lie Avas conuucieu a war as mvs-
teriously as lie hid been brought
thither ; or could he by any uocsible
means discover Avherc he had been,
Ins companions rejecting all bribes,
and c-en refusing to answer the sim
plest question.
Months rolled on. Colonel Mer-
ville is true to his vow, and happy
in anticipation of love Suddenly he
is ordered on an embasgy, to Vienna,
the gayest of all European capitals,
about the time Napoleon was planing
to marry the Archduchess Maria
Louisa. The Colonel is handsome,
manly, and already distinguished in
arms, and becomes at once a great
favorite at court, every effort being
made yb tha woman to captivate him,
hut in vain ; he is constant and true
to his vow.
Hut his heart is not made of stone;
the very fact that he had entertained
such tender fcelinc:9 for the Avhite I
domino had doubtless made him more
susceptible than before,
At last he met the young Baroness
Caroline on aldroff, and in spite
of his vows she captivates him, and
he secrctely curses the engagement
he had so blindly made in Paris.
She seems to wonder at what she be
lieves to be his devotion and yet
the distance he maintains! The truth
was that his sense of honor was so
.Teat that, though he felt he loved
But at , l'ie .vounff baroness, and even she re-
htfullv i turiiftt his atlection, still he had
given his word and that was sacred.
The satin domino is no longer the
ideal of his heart, but assumed the
most repulsive form in his imagina
tion, and becomes, in place of his
good angel, the evil genious.
Well, time rolls on ; he is to run in
a few days it is onc more the car
nival season ; and in Vienna, too.that
gay city. He joins in the festivities
of the masked ball, and wonder rlls
his brain, Avhen, about the middle of
the evening, the white domino steals
before him in the same white dress
he had seen her wear a year before
at the French Opera House in Paris.
Was it not a fancy ?
"I come, Colonel Eugene Merville,
to hold you to a promise," she said,
laying her hand lightly upon bis
arm.
"Is this a reality or a dream?"
as-ked the amazed soldier.
"Come follow me, ami you shall
see that it is a reality," continued the
mask pleasantlv.
"I will."
"Have you been faithful to your
promise?" asked the domino, as they
retired into a saloon.
"Most truly ia fact, but alas, I
fear not in he rt."
"Indeed."

"It is the Baroness Von WaldrofT,"
he said, with a sigh.
"And you really love her?"
"Alas only too dearly," said the
soldier, sadly.
"Xevertheless I must hold you to
your promise. Here is the other
half of the ring; can you produce its

"Here it is," said Eugene Mer

said the domino, raising her mask
and showing to his astonished view
the face of the Baroness Von Wal

his manly spirit and character, and
having found by inquiry that he was
worthy of her love, she had manage

San Bernardino, California, in a
virtuous place, and it is making hero
ic efforts to remain so. Thore is just
one man within its borders who
does not conform to the standard of
morality established there, and San
Bernardino has Wen wrestling nobly
with that man. The man is strong,
lie appears to have the law on bis
side, and in four tussles he haB thrown
San Bernardino to the grass every
time, and walked off victorious.
That man's name is Oades, and he is
an Englishman of good address, and
went into the country two years ago
and soon married a pretty widow,
Nancy Foreland, and he prospered,
and increased and multiplied.
At length an oldish worn woman
and three pretty well grown children
made their appearance in the town
of San Bernardino, and asked Avhere
Oades lived. She was directed to
comfortable Oades mansion. The
door was opened to her and she and
the children walked in and stayed
there. Soon the neighbors came and
poked their noses in, and smelling
around for vice. The familv was
perfectly happy and contented and
all as gay as larks. To satisfv the
neighbors' curiosity, Oades told them
bluntly that it was none of their bus
iness so long as bis family was hap
py. I he neighbors thought different
ly. Billings had Oades brought in
to court charged with adultery under
the act or 182. Oades introduced
documentary evidence and provided
that the woman Avith the three cbil
dren was his lawful wife, having
been married to him in hngland
twentv years ago. This sent Bill
ings and San Bernardino to the grass
and Oades walked home to his fami
ly. In a few davs Oades Avas taken
before the same court charged with
open and notorious adultery with
Mrs. Xancy Foreland Xo. 2. Here
he placed himself under the protee
tion of the civil code w bich declares:
"The marriage of a person having
a iornier nusbaml or wile living is
void, unless snch former husband or
wife was absent and not known to
such person to be living for five years
preceeuingsuch subsequent marriage,
in w hich case the subsequent mar
riage is void onlv from the time its
nullity is adjudged by a proper tri
buna)."
The court then considered the
question whether Mrs. Oades Xo.
had been absent and not known by
Oades to be living for five years im
mediately proceeding his marriage
with Mrs. Foreland. Oades introdu
ccs this romantic historv:
About eight years ago he was liv
ing with Mrs. Oades Xo. 1 and their
three children in Wellington county
Xew Zealand. Their residence was
on the frontier. Having gone on
business to Victoria, the Maoris, a
tribe with wbich the English were at
peace, made an mrode into the
settlement without warning. Re
turning, Oades found his building
burned, his fields laid waste and his
family gone. In the smoking ruins
he found human bones, which settled
his doubts as to the fate of his lov
ed ones. He staved amid the scenes
of his desolation for over a vear, and
then he turned his back upon them
forever. He came to California, liv
ing in various places until his advent
at San Bernardino two years ago, as
stated.
The court accepted the, statement
and held thai Oades had been igno
rant of the distance of his wife for
more than five years previous to his
second marriage. Oades Avas acquit
ted and walked forth from the conrt
room once more to his happy home.
San Bernardino had again gone to
the grass.
The next thing in order for virtue
was to try Oades for bigamy , and Oades
was accordingly indicted. San Ber
nardino and bis wife were there, and
there were also Oades and his two
wives. Oades' defense was under
the penal code itself, which provides
that no person shall be held guilty
of bigamy whose husband or wife bad
been absent for two successive years,
Avithout being known to such person
as living. And a third time Oades
and his wives prevailed. Tbey left
the court room arm in arm, with all
San Bcrnardijo sneering at their
heels. What did they care so long
as they were happy ?
But San Bernardino is terrified.
It is caught in the trap of the law
the new code of 1872 and stands
paralized before the awful reality.
After Oades was acquitted of big
amy, it was contemplated to institute
a suit to dissolve his second mar
riage, but the civil code declares that
action to annul snch marriage can
be brought only by one of the parties
to the second marriage, or one of the
parties to the first marriage. The
parties to both marriages are satis
fied, and will not bring suit, and
Oades is still living with his two
wives, in San Bernardino, and the
law protects his household.

Other discoveries have been less
successfully guarded, fortunately for
the world. The manufacture of tin
ware in England originated in a sto
len secret. Few readers need be in
formed that tinware is simply iron
plated with tin by being dipped into
the molten metal. In theory it is an
easy matter to clean the surface of
iron, dip it into a bath of boiling tin,
and remove it, enveloped with the
silvery metal, to a place for cooling.
In practice however, the process is
one of the most diflicult in the arts.
It was discovered in Holland and
guarded from publicity for nearly
half a century. England tried in
i vain to discover the secret, until
James Sherman, a Cornish miner,
crossed the Channel, and insinuated

C. C. Fulton says in the Baltimore
American : 1 visited the Frankfort
cemetry this afternoon. It is located
on the top of a steep hill on the edge
of the city, the Kentucky river run
ning along its base. It would be
diflicult to find a spot of more natu
ral beaut', and the monuments in it
are very numerous, and of more than
ordinary elegance and good taste.
The monument o-cr the remains of
Daniel Boone and wife, the pioneers
of Kentucky, is a beautiful and chaste
affair, although the vandals have
clipped off and greatly defaced the
fine has reliefs in their greed for me
mentos. The monument in the center
of the grounds, erected by the State
to the memory of Colonel Henry
Clay, Jr., and the numerous officers
w ho fell in the Mexican war, is an
elegant affair, about 40 feet high, with
numerous fine statues. The remains
of Governor Letcher and those of
quite a number of distinguished Ken
tuckiaos also repose in the grounds
of this cemetry, and have very impo
sing monuments. The momument of
Colonel Ilichard M. Johnson has a
fine bas relief of the old hero in the
act of shooting Tecumseh, which the
High up on the Rocky Mountains,
where the snow lies deep and Avbite
the long year through, and the winds
blow cold ond sharp, live the rabbits
Avith snow shoes, that I want to tell
about.
They arc beautiful creatures.
Their fur is pure white, very soft
and warm and they leap with won
derful quickness, over the suow.
For (lod who knew just where their
homo would be and how they would
have to run on the top of the deep
snow, provitled them with long broad
feet on the hind legs which are just
as good for rabbits as the great long
snow shoes are tor men, for they
keep them from breaking through the
delicate enow crust, or sinking
in the feather, flakes.
These wonderful snow shoes
which Ood made which fit each foot
and wbich never wear out, serve
them well, enabling them to run
lightly over the soft snow where noth
ing can follow tbem. No dog can
catch them, for he will break
through at every leap, and flounder
in the snow drifts, while the rabbit
runs on a broad, smooth pathway
over the mountain gorges, where the
snow lies sixty or seventy feet deep.

We have frequently calleJ atten
tion to this business matter but to
save a few dollars many persons will
neglect the chance to reap perhaps
hundreds, by simply refusing to risk
a trifle, because tbey cannot see the
result in advance. Did every farmer
refuse to sow the seed because he
cannot tell the profit of the sext
years crop, then indeed would larm
ing become a poor business, but ex
perience teaches that the average
profits of farm crops do pay, and just
so would it pay our farmers to ad
vertise their real estate and personal
property more and better. The Sun-
bury American, says on this subject:
"Advertismtr ales of real and per
sonal property by hand-bill was one
time the best way of making them
known. But that was before the day
when everybody read the newspapers.
Newspapers have, to a great extent,
Bupplanted the posters, and when a
thing is to be brought to the atten
tion of everybody it is advertised in
the newspapers. For every person
who reads a sale bill posted in a
country store, tavern or blacksmitn
shop, a hundred will read the
same thing if printed in the county
paper. In advertising, the news
paper posses all the advantages. It
goes into every family and is read in
comfort and at h isure. The hand
bill is stutk up where it receives at
best but a passing notice, and the
majority who see it do not read it at
all. The newspaper is printed by
thousands, and everybody reads it,
of the baud-bills twenty-five or thirty
at most are printed and stuck up.
The newspaper is tho cheapest and
best advertising medium. Sales of
personal projierty are Wst made
known by handbills and newspapers
both.
The York Democratic Pre com
menting on what the American says,
adds that: "It is a matter of surprise
that people Avho have sales do not
advertise them more extensively, for
the cost is trifling and if only one ad
ditional bidder were obtained thereby
the expense would be far more than
made up by that one alone. But, in
stead of one many more are obtained
by extensive advertising, and the
proGts of the vendue are consequent
ly greatly enlarged. Everybody
knows that when vendue "jales are
largely at'ended goods ct.me much j
nearer bringing their value than when I
the attendance is small. 1 1 is strange,
therefore, that those having sales do
not give tbem all the publicity that
can possibly be obtained."
Advertising like other things when
done should be done well. We have
arrived at an age when people do
read newspapers, and to neglect ad
vertising in the popular extensively
circulated newspaper, is right down
neglect, carelessness and waste. In
nine cases out of ten the name neglect
in farming would lie considered inex
cusable and wasteful.
Another stolen secret is the method ! The paper is Avorked off. and the
of inventing citrie acid. The in ven- j scrutinv that would cheerful! v attack

who Avas a resi
dent of Loudon. Ensrland for a lonrr
time enjoyed the monopoly of his in
vention. More favorably circum
stanced than other secret manufactur
ers, his was a process that required
no assistance. He employed no
workmen. FIxperts came to sample
and assort and bottle his pro ducts.
They never entered his Iahratory.
The mystic operations byjtvhich he
grew rich were confined to himself.
One day havincr locked the dcor.s
and bliaded the windows, sure as
usual of the safety of bis secret, the
chemist went home to dinner. A
chimney-sweep, or a boy disguised
as such, wide-awake in chemistry,
was on the watch. F'ollowing the
secret-keeper so far in Lis wav to
ward Charing Cross, as to be sure he
would not return on that day, the
sooty philosopher hied rapidly back
to Temple Barr, ascended the low
building, dropped down the Hue, saw
all he wanted, and returned, carrying
with him the mystery of making cit
ric acid. The monopoly of the in
ventor was gone. A feAV months af

reduced four-fifths. The poor man
was heart b'oken, and died shortly
afterAvard, ignorant of the trick by
