Seatinir herself at the table, she
drew towards her a writing desk,
and wrote as follower

open - iu !', be was anxiously
awaiting the appearance nf . Miss
Daebwood, with a vague hope aa to
tbe effect wbicb might be thereby
produced upou his nndutiful son.
That self-willed young man lounged
near, eon rersing with a lady, while
Lena Cameron, very pale and quiet,
was bendisg over a bit of embroid
ery with fingers that trembled a lit
tie, and eyes that were rarely up
lifted. .
Suddenly tbe sharp notes of a bo
gle pierced the ears of tbe assembled
company.
'I ban Joel" said Mrs. Pjge. "I
am glad that sbe is come, now we can
have dnner." -
"Joe!" doubtfully inquired one of
the ladv Kuests.
Tbe 'Squire looked from tbe win
dow as invited, and beheld a figure
a man's hat and coat, as be
thought, and a woman's skirt, dash
ing fu 1 speed np tbe avenue toward
the house, with a half dozen dogs ac
companying, springing from tbe
borse unassisted, sbe proceeded to
unloosen tbe saddle and throw it
upon the ground, then wa! .ed sever
al times around tbe borse. evidently
examiniug iuto bis condition, aad dis
cussing tne aame wan toe groom.
wbo had now appeared on the
grounds.
If 'Squire Chester regarded this
nexpected appearance of his soil's
wife with any emotions of surprise or
disappointment, be at least, did not
express it. Un tbe contrary, be
bowed and shook bands with jrood
old style gallantry, and courtesy, aa
mat yonng ltdy presently entered
tbe room, folio ved by two of tbe dogs
aforesaid, to whom sbe whistled an
encouragement to enter.
"Oh, my dear, the dogs !" remon
strated Mrs. Page pitecn-Iv ; "we are
not accustomed to having tbetn in tbe
drawing rocni."
Dear me, not have the dawgs in
tbe drawing-room I Wbr I have
mine with me everywhere, and all ever
tbe bouse. Couldn't do ' without
them, I do declare. Like dawgs, sir?"
sbe inquired, with a pretty drawl, of
ber fptnre father-in law.
"Very much in . their proper
place." tbe old geotleman was con
strained to say.
To wbicb Miss Dasbwood replied
by a just perceptible shrug of her
graceful shoulders ; and thn tbey
went id to dinner.
"No turkey, thank yoa," she said,
"i never vane iowi it s only ui :or
invalids and babies ; so insipid.. ( I'll
take some roast beef rare, if yoa
please though I prefer steak and
onions."
Aod bespnnkliog tbe gory slice
with an abundance of cayenne sauce,
MLss Dasbwood commenced her re
past, while tbe 'Squire turned away
bis eyes, meeting tbose of Lena Cam
eron, bis wiVd niece, wbo bad been
regarding tbe "dasbinit" young lady
with no expression akin to horror.
Poor child, she wasn't in tbe secrer.
Bat the 'Squire thought, as he look
ed at ber. how very delicate and re
fined and lady-like sbe appealed.
Mi-w Dasbwood declined sherry,
but accepted a little . port instead,
though rxproaing a preference for
Freocb brandy aod water. "Jt was
quite the style now," she eerted,
for ladies to prefer brandy. Indeed,

ered it inferior to brandy in point of
taste and refreshment, and 'Squire
Chester felt provoked at tbe - assidu
ity with which his son refilled .the
young lady'a glass and listened ad
miringly to all sbe said. ;
"Give us soma music, Joe," said
Mrs. Page when tbey were again in
the drniog-roo3i. v And the 'Squire,
wbo was devoted Jto music, looked
np and brigbteued. It was one of
bis anticipations, that of his son's
wife playing for Bfm and soothing
bim in hia after-dinner hours with
the melodies he loved. ' -
Now, Lena, one of your - favorite
songs," said her aunt, quieuy : ana
she sat down, and In a , sweet, low,
somewhat plaintive voice, sang "Bon
nie Doon" and "Annie Laurie." ; .
"That is the kind of music t that I
like," remarked 'Squire Chester to bis
hostess, totlo voce. "Those charming
bid song are worth all the modern
fal de rals that have ever been writ
ten," and he looked thoughtfully at
Miss Dasbwood and then at Miss
Cameron. Likewise be . hearkened
to the discourse that was . going on
between the former and bis son.
"I do so doat on horses " observed
the young lady. "I couldn't do with
out two of my own a rider and a
hunter. I delight in hunting wher
ever it may be found, nod geaerally
on that account pass my summers on
tbe mountains, though deer are be
coming very scarce, and woodcock as
much so. I wish we bad fox hunt

novels wben fox . banting comes

What n splendid fellow be was and
wbat a humdrum country is ours,
where ther is nothing to amuse one
but theatres, v If I had my own way
I should be an actress. I've always
had an inclination for tbe stage, and
really , think I should make a good
actress. Don't you think so too, Mr.
Chester?"
"Capital!" responded that young
man with emphaai-t, and a pleased,
half amused, half earnest look, which
did net escape bis - watchful sire
though be did not understand it.
"lie's a ninny !" was the mental
reflection of tbe latter, "What sort of
a wife would iho- mtke ?" was his
next involuntaiy thouxbt, until it
suddenly occurred to him, with some
thing like a shock, that this really,
after all, was tbe woman be . had
chosen' for bis son's wife, 'for bis
daughter-in-law, for tbe mistress of
bis honse and household. And again
he looked at Lena very kindly this
time. , ' ,
"You must see or Beelzebub,"
resumed Miss Dasbwood enthusias
tically : "such a charming creature !
toll of spirit, yet so tractable and af
fectionate, that -1 assure you air,!
addressing the 'Squire, "he'll walk
into the breakfast . room and drink
out of your offee cup at tbe table."
This assurance appeared to have
no particular charm for 'Squire Ches

little ceremony. Miss Dasbwood
went up stairs on some errand, and
tbey heard ber whistling as she cross

"Uo to where i"
"To tbe stables, sir, to look at tbe

The 'Squire cast on him a look of
concentrated indignation. .
Is this is Miss Dasbwood, or

ine latter l presume, sir. it is

To ike Editor oflht l kicija lUer OrrdaJ.
If a mob, organized or unorganiz ed,
should begin mnrdering people in
Chicago, and burn house ctnes
and warehouses in short, devastate
tbe city and slaughter its citizen by
the thousands; and the Governor
should oei tier stop it, be able to stop
it, nor call oo the Federal Govern
ment for help, cculd tbat govern
ment legally iutvrfere? Il has no
powar except that delegated to it by
the Constitution, and these powers
mnst be strictly construed. There is
no express provision tor tne protec
tion of the individual citizen ia that
instrument. It was assumed tbat the
State would discharge that duty.
The State is the sovereign, so far as an
individual is concerned. lie can look
to it alone for help. Wben tbe rebels
at the opening of tbe late war aban
doned the national fltg and followed
their State they were apparently
consistent, and their action the ob
vious, natural, and logical outcome of
the usual process of reasomai' con
cerning tbe naiure of the Federal
Union. Each man decided the case
for himself. He saw that he, while
on American soil, could call ouly up
on his State for bis protection, hence
tbe reciprocal obligation npju him
to defend that State.
The right of the United Siates to
listen to the cry of a distressed citi
zen, while be is witoin tne limits oi
a State, ia not only not in express
words delegated, but the right to
protect a State itself is not giveo, as
against "domestic violence," . unlil
the Governor or Legislature of tbat
State asks for help.
Congress ba4 pjwer t- declare
wtr ; to raise and support armies, and
"to provide for calling forth tbe mili
tia to execute the laws of the United
States, suppress insurrections, and
repel invasions;" but neither Con
gress nor either of tbe other branches
of the General Government is sup
posed to possess power to perform
the reciprocal duty .f protecting the
very men wn iuy be dratted iuto
fhe afmy of the United States. The
General Government can'" command
iny services aa a soldier; caa compel
me to figbi and to die for the preser
vation of tbat government, but 1 may,
while a civilian and a resident of a
btate, cry in vain for the exercise
of the reciprocal duty of protection.
I ought to lw as tale, and Ina ve tbe
protection of my 'country as surely, in
Chicago as I wouli have it if in
China. Tbe arm of patriotism was
nerved during the rebellion by iLat
magazine article, "A man without a
Country." So far as the power of
protection at home is concerned we
have no country, and there are mil
lions of people' 6 j American " Soil to
day, every one of them citizens of the
United States, who feel this. We at
the Xorth do not feel if, though we
know it. As a mass we fee! nothing
until the firebrand is applied to our
own roof, or tbe arrow of death
pierces our own family circle. With
the cold-blooded, sluggish seinb
ness characteristic of men reared in a
cold climate we shall not be moved
sensibly until the blood of the defense
less has been shed by their oppres
sors, not by thousands only, but by
teas of thousands, so long as our
own little circle of persona) acquaint
ance is untouched.
The trouble in, we have theoretic
ally a league of sovereign States in
stead of a nation. The war settled
one question against the State and ia
favor of a national theory, but there
looms up with tearful portent this
other question of the denied right of
national protection for tLe individual
citizen.
The obligations to defend and tbe
right to be defended are reciprocal
A country cannot preserve tbe affec
tion cf its people or command their
effective services which is unable or
fails to protect tbose people. It
must protect immediately, and not
depend upon the uncertain call of an
other and, perhaps, a hostile power.
A relationship ought to Reestablished
between the vatinn aid the man. It
is not enough that the relationship
exists between tbe nation aod tbe
state, and between the state cod the
roan.
The Federal Government is to-day
administered upon tbe theory com
plained of, opon the pretext ot
want
bo: a
is the
of power. Il is not a policy,
supposed sal necessity. Such
theory.
Wbat can we d about it?
A change must come. It will
come without revolution or with
revolution. Amendments to the Fed
eral Constitution requiring the assent
of three-fourths of all tbe States can
cot easily bo obtained to remedy tbe
great abuse during tbe existence of
tbat abuse. Tbe fad tbat it exists
presupposes a following so extensive
as to make tbe abuse so largely popu
lar as to render its desiriicioa by a
three fourths vote hern-less.
But is tbe Constitution such a dia
bolical man-trap as is assumed ?
Does it give power to place me in the
front rank of battle for tbe defense of
my country, and then tarn me over
to the tender mercies of another and
a hostile sovereign wben 1 ark for.
protection ? Tbe Constitution gives
the Federal Government not only ail
tbe powers expressly granted, but all
tbe powers nerenxarily imjAisd. Is
aot tbe power to protect tbe individ
ual emphatically and inevitably im
plied in the grant of the power to call
forth tbe militia to execute tbe laws
of tbe United Slates, to suppress in
surrections, and repel invasions ? It
must be implied. Protection is tbe
oo'y conceivable equivalent fur ibe1
services of the soldier. J

For seventeen years the most cari
ous object in the museum of the Ten
nessee Historical Society has been
the Egyptian mummy. It has a very
singular history. In 1SG0 Col nel
Jeremian Weorge Harris was a pur
ser on a tnited States man-of-war
in the Egyptian waters. - He went
on shore, and was at ones ushered iuto
the august presence of the Khedive
and bis numerous household. He
was walking out one day with a mem
ber of the Khedive's staff, when the
latter was set upon by . ruffians.
Colouel Harris, wbo is a man of great
strength, interposed, and the roughs
were vanquished.
"What can I do," asked the Egyp
tiao omcer, "to snow adequate appro
bation of the services you have render
ed me : '
'Give me a mummy," laughingly
suggested Colonel Harris.
"A mummy?" repeated tbe officer,
holding his breath and pondering.
"Did you not know, sir, that oar
laws prohibit the removal of mummies,
under penalty of death? But never
mind ; vour request shall ba fill fi lie J.

three natives were seen pulling toward
the vessei. ice boat contained a
bundle directed to Colcnel Harris.
This bundle was not opened until the
arrival of tbe ship at Boston, when it
was discovered that there were six
mummies instead of one. They were
uuwraj p;(I,and the bestjoce forwarded
to the Tennesee Historical Society,
or which Colonel Harris was then and
is still a member.

he believed it to be the best preserv

visitor broke one of the panes in tbe
case in wbica this ancient hzvptian

ly be began to show tbat he objected
to fresh air. Some of bis toes crum
bled and hung down over tbe foot in
a dilapidated condition. A new case
was made. Tbe new case is made of
walnut with black velvet trimmings,
and has a pillow for the bead, whereas
lefore it rested upon a block. Tbe
remains were well dusted, and looked
quite spruce in their new quarters.
