She Lad not beard bini come in and was kneeling beside a great arm-chair, sobbing as if her heart would break. "Ob, Walter," 6he saiu, "Aunt Julia " and a fresh burst ot sobs interrupted her. Walter's face cleared, ll was no; sorrow of her own then that over whelmed this pretty blue-eyed dar ling he had married six months be fore. "Well, El.ie," he said, taking her in his arms, and caressing, her "what about Aunt Julia? Do not sob so, dear ; you will make yourself ill." "The fire!" said "Elsie, keeping her sobs somewhat more under con trol. "You know I was very much worried when I heard of it, for 1 did not know whether Aunt Julia's house was in tbe burnt district' or not." For ths irreat Chicago fire wu not a week old, and the whale country watched for news. "Well, dear," said Walter kindly. "It is aa bad as it can be, Walter. Annt Julia writes to me that her house was totally destroyed, her Tery clothing burned up and her in surance papera not entirely made out. She is absolutely without any thing in the world but the clothes she bad oo. Actually fed by charity. Ob, Walter!" Here the sols crao again, thick and, fast, tad Walter could' offer no icomfort but such as wa3 cenveyed by silent careseer. After a time these were so far effectual that Elsie could apeak more calmly. "Now little on'l W&Her. said, "tt.Il rr. whr this troubles you so sorely 1)0 yo'a love your aunt so verr dearlv V She had beeneycrytLinea, momcr could be 6io.ee my parenia meu, m m t,er.

But just before we were married, an old iriend of Aunt Julia's died in Chica go, and left her ten thousand dollars. " . ' . . a When she went to claim Her legacy, she Haw Lhe house, and liked it so much she boup-h it. her legacy cover in? the expense of the house, lot, and furniture, while her own littlo ir&ome would siiDDcr; ler. But, unfortun. ately,"bh'e was persuaded to draw out her fortune and invest in two lots adjoining her house. 'ow every thing is swept away." "ijbe took care ot you w hen. joy were a child V "For seventeen years, Walter: de nying herself to fetd and cloth me." Walter did not speak again for many minutes, holding Elsie close in his arms. At last he said very gravely : 'Iflwerea rich man, Elsie, would not stop to think in a case like this, but say at once "bring your aunt here." But you know, little wife, niv salary, thouirh sufficient for all your wants, Tmh a argfn for fleasure and saving'a nest egg, is el not large. If 1 invite your aunt bere, the difference of expense mast fall heavily upon you because can aot give you, macy pleasures yoa en- jov if I have one more to support. Concert ana jeweiry, uuie g.us uu pleasures will be beyond our means . :n i l : then. lui ll you wm ue uayp.cr knowing your aunt has a home, I will go myself and bring her here." "Oh, V alter, you are so kind, how generous you are ! I will never be able to thank you." "Then I am to go. All right. I will get a leave of absence to-morrow. In tho'mean time I will tele graph your aunt to meet me at the depot, it 6he ba3 sent any address." "The address is the lawyer's who ar ranged her legacy for her, and who did not live in the burst district: Moses & Hunter." A few days later, as fast 3 eteara would carry Walter to Chicago and back, EJsie was waiting to welcome the travelers. A telegram had in furmed her that Walter had found Annt Julia waiting at the depot, and by what traio to expect him home. 11 e only spare room la the pretty bouse at Harlem, where Walter had braught his dainty bride, was ia or der. Jennie, the servant, was cook ing the cboiaest supper Jblsie could devise, and the Uuie wife herself neatlj dressed, was running to the door every minute watching for the carriage. It came at last, and Yt alter band- ed oat a lady. Poor Elsie felt fairly ESTABLISHED, 18 2 PA., WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21. IS75. sick, as the guest tottered rather than walked into the room. She was white as ashes, her hair, Elsie remembered black as a coal not a year before, streaked with gray, and eyes sunken with long illness. When the water-proof cloak fell trom ter shoulders, her shabby dress was most nnlike Annt Julia's habitual j neatness. But, tho first shock of; surprise was over, Elsie had no words too loving to welcome her aunt, while soft, tender kisses fell fa?t up on the pale face. "She is very tired, Elsie," Walter wh'spered, seeing how vainly the white lips tried to fraae words. "Git ber to rest, dear, as soon a3 you can." So Elsie, tearfully loving made her aunt lie upon tbe lounge, and brought her the most tempting of tea-trays, stopping the broken words of thanks by kisses and caresses. Walter, too, by a hundred delicate attentions and few spoken words made the guest feel that she was . most cordially welcomed. In her own room Aunt Julia told Elsie something of the horrors that had aged her more in one fortnight than in any previous two years of her life. She bad slept on '.he ground in a drenching rain, for two nightr, then in a tent, with no change ot clothing, and the memory of the fire terrors to haunt'ber. She begged the paper and stamp to write to Elsie. Then she told of Walter's tender care of her in the long journey, when she, racked by pain, often could not speak for hours, how like a son he had cared for ber comfort. It was a sad story, and Elsie's tears Ml fast. "But now," she said, "you are at home. I have put underclothes and loose wrappers in here, Auntie, until we can have some dresses Cited. Let me undress you now." Gently and tenderly the shabby clothes were moved, tbe weary feet bathed, the gray-streaked huir smoothed and the snowy linen put on for the night. Then utterly tired, Aunt Julia sank into the bed, whis pering. "Think, Elsie, I have nut been in a bed for twelve nights !" But, alas! she was not scon te leave it. The haven of rest once gain ed. Aunt Julia lay for many long weeks, dangerously ill with rheumat ic fever, brought on by exposbiv, while the tortured brain, in wildest delirium, raved of scenes that chilled Elsie with horror. All through these weary weeks Elsio was nurso while Walter sup plied every delicacy that could bp bund to tempt tbe invalid, patiently endured the discomforts of the house haunted, by sickness, and proved ,'himseli, Jennie declared; "the near est to an angel of any man ever she acex" i -v, - - - ' ' Winter was nearly over before Aunt Julia was able to leave her bed, cripeled for life. The rheuma tism had so twisted the joints of her hands, legs and feet, that tbey were useless and most of tne time lntecse- Iv painful. She fretted over the prospect of being a burden upon alter and Elsie, with al; ,he des pair of a proud .voaaan who had al ways iRarntaineu her own independ ence, and tearfully begged to be sent to some charitable assylum, where she would be only an expense to tbe public. Elaie told Walter of the wisb, and be went to -.yt Julias reom. faking the crippled, helpless hands in his own, holding them very tenderly, he said : Auut Julia, l.U;e has told how bard these little hands worked for her for seventeen loug years. 1 love Elsie so dearly, that to grieve her is my greatest sorrow. Do you think I could bear to tee ber sutler pain, if her second motber was sick and alone, nursed by hired hands, while we are able and willing to give her love and care? Do not speak again of leaving us. I have not seen Elsie's face so sad as it is to-night, since you come to us." "But, Walter, think ! I mar lite for years." "1 sincerely h.oj.je you will." "A,ad I can never have the use of my bands and feet more than I have now! I can scarcely feed myself, or hobble across the room." "The more reason you should have loving care." , Why, and Waiter laughed, while his honest brown eyes proved hi3 sincerity, ''do yoa think all tbe love here is Elsie's I want my share too, auntie, for I love you as well as my wife. I ask you to stay, becauso I want yoa here. I have not heard Elsie sigh over long, lonely days, since you came." It took many more loving induce ments, but at length, Aunt Julia yielded. It was but truth that Wal-. tcr spoke when be said she had won bis love a9 well as Elsie's. She was yprr patient under excrutiating suf fering, and very grateful fur all tbe loving care lavished upon her. When the pain subsided and she could talk, she was charming com pany, well read and full of pleasant memories and bright observations. While she felt herself a burden, Walter and Elsie regarded her as a blessing. Walter no longer worried at leaving Elsie alone all day while he was at his business, and EUie never tired of Aunt Julia, whof-8 ex perience proved very valuable to the little housekeeper. B.ut month after month there was a scarcely perceptible failing of streath in the sorely tired body, long past youthful vigor. The rhea matic fever bad left heart trouble, and distressing spell of suffocation and palpitation often threatened the invalid's life. Always patient, she yet often prayed for death to end her suffering, while Elsie prayed only that the dear life might be spared. She had been Waller II art marl's guest for two years when her weak- . .J - . nesa increased to aa aiarminif caicui, rapidly and certainly, till she could not leave ber bed- It was while she was hersUf coacious that the ead of her sufferiag was approaching, that she received a letter from ber lawyer in Chicago, informing her that she had received an offer of twenty thou sand dollars for tbe lots she owned in that city. She bad looked on Ler own beg gary as so absolutely certain that at first she conld scarcely credit the mwn but Walter.in whose hands she ' placed the bnsiae33, sooa prored the 7. offer no dream, by accepting the terms, and informing Aunt Julia the money lay in the bank in her came. "Now, you can ride in your car riage when you are well," Elsie said smiling, but tearfully. "I am so glad, Auntie. You will have something now for you in your old age." "But no old age, Elsie," was the sad reply. "I am glad, too, darling, very glad, but not for that." By her own request a lawyer came and wrote her will, and then Aunt Julia, as if the care of life was ended for her, sank rapidly, growing every day weaker and more dependent up on Elsie's loving, never-failing care. It was in early spring, when one evening, as Walter came in, Jenni: met him, her honest face all disfigured with crying. "Sure, sir, its asking for you Miss Julia is." "Is sLe wwrse ?" "Ah, sir, she's going fast. The doctor says she'll not lat the night." Going at last. Walter could see the girl's words were true when he softly entered the room where Aunt Julia rested, her Lead u;.on Elsie's shoulder, ber hands clasped fast in Elsie's. "I am srlail veu came," she whis pered. I think I could not go with out thanking you once more and say ing farewell." "What I have done," Walter said, his heart swelling with emotion, "wa gladly, lovingly done. I do not need thanks, Aunt Julia." 'I believe that, but I am not less grateful because you gave from a full heart. May God bless you and yours, Walter. May what you have done for a crippled, penniless woman come back to you in your old age laden with her blessing. Kiss me farewell. Walter." Reverently be bent over ler, press ing a loving kiss upon tbe withered lips, while tears that were no shame to bis manhood stood in his eyes. A few broken words to Eloie, a mur mured prayer, and the gentle spirit was released from tbe weary, pam- ratked frame. Tears of true love fell upon the wasted face, placid in death's sleep. Every kind word was cherished when the lips that had spoken it were mute, and Aunt Julia bad two true mourners at her funeral, while many of the friends of years cone bv came to pav the last tribute of respect to her memory. It did not surprise E'sio wh&a learned that her Aunt Julia had to her the fortune that came too sbn left late she read to gladden her own life. But told Y alter, when the will was to her ; j "I am glud we never thought of j the land, Walter, ia tbe years Aunt j Julia wa with us. It would have made me Lcsitate o'ten to show her all the lore in my heart, if I had ever thought she had money to leave me." "She knew, darling, it waa allbve, yet I am glad ray Elsie has some re ward for the patiout, tender care that alleviated the sufferings of tbe poor invalid who rests at last." And Elsie, nestling close ia Wal ter's arms, said softly : "If I could love you more. Waller, than I did when I married you, I should do so wh&a I think of your kindness and generosity to Aunt Julia.'1 "It was odd," Walter said, "that tbe money that Aunt Julia invested in Chicago should be actually doubled, for I have seen her weep of ten when she spoke of ber 'unfortun ate investment' of be friend's legacy." Tbe rito Milliard. We recently gave aa account, con densed from an article ia ElacL ic ooV ' Magazine, of the manner in which France paid tbe enormou3 war in demnity extorted by victorious Ger many. Tbe writer ia Blackwood' makes tbe following comments on this wonderful feat: When we look back upon the sub ject as a whole, three great :act strike us ia it. Ihe hrst, tiiat France is vastly rich; the second, that the trade of Europe has attained such a magnitude that figures are ceasing to convey its measure; the third, that the aggregate commercial action of nations is a lever which can lift any financial load whatever. Aa we see the transaction now. with these explanations of its composition before us. we caa not fail to recog nize that it has beea European rather than nure'.v Frensb. All pursts belped to provide funds for it; all trade supplied bills for it.

This was a most unlucky coincidence; bat it existed, and Lad to be met. The German plan was to hold back tbe issue cf the new money aatil 30,000,000 of it were ready to be exchanged for the old sliver cur rency; consequently no silver could, be expected to leave Germany until V some months alter the date at which i the gold had been brought in there; and during the interval, ranee knew that she must suffer from the with drawal of so much bullion Iroui tho general market. But she found assistance iu au un expected way; silver did flow back to her at once from Germany, without waiting for the issue of . the new gold currency: France paid Germany 9,572,000 in France silver: but this was no use to the latter; on the con trary, it was aa embarrassment to her, for she on the point of exporting a quantity of her own silver which would become superfluous as soon as tbe new gold got into circulation. io, for this reason, a considerable portion of the French livefrance pieces came back immediately to France, and helped to reconstitute her store. And all tbe t ther difficulties were, more or loss, liko this one. At first sight they looked grave and durable, but they diminished or disappeared as soon as they were seriously at tacked; the whole thing turned out to be an astonishing example of obstacles ovcratcd. The unsuspect ed wealth of France, assisted by an extent of general commercial dealings wiiich was les3 suspected still, managed to get the better of all tl stumbling blocks ami itrt possibilities which seemed to bar tbe road. France has lost i"d0,000,0i)0, or.c half of which she Las delivered to her enemy, and yet she is going ou p.-osperiog materially as if nothing at all had happened. But it is now quite clear that she never eoald have managed all tLU alone; she could have found the money, but never could she, single-handed, have car ried it to tJeriuany.lt is there, fjr more than in subscriptions to her loans, that the worid ha3 really helped her; she has brou.crht back the stock that foreigners subscribed for her, but she could not do so without the bills they sold her. If she had been left to her own resources for the transport of the indemnity to Berlin, she would probably have Leca forced to send two-thirds of it iu bullion, aud to empty her people's pockets for tho purpose; the vastness of the world's trade and the unity of inter ests which commerce has produced, permitted her to use other nations' means of action instead of her own. 1 Viewed in this li?bt, tbe pavment of the milliards becomes an enormous piece of admirably well arranzeJ in ternational backing, in which nearly all the counting houses of Northern Europe took a share. Jewelry by tlto Ctaabrl. From a rccttit letter from Constat! tinople to the 1'rovideace Journal we tjaote: The accounts which are given of the riches which arc hoarded in the palace bavo tho savor cf the tales of the Arabian Nights. Beyond doubt a vast deal of wealth, in the form of diamonds and precious stones, is ac cumulated there. Tho ostentatious display by the shah wf I'eria of bis wealth in this direction, on the recent tour of visitation with which be fa vored Europe, is well known. Among a profusion of jewels on his person, he was accustomed to wear a cap heavily embroidered with diamonds and fastened at the front with a bril liant of enormous size. Oa the oc casion when the sultan wa3 to receive him as his guest the grand staircase and the corridor leading to the audi ence room were, in anticipation of the arrival cf the shah, ordered to be laid with heavy Smyrna rugs studded all ever with diamonds, emeralds and sapphires, so that the royal visitor was obliged to tread under his feet the evidences of grealncs3 which be wore on Lis head. The sultan re ceived him, as he stepped upon the staircase, in a plain dress, wearing his usual simple fez of scarlet cloth, and without personal crnament of any kind. A neat bit of sarcasm for a barbarian. If any risitor at Con stantinople can procure a firman from the Sublime Torte to visit the impe rial treasury house at the old Serag lio, where he will see more wealth in jewel studded trinkets, diamond moun ted sword Lilts, belts, scabbards, horse furniture and caparisons, cups, vaces, artic!c3 of Eastern workman ship and single stones of immense value, than would bur the crown jewels ia the tower of London twice over.

Strange Adventure- A young Texan who was captured! by the Comanche Ind.ajs about a year ago gave the following account of his experience recently to a cor respondent of the (ialveston AVh".: "I was trying to get five beef steers back to th herd early one mcrning last May, when I was suddenly sur rounded by about twenty-Sve' Com anche Indians and taken prisoner. This happened uearsunrise. I was tied on a horse and carried some twenty miles that day. At night we arrived at a sort of camp, where we joined fifty more Indians, and I louna tney naa anotntr wcite man prisoner. 1 was not allowed to speak with this man, but I could see from the blood on bis face and clothes that he wa3 wounded. "As sooa as the Indians had kindled a fire and eaten some meat, they began to torture this second pris oner, though for what reason I Lave nevtr learned. Thev beat him with a cartridge box strap with a larre! buckle on tbe end of it, -ifter stripping him of his clothes. . 11. -y cut gashes on him with knives. They sawed offhisthumbs with ari old cavalry sabre, and smashed his tecs between a rock and the butt eni of a carbine. I After gouging out some of his teeth . . . . ... with a baronet, ami stickintr cactus thorns ia his flesh, they poured pow der ia his car and burnt it. All this time the maa did cot complain' or cry out, as he probably expected, by ; h-o f.irtit inie. tf) induce the Indians to I ku iif i',,r in tKU n-na mistaken, for thev, finding that he did not complain of thc.-c tortures, began to cut pieces of flesh out of his let's and back and cat them, or a; least pretend to cat. I think they only chewed up the flesh and spit it out. .Seeing that all of this torture did not make him cry out (far he had fainted) the chief stepped up with a sharp knife and cut out one of his eyes, and put a live coal of lire in the j socket and then put an end t bis life with a knife. "The Indians then Lad a great dance. I was tied to a small tree. I had no water or anything to cat for thirtv-six tours. The next dav abnut mid.'Jav the party moved ia a northwest course, travelio about twenty miles, and after tf: moved in a northwest course s we i li auoui 300 miles, whre we met several large parties of Indians, some of whom had been on raids ia northern Texas. I remained in that section of country with the Comanches, and was kept employed mostly herding ponies, aad sometimes dressing deer skins and buffalo hides. My clothes were all taken away from me a few days after I was captured, aud I on ly had a pair of drawers and a blanket afterwards, I often had to cat raw renision and buffalo meat without salt." After I had been with the Indians some six months tbey ceased to treat me as a prisoner, and I was allowed to go some distance from tue camp. I think it was about the 1st or r eoru ary I left them. I was herding ponies, and was allowed to ride one of the best without a saddle. The second night I took my buffalo robe and used it as a saddle, filled a sack with dried meat and strack out for tbe settlements, which I reached towards the last of the month. I sold my horse and buffalo robe and collected three months pay that was doe rue a; the time I was captured; and now, with God's help, 1 shall keep out of the way of the Indians hereafter." (ieraaas In tlsw I aiteil Stale. Some time ago the Cologne Gazet!-', a paper which holds in Germany V.riir trio mfl niisitinn which the London Times occupies in England, sent a special correspondent. Dr. Friederich Batzel, to this country far the purpose of studying the present condition aad future prospects of the Germans in thb United States. In bis letters, which were very able and much admired oa both side3 of the Atlantic, this learned gentleman prophesied, among other things, that the German element ia the United States was destined to be eventually Anglo-Americanized. To most of those who know anything of the life and customs, this prophecy will seem to have rather a remote chance of bo - ing fulfilled.
