Tbey were a most devoted coupie,
evidently very much in love, and the
oulv tiueftion tnat troooie
their
friends was, w by, they, did not
get
married.
1'rivatelr this question disturbed
tbe lady as mncb as it did her friends.
There seemed to be na reason why
the v should not marry. I5oth were
tole'rably we ll off ; eae:b seemed inde
pendent of tbe world and of relatives,
for the lady lived with and supported,
her mother, and bad done sj for many
years, while the only relative of tbe
gentleman that any one Knew of was
a sister at school. The question of
wavs and methods bad often been
discussed between tbe contracting
parties, and it bad oeen ueciuuu
ine lauv fuuuiu .nam un v
bad declared it impossible lor cer to
leave her mother as long as she
should live); that she should enlarge
ter pretty French "flat"' by taking
two additional rooms, which she vol
unteered to fit np and arrange in the
mod approved "Easilike"' style. Vet
still, though impatient and eager lor
the time w ben tbey should occupy a
joint home, the " lover apparently
shrank from tbe meutit n of tbe day
when tbe knot was to be tied. 15ut
the time came when it was necessary
to begin preparations ; tbe rooms had
to be taken or !elf, and of course they
were taken, and ia a short time ex
quisitelr furnished.
Still though tbe mouth bad been
mentioned, the dy bad rot been set,
and one evening tbe lover, alter re
questing the lady to attire herself for
a walk, took her to a quiet city park
a live vears' absence in Europe. This
proposition paralyzed her. Of course

was principally pretense. A few

On entering she lound a small, slen

know me, but I understaud that you
are engaged to be married to a man

and forbearance." Her story was
that sbe bad been married to a man
who netlected ber ; that some eight
Tears previous she bad become ac
quainted w ith Mr. D., who first pitied,
then loved ; that she left her husband
for bim on his solemn promise to mar
ry her if ever sbe was free; that sub
sequently (some five ycar3 after) ber
husband' had died of "bard drinking,
but be had then refused to fulfill his
promise, uud it was not uutil recently
that she bad discovered that be had
formed other jdans. She bad then
made a desperate appeal to bim, and
threatened exposure. He bad defied
her. and here bbe was
This story sugeested an explana
tion to tbe lady of ber lover's conduct
of tbe previous evening, and though
the discovery was a shock beyond
tbe power of words to express, for
ber heart bad sugeested many rea
sons fer Lis strange behavior, and
never doubted but it would all come
out right, sbe could not help a feeling
etf pity for the poor lorlorn and lovely
woman, so shut off from sympathy,
so desperate in her need, and so evi
denlv destined to an early grave, for
she was unmistakably in the grasp of
consumption.
A week after this, and before she
bad decided to write to him or not,
sbe received a visit from her artanc
ed, who ignorant of what she knew,
began to urge bis project for a Euro
pean trip of longer or shorter dura
tion. Sbe silenced, in fact, stunned
bim by giving tbe history of tbe vis
it sbe bad received, and urging upon
bim tbe diity of ciaking whatever
reparation be could to tbe uufortu

He acknowledged iu truth but de
clared tat he had been eutirely sep
arated from ber since Li engagement,
only paying a small sura per week for
ber subsistence.
Finally ber voluntary offer that
sbe would never marry unless sbe
married bim, her prayers, ber tears,
ber entreaties prevailed. He consent
ed to marry the woman be had dis
honored to allow her to bear bis
name, but oa tbe coadition that he
was not to live with her. He took a
small floor for her, furnished :t neatly
under Miss T 's superintendence,

were indications of inward peace and
satisfaction about them all, and I fan
cy all will come out right, though
few will know through what tangled
path they have worked to their para

privileges of the Republican partv in
fbe parish of Ouachita. '
After tbe State canvas,ers had
passed through tbe parish of Ouachita
itsoon becanfe evident that the lead-
era oftho Republican partv would be
forced to take some measures to con-!
trol tbe arbitrary efforts put forth hv
the Democracy "to prevent RepuUi-

labored duriae tbe year, by refusal i
bv the planters to advance to tbem
the necessaries of life upon their sta
ple or labor, and in many cases by
being badly beaten. Tbe people be
came perfectly demoralized ; not be
ing allowed to hold a Republican i
meeting, they had to bow in bumble :
submission to ibis tvranuiztn desii it-;
ism. The nepuuncan parirn canvass,
which, under tbe circumstaut-es, was
eminently nece-ssnry, notwitbstand -
ing tho peril and danger to its lead-
ers, was entered upon with vieor.
Oa Friday, tbe 27tb of October,
tbe first meeting was LeU ut the
Dinkgrave plantation by Messrs.
Hamlet, P.rewster and Gorbani. A
large gathering of colored people was
present, so proud were tbey to rally
around the standard cf their party.
The wildest enthusiasm exi-ted, anil
the metiug was a grand success. On
Saturday the Sih of the same inoutii,
a mwiino was held at the Wisner
m.. . t . ...
school house, in the town of Monroe,
which was filled to its utmost capaci
tv. Tbe canvassers were joiued by
Mr. II. C. Astwood, who was select
ed as first speaker, followed by Mes-rs.
Hamlet, Gorbain, Hardy, Dinkgrave,
and Brewster. The colored people
were rejoicing aud tbeir hearts glad
dened, but a dark cloud of discour
agement fell like a pall. cau.-:ed by the
daring and threats of the lawless
clement of the Democracy. From
hence it became evideut tbal any at
tempt at holding a Republican meet
ing witbjut protection would resuh
iD bloodshed, to avert which the
commanding cfhVer of United State
troops at M nree would either attend
in person or send an c Hi cer to mich
meetings as were distant from tike
town of Monroe, aud unprotected.
The wisdom of the commanding
officer in this" particular was fully
demonstrated by the threatening aud
warlike attitude of the bulldozers,
wbj made it a point to attend every
meeting, marching in military style,
under commanders, with all the Hp
parent stylo of an aggressive mili
tary body. The colored people who
had beea forced to join Democritie
Clubs, finding tbey were being pro
tected, at once refused further to at
tend the Democratic meetings, saving
in localities where no protection was
held out to them. Tbe most streuu
ous efforts were now resorted to by
the Democracy, determined to carry
tbe parish at all hazards Their
bulldozing party now showed renew
ed activity under tbe auspices of
some of tbe leading citizens of this
parish, who did cot scruple to join
with tbe most disreputable and pro
fligate. These men were well organ
ized into rifle clubs, determined if
necessary to carry the election at
whatever cost ol Republican lives.
Our next meeting was held at Cuba,
October 31, under tbe protection of
United States troops. The colored
peoplo notwithstanding tbe threats
tbat bad been made, left, tbe cotton
fields and assembled in large num
bers oa the ground, where not less
than 800 persons had gathered. Messrs.
Hardy, Astwood, (Jorbaui, Hamlet,
Dinkgrave and Brewster addressed
the meeting. Mr. Hardy was called a
damned liar, and but for the presence
of Lieutenant MeCauley violence to
speakers would probably have re
sulted. Tbe meeting was eDtbu.-ia-tic with
continued cheers for Hayes and
Wheeler, Packard aud Antoine and
the Republican party. The colored
voters unanimously protested opauly
before their tyranuizers that tbev
bad joined the Dem cralic party to
save tbeir lives aod paraeded res Iu
tion repudiating the Deiuocatic par
ty, and declaring tbat if pr tected in
their lives, they would vo e the Re
publican ticket, which was tbeir
choice.
Tbe meeting adjourned to meet at
Orady school-bouse, on Thursday,
tbe second day of November.
Before we reached th1? plate of
meeting crowds of men Sod women
along tbe road cheered us, aud stated
that tbey would be glad to attend
the meeting, tbey bad Republicanism
at heart, but for tbeir lives tbey dared
not come, as they had been threaten
ed if they attempted to go. Tbe so
called bulldozers, about seventy-five
in number, rode on in front of us, yel
ling and defviog tjje people to atieud
our meeting. Tbey, the day before,
had held a large barbecue, where
whisky was administered profusely,
and tbe colored people in mis seetiou
were compelled to pledge themselves
to vote the Democratic ticket. Not
withstanding ibis display of hostili
ty, not less than 800 persons were in
attendance at our meeting, and lis
tened attentively to IJessrs, Astwood,
(Jorbaro, Hamlet, Dinkgrave aud
Brewster. Tbe bulldozers now be
came enraged, knowiug that e would
bold another meeting the follow iug
day, and under existing circumstan
ces we would carry the parish by at
least 1,200 majority. 1 hey having

Juse as i was aoout to start yes-
terday morning to attend tbe first
lesson of the New York Cookiojr
school, la St. Mark, a place under the
superintendence of Miss Corse-n I
asked a fine sensible girl who does
not scorn to do housework of every
kind, whether she would not like to
go with rao and take a lesson in
b reucb cookery, febe drew herself
up with au air half sby, half proud,
and with wide-opeumgeyesthatlook.
ed almost like a stare of rebuke, said:
i would raner take lessous in cook-
cry i t home;, from my mother.
Sensible remaik, I thought, but
maybe ber mother don't know every
thing in the art of cot.kery, and per-
! haps there are some other things that
! neither bcr mother nor she couid

if ij,,, I did not an?ue th
point
wita tbe jonoglady. 1 never do. I
know its no use. 1 put ou my bai
and went to see Glnseppe Rudmauu
illustrate practically Miss Corseu's
scientific principles of cookery.
There w ere six ladies besides my
self who were impressed with tbe im
portance of the practical illustrations
of the divine Gallic art. They were
seated around long table in the
glass kitchen or back room opening
by glass doors into the kitchen proper
of ihe roomy, old-fashioned, Knicker
bocker mansion, where the school is
located.
I am sure that uobody's xother,
and I respect mothers aud mother
love as much as auy man in the
world does, could give a lesson in
cookery and domestic economy com
bined as I think those six ladies were
taught yesterday morning. In tbe
first dace, they saw Rudmanu make
Potage a Scossais. which, translated,
means Scotch broth, a splendid nu
tritious potage composed of barley,
oatmeal, celery, onion, carrot, turnip,
water, of course, and seasoning
euotigh for a family i f six, at an ac
tual cost of 14 cents. Toeu a filet
de sole (made with with small floun
ders) aud a hot satiee rcmolade, cost
20 cents; next, ihe cot king school,
reehauffee de moutou (warmed over
multoc masked aud tried wi;b sauce
a la Dauphine), cost HO ccuts; then
roast beef, English style, aa improve
ment on American roast Leef,
which I shall not say too much
about, lesi i should bo suspected of a
waat of patriotism, cost 90 cents;
next, potatoes a la provencaje, plain
mashed potatoes, lint put up in a
pretiy, Frenchified form that would
have tempted anybody's mother to
have eateu tbeni, whether sbe was
fond of potatoes or not, cost eight
cents; next red cabbage, (ierm-tq
style, a kind of hot slaw, cost ten
cents; and then tbe crowning dish
flri'jntlis Ooutle (Queen's frirers),
cm fifieeu cents. L'n'e noir (black
coffee), cost ten cents. Couut it all
up aud you w ill see that it amounts
lo one dollar aud ninety-seven cents,
and it was a bountiful dinner of six
courses for six persons. There are
not mauy American mothers, I care
not w hat section you may select them
from, that can give- such a dinner wi
thal was at Ibat cost, aud then ilie.-e
six ladies bad lea rued not only how

t f the chef de cuisine, so that each
one knevr the why and wherefore of

Tho upper reservoir at Central
Park has always been a favorite re
sort of amateur pedestrians, the broad,
level walk which sorrounds tb- whole
inclosure presenting all the features
desirable as a walking track. Dur
ing the past two weeks a new sensa
tion has been afforded thereabouts
by the appearance on the track of a
pedestrian of the fair sex, aod the
usual frequenters of the place forget
to do their self-set task in their
eagerness to watch the gait, pace and
8tJ' of the new comer. About C:30
eBcn 1 tte wejUh
eather foul or fair,
group
is gathered on the
bridge leading over the bridle path
near tbe southern par, of the reser
voir. Tbe central figure is a woman
of medium height, clothed ia thick
garments, for tbe mornings are raw,
and the breeze setting across the sur
face of the reservoir calls for brisk
movemeul.
A word or two with the gentle
man who accompanies her, a pleas
ant morning greeting as she passes
the little group of interested specta
tors, and Mi.-s Bertha Yon Hillern,
with a brisk step, passes beyond and
takes ber position by a mark eet in
tbe walk near the railing. A quick
movement of ihe arms, and the heavy
outside coverings are removed aod
flung carelessly over the railing.
Oue of the attendauts pulls out his
chronograph, and, with somewhat of
impatience iu ber look. Miss Yon
Hillern places ber right foot on tbe
line aud leans slightly forward, all in
readiness for the start. A moment
or two of waitiug is improved by the
World reporter In obiainiog a better
view. Iler face is not a handsome
one, but is far from lieiug unattrac
tive. Tbe features are somewhat
large, but well shaped, and a pair of
good, honest gray eyes give life and
expression to her face. Her hair is
luxuriant, almost golden, and is twist
ed in a neat coil, firmly fastened on
tbe back of the head. The figure is
almost w hat might be called stocky,
so firmly are muscles and bones and
flesh knit together. She is, indeed,
evidently a womau of great physical
strength and endurance, with an un
limited amount of nerve to bring tbat
strength into full play. Sbe is dress
ed in a neat-fitting walking suit of
dark blue serge, short eaough to
give a glimpse of the stalwart ankles
and luiiv exposing a by no means i
unshapely pairoi feet. On her bead
is a low-crowned black "Derby" hat
trimmed with a small cock's feather,
aud around ber neck is tied in loose
folds a a bite and bluo silk hand
kerchief. As ihe word go is given
sbe starts off at a strady, even pace,
walking slowly at first, but gradually
striking a good gait aa she passes
around the turn. It is 3,200 feet
around the reservoir, or a little over
a mile and a half.
In February of this year Miss
Mary Marshall and Miss Von Hil
lern, who had both attained consid
erable reputation iu Illiuois, were
matched to walk a six days' race for
a purse of $1,000, The match took
(dace at the Armory at Coieago, but
after walking for. live days Miss
Yon Hilleru's friends persuaded ber
to leave the track oa account of bad
treatment in the attendance, and ai
led tred unfairness on tbe part ef tbe
referee. Miss Von Hillern fell she
was fully a match for ber opponent,
and a correspondence was opened,
decidedly original iu its style, and
peculiarly feminine in its character
istics. At length the passage-at-a
ms between the two contestants
reached a decisive point, and Miss
Miss Yon Hillern forwarded a direct
challenge to walk Miss Marshall atiy
w here outside of Chicago for a stake
of $b00 a side, which was promptly
accepted, and by tbe advice of mutu
al friends, New York was chosen - as
tbe arena for tbe settlement of the
contest. On Mouday next at five
minutes past miduight tbey will start
upon a six days' walk at tbe Central
l'ai k Garden, the one making tbe
most miles in ibe six days to be ad
judged the wiuner. Miss Marshall
has beeli training near Chicago, aud
left there on Monday night lor New
York. She will wi:lk, it is said, at
Fleetwood for practice each day af er
ber arrival up to the lime of the
match. Miss Yon Hillern has been
training here for ibe past three or
tour w eeks. Sbe rises at 5 a. iu., and
is cared for by ter female attendant
at her hotel. After a breakfast of
eggs aud toast she starts for Ceotral
Paik where she puts in from twenty
to twen'y-five miles without rest.
She ibeu returns to ber bote!, and
after another course of rubbing and
bathing, eats a good, hearty noon
day meal of meats, toast, potatoes,
oatmeal, and stale bread. Sbe takes
a little gymnastic exercise in her
room, and goes to ibe park at 3 p. id.,
where sue walks fifieeu miles. This
is followed by tbe usual refreshments,
and at 0 a. tu sbe retires for the
