4, 4 awl 60 SEVENTH AVENl E,
nurat Pittsburgh, Pa.
My cousin Hortcnse ww very Land
some, nul a great flirt beside.
I was a little fellow then.and didn't
know what that meant,' but I learned.
Ilortense wasns jjood-natured . a
girl ns ever lived, but it seems as
natural as her prettiness for a pretty
g-irl to flirt. j ;
My cousin had three lovers. She
had scores of them for that matter,
but there were three who seemed
that they would not take "no'' for an
answer. . t
First and forino.st, because my un
cle favored him, was Air. Clemens
"Father Luke," Hortease called him
in derision. His name was Luke
Clemens, and he was old enough to
be Hortense's grandfather, for that
matter.
Why he wanted a blooming young
girl for a wife at his age nobody
knew. Rut he was very, very rich.
I I is house stood on- an eminence
just out of town, and looked like a
great white marble palace.
It was furnished in the most e.
travagrant and luxurious style, and
to see the inside of it was enough to
make any woman expire with desire
to bo mistress of its elegance.
Ilortense could not withstand its
fascinations, and in the end she agreed j
to m trry Father Luke for the sake of
it ; 1 ut not yet.
X xt on the list was Raynull Ford,
was French on his mother's side. He
had long, black hair, Bilkv and as fine
as a woman's, and he parted it in the
middle and combed it straight behind
his ears as a woman might. It gave
him a very odd look taken in connec
tion with his red cheeks and Tieavy
mustache.
He had not the ghost of a chance
of winning Ilortense, though he would
not sec it, for neither my uncle nor
my cousin liked him.
Ilortense use to say it made her
shiver only to look at him, and I was
afraid of him myself. He used to
mutter in French, and hiss out sharp
words tinder his breath when he was
angry, that made me want to shrink
out of his sight.
He was not welcome at my uncle's
house, but there was no excuse for
treating him otherwise than courte
ously, and he came from a fine family,
so he continued to come and vex my
cousin with attentiens he could not
sec were not merely unwelcome but
repulsive.
Ilortense had been to blame in the
first place, for Hhe had smiled on him,
and played with him in a most unjus
tifiable manner.
She did all she could to discourage
him, but it was too late.
Last of all was Phil Dering, dear
old Phil ; not that he was the young
est of them all, but that was a fash
ion Ilortense and I had of talking
about him. In her secret heart, my
little wicked flirt of a cousin loved
Phil.
Rut as he was the poorest of the
lot, as well as the handsomest,clevcr
cst.and kindest.she had not the small
est idea of ever marrying him. Phil
and I were great friends.
I can't describe Phil to you, buthe
was handsome such bright, glancing
eyes, such dark waving hair, such a
kind, pleasant voice, but with a touch
of stength in it that made one think
it would lie something worth while
to have him to lean on if yon were
in trouble. With all mv cousin's way
wardness, Phil Dering could do more
with her than any one else could.
He must have known all along that
she loved him, for I used to hear him
say sometimes when she was in a
gracious mood, and would let him
talk to her:
"Von never will marry Father
Luke, Ilortense ; I know yon will
not. If you don't, I will wait."
The words were overheard by
The man looked like a ghost with
his ghastly face, his set of white
teeto, and his flaming eyes. His hair
looked as though he had been tearing
it with his hands. He had got the
news of Hortenses engagement, though
who told him of it, or if anybody
did, I never knew.
He might have gathered it from a
chance word or stray look. There
was a dinner party at my uncle's that
day, and when the company wa3 gath
ered, nobody was missing but Phil.
He had gone home. Ilortense was
never so gay, I am sure, or so beauti
ful. Raynal! Ford, self-possessed
and gentlemanly, ami not looking
much like the half wild individual 1
had seen in the shrubbery was more
smiling ami affable than his wont.

to talk alwiut it at first, it had been so
terrible, I was pursuaded by my

do as he wished. I was all prepared,
however, to see Phil there.

receipts of April 1872, were $10,160,

1372, were $U.015,03G, and the first
four months of 1873, were $32,094,

It was thick dusk when I reached
the road, going down the long shrub

Little did my cousin guess where I

was about the ground somewhere,
whereas he was miles away, at

There was an evident sensation in
the court at this portion of my tale,
and everybody looked at Phil, and
Reynall Ford, who had stood where I
had not seen him before, pressed for
ward, and putting a slender hand up
on the railing, leaned right over that
he might see Phil's face, and gave
one of his half audible French hisses.
Upon the hand glittered the ring I
remembered so well.
It was only natural, I suppose, that
his 1 1 should add to my already fiuished
j recital that the mysterious "black
I was only eight years old, and I : man" had a ring like Mr. Ford's,
had never been permitted to go outi There wa3 another, sensation then,
on the open road quite alone like this; and Raynall Ford turned upon me
out lar irom heing atrani, l held up
my head and tried to whistle, and
strutted uiong as though I had been a
major general.
"I don't know how far I had walk
ed or how long; I had a very vague
idea of the way, supposing I had to
follow the road". Rut I had gone far
enough to tire a little fellow out like
me pretty thoroughly ; for when I sat
down on a log by the wayside to rest,
I presently slipped down upon the
soft turf, and screened by some tall
weeds from the immediate view of
any passer by, went to sleep.
I must have slept for hours. I was
woke by a dazzling flash, and a sen
sation as though something had burst
in my head, and then I heard groans,
and there was another flash ami re
port that made me jump up screaming.
The next I knew somebody had
pounced upon me,and was still stifling
my screams with his hand.
It was a man with a black mask on,
as I could see by the moonlight,
though I was too frightened then to
know it was a mask.
A gray -haired old-man, too covered
with blood for me to know him as Mr.
Clemens, lay doubled up in a heap in
the middle of the road, and a still
smoking revolver was on the ground
Iieside him. In the distance I could
hear the sound of retreating carriage
wheels, Mr. Clemens' horses having
taken fright and run.
The terror of my infantile days
had been a mysterious black man,
with whom my nurse had been wont
to threaten me, but out of whose
memory I had in a measure grown
until this revival of his superstitious
presence.
I stopjied screaming in the intensity
of my fright at his bodily appearance.
When he uncovered my mouth, I
could only clasp my hands and gasp:
"Please Mr. RIatk Man, I will be
good, Mr. Rlaek Man !"
He seemed to consider while he
held me fast, and while he considered
I could sec his eyes shine through the
mask, and I rememberthinking in the
midst of my terror how much the
eyes were Raynall Ford's.
He had on a long, black, oil-cloth
coat, with the collar turned up high,
and though the sleeves were very
long, I could see a strangely white
and slender hand, and on one of the
lingers, guttered like eye ol hre, a
large diamond.
"He's got a ring like Mr. Ford's,
too," frsaid to myself with a shudder.
He put me upon the ground pres
ently, and still holding my hand, led
me rapidly away. After a little, see
ing that I did not step quickly enough
showing his white teeth, as if he
would have torn me. I was a child,
and scarcely recovered from a long
illness. As that man turned toward me
thus, I saw, or seemed to see, the eve
of that terrible being whose arms had
clasped me that never-to-be-forgotten
night, and whose shape of terror had
printed itself in letters of torture up
on my childish brain.
I cried out sharply :
"It is the blackman ! Dont let him
get me !" and crowded helplessly in
my uncle's arms.
There wrs a wild commotion in an
instant. Raynal! Ford made a guilty
dash for the door, and when some
body' stopived him, put the muzzle of
a loaded pistol to his lips and blew
his brains out.
Phil was acquitted. Three years
afetrward he and Ilortense were mar
ried. Raynell Ford had stolen Phil's re
volver on purpose to fasten suspicion
on him, and had disguised himself as
Mr. Clemens' coachman having first
drugged the real driver.
He had shot the old man first in
the carriage, but the old man had
managed to get out into the road.
Then he jumped off the box and
fired the second time and killed him.

are obstacles to appointment for ladies

vative prejudice against ladies on the

Ilortense must have vacilatcd some
what, probably a great deal, between
the old man with all his money, and
dear, handsome Phil.
Rut at last, as I have said, between
her longings nnd the fine house, and
her father's instance, she said yes to
Father Luke.
She told Phil herself, when the bar
gain was fairly made told hint" with
a saucy, cruel laugh, and a mocking
brightness in herbird-hko eyes.
Phil turned whiter than his collar,
and gave her such a look not a word,
but one look, then he went away.and
left me and her standing there to
gether. Ilortense grew a little pale ; wo
men don't feel such things as men do;
I think they are selfish naturally, and
their education makes them more so.
She looked down at me and smiled,
and her lips trembled, but she looked
so brightly, so prettily defiant at my
back on her and said that I hated her
She laughed aloud at that. j
"If you hate me because you love
Phil, cousin Dick, here's a kis8 for
you, and I wish I was you."
And with a kiss sho was gone. I
ran after Phil but I could not find
him.
Coming back through the shrub-
he took mo in his arms antl strode on
faster than before.
When he put me down again it
was in my uncle's ground, though I
did not know it then, and before he
quitted me ho bent down and said.
'Don't you know me, little Dick?
I'ara Phil Dering."

unconscious. The sun was high when

ors of the tabic. I shall never foget
the startled look she gave as I stood
in the doorway.
I was too exhausted to speak for
some time, and when I could talk
must have given a most disjointed
account of what I had undergone.
Rut it was, in its fragments, of a
nature to cause my uncle to go out
with a couple of servants to examine
the road upon which I had been.
They found old Mr. Clemens lying
quite dead (ho had liecn shot twice),
and lying by him was tho fatal weap
on by which he had been slain.
It was Phil Dering's revolver, and
that morning Phil was arrested for
murder.

Washington, D. C, May 0. 1873.
After a long, cold-rainy (one-half
occasionally sunshine two hours)
weather for tho past ten days, it is
again fair to all appearance settled
weather. At any rate Old Sol is dis
tributing his rays at angles of about
45 degrees upon Pennsylvania
Avenue to the effect to raise the mur
cury to 70 degrees. This certainly
must seem suspicious, in comparison
with what has been experienced dur
ing the spring.
The people of the Dietrict of Col
umbia are still suffering from financial
embarrassment. It is not possible to
liquidate the indebtedness of the Dis
trict with the moneys apnropriated.
and its certificates of indebtedness
are worth only from 85 to 05 cents on
a dollar. This certainly slmuhl not
be.
We hourly receive telegrams from
the more important towns up the
Potomac and the Shenandoah rivers,
uotifying the people that the late
rains are swelling, to an alarming ex
tent, those streams. Rut few places
on the broad Potomac, however, will
suffer by a flood.
The death of Mr. James Rrooks
more than a week since in Washing
ton, excites a great deal of comment.
Rrooks was a man seldom seen on the
streets and consequently, unlike other
M. C's., whose out-door exercise con
sisted mostly in walking the streets of
Washington, the common people knew
but little of outside of, what was said
about him in the news-papers. In
fact, in Xew York city his constitu
ency, made up mostly of the lower
classes, seldom saw him.
The more recent deaths of Chief
Justice Chase. Oakes Ames (last
night) and John Stuart Mills (to-day)
have greatly intensed comment. The
legislators, the jurist, the business
men and the reformers meet in com
mon to morn tho loss, respectively, of
their deceased friends.
The death of Chief Justice Chase
took our community greatly by sur
prise though any one who had lately
seen his debilitated frame as he took
his daily walk on the avenue would
have been shocked with the increas
ing signs of debility. He had become
prematurely old aud the dilapidation
of his once splendid physique was
exaggerated by the heavy growth of
beard covering his face. He has
served well his country. His earlier
efforts in behalf of freedom and his
splendid financiering system will pass
into history while, it is to be hoped,
his deep anxiety for the presidency
and his truckling to Andy Johnson
and the Democracy will be forgotten.
His remains are now in this city, and
will lay in state on Monday next in
the Metropolitan M. E. Church.

The U. S. Supreme Court have
settled an important question in a late
decision. When a party assigns a
life insurance policy as security for
debt, the creditor, in case of the death
of the insured party, tan collect only
the amount of the debt It was
claimed that the entire amount of the
insurance insured to the creditor, but
the highest judicial authority of the
land ha3 claimed this claim. This
decision will have an important bear
ing in the hypothecation of life poli
cies for debt.
The President finds strong oppo
tion to the Civil Service Reform not
only among Republican Congress
men, but also in his own Cabinet. It
is said that Secretary Richardson,
has expressed himself in favor of ap
pointing clerks and other employees
upon the recommendation of Con
gressmen, but rigidly assigning to
each state and territory a quota of
appointees, proportionate to its popu
lation. As it now is, the matter is
virtually in the hands of a ring of
departmental officials. Examinations
have been made the cover of gross
frauds in the rejection of qualified,
and in the admission of unqualified
applicants. The hue and cry in
favor of this so-called reform is based
upon an utter misconception of its
character, and of the imperfect ex
tent to which it has been realized in
the Department here.
The removal of Mr. De Long our
minister to Japan was caused by his
persistent violation of diplomatic
etiquette. He had made presents
directly to the Mikado, upon his own
responsibility, whereas it should have
been done through the Japanese min
ister. Although rebuked fur this
cause by the State Dept. Mr. De
Long, continued the practice. As to
tne propriety oi tne rule itself, per
sons not familiar with diplomacy and
its requirements ore scarcely able to
decide. Rut Mr. De Long was cer
tainly bound to obey the instruction.3
of the Government he represents.
The law regulating the armv.
allows the employment of one thous
and Indians, under the name of
scouts. It is proposed to use this
power by enlisting a regiment of red
skins to fight the Modocs. The ex
igencies of lhe cose arc peculiar, and
it is doubtful whether it is yet fully
understood. Professor Hayden of
this city, who has been for several
years prosecuting geological surveys
in the territories, believes the Modoc
stronghold to be practically impregna
ble. The prospect of a long and ex
pensive war is by no means agreeable
to the country, but it is not to be sup
posed that the civilized man will in
every instance have the advantage of
the savage. On the return of Presi
dent Grant a more definite line of ac
tion will be determined upon.
Tho Internal Revenue office is
steadily pressing the execution of the
government claims against the Xew
York, Central R. It. for internal rev

The collector at Albany recently sold
eight locomotives for $22,750 the
company being the purchaser. Old
Commodore Vanderbilt feels that his
services during the war of the rebell
ion entitles him in some manner to
over ride the law. In spite of his
patriotic services and of his tremen
dous financial powers the government
calmly reminds him that he is but one
of the 40 million American citizens
and that if he will not abide the law
he will be compelled to, just as the
humblest of his fellow citizens would
be.
The Internal Revenue Office, esti
mates that the receipts of internal
revenue will average $500,000 per
diem, up to June 30th. 1S73, and
five or six years older than Schaum,
and that they had Wn quarreling
about some sugar. This was all the
information they could obtain that
night, and of course the parents of
the missing boy became very much
alarmed. Friday morning the search
was renewed, but it was not until
noon that the murder was developed
Two boys named Slater, in passing
along near where the boys were re
ported to have had their quarrel, dis
covered a large pile of leaves heaped
up against a log, and on pulling them
away were horrified to find the dead
body of the missing boy. It had
been dragged some distance, and
covered up with leaves. A spot was
found where the murderer had at
tempted to dig a hole in the ground,
evidently with the intention of cover
ing up the body with earth, but the
more convenient method was adopt
ed. A hickory switch or stick, was
found near the scene of the murder,
and with this the boy had betn beat
en to death h;s skull haviDg been
fractured in several places, and the
body badly bruised. The boys spread
the news, and soon the farmers of the
neighborhood gathered about, and
search was at once made for the al
leged murderer, Timothy Bacon. The
constable of the township went to the
house of Mr. Dillon, stepfather of Bat
con, and found the boy in the barn.
At first he denied his guilt ; but,
when taken before Justice Fassold,
and told that he had been seen quar
reling with Georgie on the road home
from the store.be admitted that he had
struck him with the stick because he
would not give him the ponnd of su
gar he had purcha?ed. He wasihen
committed to Grcensbure jail to
await a further hearing. The deceas
ed is represented as a bright and in
telligent boy, but tbe prisoner is re
ported to be lacking in mental bal
ance. It is said that his grandfather
had been convicted of mnrder, and
that his father committed suicide
while laboring under religious excite
ment. There may, therefore, be some
heriditary disposition to violence in
the accused, or he may be non com
pos. The testimony against him is
thu.s fur circumstantial, but there
seems to be litt't doubt that he is the
guilty party.
