Mr. William O'Brien has gone to Havre to meet John Dillon, and the wearisome conference business will be resumtd. Every well wisher of Ireland is anxious to have the question of Parnell's retirement settled be fore the reassembling of Parliament next Thursday, in order to avoid the scandalous sight of two antagonistic Irish parties sitting and wrangling in the same House. Among the points still awaiting settlement is that relating to the disposal ot certain United Stales bonds purchased by the late Mr. Big gar, a; treasurer of the evicted tenants' fund. Previous to the disruption, Parnell had arranged to hand the bonds to Dillon, who was then arranging his American tour. But delTS occurred, and now the bankers, hav ing been threatened with lawsuits from both sides, refuse to part with the bonds to any body. Much mystery has been maintained respecting this Paris !und. Interesting Letters Made Public. Thcfollowiug correspondence, never previ ously published, will show, however, how matters Ftocd on the eve of the disastrous divorce action.

When provided witb usual documents, we sball be prepared to undertake the application through tbe legal advisers of our New York house. We remain, dear air, very truly yours, MtJNBOE & CO. This communication did not reach Par sell's hands for nearly a week, owing to his absence fiim London. But on the 30th of September Dillon received the following letter: House of Commons. Sept. E9. Dear Mr. Dillon I have been requested by Jlr. Parnell to hand vou tbo enclosed letter from Messrs. Munroe & Co., and to inform yon thit the bonds being registered, they cannot turn oer tbe cash except on advice of their solicitors. Mr. Parnell therefore thinks that this matter Mill have to lie dealt with tnrouch Mr. Biggar'6 trustees and executors. I am yours faithfully, , H. Campbell. Each Side After the Money. It is well known that Mr. Biggar's trustees and executors are Bichard Power, Parnell ite, and Patrick Power, now anti-Parneilite. They talked over matters, and got so far as to nominate John Dillon, J. F. X. O'Brien acd J. Clancy as trustees to receive the bonds and other securities and cash, valued at 542,500, in Messrs. Munroe's hands when the crash came. Etch side is naturally anxious to obtain the money, but there is obviously room for compromise. Meanwhile, the evicted tenants are being kept alive by charity, supplemented in a few cases by a small dole from "William O'Brien. To-day tbe evicted tenants in distress of Bkibbereen and Bchull, County Cork, were informed by the local leaders that no money was available for distribu tion, as the campaign checks had been dis honored bv the bankers. Balfour has now received 30,000 in response to his appeal. Seme Liberals, including Gladstone and Earl Spencer, have contributed to the fund on the ground that the Chief Secretaryav ing pledged his word for the relief of the distress, it was the duty of the oharitable to overlook the origin and ultimate intention ol the appeal. Decline to Help Balfour. But most Liberals have declined to help Balfour in a scheme by which Dublin Cas tle is to be the universal almoner in Ireland. Balfour has declared that not a single penny shall be given to able-bodied men, for whom, he says, his relief railroad will find work. How that work is being given in some dis tricts was told to-day by Fattier O'Connor, of Achill, at a meeting of the Westport Board of Guardians. The reverend gentle man said: "Up to the present time we have had little or no employment for these poor people. Sometimes they will go ten miles, traveling all night until daylight in the morning, and after traveling that distance they are knocked about and get no work. That is the way our 4,000 able-bodied people, the most distressed this day under heaven, are treated, and the few who are employed are the richest men of the island. They give wort to men who have 20 or 30 cattle grating on the grass farms, and not to the poor men who have not a single iour-footed beast in the world. There are 300 families starving now, snd the clerks on the railway refuse to tell even the police how many men they have employed. Sometime they have only 50 men employed; sometimes they have 400. They are dismissing them every min ute, giving them a one-quarter day, crhalf day, after traveling 20 miles." ITEW JOURNALISTIC VEKTUBE.

BIG COLLIERY STRIKE THREATENED FOB THIS WEEK IH AH) OF SCOTCH 6TBIKEBS. The Railway Trouble Not Yet OTer A Fresh Lease of Ufa for the Strikers Plenty of Money on Hand to Support Them. IBT CABLX TO THX DISPATCH.! London, Jan. 17. It is estimated that the railway strike in Scotland has cost the parties more or less directly concerned 250,000, of which 100,000 is accounted for by decreased traffic receipts. The real struggle bas from the first been on the North British road, and the men claim that there they are practically in a position as satisfactory as upon the first day of the strike. In regard to the Caledonian and Glasgow Southwestern roads, it seemed last week as though the strike had failed; but to-day there is some ground for hope that many" of the men on those lines may be in dnced tocomeuufagalci Roughly speaking, 2,000 men seceded from the strike, but they were mostly weak-kneed brethren, and the 6,000 or more remaining out are nearly all stalwarts. The majority of the deserters returned to work because they could see no prospect of support from the outside. But since then help has been given in generous measure, and at the press ent moment the strike fund unspent amount to 14,000. The trades union awakening, which commenced last week, is now com plete. It has been tardily realized that the question at issue in Scotland is as much the recognition of unionism as a reduction of the working hours, and the conviction has spread, all over England that the Scotch railway directors must not be allowed to win. To-morrow, organized trade demonstra tions in support of the Scotch strikers will be held in nearly every large town in England, and collections will be made, which, it is hoped, will amount in the ag gregate to 10,000. At this moment the labor leaders have under discussion a com prehensive scheme for cutting off the supply of fuel to the Scotch railways, and lor more effectually preventing the companies obtain ing 'labor in England. The coming week, will therefore, in all probability, witness a big colliery strike, accompanied by troubles on English rail ways. The reports of riots and outrages in connection with the strike have been grossly exaggerated, tbe fnct being that the strikers have behaved on the whole with com mendable moderation in the face of con siderable provocation. BEDFORD'S ENOHKOUS WEALTH. The Dead Sake Left An Estate Valued at Ten Million Pounds. 1ST CABLE TO THE DIsrATCR.1 London, Jan. 17. The Duke of Bed ford, whose remains have just been cre mated, was one of the richest peers in England. He held 118 -acres in London alone, on which were built 2,912 houses, for which enormous rents are paid. His estates in the middle and west of England are al most as valuable, the royalties derivable from the mines on his property being very great, though not so high as 25 years ago. Covent Garden Theater and Drury Lane Theater are built on his land. He obtained a dukedom In 1872 by the death of his cousin. Irosn whom, in addition to the estates, he inherited about 6,000,000. It is estimated that he left about 10,000,000 for the benefit ot his heir, who, as! Marquis oi Tavistock, has long been noted as a man who never said a wise thins performed any notable action. The late Duke had a aort of mania for Eulling down houses. Four Tears ago he ought Battiesdeen Park estate'for 150,000, and his first care was to pull down a beauti ful house upon it, which Jiad cost 60,000 oulv a few years previously. On the other hand, he built a so-called cottage near Tavi stock at a cost of 80,000. It stands in the midst of the Duke of Endsleigh'a estate, in tbe park and grounds of which there are 60 miles of waits and drives. TEE0WN OUT OF C0UBT. A Load of Dust Figures In st Peculiar X-egal Suit. BT CABLE TO TBB DISFATCB.1 London, Jan. 17. According to the London parochial law tbe vestries are com pelled to remove household refuse, but may decline to take away, except at the owner's expense, trifles which do not come under Bumbledom's heading of domestic dust. The scavengers raised this point at the Lyrio Theater, objecting that rotten oranges, torn programmes, dilapidated scenery and shreds of muslin were hot the refuse of ordinary houses. The old manager of the theater and the foreman of the scavengers argued the question with warmth, but without result, and finally ad journed to the magistrate, the theatrical man emptying his dust pall into a wagon and driving the load down to the court, for the judge's Inspection. " The magistrate emphatically declined to pick over the dust heap, and ordered them to get out with the dnst and settle things among themselves. DESERTED HIS POST, AIT EKGLISH 8ETTTBY WHfJ WOULDS'T BE FROZEN TO DEATH He Skips Oat, leaving the British Treasury and Foreign Office Completely Unde fended Returning His Uniform With a Follto Request The Deserter Still Missing. rBT CABLX TO THX DISPATCH. London, Jan. 17. If in these constitu tional days there remain any Irishmen with a hankering after dynamite, they may pro ceed to weep over a lost opportunity. For more than a couple of hours last Thursday night, all Downing street, witb the Treasury and Foreign OffiOe, was without its accus tomed military protection, thanks to the hasty, not to say treasonable, action of Pri vate Josiah Jones, of the Guards. That warrior went on "sentry go" Thursday evening, and it was his duty to keep a vigilant lookout for dyna miters, burglars and other objectionable persons. The weather was of Arctic sever ity, and the warmest part of the guards man's uniform was his bearskin headgear. It was clearly Private Josiah Jones' duty to freeze to death rather than desert his post. Jones, however, seems to have ar gued that his contract with Queen Yictoria did not include sentry duty at the North Pole, or something nearly equivalent to it. He told-a-passing policeman shortly after midnight that "he would be blamed if he would stand It mnch longer," and when the policeman looked back from the White hall end of the street he saw Private Jones climb over the railings into the park. Such an event as tbe desertion of a sentry on duty being unprecedented, and, consequently not provided for in police regulations, the policeman held his peace and went on his way. When the officer of the guard went his rounds two hours later, he found a rifle and an ammunition pouch iu the sentry box, but Josiah Jones was missing, and is so to this moment. To-day the erring man sent a parcel, containing his uniform, with a, not over-polite note, to the effect that the war authorities might find someone else to freeze in them. The object ot sending back the clothes was to avoid prosecution for stealing them, a charge which is always in cluded in the indictment against a deserter. But for all that Josiah Jones is not likely to escape with less punishment thah five years penal servitude should he be caught. The shock of the discovery of an empty sentry box would have been almost the death of a nervous statesman liko Sir Will iam Harcourt, who, when he lived in Downing street, during Gladstone's last ad ministration, had the street and house guarded with detectives and never stirred out without an armed escort. CHAHBEBLAIH HOCKED. Hissed and Jeered at In His. Own Town of Birmingham. CBT CABLE TO TUB DISPATCH. London, Jan. 17. Joseph C. Chamber lain bas been bissedjand mocked at in hisown town of Birmingham, and at a carefully se lected ticket meeting. His friends declare that the sinners were Gladstonians, who ob tained entrance to the meeting by forged tickets. But Chamberlain well-knows that they were Tories, who had been invited to listen to the soothings and flatteries of tbe man who, tbey charge, has swindled them out of their fair share of local Parliamen tary representation. The incident may appear trifling) but here it is well known to be proof that, de spite the recent trnce brought about by the intercession of Lords Salisbury and Har rington, the Tories in Birmingham still hate and desnise Chamberlain, and will not vote for him or his nominees at the next election. This feeling is naturally justifi able and is worthy of every encouragement by good Home Bnlers, because ita existence will give Mr. Gladstone several seats in Birmingham and elsewhere.

Dr. Lunn, who is understood to be a very great man in the Wesleyan Church in this country, and who ekes out bis modest ministerial stipend by writing a weekly letter for tbe newspapers, in collaboration with W. T. Stead, publicly complains that "the Secretary of the We3leyan Conference has not thought it beneath his dignity toaccept an honorary degree of doctor of divinity from two of the universities of the Southern States of America." Dr. Lunn thinks this is an unfortunate omen for the autumn, when about 100 Methodist ministers will visit America to attend the Ecumenical Conference, as about half of them will return decorated with LL. D. and D. D. It is becoming somewhat fashionable here to sneer at American de grees, but no one has yet been found who has refused one when offered it.

Lire' G a llhet, xxsa 10 ami 12 DixtlnttiiV RESUME 0FTHE WEEK. Why the Queen Regnant ol Holland Must Ho Addressed as King. THE SEQUOIA NATIONAL PARK. A Pittsburg Gams of Chess With Living Beings as tho Pieces. MISS ELAINE Q00DALE AS A PRODIGY IWIUTTEX FOB TUB DISFATCH.I A cablegram to Tub Dispatch during the past week contained the following: "Americans who will have business with the Court of Holland may be interested to learn that the little girl who is nominal ruler oi that country mustbeaddres3ed as King not as Queen Wilhel mina. This is official." From the above it is very evident that the Netherland er; have the re- "King" mihelmtna. puguance of the Hungarians to a woman sovereign. The latter people first applied the title of "King" to Mary, daughter of Louis the Great, of Poland, when she ascended the throne of Hungary in 1382. Ever since female po tentates of that country have been termed "Kings," and now, on the accession of its first female sovereign, Holland follows the same custom. There is really no difference in "King" Wilhelmina's powers', as accord ing to the laws of her country she is a Queen-regnant, which gives her the same authority as a King, A Queen-regnant is vested with the same powers, prerogatives and dignities of an absolute King ever since Queen Mary, of England, declared: "That theregall power of tho realme is in the queene's majestie as fully and absolutely as over it was in any of her most noble pro genitours, kiuges of this realme." Under these conditions if "King" W'il hclmiua ever marries, her husband will be her subject, and she is the only woman of the kingdom who is in her own right en titled to bear the heraldic arms of her house in a shield, instead of a lozenge. The term "king" applied to a female may sound some what peculiar, but it is absolutely correct orthographically if; we accept the definition of the word literally, whioh is "the person vested with supreme power in a State." A London society note states that a great game of chess was played at Boyal Concert Hall on two evenings of the past week, at which the pieces were represented by living people, some of whom belonged to the ex tremely "upper ten," no less than half a dozen lords and ladies being included. The costumes were modeled on those of the Tudor period and are said to have been mag nificent. Now, there's an idea for Pittsburg. Even if it is not exactly new. it would be here, and our socictv folk would find in it a happy medium of enjoyment to not only the play ers, but many others. One ot our first-class halls could be secured; the board laid out on the floor, and, to make the affair still more unique, those mighty mouarchs of the chess-world, Steinitz and Gunsberg, who nre.both in this country at present, might be prevailed upon to come here and by taking,; each a side, give the piay me nature oi an out-ana-out contest The recent passage of an act by Con gress, reserving 1,500,000 acres of land in California in which grow the gi gantic redwood trees known as the se quoia gigantea for a park,has drawn at tention to these won derful botanical growths. They are embraced in a belt of land on the western flank of the Sierra Nevada, from the Calaveras groves on the north to the head of Deer creek on the south, a distance of nearly 200 miles. In this section are to be found the finest tree growths known in tbv world. Here is tbe Douglass spruce, with warm yellow green, plume-like foliage; two kinds of silver firs that tower to heights of more than 200 feet, with branches pinnated like ferns and whorl ed around the trnnk in regular collars. ?-a, Jl Sequoia Monarch. like the leaves of lilies; alio yellow pine, with its arrowy spires of verdure, and its relative, the stately sugar pine. ,But the finest of all is tbe sequoia gigantea. The average height of these trees is about 275 feet, few falling below this, while many range above 300 feet, or about the height of nur Court House tower. The loliage of a sequoia sipliug of 500 or 600 years' growth is d irk bluiih-sreen in color, while, the older trees frequently ripen to a warm yel low tint The bark is cinnamon brown, purpled in the younger and in shady por tions of the old. Then in winter the trees break forth in universal bloom; myriads of small four-sided conelets crowd the ends of the slender sprays, coloring the whole tree and when ripe, dusting all the air and the ground with golden pollen. In these pods untold uiillions ot seeds are ripened annu ally, and, according to one investigator, the product of the smaller northern groves would in a fruitful year suffice to plant all the mountain ranges of the globe. As most readers are perhaps aware, there was quite a controversy over the naming of the new park. Lafayette H. Bunnell, of Homer, Minn., and E. M. Johnson, of the Century magazine, suggested that it be named "Wa-ha-we-nah," because the trees are so called by the Indians of the locality. Secretary Noble maintained, however, that it should be derived from the scientific name of the magnificent trees, for the preservation ot which the act of Congress was framed. There fore, it will be ' known hereafter to geography as the Seqnoia National Park. The name Se t quoia was given ' by Endlicher, the famous bot anist, in honor of Sequoyah, the Cherokee Indian half breed who in Tented tbe al Eeguoyah, the Cherokee. phabets bis language and printed books therefrom in 1828. Once xnore the famous Borgbese art treasures 'are to be sold. The head of ' the house becoming impoverished, it is rendered necessary that he recuperate his finances in this manner. It is singular that these Italian princes cannot keep their heads above water in a monetary sense, although none knew better how to do so than their progenitors, (This same collection, or-thi mm VM ILiVwL body of It, was sold once before in the early part of the centnry for the same purpose. Napoleon Bonaparte, then at the height of his power, was the purchaser, something lUe 13,000,000 francs being the price paid, part of which oonsisted of the Piedmontese domains. When the latter were reclaimed Camille Filipo Ludovico, the than Borghese Prince, received back some of bis works of art This collection is one of the- finest in the world, being particularly rich in gems of ancient art It was founded by Pope Paul V., who first gave the family prominence, while a subsequent marriage into the house of Aldobrandiui, added wealth which en abled them to maintain and foster tbegreat art gallery. Regarding the coming sale, it may bo said that the conditions being so much different from those governing the first, this last one will no doubt definitely disperse the celebrated collection. Soft on the snnset sky " Bright daylight closes. Leaving when light doth die Pale hues that mingling lie Ashes of rosesl When love's warm sun Is set. Love's brightness closes; Eyes with hot tears are wet. In hearts there linger yet Ashes ot rosesl In the year 1878, a book called "Apple Blossoms" startled the literary world as the joint production of remarkable little girls, aged 14 and 12 years respective ly. They were named Elaine and Dora Bead Good ale, daughters of a gentleman farmer in the Berkshire Hills. Both were looked upon as ver itable prodigies, an opinion for which there was good ground, wlun it is Slain Goodale at U years. taken into consideration that the specimen of poetry given above was written by Elaine, the eldest, when but 10 vears of age. A bright future was phrophesied both, but, aside from a few newspaper and magazine prodqetions, neither have been much heard from since, until within a few days ago. The eldest now comes into prominence again in a report from Washington that she is to marry a fall-blooded Sioux Indian, named Eastman, a graduate of Dartmouth College, who is now at the famouse Pine Biver Agency. Miss Goodale has been teaching a Government school at White Biver Camp for several years past A letter from her concerning the battle of Wounded Knee ap peared in The Dispatch yesterday. Another indication that the European powers smell war from afar is observed in tbe recent determination on the part of tbe German Government to make the city of Breslau a fortress. Those who habitually sneer at the idea ot another great European conflict must admit that in the transforma tion of the second city of Prussia into an out and out fortification, an operation that will cost many millions of dollars, there is an evident anticipation of a coming contest Breslau is admirably situated for such a purpose, at the confluence of the rivers O hlau and Oder, and close to the Busslan border, from which direction it is thought tbe most likely danger threatens Germany. If, as some will have us believe, most of our terrestrial phenomena are directly at tributable to sun spots, there must be a curious lot of the latter at present freckling the erst while fair face of our fountain of light, particularly those that ore filling tbe minds of the savages o f earth with such strange hallucinations that tbey are veritable lunatics. It seems that the uprising of Indians of this country is having its counterpart at many places on the globe. Within the last ten days reports of sav age doings have come to ns from the Caroline Islands and Central Africa, and now it is stated that the head-hunting tribes of New Guinea are no and J. Head-Hunter'a Trophy, at their awful work. We in the United States are apt to consider a ghost dance a barbarous thing, but how would an exchango of dancers for head hunters go? No reason is given for the trouble in New Guinea, but it is likely that tbe wave of fanaticism which every now aud then seizes savage races, and for which no satisfactory reason can be given, has manifested itself there. Usually head-hunting takes place among those tribes addicted to it when a chieftain dies, for which occasion skulls are necessary for mortuary ornaments, or, as among some peoples on each occasion of a christening, niai riage or burial. This adjunct to the ceremony is so imperative that it can be absolutely relied on that each household will contain one or more of these trophies, hung from the ratters, as shown in the ac companying cut This practice is nothing more or less than a substitute for the scalp hunting of our Indians. When' a skull is taken it is first pickled, the eye sockets filled with cowry shells an,d the ears with tufts of grass. This finished tbey are hung in the skullhouse, a sort ot Pantheon for such treasures, or, if personal possessions, they are taken to the dwelling of tho owner to be shown on festive occasions. Prof. Nordenskiold, the celebrated Swed ish exp!orer,has written a very sarcastio letter to the Geographi cal Society of Paris, auent his proposed expedi tion to the Ant arctic regions. He intimates that men of science have a great deal to say about such mat ters in the seclu sion of academies, etc., but when it comes to actions tbey always find any number of in surmountable dif- JProf. Nordentkiold faculties. The famous explorer says that some of the most important results of Arc tic discovery will be without value and many questions of physical phenomena, particularly in geology and natural history, will remain unsolved until corresponding observations and collections are made in the Antarctic regions. The King of Sweden and Baron Os'car Dickson, the latter a well known patron of polar exploration, are deeply interested in the matter and will con tribute largely to the expedition. The affair could not well be in better hands than Nor denskiolk's. He has made a number of suc cessful and scientifically valuable expedi tions to the Northern polar country, and is tbe only man, living or dead, so tar as is known, who has successfully made the northeast passage. Nordenskiold says the expedition will not leave Sweden before 1892, and perhaps not before 1893. FOB CONSTIPATION Use Honford'a Acid Phosphate. Dr. J. B. Fortson, Kiowa, Iod.

The Society of Sous of Pennsylvania, of this city, has just com pleted preparations for a banquet and re union to be held at the Palmer House, Fri day, the 23d instant Nearly 600 invitations have been sent out to former Pennsylvanians residing in Chicago and vicinity, and the responses indicate that the attendance will be very large. Distinguished citizens of the Keystone State have been asked to participate, 'and several have signified their intention of being present, while others have responded by sending checks running all the way from $5 to$100, the aggregate amoant of which is so large as to assure the success of the banquet beyond a doubt A Very Novel Display. F. J. Patterson, who is chairman of the committee in charge of the banquet, re ported at a meeting held last night that an elaborate floral and electrical display would be one of the features of the occasion. The tables will be arranged in the form of an arch, at one of which, forming the keystone, the speakers of the evening will be seated. The stones oi the arch will be outlined with flowers lighted up with incandescent lights, and to still further provide for the enjoyment of the evening Hand's superb orchestra has been engaged. It was the intention to send a committee to Pittsburg to secure the attendance of rep resentative men of that city, but that detail was left unprovided for until it was too late, and the invitations have been sent by mail instead. The projectors of the ban quet have in view not only the enjoyment of the evening, but also the formation of A Pennsylvania Club in Chicago, at which Pennsylvania people in Chicago shall get to know each other, and which shall serve as a visiting place for residents of that State while in Chicago. A subscription paper has been started and with very gratifying results, but the success of the club is thus far by no means cer tain. At a recent meeting of the Sons of Penn sylvania, the Pennsylvania World's Fair Committee were elected to honorary mem bership, as were also Governor-elect Patti son and Governor Beaver. It is -expected that the entire Committee will attend the banquet Governor Beaver will also be present and possibly Governor-elect Pattl son, if he can arrange to leave Harrisburg at that time.

W .KITTEN TOR THE DISPATCH BY P. MABION CRAWFORD, Author of "Mr. Isaacs," "Br. Claudius," "A Boman Singer," and Many Other Stories That Have Taken Bank as Standard Literature. CHAPTER L GBEAT multitude of people filled the church, crowded to gether in the old black pews, standing closely thronged in the nave and aisles, pressing shoulder to shoulder, even in the two chapels on tbe right and left of the apse, a vast gather ing of pale men and women, whose eyes were sad and in whose faces was written the history .of their nation. The mighty shafts and pilasters of the Gothic edifice rose like the stems of giant trees in a primeval forest from a dusky undergrowth, spreading out and uniting their siony branches far above in the upper gloom. From the- clerestory windows of the nave an uncertain light de scended half way to the depths and seemed to float upon the darkness below as oil upon the water of a well. Over the western entrance, the huge fan tastic organ bristled with blackened pipes and dusty gilded ornaments of colossal size, like some enormous kingly crown long for- gotten in the lumber room of tbe universe, tarnished and overlaid with the dust of ages. Eastward, before the rail which separated the high altar from the people, wax torches, so thick that a mau might not span one of them with both his hands, were set up at irregular .intervals, some taller, some shorter, burning with steady, golden flames, each one surrounded with heavy funeral wreaths and each haying a tablet below it, whereon were set forth in tbe Bo hemian idiom, the names, titles and quali ties of bim or ber in whose memory it was lighted. Innumerable lamps and taper be fore the side altars and under the strange canopied shrines at the bases of the pillars, struggled ineffectually with the gloom, shedding but a few sickly yellow rays upon the pallid faces of the persons nearest to their light Suddenly, the heavy vibration of a single pedal note burst from the organ upon the breathing silence, long drawn out, rich, voluminons, imposing. Presently upon the massive bass great chords grew up, succeed ing each other in a simple modulation, rising then with the blare of trumpets and the simultaneous crash of mixtures, fifteenths and coupled pedals to a deafening peal, then subsiding quickly again and ter minating in one long snstained common chord. And now as tbe celebrant bowed at tbe lowest step before the high altar, the voices of the innumerable congregation joined the harmony of the organ, ringing up to the groined roof in an ancient Slavonic melody, melancholy and beautiful, and ren dered yet more unlike all other musie by the undehnable character of the Bohemian lan guage, in which tones softer than those of the softest Southern tongue alternate so oddly with rough gutturals and strident sibilants. The Wanderer stood in the midst of the throng, erect, taller than the men near him, holding his head high, so that a little of the lights from the memorial torches reached his thoughtful, manly face, making the noble and passionate features to stand out clearly, while losing its power of illumi nation in the dark beard and among tbe shadows of his hair. His was a face such as Bembrandt would have painted, seen under the light that Bembrandt loved best; for the expression seemed to overcome tbe surrounding gloom by its own luminous qnality, while the deep gray eyes were made almost black by the wide expansion of the pupils; the dusky brows clearly defined the boundary in the face between passion and thought, and the pale forehead, by its slight recession into the shade from its middle prominence, nrociaimed the man of heart, tbe man of faith, the man of devotion, as well as the intuitive nature of the deli cately sensitive mind and the quick, elastic qualities of the mail's finely organized, but nervous bodily constitution. The long white fingers ot one hand stirred restlessly, twitching at the fur of his broad .lapel, which was turned back across his chest, and from time to time he drew a deep breath and sighed, not painfully, but wearily and hopelessly, as a man sighs who knows that his happiness is long past and that his liber ation from the burden of life is yet far off in the future.

The gospel over, the people sank into their seats again, not standing, as is the custom in some countries, nntil the creed had been said. Here and there, indeed, a wnmau, perhaps a stranger in the country, remained upon her feet, noticeable among the many figures seated in the pews. The Wanderer, familiar with many lands and many variing traditions of worship, unconsciously noted these exceptions, looking with a vagus curiosity from one to the other. Then, all at once, his tall frame shivered from head to foot and his fingers convulsively grasped the yielding sable on which they lay. She was there, the woman he had sought so long, whose face he had not found in the cities and dwellings of the living, neither her grave in tbe silent communities of the dead. There, before the unconth monument of dark red marble, beneath which Braba rests in peace, there she stood; not as he had seen her last on that day when his senses had left him in the delirium of his sickness, not in the freshness of her bloom and of her dark loveliness, hut changed as be had dreamed in evil dreams that death would have power to change ber. The warm olive of her check was turned to the hue of wax, the soft shadows beneath her velvet eyes were deepened aud hardened, her expression, once yielding and changing under the breath TJNOENA. of thought and feeling as a field of flowers when the west wind blows, was now set, ai though forever, in a death-like fixity. The delicate features were drawn and pinched, the nostrils contracted, the colorless lips straightened-out of thelinesof beauty into the mold of a lifeless mask. It was the face of a dead woman, but it was her face still, and the Wanderer knew it well; in the kingdom of his soul the whole resistbss commonwealth of the emotions revolted to gether to dethrone death's regent, sorrow while the thrice-tempered springs of passion, bent but not broken, stirred suddenly iu tbe palace of his body aud shook the strong ioundotion of his being. During the seconds that followed his eyes were riveted upon the beloved head. Then, as the creed ended, the vision sank down and was lost to his sight She was seated now, and the broad sea of humanity hid her from him, though he raised himself the full height of his stature in the effort to distin guish even the least part of her head-dress. To move from his place was alt but impossi ble, though the fierce longing to be near her bade him trample even upon the shoulders of the trong to reach her, as men bave done more than once to save themselves from death by fire in crowded places. Still the singing of the hymn continned, and would continue, as he knew, until the moment of the Elevation. He strained his hearing to catch the sounds that came trom the quarter where she sat In a chorus of a thousand singers be fancied that be could have distin guished tbe tender, heart-stirring vibrations of her tones. Never woman sang, never could woman sing again as she bad onca sung, though her voice had been as soft as it had been sweet, and tuned to vibrate in the heart rather than in the ear. As tbe strains rose and fell, tbe Wanderer bowed his head and closed his eyes, listening through the maze of sounds for the silvery ring ot her magic note. Something he heard at last, something that sent a thrill from his ear to his heart, unless indeed his heart itscll were making music for his ears to hear. The impression reached bim fit fully, often interrupted and lost, but as often renewing itself and awakening in tbe listener the certainty of recognition which he had felt at the sight of the singer's face. He who loves with his whole soul has a knowledge and a learning which surpass tbe wisdom of those who spend their lives in the study of things living or long dead, or never animate. Tbey, indeed, can construct the figure of a flower from the dried web of a single leaf or by the examination of a dusty seed, and they can set up tbe scheme of life of a shadowy mammoth out of a fragment of its skeleton, or tell the story of hill and valley from the contemplation of a handful of earth or of a broken pebble. Often they .are right, sometimes they are driven deeper and deeper into error by the complicated imperfections of their own soience. But he who loves greatly possesses in bis intnition the capacities of all instru ments of observation which man has in vented and applied to his use, The lenses of his eye can magnify the infinitesimal de tail to the dimensions of common things, and bring objects to his vision from im measurable distances; the labyrinth of his ear can choose and distinguish amid tbe harmonies and the discords of the world, muffling in its tortuons passages tbe reverberation of ordinary sounds while multiplying a hundredfold the faint tones of the one beloved voice. His who.le body and his whole intelligence form together an in strument of exquisite sensibility, whereby the perceptions oi his inmost soul are hourly tortured, delighted, caught up into ecstasy. torn and crushed by jealousy and fear, or plunged Into tbe frigid waters of despair. The melancholy hymn resounded through: the vast ehurob, but thongh the Wanderer stretched the faculty of hearing to tbe ut most,'he could no longer find the note he songbt among the vibrations of the dank and heavy air. Then an irresistible longing came upon bim to turn and force his way through the dense throng of men and women, to reach tbe aisle and press past the huge pillar till be could ilip between the tomb stone and tbe astronomer and the row of blaek wooden seats. Onoe there, he should see her face to face. He turned, indeed, u he stood, and h J I fi a
