IIM AIDES.
BT E. IDA VILLIAMS.
Cannon Fulls presented a weird
picture m Gay Harrey came npon
them saddealy through the forest, so
dense that it shot out the bright noon
day son. The foilage was only tinted
bere and there amid the Summer ver
dure, with Its rich autumnal hues,
and coming upon the wild berry vines
be found the fruit ungatbered, so se
cluded from the main road and hu
man habitation was the way be bad
chosen.
His fowling piece bnng at bis side, ,
bis game bag orer his shoulder, scan
tily filled with spoil, and whistling
gayly an air from a French opera, he
parted some branches which cut off
any further progress, and Io! there j
poured the roaring falls some sixty
feet below, bellowing a complaint to
the dumb, surrounding country, then
whispering in its secret creeping
down the rugged, rocky wall to tbe
sturdy stones that bad forty years
borne patiently its murmurs with
philosophical stoicism, across the
rocky basin into which, foaming and
babbling, fell tbe bright cascade oi
water, and across it lay a felled tree,
whitened in iu almost petrification.
Guy Harrey stood gazing at the
imposing scene in wonder. How
grand it was ! The young man had
an artist's bodI, and his ever-active
mind fell to imagine tbe whole per
petuated upon canvass.
"It needs some figures," mused he.
'An excellent setting for a tragedy ;
man and a woman standing upon
tbe old tree trunk which bridges the
stream, his face dark and forbidding,
Lsr's fearful and pleading, and
among tbe shrubbery, just beyond,
tbe face of her deliverer.'
lie was about to pass on when tbe
branches from amid which bis sup
posed bero was to emerge, parted,
and, instead, a heroine made ber ap
pearance. She walked hurriedly out
npon tbe tree lying bridge like over
the impetuocs torrent
On she went, with a certainty of
tread of one wholly unconscious of,
or indifferent to, danger ; one caret ds
step would hive plunged ber instant
ly into eternity, but she sprang from
stone to stone, with tbe bounding
step of a young fawn, and reached a
point so dangerous that Guy Harrey
trembled as be looked, and there ebe
paused.
She seated herself upon a stone
facing tbe point upon which Guy
Harvey stood, but not seeing him.
Her form was lithe and graceful, ber
-small Grecian head well poised, and
the long, chestnut hair bung in plaits
to ber waist
Though she had brought no book
nor work of any kind, and sat with
her bands clasped idly before ber,
there was that in her bearing which
proved ber no idle dreamer of senti
mental dreams.
1 Guy stood watchir the girl in
wonder. She certainly was not cast
in the ordinary mould, such as he had
seen, and ber very originality inter
Cited him.
Scarcely realizing what be was
about, be went cautiously toward ber.
She did not observe him until be had
reached tbe tree and was about to
venture across it
Then she roBe, and lifted ber bands
with tbe imperious gesture of an em
press she cried, with excitement that
ill matched ber manner :
"Do not do not cross it 1 It will
be certain death !"
"I wish to speak to you," answered
Clay growing bold.
With tbe same certain step that bad
amazed him, she walked again light
ly, hurriedly, orer to where he stood,
and asked abruptly :
'What do you wish to say V
I well, reallv do not know,' be
miswered.
She looked hard at him.
Would it not have been as well,'
she said, reprovingly, 'not to have dis
turbed me?'
Guy felt the suspicion in her tone,
and its injustice pained him ; he knew
that now or never be must set him
self right with this girl. Usually, se
cure in bis own integrity and purity
of purpose, be would not take tbe
t'ouble to argue himself into favor :
but now, for the first time perhaps
in bis life, tbe young man felt be
owed it to himself and the girl before
bim ; so he said, with anmistakable
ourtesy: -
'Yon are right, and I beg your par-
dan ; tbe fact is, your position seemed
so perilous, and you were uncon
scions of the fact that I thought it
my duty to caution yon.'
His urbanitv mollified her at once
You are kind to take tbe trouble
for a stranger she said, in a sweet
tine that better suited tbe tranquil
beauty of her face, 'and I am 'asham
ed that I was so cress ; but twice
lately I have been disturbed by young
gentlemen in the neighborhood, who,
bunting, like yourself, have found
their way bere, and I determined to
pit an end to it
'Then am I trespassing on private
grounds?' asked Gny.
'Yes, but you are welcome so long
ei yon den't disturb mi; the place is
too beautiful to monopolize altogeth
er, and, as I said, so long as you
don't distnrb me, yon are welcome. I
want company when I go out in the
world ; but here there is rest'
'You, so young, so '
'We are strangers, if you please.'
JShe bowed a dismissal as she spoke,
and tnrned awar. and Gut bad no
alternative than to obey ber.
Up to th's period in tbe young
man's life be had always thought
r'.rls possessed of no individuality.
All that marked Mary from June, or
Jane from Mary, was tbeeolor of ber
hair and eyes. They both went into
tbe aame exaggerated ecstacies oeci
lives of bonnets and splendid gowns.
But what more could tbey dof Girls
were necessary evils, and this young
man naa oiten thought it strange no
philanthropic creature had endowed
in asylam for the above named bores
to pass the bread and batter period
of their lives, and come out upon the
world in the full bloom of perfected
womannood.
Now in a moment his eyes had beet
opeoed. He saw a girl who, leaving
U te idle, artificial show of life, had
come oat to commune with nature.
How covM be meet ber ? How make
ber acquaintance f '
He was walking slowly along ru
mutating on tbe subject, when a fa
miliar voice, speaking his name, at
tracted bias.
Ah, how are you, Frank V
'What is the name of '
-I know yoa're going to ask what
I'm thinking aaoct, and I'll tell you.

Howdaretbey talk?'
'Gay felt himself, or dear bovl
They say nothing bad, I assure you.'
-.wo you Know Deri'
Guy was growing calm.
Know ber ? Xo, I wish I did 1 But
there's to be no dance at ber uncle's
to-morrow, and I paid Clark ten dol
lars to get an invitation.'
'Could I buy oue, do you think?'
'Uarkdn so.'
And the two walked off in quest of!
Ciark, who was, as bis friend called
him, a lucky dog, who gained tbe
entres to all the first families, and
would, 'ifyoa fed tim,' smuggle you
in some way.
Tbe glad, merry voice of youth
rang out joyfully. Music swelled up
on tbe air, and tbe revel was at its
height Our friends sauntered down
the spacious drawing room of their
genial host, looking for some one who
was not there.
'Here she comes!' said Frank, un
der his breath.
And she did crme.
Could tbis b the girl of his
thoughts this vision of Cannon
Falls? Guy asked himself.
Xo, she was a creature apart from
this social whirl; but the creature of
tbe world of fashion came into the
saion with tbe stately grace of an
empress. Her slight figure was set
off to advantage by a princess dress
of white damassej a spray of water
grasses was the sole ornament in ber
hair, which was piled in rich braids
upon tbe top of her small, partrician
head, and a branch or wreath of flow
era and leaves marked the pompadour
of her dress and fell midway to her
waist
Behind, her pocket was ornament
ed with flowers, and ber tiny satin
slippers, peeping from beneath her
dress, had their rosebuds nestliog
amid tbe rosette cf white lace and
ribbon. There was no color in ber
cheeks, and her clear, dark ekin was
noticeable among all the gathered
beauty of the gay throng.
'Waltz !' she was saying as sbe
passed, leaning on Clark's arm. I
could waltz till morning 1'
Clark had promised an introduction
to our friends, and in a few moments
be sought them.
Tbe ceremony over, each request
ed to put down bis name 'for a
waltz ?' questioned Gov.
'The last,' she answered; 'all the
others are promised 'Guy Harvey,'
she said, reading the name. 'I like
tbe name of Guy.'
'Then I do,' he answered, 'though
I never did before.'
'Xo ? What has changed you ?'
'xou have, Miss Alden.'
'I am afraid you are weak.'
'I am proud to be weak, plastic, in
your bands.'
', omen do not like to rune.'
'Men do," he answered significant-
lv.
At that juncture Miss Alden was
claimed for a quadrille, and Guy was
left alone. He watched every chance
to speak with ber, and at last came
bis dance.
'You have not danced Mr. Harvey:
I have not seen you on tbe floor to
night'
I did not wish to dance with any
but you.'
'I am sorry, for 1 was going to ark
you to excuse me. I am tired.'
'Certainly, but 1 do so with re
gret'
' w ell, let us go upon tbe balcony,
then.'
This gave tbe young man an op
portunity tor a tete-a-tete, and tbey
went out.
'I love night,' said Miss Alden,
seating herself in tbe chair Gay ptac
ed for ber. It is so still. Ho you
never tire of the noise of life. Mr.
Harvey ?'
'Often,' he answered with a sigh.
'I would like to pass my days as a
hermit npon some desolate island.'
Alone ?
'Xo, with some congenial coaman-
ion. I am of a jealous disposition,
Miss Alden, and I should like to take
tbe woman 1 loved out to some qui
et spot where no sacrilegious eyes
could gaze upon her.'
You are modest'
How so ?'
'Exceptionally modest for a man.
Men usually think themselves all suf
ficient, and think if a woman loves
them she will go on doing so to tbe
end of tbe chapter, with no effort on
their part to retain that love. Am I
not right V
It is because love is a strong ele
ment in a woman's nature.'
'Yes bat love cannot feed upon
itself.'
'Yon do not believe in love I
fear.
'Believe in it ? Indeed I do 1 And
you will not doubt me when I tell
yon that this day a week I am to be
married.'
Guy could not speak, had thought
of marriage with ber, entered his
bead ? Who can tell ?
'Yes, I am going to ma,ry a mis
sionarv ; I am going with bim to the
wilds of Africa. Do you think I be
lieve in love ?'
; 'Miss Alden how can yon ?'
'Because I love, Mr. Harvey.'
'It is wicked it is out of nature !
You adorn society. Y'ou, with your
youth and beauty I cannot Relieve
'It is true. Wish me Godspeed.'
Sbe held out her band to bim ana
sbe took it
'Miss Alden,' he said, speaking
very Cast, 'I am not a believer in
love at tret eight, but in your case
the news you 4. are told me reveals
that you are an eioeption. You are a
study you are original; I have not
been able to put you out of saf mini,
waking or sleeping, since I first met
you. God bless yon, prosper you,

'Xo,' eae answered, 'it is only
another proof of the power of love ii
women. Good nigit
Ha lifted ber hand to Lis Hps and
reverentially kissed it
'I am glad we have met Would
we might never say farewell.'
Tbe mosic had ceaced the revel

stood before her mirror.
'How surprised he seamed I' ". she
mused, brushing ont her waving hair.
'It is a sacrifice?'
b opened a locket as she thougbt
of this, and as be pressed it to her
lips, we know ur fceart said no.
'I love you and for our sake,

OIB WAftUIXUTOS LETTER.
(From cur Regular Corrcspanucnt.)
Washington. June 19, I $79.
Less tlaa a week ago it was tbe
opinion of everybody that tho eitra
session would not continue loDger
than to-day. Xow it is believed that
it will probably be continued until
tho first of July, and, that adjoarn
ing then, a second extra session will
probably be called. Tbere seems to
be a very general desire, I might say,
longing for adjournment Everybody,
but tbe hotels and boarding houses,
is tired of Congress, and Congress is
very weary of itself. This monoto
nous session of caucuses and vetoes,
of personal explanation and party
vindication, hw nauseated practical
people of both parties and without
presumiuir to G tbe blame, it takes
two to make a quarrel, they feel that
they have been treated to politics
thickened with too little statesman
ship. While it is certain that the Presi
dent will sign the legislative and
Army appropriation bills, it is a cer
tainty that be will veto tie judicial
bill. The situation, therefore, seems
to be about this : If tbe Senate agrees
to a resolution, which will probably
b9 reported on Wednesday by its ap
propriation committee, for adjourn
ment on Friday next, the House will
agree to it, and in tbe present temper
of members will not reconsider its
action if the Senate proposes to lag
on the army bill. Of course if tbe
exigency arose that the Sesale could
not get through, it migut extend lue
time several hours ; but it would not
extend it to an indefinite period or a
period of much length.
Tbe cbaacca are mat me oenaie
can get the Army bul passed Dy
Friday if it wants to. anouid me
President veto the judicial bill, which
action is considered certain by both
Republicans and Democrats, the
question is, will ne can congress
back to provide for tbe judicial ex
penses of tbe Government? A week
ago leading Republicans said that he
would not; that tbe money lor me
United States courts was not needed
until next October, and between that
date and tbe date of the regular ses
sion could be tided'over in some way,
and a deficiency appropriation bul
might be passed early in December
to meet whatever expenses migbt
have been incurred. It is said though,
that upon more careful reflection tbe
President has changed his mind. It
is etated that Attorney General
Deveus bas said that tbe money for
the Federal judiciary would be re
quired after J uly 1st next, and tbat
unless Congress made some suitable
prorision the United States would
have to go without juries in it?
courts : that it could not issue a writ,
could not even libel a steamer, if nec
essary, and thai there would be a
dead-lock in the entire judicial sys
tem. The week opans with ibis outlook:
Tbe judicial bill, as it passed the
House will probably be passed in the
Senate to-day, without amendment.
It will reach the President on Wed
nesday. The veto will probably be
sent in on Thursday, but meanwhile
both houses may have agreed to ad
iourn on Friday at noon. The Sen
ate will work up to that point to dis
pose of tbe army bill, and if the
House refuses to extend the time for
adjournment on account of the veto
of tbe judicial bill, it will rest with
tbe President whether he will consid
er it necessarv to convene the two
0 .
houses aeain ia session or not
Probably tbe last caucus of the
session will meet this forenoon ; its
object will be to consider the dead
lock between Senator Bayard, Chair
man of the Senate Finance Commit
tee, and the majority of his party in
the Senate. At a receut caucus
Senators Tburman, Garland, and
McDonald were appointed to confere
with Senator Bayard, and endeavor
to devise some means by which tbe
silver bill should be reported with
out bis resigning tbe Chairmanship
of tbe Committee. Tbe Senators
met and had a lone conference with
Senator Bavard but be refused to
assent to any compromise. He said
the silver bill had been voted upon in
the Committee and be could not con'
sent to anything that would change
the status of the bill and contribute
to its advancements. The three
Senators will report tbe result of
their talk with Senator Bayard in
caucus to-day, and then tbe question
of accepting bis resignation will
come up. It is thougbt that bis res-
itraation will be accepted and tbat
another Senator who favors the sil
ver bill be appointed in his stead.
The advocates of the bill insist tbat
Mr. Bayard has obstinately opposed
bis individual opinion against tbe
judgement of his party, that he bad
no right to bury the bill in committee,
and tbat be should have contented
hie conecience with an adverse re
port upon it

Cincinnati, June 15. Mme. Car

Von Low, qob of tbe managers of tbe
Vienna Exposition, and en Austrian
of rank, atteiroted to eocjn.it suicide
at the St Xicholas Hotel in this pity I

Tbe Doc Tbat Did IIU Half.
Away up among tbe bills of Xew
Hampsbire, there once stood and
stands yet, I suppose a large,
uaadsomo bouse, which was the;
home of Mr. Mason Brown Squire!
Brown, as be wia called throughout 1
tbe ueighUorhocu. j
Ibis boue stood oa a broad road
which led away through the hi!!;,
past the bine lake whose willing wa.
ters set so many mills in motion, and
on, on, tbe dear knows where, for
I don't.
It was the atoda of wealth and
hospitality. Xo belated traveler,
losing bis way among those woody
hills, need pass Squire Brown's
door, fjr it stood always open. Or,
at least, opened so readily to the
slightest tap, tbat you fcl: sure a
warm and hearty tlcome waited
behind it.
Squire Brown's family oubisted
of himself, hi good wife; two or
three manly soup, aud as amuy pret
ty daughters reui. buxom. Xew-
England girls, who could play with
equal bkiu on a u-uiDg-r.iacuiuj ur
1 !:! . l: i.:
a piano, and were something more
and better than mere doll babies, to
be dressed up iu rullhs sad tucks,
flounces and furbelows, and not good
for anything else.
There was another member vi
Squire Brown's family who deserves
introduction, and tbat was Jerry, a
big, shaggy dog, black as a tar buck
et, nearly as big as a young caif, but
as gentle as a kitten.
Jerry was a favorite with all tbe
family, especially with bis master,
whom he would follow everywhere,
until the girls laughingly called him,
pa's guardian angel." 1 oor, good,
old Jerrv! I don't doubt bo did
have more of tbe ancel in his compo
sition tban maay who belong to the
buraaa race, and wnen tie dies, J. oe
lieve he will be sure to go to the hap
py land of "Canine."
There was one place to wbicn Jer
ry delighted to go, and that wa3 to
church. Regular as tho Sunday
morning arrived, Jerry established
himself on the front porch, to wait
till tbe family came out, dressed for
church. And then te would lake up
his line ct march just behind thetu,
enter tbe church, walk gravely up
the long aisle and tako a seat in tho
pew. Sometimes, when the pew was
not full, be would be allowed to cit
oo on the cushions; otherwise, bo
would sit on the floor. Whenever
he took bis post, thero he would qui
etly remain through the entire ser
vice, except when tbe congregation
arose for prayer or Bioging, then Jer
ry would gravely rise too, and wheo
the service was over would demurely
sit down again.
And in this, I'm sure ho was a
good example to some boys and girls
I know, and to some who arc not
boys or girls either; but who can go
to church, and so for fjrget that they
are visiting Ucd in bis own bouse,
where, at least, Lc is entitled to their
respect, as to laugh acd whimper dur
ing tbe solemn cervices.
1 believe I must couieon that Jeiry
would sometitaes go to, sleep. But
then, we can't blame him, for there
are many far older aud wiser and of
higher race than poor Jerry who go
to sleep in chnicb sometimes; espe
cially if the day is a little hot, nud
tbe Eermon a little dull, and we cer
taiiily can't expect more of a dog
than a man.
I spoke at fir.it of the broad, bluo
lake just above tbe village. At tbe
head of this lake was a large dam.
One Sunday morning, very early,
the people were roused from their
warm beds, by a dull, heavy roar,
like distant thunder. This was suc
ceeded by a loud craub, aud then a
long, low roar, at that, people sprang
to their doors and w indows, crying,
"The dam ! the dam ! the dam! has
burst!''
It wa3 quite true: the dam had
given way ; and tbe lake was rubb
ing in torrents past their very front
doors. Fortunately the homes
around the lake lay high and dry.
There was no loss of lite, and not a
yery great !o3S of property, except to
the owners of the dam. But the
roads were coveted wait-deep w ith
water, and nobody could go to church
that day, except a few who lived
very near.
Going from Squire Brown's was
impossible. The family betook them
selves to reading, all except Jerry,
who, when the first bell rang, and be
did not see tbe usual preparations,
became very uneasy, going from one
to another, wagging bis tail, with an
anxious expression, as if be would
ask, "What's up? why don't we go
to church?"
"Xo, Jerry, no ! Can't go to-day,"
said his master at last. Just then
tbe second bell rang, tbe sound com
ing up clear and strong from tbe vil
lage. Jerry could stand it no lotigcr,
but at ouce began to whine at the
door.
"Jerry is determined the family
shall be represented," said oue of tbe
boys.
"Well, let him out," said Squire.
"He'll find tbat be cannot cros the
road, and then he'll come back Lome
again."
But Jerry, after bedaubed through
the open door, did not come back, un
til afternoon. Then he appeared, the
wettest dog any one ever saw, but in
high spirits, shaking himself and
barking joyously around every one.
Finally, us if satisfied with himself
because bo bad done Lis .duty, be
curled down before tbo kitfbtn 'fire
to have a cozy nap and dry him
self. From the pastor, Squire Brown re
ceived an account of Jerry's trip. "I
was just reading theooening Psalm,"
said tbo good clergyman, "when in
came Jerry, dripping with water
from swimming down tbo road ; be
marched gravely into your family
pew and, though it was quite empty,
did not attempt to get on tbe cush
ions, but seated himself on tbe floor,
and remained perfectly quiet until
service was over. Then 1 eodeavor
etl o coajf h'm borne with me, but
no, ho would go his ' own road, and
swim when be cou!4 not walk. I was
quite anxious to bear hia ztl? arrival
at home. "For I think," said tt
good man in conclusion, "that a dog
who will try to do his master's duty
V"M as bis own, deserves great
credit for bs disposition, if not for
his judgment." Maliie J?irr lirittg

SrrinR the Npirlt 1U Ike Body.
A complete description of tbe
spirit's departure from tbe body was
recently given by Myra Carpenter, io
a letter ta Mr. Joseph Baker. She
was treated by mesmerism for epilep
tic Cia scd soun became a good clair-
ova lit, ami eveusuuiJy a seer of
spirits:
My mother and I bad v.-ftj talked
of death aud immotaliiy. She fre
quently magnetized me when she was
iu health, and I was in tbe clairvo
yant state, by ber assistance, when
the spiritual sight was first given me.
By your assistance (Baker's) I ac
quired tbe power of putting myself
in that state wi bout the assistance
of an operator. Slo had often requested
tbat I wculd, at tbe lime of ber de
cease, put ityself in tbat state, and
carefully notice tbe departure of tbe
spirit from the body. Her failing
health admonished ber tbat her end
fvjr this life was near; but she viewed
i; with cahriLtBt1, fur ber thoughts
were full of the lift) to come and ber
hopes placed on her Father in heaven.
Death bad no terrors for hiT.
When bhe felt it approach she tent
for me, as I was absent attending an
invalid. I came and remained con
stantly with her until ebe left for a
tetter home. Her last words were
addrefceed to rue. Perceiving that
bLe was dviog, I 6cated myself iu the
rocm, and was noon in a state of
spiritual clairvoyance. With the
opening of the inner sight tbe pain
ful tcete of a mother s death waa
chaiged to a vision of glory ; beauti
ful nncelic spirits present, watching
over her. Tbtir faces were radiant
with bliss and their glittering robes
were like transparent snow. I could
feel them as materia!, and yet tbey
communicated a sensation I can only
describe by Baying it seemed like
compresed air.
Some of these heavenly attendants
stood at her bead and some at her
feet, while others seemed to bo hov
ering oyer ber form. Thoy did not
appear with the wings cf the fowl,
as angeb arevommonly painttd, but
they were in the perfected human
form. 1 hey seemed so pure, so full
of love, that it waj sweet to lu'.a at
them as they watched the chunge
now taking place in my mother.
I now turned my attention more
directly to my mother aud saw the
external senses leave her. First, tbe
power cf sight departed and then a
veil seemed to drop over ber eyes;
then tbe hearing ceased, and the next
sense of feeling. Tho spirit began
to leave tho limb, as they died first,
and the light that filled each part, in
every fibre, drew op toward the
chest. As fast as this took place the
veil seemed to drop oyer the part
from whiace spiritual life was remov
ed. A bull of light was now gather
ed just abovo ber bead, and tbis con
tinued to increase as long as tbe
spirit was connected with the body.
The light left the b a; a last, and then
the silver cord was loosened.
The luminous appearance soon be
gan to assume the human form and I
could see my mother again ! But ob,
how changed ! She was light and
glorious, arrayed in robes of dazzling
whiteness, free from disease, pain and
death, hats seemed to be welcomed
by tbe attending birth of a child.
She paid no attention to roe or any
earthly object, but joined her
companions, and tbey seemed to go
away through the air. I attempted
to follow them in the spirit, fur I felt
strongly attracted and longed to go
with my mother. I saw tht ra ascend,
till they seemed to pass through an
open space, when mist came over my
sight and I saw them nu more.
XeH Car for ltbaattaa.
We supposed tbat every possible
"cure" for rhenniatiim bad been sug
gested ere tbis, but a German paper
announces the discovery of a new
one. A woman near Prague suffered
;io severely from gout in tbe arm tbat
she could not obtain rest or sleep,
and tbe limb in which tbe disease
had settled was rendered entirely Use
less. Her husband, having heard of
a countryman who has been com
pletely cured of rheumatism, after
being accidentally stung by a bee,
persuaded ber to try this disagreeable
remedy, which, as be pointed out,
could bardly prove so painfol as tbe
disease. Sbe consented, and allowed
three bees to be plaped on her arm,
and to sting ber in several places.
Surprising results ensued : tbe pa
tient soon afterward fell into a deep
and long sleep, the first real sleep she
had enjoyed for six months, after
which tbe acute pain disappeared;
and when tbo swelling produced by
the sting subsided, the arm recovered
tbe power of motion, and the gout
bas not since reappeared.
Wakltlnfiloa's Headquarters.
VALLtr Foroe, June 19. The
ceremonies attending tbe laying of
the corner-stone of the old headquar
ters occupied by Washington at this
place during the memorable winter
1ST 7-3, opened at sunrise this morn
ing with a salute of 100 guns. At
an early hour fainB began to arrive
with excursionists from the interior,
and though tbe crowd was not no
great as ut tbe centennial celebration,
it is a perfect jam in and around tbe
headquarters. Tbe military display
was very fine.
Quito a disappointment was felt
on account of tbe non-appearance of
Senator Bayard, who bad been se
lected as orator of tbe day, but who
pculd not come ou' account of Con
gress f till being in gesion. ' Ei Gov
ernor Pollock was thereupon chosen
to fill the position, which he did in
bis usual creditable manner.
When Bonrann fthUkyia Made.
Locikville, Kv , June 19 There
arc 7 distilleries in this city in active
operation, wbicb turn out during the
season, about 9 months, between 40,
000 and 50,000 barrel of Bonrbon,
consuming nearly 600,000 bushels of
corn and 10,000 bushels cf rye and
barley malt. In the State during the
same time 200,000 barrels are made,
one-half of which is handled in Lou
ievilie. 1 Upward of a million dollars
inypsteJ Jn buildings, machinery, etc.,
in distilleries in the citt, and $2,
toO.000 in tbe 55 wholesale fhiaky
houses doing business here, U a pretty
close estimate cf the capital now em
ployed in handliog this enormous
product, valued at $3,000,000 annual
ly, and gives an idea of tbe claims
this city has of beicg tbe largest
straight whisky marker in the world.

''Vou doa-'t fcnoy jo jjad f. feer: It

break. I wonder if it makes grandma
and mamma cry so." And ia reply
to a question of ber three-vear old

"E is too little to realize it.
