THE PITTSBURG- DISPATCH, SATURDAY, MARCH 15, 1890. 10 flinging himself on his knees at her feet, implore her to give him her daughter's hand. But of course such an extraordinary pro ceeding was quite out of the question. Con Tentional usage, born ot modesty, dictated that the principal should sit quietly at home, while a trusted family friend con veved the weighty petition to the beloved object' mother. Alphocse had never heard that there are cases on record in which a young Englishman has taken upon him to address the girl ol his choice herself without ever consulting the parents on either bide at all; and if he had. he would not have believed it even of Britons. The idea of doing such a thing never crossed his mind. 'You have, 1 hope, made a good break fast?' he said to M. Jules as his friend drew the napkin from his collar with a sigh of content. 'Excellent; I thank you,' replied JL Bernier. 'With your permission, I will light a cigarette, and you can inform me regarding your pecuniary position, that I bit explain it to Madame Mesnildot. Keeping caretully in mind that he had taken his lather's" consent for granted, Alphonse instructed his friend to say that his allowance when he married would be 12,000 francs per annum, and that he ex pected to inherit not less than half million of francs at his parent's death. He had nothing else to sav, except that a life's devotion would be Mademoiselle Adrieune's, and he should be glad to learn whether her dot was not to be 110,000 francs, and the furnished house on the lioulevata oaucnoise. M. Jules Bernier elevated his expressive evebrowsashe heard this. 'One hundred and fiftv thousand francs and that beautiful house burnished, parbleu! on the boule vard is much toexpect, Alphonse, my friend," he said. 'Nevertheless, you will say that, if you please,' replied Alphonse. It was a matter of business, and Alphonse was no child. 'As you wish, answered M. Bernier with a shrug, as he rose from his chair and ad justed his cravat at the mirror. It is now 1:30 o'clock. I will go to Madame Mes nildot's, and return direct to you here, at perhaps 3 o'clock.' "I ill await you in the salon, said Al phonse with dignity, and he followed his iriend to the door. "We need not dwell upon the suspense of M. Alphonse Thevinet, or upon the eager ness with which he received his ambassador when he reappeared two hours later. 'You were long gone," he said breathless ly 'But do not delay; tell me Madame Mesnildot's reply.' 'Her reply,' answered M. Bernier, with the smile of "one who loves to bring good news, 'is, Yes. She assured me that Made moiselle would be overwhelmed with grati tude for her good fortune, and that her dot would not be less than 100,000f.' 'And the furnished house?' queried Al phonse. 'Madame said nothing of the house,' an swered M. Bernier, M. Bernier had done this kind of office be ore, and knew better than to drive bargains at the first interview. A cloud gathered upon the brow of Al phonse. He had persuaded himself that M. and Madame Mesnildot would have prom ised all be chose to ask, and he had de manded thus much, that he might make as surance doubly sure when he came to re quest his father's permission to marry Made moiselle Adrienne. He was disappointed. 'A hundred thousand is a small dot for Monsieur Mesnildot to give his only daugh ter,' be said. 'I wonld counsel you to let that side of the matter remain for settlement between Monsieur, your father and the parents of Mademoiselle," replied M. Bernier. 'When does Monsieur Thevinet return to Rouen ?" Alphonse could not tell for certain. He was traveling in the country near Bordeaux, and had no fixed address at present; but he expected him to return at the end of the month. 'Well, I will offer yon my congratula tions, and take my leave for to-day,' said M. Bernier. 'It has given me great pleas ure to have had the honor of conveying your message to Madame Mesnildot.' Alphonse hastened to express his grati tude lor the service his Iriend had done him; the indebtedness, he said with sincer ity, was all on his side. Without Jules, he had been quite at a loss to address Madame Mesnildot; thanks could not repay M. Bernier for what he had that day per formed. He kissed Jules upon both cheeks as he bade him adieu, and having seen him depart, threw himself into a chair to dream of Mademoi selle Adrienne. Two weeks later, M. Georges Thevinet returned home from his travels, and was re ceived with effusion by son. 'I have news for thee, Alphonse,' said the old gentleman as they entered the salon arm-in-arm. 'And I for thee, also,' replied his son. -But first of all, give me yours.' M. Georges Thevinet beamed upon Al phonse with paternal pride as he answered in impressive tones: 'I have found for my on a wife. I promised my friend Monsieur Laguerre that you shall espouse his daugh ter, Mademoiselle Clarisse.' 'Mademoiselle Clarissel' exclaimed Al phonse. 'Sir, she is 40. 'She is but SS,' replied his father in cor rection. 'She has a sqint,' said the son. 'She has 750.000 francs,' said the father, fixing upon Alphonse a look in which affec tion and cupidity were happily blended. 'It matters nothing, cried Alphonse; 'for I love another. 'Eh! What's that?' inquired old M. Thevinet, who was a little hard of hearing. 'But two weeks since, I received Madame Mesnildot's sanction to marry Mademoiselle Adrienne.' 'Then you must write and apol ogise for vour mistake. I have already told you that you are affianced to Mademoiselle Clarisse La guerre," replied M. Thevinet firmly. Ueverl' cried Alphonse with a gesture ot despair. 'But you are. I absolutely refuse to sanction your marriage to any one else. Mademoiselle Mesnildot will not receive one-third mark me, boyl not one-third of the dot with which Monsieur Laguerre will endow his daughter.' 'I care nothing for the dot,' cried Al phonse wildly. ('Thebovis mad!' muttered M. Thevinet, senior.) 'I will marry no ouo butAdricnne,A-dri-enne." And at this point the -eelings ot Alphonse overcame him and he sobbed. Coercion, diplomacy and persuasion were tried by M. Thevinet in turn with barren results; and finally there ensued a quarrel so violent that Alphonse packed up his portmanteau and left the house. 'To think: of the boy's contracting a matri monial engagement without a word to me 1' said M. Thevinet to himself as he retired that night. 'What on earth can have got into his head? What is the world coming to?' 'To think of my father giving away my hand like thatl' said Alphonse as he strode down the Boulevard. 'I might as well be a Turkish slave at once!' Fortunately, Alphonse had plenty of money in his pocket, and he had soon in stalled himself in pleasant lodgings in the Boulevard Jeanne d'Arc 'It is indeed luckv,' he said to himself as he unpacked his clothes, that 1 am over -a vears ot age. Were I but a few years younger, the course I must pursue, repugnant as it is to my filial leelings, would be closed to me.' Alphonse bad already decided to take such steps us would render his marriage without his father's consent a legal union, though he shrank fron the process, and cha.ed at the delay it would entail. Had he been under the age of 25, his lather's re fusal would have bound him hopelessly, ac cording to law. The proces-verbal is a legal weapon denied young men below that 3ge. But Alphonse, as we have already re marked, was 28, and he knew the power the law con erred upon him. I wish I had been an Englishman.' he said to M. Jules Bernier one evening a week later at the cafe. Why so?' asked M. Bernier. 'Could I not then marry Adrienne at once without my father's consent?' asked Al phonse. 'Certainly you might," replied M. Ber nier. 'But were you an Englishmao you would have other things to consider, my friend. The lady might decline to marry vou; and Monsieur your father might exer cise the brutal privilege of an Englishman, and "cut vou off with a shilling." No, no, Alphonse"; he thankful that you are a citi zen of the Republic' But Alphouse did not feel thankful or pretend to be so; he said in meaning tones: 'I yesterday took the first step.' 'You do not mean to s ay' . The rest of M. Bernier's speech was spoken in an awe-struck whisper. Alphonse pressed his lips together and answered: 'I did.' It was true. On the morning of the previous day a gentle man " who pursued an honorable calling analogous to that ot sheriff-officer, had waited upon M. Georges Thevinet with a document of portentous size in his hand, and demanded audience of that gentleman in the name of the law. 'What have you there?' M. Thevinet in quired of this official as he produced his paper. 'It is the proces-verbal, Monsieur. On be half of your son, Monsieur Alphonse The vinet, do you consent to his marriage with Mademoiselle Adrienne Mesnildot?' 'Ho, I don't!" replied M. Thevinet with much asperity. The legal gentleman requested that he might be furnished with a pen; and having received it, wrote down M. Thevinet's an swer with great care upon the document. 'I have the honor to bid you respectfully adieu, Monsieur,' he said, as he rolled up the paperand put it under his arm. 'Itwill be my duty to call upon you once more in i. month s time. 1 iear you will have the trouble ot calling also a third time,' slid M. Thevinet, forcing himselt to be calm. 'Is it not so?' The polite official shrugged his shoulders in deprecation. 'If Monsieur did not give his valued consent the second time the proces verbal was presented," he said, 'doubt less it would be the wish ot M. Alphonse to have it presented two months hence for the third time." 'And then?' inquired M. Thevinet, who knew all about it, but was anxious for fuel to feed his wrath. 'Why, then, if Monsieur withheld his permission on being asked a third time, M. Alphonse would be legally able to marry without.' The polite official made a pro found bow and hastily withdrew. M. Thevinet's anger hadmastered him. and he appeared about to vent it upon his visitor. Had M. Thevinet been an Englishman with an Englishman's power over his own property, he would most inevitably have seut for his solicitor and altered his will that day. But he could not; a French parent's estate is, irrespective of his wishes, divided by the law among Ins children or heirs at his demise; so M. Thevinet could not enjoy the remote satisfaction. However, he did the next best thing. He wrote to Alphonse, and told him that until he re turned to his roof, penitent and prepared to marry Mademoiselle Laguerre, he should give "him only the baiest pittance upon which to exist.' If you think,' wrote the indig nant father, 'thatMonsierand Madame Mes nildot will accept a penniless suitor for their daughter, the legal steps you have taken to set the necessity lor obtaining my consent aside, will have served their end. But I doubt whether in your new position you will receive the welcome which they accorded your representative, M. Bernier. I should advise you to think this over at your leis ure.' When Alphonse received this letter, he recognized the weakness of his case, and proposed a compromise. If his father would not call upon him to many Mademoiselle Laguerre lor three ypars, he on his part would renounce his intention of marrying Mademoiselle Mesnildot. Would M. The vinet receive his sorrowing son upon these terms? The language in which the old gentleman indulged when his son's answer reached him was dread "ul to hear. He would agree to no conditions whatever, and Alphouse might take his choice Madamoiselle Clarisse, or poverty in solitude until the end of his lather's lifetime. He wrote at once direct ing his son to choose, reminding him that this was the sole favor he had ever as ted in return for all he had done lor him. It was a powerful and pathetic letter; the heart of Alphonse was touched by it, and he gave way. After a bitter struggle with self, he made up his mind to obey his lather; lie sent the sheriff-officer his fee, and directed him not to serve the proces-verbal again; re packed his portmanteau, and went home in a cab. How old M. Thevinet called upon Ma dame Mesnildot and explained that M. Jules Bernier's visit had been paid under a misapprehension; and how Madame Mesnil dot said she was lorry, but that it didu't matter, because she had not mentioned the subject to Adrienne yet, it boots not to tell. We have only to conclude the his tory of the wooing of Alphonse by the bare statement that his father took him down to Bordeaux a month afterward, stood over him while he agreed to the promesse de mariage which Monsieur le Kolaire had prepared and saw him espouse Mademoiselle Clarisse Laguerre at the bureau of Monsieur le Maire. Mademoiselle Clarisse promises to be a model wife iu all respects, and every body is contented and happy. K0 BALM L GILEAD. The Wail of the Allegheny Comity Farmer Not Loud, but Deep.

The peach buds arc as dead as Adam, and so are the buds of most flowering shrubs, and there may be an absence of the "flowers of May." Some farmers in the oil districts who have not leased or a big bonus are in despair. They have neglected their farms on account of the oil excitement, and expected during the winter to put their teams at profitable work hauling oil well supplies, but the roads have been impassa ble, so they hate neither crops nor money. Last season's big hay crop is almost worthless, they say. Hay is so cheap and the roads are so bad that they cannot even make wages hauling the hay to market, and they say it will not pay to bny stock and feed it. It might, however, pay them to feed their crops and enrich tlieir farms. The return might not be immediate, but it would come in time.

The Great Work Performed for Mr. Frederick Raetz. HIS TESTIMONY GIVEN IN FULL "Two years is a long time to suffer from a trouble and not ue able to obtain a rem edy to check its progress. That was my case exactly," said Mr. Frederick Raetz. "My trouble commenced with a cold at first, caused by exposure at my work. Cold fol lowed cold. My head ached constantly, and my nose discharged a thin, acrid fluid. "I remained iu this condition for some time, then I noticed that the trouble was extending through my whole system. My eves were weak and watery. I could feel the mucus dropping into my throat. There were constant buzzing and roaring noises in my ears. Mr. Frederick Itaetz, US Spring Garden Avenue, " "I could not sleep at night. The muens wonld fill up my throat, and I would have to sjt un and hawk and raise in order to obtain relief. Kight sweats set iu and weakened me tern lily. Such nights as these left me entirely unfit for work. I would arise in the morning feeling nnrefreshed, in fact more tired than when! went to bed. My throat was so inflamed and sore thatl could not eat anything in the mornings. I had no desire for lood; the very sight ot it caused a nausea at ray stomach. "Sharp pirns wonld shoot through my chest, stabbing like a knife, often so severe as to cause me to gasp for breath. There was a feel ing in mvstomach asofaheavy weight pressing down. My heart woold beat rapidly. The palpitation wonld be followed by a slow, irreg ular beating and a feeling of faintness. I grew weaker and weaker. 'Hie. slightest exertion would make me short of breath. When I would stoop over and raiso up qnickly 1 would become dizzv, and was often compelled to sit down until this feeling nassed away. "My body was racked with aches and pains, and 1 despaired of ever getting well. I bad read with interest of the wonderful success Drs. Copeland & Blair were baving with cases tun liar to mine, and decided there was the place for me to go. I foundtheir charges lower than the prices of patent medicine, and placed myself nuder their care. "Jly progress was truly marvelous, and I can not say enongh in favor of their treatment. My head is now clear, and no longer aches me. The roaring in my ears, dropping in the throat and pains in my chest haro all ceased to bother me. 1 sleep well and can eat a liaarty break fast. I am now feeling as well as I ever was, and owo this change to Drs. Copeland 4 Blair." Mr. Itaetz lives at No. 118 Spring Garden avenue. Allegheny. He is employed as a glass blower at the works of Messrs. J. T. & A. Hamilton, Twenty-sixth and Railroad streets, Pittsburg, and this statement can bo easily verified. HOME TREATMENT. Mr. William Barnes, of Hickman, Pa., in speaking of his catarrhal troub'.e, said: My head was stopped up. My throat, chest and lungs affected, and I had lost all sense of taste and miil'11, when I was advised to try Drs. Cope land & Blair. The result was a surprise to me. 1 ?ra now perfectly well, and owe my recovery to their treatment. Some time ago Mr. Harry Phillips, ot Hulton, Allegheny county, Pa commenced a course of home treatment for his catarrhal trouble, un der the care of Drs. Copeland & Blair. At that time his trouble bad assumed a very aggravated form. He stated to the writer as follows: ".My nostrils would clog up. My head ached constantly. I had severe pains in my chest. Theiewas a dropping of mucus from my head to my throat. I had night sweats. My heart would palpitate rapidly, and be followed by a slow, irregular beating and feeling of faintness. I was daily growing weaker. The slightest ex ertion tired me and I was unfit for w ork." "How do you feel now T" "Like another being.
