parted the lace curtains and came
out at this juncture, in good time to see
the surprise and groWing coldness on Mrs.
Wyndhatu's pretty face.
Ellis looked quickly up at her, and
bowed.
"Miss Lily, add your condolence, please.
These ladies are horrified because Hel
singer has foolishly blundered over a piece
of news I hoped to have kept quiet."
A delicious flush surged over Lily's
cheeks. Somehow—,and how egregiously
foolish it was !—she felt glad Mr. Ellis
had lost all his wonderful lot of money.
"I cannot see why Mrs. Wyndham need
feel horrified. I can assure her there is
no life like country life." Then lifting
her eyes timidly to Sydney's oddly-ex,
pressive face, she added : "I think you
will be happy and contented, Mr. Ellis."
Ethelberta arose from her chair, . lan
guidly.
"Come Allie," Mrs. Wyndham said, "I
promised you a glimpse of my new Duchess
set. Mr. Helsingor, Mr. Ellis you will
excuse us."
Ladies, there is not the slightest need
of you taking such pains to manifest your
sudden lack of interest in me—or rather
your disappointment to learn that I am no
longer elligible as a wealthy bait. Pray,
Helsinger, remain and entertain the la
dies, and I will retire. Mrs. Wyndham,
Miss Grenville, Miss Ethelberta, good
night ! Miss Deane, if fortune favors me,
I hope to say good-bye to you to-morrow."
And with a dignity that would have
benefitted a duke, Ellis went away, leaving
Helsinger at the mercy of three curious
women's tongues.
The widow Wyndham sank back among
the blue cushions—she always made a
point of getting where there were lovely
azure tints to show off her petite, blonde
beauty—with an expression of the most
devout thankfulness on her pretty face.
"Oh 'Mr. Helsinger, I feel asifl never
could sufficiently thank you ! Only sup
pose I had accepted him, what ou earth
would I have dune ?"
"Indeed, Mrs. Wyndham, poor Ellis
must have grown very reticent about his
love affairs lately, fur he never hinted to
me you had refused him."
A vivid blush deepened on her face.
"Oh ! I didn't mean to say he had ac
tually offered, you know. But if he had,
and I had accepted him ?"
"Oh !"
Helsinger's monosylable was eloquent,
and somehow made the widow wonder if
he was making fun of her.
"Because, you see," Miss Etbelberta
went on, almost indignantly, - 411 Ellis
bas been so attentive to us all, and indeed,
his wealth and position made him very de
sirable. But now—"
And a peculiar toss of her head and
compression of her lips finished her remark
far better than words could have done.
"I am really sorry poor Sydney has dis
appointed you all—shall I include you,
Miss Deane?"
She turned her flushed cheeks toward
the group more bravely than she had ever
done anything in her life.
"Indeed you may not. Mr. Ellis is the
same to me now as he was when he owned
his mansion and horses and money, and a
true friend of his will esteem him none the
less.
Mrs. Wyndham tittered maliciously.
"Why, my dear, chat a beautiful dis
play of Quixotic interest. Pray du repeat
it to Mr. Ellis, Mr. Ilelsinger."
He arose.gravely.
'I shall dO so, Mrs. Wyndham, and be
ing myself the sort of friend Miss Deane
describes, I shall carry what you call
Quixotism still further—l shall select
Sydney Ellis' friends ter wine. Itidies,
good-night."
After he was gone, Alexouma turned
with a scowl to Lily still standing beside
the low ebony etegere, with the same
sweet, flushed excitement on her pure race.
"You brazen little witch ! why couldn't
you have kept your mouth shut? You
see what you have done—actually driven
Mr. Helsinger from our house !"
"I think not, Allie. If you will be
reasonable, you will see it was your own
cruelty and hollow-hcartedness that did it."
Mrs. Wyndham laughed hysterically—
she really was terribly cut up at Ellis'
sudden ineligibility.
"Cruelty !' ' 'hollow-heartedness ! Perhaps,
Miss Dcane, you would not refuse to apply
an antidote to Mr. Ellis ?"
Lily looked quietly at the vexed woman,
but made no reply, and then went to her
own room, where she was to pass the last
night of her long visit—the visit during
which she had learned so much of the
hollowness of society, so little of what was
ennobling, save and except her love for
Sydney Ellis.
- She e knew•it LOW—knew it was a con
viction strong as death—that the ill for
tune that had come to him had developed
in her what it had crushed in Eustacle
Wyndham. She admitted it, with thrills
of glad, solemn joy, and prayed God to
give her his love before she laid her bon
ny head on the pillow that night.
With the morrow he came—to bid her
"good by," as he had said the night before.
The parlors were deserted—the shrewd
women of the Greenville household took
excellent pains to keep out of the way of
the penniless man, who might have Lily
and welcome, if she were fool enough to
take him. He met the girl half way across
the floor, and took her hand warmly.
"Miss Lily, I want to thank you for
your womanly words of encouragement ;
and more—l want to tell you that you
have inspired a holier feeling than even
the highest respectful admiration. Lily,
can you not see that I love you dearly,
dearly ? Look up, little one, and tell me
lam to have you for my darling, my
wife 1"
It bad come to her at last, this love of
Sydney Ellis, and she sobbed out her own
weak confession on his breast, the happiest
girl that ever the sun shone on.
"And are you sure you will not shrink
from farm-life, my darling?"
Her eyes answered him bef)re her lips
framed the words.
"Shrink from it Oh, Sydney, I al
ways loved the country, and with you it
will be a paradise ! lam used to it, you
know, dear, and I can see to the butter,
and eggs, and poultry, and everything- I
will try to be so good, Sydney, and saving
and maybe you will get rich, some day."
"My noble, brave darling." He took

loving smile on hi 3 lips, the pride in his
eyes as he bent over her head.
"Listen, then, Lily, while I tell, you

Mrs: Wyndham never visits the Ellises,
although the is ready to expire with envy
whenever sbe meets Lily in her elegant
phaeton ; and the Greenvilles never tire of
boasting of "•the Ellises—our cousins, you

Troubles— Beecher and Bowen—Car
Elevator Accident— Another Charity
Fair—The Centennial —Business—Ru
benstein—The Weather.
THE INSULT TO BRISTOW.
A parcel of shyster politicians seem de
termined to nominate Bristow, whether or
no. The Union League Club is an aristo
cratic affair, made up entirely of republi
cans, and is supposed to represent republi
can sentiment in the city. A number of
admirers of the Secretary put up his name
for membership, expecting as a matter of
course, that a gentleman so well known and
so high, socially, politically, and in every
other way, would be accepted without a
question. In short, Bristow's becoming a
member would honor the club a thousand
times more than the club would honor him.
Now by the laws of the club, one vote in
ten adverse to a candidate, kills, and when
the ballot was taken it was found that
there were twelve black-balls—two mor
than enough to defeat him. There wa
the wildest excitement when the -result
was made known. The black-balling of
the Secretary was denounced by the oldest
and best members as an outrage, and anx
ious inquiries were made for the men who
did it, but of course they could not be
found. The matter would possess no sig
nificance, were it not for the manner in
which it was done. It was evident that
the party doing it could have commanded
fifty votes if it had been necessary, and it
is also evident that it was intended as a
stab at his presidential prospects. The
next morning in Albany as soon as it be
came known, certain politicians were talk
ing that it would be of no use to nominate
a man who could not be elected to the Un
ion League Club, showing that the pro
gramme had been arranged beforehand,
and that the black-balling was the begin
ning_of a very dirty raid upon Bristow.
The effect has not been, however,- what
the conspirators intended. The Republi
cans of New York, the best members of
the club included, are indignant at the
outrage, and there are thousands of Bris
tow men to-day where there were hun
dreds yesterday. It is only justice to Sen
ator Conklin to say that neither he nor
any of his trusted friends had anything to
do with the matter.
THE DEMOCRACY
are in a dilemma. They want Tilden, but
they see if they nominate him they lose
the West—that is, the soft-money parts of'

nominate a soft-money candidate, they are
certain to lose New York, and they can't
dodge so as to satisfy both. The business
world, Republican as well as Democratic,
want a square expression this year, and
glittering generalities will not satisfy them.

BEECHER AND BOWEN
The Beecher trouble has broken out
afresh, and this time more virulent than
ever. Bowen has knowledge, so he claims,
which will settle the whole matter. But
he will not divulge, unless he is permitted
to do it in the way that he wants to. He
says that the knowledge he has involves a
great many other people, and that he will
go before acommittee ofdisinterested men
and tell it all ; they pledging themselves to
secresy, simply making public their ver
dict as to the guilt of Beecher. This Mr.
Beecher declines. At the last meeting of
Plymouth Church there was a spicy time.
Bowen and Beecher got by the ears, the
lie was passed as sweetly as at a town-meet
ing, members were ordered to "get out,"
and the proceedings would have done no
discredit to a . nominating convention in a
Democratic ward in New York. In the
meantime Moulton is pressing his suit,
Bowen is getting ready to find some way
to get at Beecher without involving others,
and there is a prospect for a Kilkenny
fight of the hugest dimensions. How it
will all result, no one knows. But the
world wishes that it was over in one way
or another. Tilton is lecturin: , in the
West, and his wife and her mother are
keeping boarders.
THE BERGEN EXPLOSION
Last Saturday night, just as the hone 4
burghers of New York were putting on
their night-caps, after an unusually hot
evening, they were startled by a very loud
and sharp explosion, apparently in the
next block to everybody. It was louder
than any fourth of July cannon, and rang
like the crack of a rifle. People poked
their heads out of windows, concluding their
next neighbor had committed suicide, or
killed a rat with a large charge of powder,
or there was a soda fountain explosion. or
something. The latter guess, as usual.
was right. The next morning all the city
was aquiver over the explosion of the pow
der magazine on the crest of Bergen hill,
three quarters of a mile from the Hoboken
ferry, in which the contractor for the new
Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Rail
road tunnel, had stored about 30,000 ni
tro glycerine cartridges used for blasting
the tunnel, and about 300 pounds of giant
powder. This was a heavy charge, and
the effect was awful. A shock as of an
earthqake was followed by the falling of
houses, roofs, and the crashing of walls
and windows all over Jersey City and Ho
boken, reaching across the river, and felt
in New York. On the west side, shop
windows were shattered, and the gas put
out fully two miles from the explosion.
The shock was felt at Yonkers, and ten
miles away, on Staten Island, its force

shook the ground. and roiled the hip& in
the bay, which bef,re was perfectly still.
It is pretty certain that the explosion was 4
the work of strikers. who refused to work
in the tunnel for $1.25 a day. There had
been much trouble with the men previous
ly, and when Ptrikes occurred, the giant
powder was always carefully removed,
which this time, hail not yet he-n done.
Wonderfully, no lives were ? lost, and the
strikers, if ti n y committed this terrible.
deed, are spared the (Tithe, though not
the guilt, of blood guiltiness.
THE CAR ELEVATOR ACCIDENT,
It is wonderful that so little harm to
life should follow such an accident. An
other which took place on Monday night,
half a mile from the scene nf the explosion,
was more horribl e in its results. The ears
which run from the Hoboken ferry are
hoisted up the hill by a steam elevator.
saving ntarly an hour lost by going up the
grade in the old way The two fore-wheels
of the car had just passed on the platform of
the elevator, when the wires, probably
disarranged by the shock of the explosion.
gave the signal all right. the elevator be
gan to move, and the car toppled over.

from the platform, and burying others
under its bloody wreck Hardly any of
the twenty-seven passengers escaped with.

ANOTHER CHARITY FAIR.
It is really thought by the sagacious,
that the rei g n or fashionable charities is
over f .1- the season, and that no farther
appeals will be made on the pockets of
generous New Yorkers till the demand for
mid-summer excursions for the poor comes
on. The Woman's Centennial Union has
had its fill, and picked the pickers of eve
rybody, under the promise of preserving
every donors' name to be read at the next
Centennial. With true feminine persis
tence-and indiscretion, it has nagged eve
rybody impartially, the rich for their checks,
and the poor working women for their five
and ten cent pieces. The result is a gor
geous banner, at the Centennial, and a
very pretty building which does not hold
a tithe hardly of' the women's exhibits,
and is of no earthly use, except to flatter
the vanity of few women who cannot
bear .not to make themselves conspicuous,
and gave an awfully ill-looking lot of them
an excuse to parade at the Centennial
npening, arm it arm, with badges, along
with the government officials and officers
of the exhibition. St. John's Guild, not
the least deserving the charities, if not
the most so, in the city, had its tern, though
its receipts were cut short by the Centen
nial measles, as it was a necessity that the
old fairy godmothers of the exhibition
should have their banner and parade,
whether the poor people out of work in
the city had food or not. The Young Wo
men's Christian Association, a taking and
at the same time rather repelling title,
held a May fair, which was not less bril
liant than any that went before. It wa.s
held in the Academy of Music, and did a
large trade in dry-goods and ready made
clothit, as well as a thriving book and
stationery business, which, as all the stock
was given to the concern, was clear profit.
To add to the attractions, the owners of
private picture galleries loaned their pic
tures fir exhibition, and this afforded a
fine chance for the everybodies to see
paintings that are usually inscrutable to
the vulgar eye.
THE CENTENNIAL
is already beginning to be felt in New
York. The great mass of people on their
way to Philadelphia come by way of New
York, and the hotels and boardin7 houses
are beginning to look up. The opening
day in Philadelphia was an immense suc
cess, to which New York contributed quite
as much as the Quaker City. The city
was literally emptied. The trains to Phila
delphia were loaded for three days in ad
vance, and New York was well-ni!sli dr
serted. The next day the majority came
back, all, indeed, eseept those who h a il
goods to exhibit, and who propose to stay
during the exposition. The Centennial is
a great success, and I advise every one of
your readers to come and see it. Cone to
Philadelphia to see the great show, come
over to New York and see the great me
tropolis. and f,o home wiser and better
men and women. It won't happen again
fur an hundred years, and we shall none of
us have another chance. Make the trip a
cheap one. Don't attempt ;Eny style what
ever, and above all don't be ashamed to
ask questions, and look about you ail you
can. See all that is to be seen, at the low
est possible price, and my word fur it. you
will never regret the expenditure. Every
farmer and mechanic in the United States,
with their wives and daughters, ought to
come East this season, if they never do it
again.
BUSINESS
continues dull, though the merchants have
a hope that the influx of visitors to the
Centennial will enliven thin7s somewhat.
Real-estate is on the decline, and rents are
going down as rapidly as possible. There
are nothing but long faces on the street.
and the mourners are plenty. Failures
are as common as blackberries.—indeed
they have become so common that they
excite no attention whatever. To fail is a
fashi3nable thing. and has become rather
creditable than otherwise. There may be
an improvement next month, but I doubt
it I believe that New York has lost a
large per cent of its trade, and that the
city is as lame now as it will be for twenty
years to come. There are thousands of
empty stores, and tens of thousands of
empty houses, and I can't see where the
business or people to fill them are coming
from. But let us hope for the best.
R U BEN ST El N,
the Isrealite, convicted of the murder ..r
Sarah Alexander,elmmitted suicide in his
cell by starving himself to death. It is
the most curious case on record. The
food given him he deliberately and reso
lutely threw down the sewer pipe. as soon
as it was brought to him. and he kept his
resolution till he was so weak that death
was inevitable. Ills father took charge of
his dead body. and had it buried according
to the rites of the rigid Jewish church
his cursing the detective who was in
strumental in convicting Rubenstein,
was as dramatic a performance as was ever
seen. "The curse of the God of my fath
ers be on you," was his exclamation as be
stood between the corpse and the detective,
so that his dead son's face should not be
profaned by the gaze of the man who had
hunted him to death.
THE WEATII ER
is delightfully cool and pleastnt, and the
Park is crowded every afternoon with
magnificent equipages, and gaily dressed
horsemen an horsewomen. It is well
worth an hour every day to see the CAA
ion of New York on dress parade. :inn
days the poor people get there. and they
make a sight of almost equal interest.
