Feb. 4. Auoitor.
"I think joa will find a document
under your plats tbat may iaterest
you," euid Mrs. lijuduraot. addreus
ing her husband, as he took his Beat
the breakfast table.
The worda were uttered with a
look intended to express severe cen
sure, with some pitr aud contempt,
and rather more of the latter.
The husband slowly turned over
bid pld'.e, iQjk up and read a grocer's
bill $50 31. Oa the mariria were
tbe wordd :
"Check expected immediatelr."
"1 would rather not send ibia man
a check just now," said Mr. Buodur
apt. "it is true l Have a mtle more
than that amount in the bank, but
shall need all I have and more ulao
to morrow to pay the costa ol meruit
I am conduciiog."
"Tbid in about the answer I ex
pecicd to receive," said hia wife, "aud
1 must tell you that vour paltry
excuses win not answer lor tbe pur.
pose, mat bin must be paid at
once."
"It is scarcely worth while, Julia,
to speak so empbaiically in regard to
ibis matter," said the busbaud.
am doing a little business for these
grocers, and although tbey do not
owe me anything now, 1 can, I sup
pose, get tbem to wait a tew days
and iu tne iLeaulioie let us have wbat
goods we Deed.
They will do nothing of that sort,"
said Mrs. lijndurank. "Aud it the
bill is not paid br.fure 3 o'clock to
day tbey will send it to my brother
Alued, who will pay it and take au
assignment ot the claim." '
"TLeo lei him do a ," said Mr
Bjodurant, quieiiy breaking a piece
of hard cracker into his coffee aud at
tbe same time deliberately watching
the aolteniug process. "This is what
tbey call hard-tack, I believe. It is
better lor sailors than for us poor
landsmen. They have more time to
spend soaking it, unless whea rough
weather comes on, aud tbeu I sup
pose they dispeuse with the ceremony
of eating until tbe storm has expend
ed us hiry. '
"Your insinuations are iateoded to
exasperate me," raid Mrs. lijodu
rant, "but I warn you, sir, that you
are treading on treacherous grouud."
"If the grouud, madam, oa which
I am treadiug is composed of your
feelings 1 would not expect to find it
uncommonly delicate," was the re
tort. "Are you willing, sir, to have my
brother pay that grocer's bill ?"
"I could easily r-ave arranged it in
euch a way that it would not have
gone into bis baud, but as I infer
Irom wbat you say tbat tbe matter
has been talked over between him and
you and tbe grocer, and tbat he has

tbey bad hoped that her marriage to
sorb a man as tbey would select and
approve would be ot some benefit to
tbem as well aato ber, and Hit tbem
p considerably on tbe scale ot world
ly prosperity.
"Can It be possible, Julia, tbat you
are receiving tbe attentions of mat
young lawyer ?'! Mr. Henderson had
said. -
"Well, no, father," Julia answered;
"not in any other way than I find
bim a pleasant Companion. lie calls
and lakes me oat occasionally, in
which I hope you see nothing
wrong." I ?
"I don't like tbe way he looks at
you, Julia. Ila evidently admires
yon, aod admiration sometimes cbaug
eft to love so easily that it is scarcely
p eeible to say when or in wbai way
the transition takes place. I under
stand he is a aocewbat able lawyer,
but is very poor aad is no doabi
likely to remain so m a professija
tbat is crowded until there is no
longer standing room left. You bad
better have a talk with your brother
aod hear bis opiuion ia regard to ibis
young lawyer before you allow bim
to call many time more."
A scornful and drfjaow look was
the only answer this suggestion rais
ed, aod tbe next moment tbe youu;r
lady bad left tbe room
"Yon see bow tbat girl takes and
sets," said Mr. . Henderson to bis
wife, who had been a silent listener.
"Yes, my dear," said ber mother,
"and 1 am now satisfied tbat her feel
ings are more deeplr interested in tbe
yfiung lawyer tbaa any of ua had sup
posed. But let Alfred talk with her,
and be may be ablo to turn her
thoughts away from young Bjudur
ant and get ber to encourage the at
tentions of Mr. Billings. He is rath
er a low-bred young man, it is true,
but be is making money rapidly, and
bis uncultivated manner need not
alarm rw a few weeks speni iu soci
ety will make them all right."
"Perhaps so," said Mr. Henderson,
with a look that betrayed more tkep
licism than confidence.
"I bad no tbooght of seriously en
couraging the attentions ot Mr. B iy
dursnt," said Julia, the moment ehe
began lo feel the pressure of her
brother's determinations to preven.
the acquaintance from proceeding any
further. "But now, it you pluoee,
.Master Alfred, I shall do exactly a
I think best ia regard to this mat
ter." From that time onward tbe younir
lady found employment for the whole
ot ber life will and she bad a good
deal ia resisting tbe effort of ber
parents aud brother to compel her to
dismiss the young lawyer.
If you marry biui we shall ba
obliged to support you boib, no
doubt," was ber brother's frequent
aud tantalixiu - eutrifesuon. "The
vouog fellow is not making a dollar
mora tbaa to atCf - tot his owa bjurd
aud clothes, and be has actually been
obliged to gif e up smoking, becaure
oe could not aUjrd cigars, and
was too proud to be seen smoking a
pipe."
rhe young people bad been mar
ried four years when the conversation
occurred ia regard to tbe grocer's
bill.
Young Henderson had been mak
ing some mouey, a litde of which be
bad fouud opportunities occasionally
to give to his sister, and ia every iu
stauce bad reniiuded ber that he was
fulUliiog ois predictions.
lu fact be, aud ber parents also,
had been coutinually reproachiog ber
for ber tolly iu marry lug the pjor
lawyer.
Tbe unfir.onate woman fir so
Julia began to consider berse.f bad
uo children now living. One liale
girl, born about eighteen months af
ter ibeir marnage, bad lived nearly
a year, and whea its death and bur
ial came tbe lee. ings of the pareuts
of tbe father especially bad been
wouuded almost beyond endurance
by tbeir being made to realize their
inability to provide for the funeral
expenses ia a becoming manner.
I must take care of the dead also,
as well as the living," was her broth
er s unfeeling remark, made while
the funeral preparations were in pro
gress.
The Btern logic of long continued
experience bad finally exhausted tbe
spirit ot the poor wile, aod she grad
ually came to believe tbat wbat she
bad so often beeu told was true, aud
tbat she bad made a great mistake iu
marrviog tbe poor lawyer. This per
suasion, having become a settled con
victioo, soon found expression in com
plaints and reproaches which were
not very patiently borne by the man
who was couecious of doi0 ail ia
bis power to make bit wile comfort
able, and never speeding a cent for
any personal indulgence. Besides,
the amouot earned would have en
abled tbem to live in a style of mod
erate comfort, bad not his wile's fam
ily continually urged her into expen
ditures beyond what her husband
could afford.
Tne young lawyer bad, however,
at last got hold of a case which be
tell certain of gaining, and wbicb,
wben decided, would briug a few
thousand dollars. He had taken the
case at bis own risk aod cost, aud
was to receive one-half of tbe amouut
received, his client having expended
bis last dollar in the suit, and being
unable to do aoy thing more. I a the
meantime tbat over-assiduous aud
agonizing brother-in-law, who. was
ready to pay the grocer's bill aud
take aa assignment of tbe claim, had
an interest in defeating the suit aud
was actually furnishing money for
that purpose.
Bat these legal and business com
plications, the discouraged and fault
finding wife did not know much
about. She knew that tbe grocer's
bill aud other bills were unpaid, aud
tbat the brother bad already paid
several of those bills aod was hold
ing tbe claim against her husband.
"Well, Julia," said Mr. Bondurant,
returning from his office on the even
ing of tbe day when he left without
eayiug "Good by ;" "I tope you
have been able to get up a plain diu
tier with tbe $10 bill i lett ou the
table tbia morning."
"I have not used the $10 nor any
of it," aaid bis wife, haudiug the '
cumstaDces it will be best for me to
return to my father's house and re
main there until yon are able to pro
vide for me aud yourself also. For
the present you have as much as yon
Can do to take care of yourself,
aud my brother has promised to
see that I am comfortably provided
tor.
Mr. Bondurant regarded bis wife
for a few moments in bewildered
umuzeuieut He was carefully bold
ing tbd $10 bill which be had accept'
ed from ber, but without knowing
woy ube bad banded it back to bim.
He now dropped tbe bill oa tbe table,
and damping cis bauds, as be was in
tbe habii of doing sometimes when
trying to get a clear view or some
queetiou tout bothered him, he looked
at his wile for a few moments ia a
solemn aud earnest way, and then
said :
"It our dear child had liyed I
suppose you would oot have left
me "
", I presume not; she, no doubt
would have kepi us together. I
would nut have takeu her from you,
aud 1 know vou would not have

of really leaving you, but shall be
true to uiy marriage vows, aod Bball

you are ablo to provide tor me. But
for the present we must part. My
brother tells me that the claim you
are prosecuting will end ia nothing,
and ihat you are not worth a dollar
to-day, and it is not likely yon ever
wiil be."
"Aud, if that is go, it would then
seem ihaiyou are loaving me with
the expectation of returniug no
more."
"That muat depend, Mr. Bondu
rain," said the wite, bteeliug herselt
to a cold aud hrm look, "on the pos
sible too uuge jey of your being able,
at some future lime, to provide for

The nomination of Hon. John A
Lemon, of Blair couoty, for Auditor
Ueueral, and Hon. Henry Green, of
Aortbampiou, for Supreme Judge,
will meet tbe approbation of all lie
publicans, aod prove at tbe election
io be one of tbe most popular tickets
ever presented to the voters ef the
State.
It is hardly necessary to say one
word of the candidate for Auditor
General, as almost every person in
the district knows him, has rejoiced
in his success, and now glories ia the
fact that his elevation to the office
for which he has been nominatsd is
assured. Mr. Lemon was borne in tbe
old stone bouse at the head of Plane
No. G ou tbe old Portage road the
county line which divides Blair aod
Cambria running through the house
but he resided in Blair county near
ly all bis life, receiving hie common
school education in Hollidavsburg
He was three times elected Burgess
of tbat Borough, in 1372 he was
nominated by the Republicans for
Senator iu the district composed ot
Bedford, Fulton, Blair and Somerset
Counties, and bo great was his pop
ularity that be was elected unani
mously the Democrats not naming
man lo run against bim. Ia 1375
be was oomiuated for a one-year
term in tbe district composed of the
counties ot Blair aad Cambria, and
was elected by about 600 majority,
although the district was over 500
Democratic, la 1S7G he was agaiu
compelled to be tbe nominee, and
carried the district tor a four-years'
term by an increased majority. His
strength is with the masses ; not with
rings or monopolies, but with tbe
people, whoee friend he has ever
been.
We reprint from the editorial col
umns ot 1876 tbe following incident
illustrating Mr. Lemon's character
harry in life he, with his brother
Robert, became engaged in the coal
business near hia father' home. Rob
en, who was somewhat older tbaa
John, superintended tbe mines, wbile
the latter attended to tbe shipment
ud contracts at Hollidavsburg,
where tbev had an office. A strike
occurred at the mines, on account ot
some difference between employers
and employed, and during tbe tern
porary absence of Robert, John
thought he would go up aad see
about it. He went. The first place
be stopped in was one of bis own
miner's bouses, where was a middle
aged woman with half a dozen cbil
dren around her. Tbe womaa ap
peared to be ia great distress. John
inquired the cause. She aid tbey
were out of provisions aad out ot
money, lie asked where ber baa
baud was. She said, "Gone to seek
work;" tnd ihat, if be found it, tbey
would move, aod leave all tour little
property behiod them, tbat they had
accumulated bv years ot toil. He
lett a little money with ber, aod pro
ceeded to tbe next house, and so on
to all ; and while each family was not
as hard up as the first, still, all were
depressed in spirits aad some were in
actual want. John weot to Holli
daysburg and loaded up a car of
provisions, and, when about ready to
start, bis brother returned from his
absence and wanted to know what he
was going to do with the provisions.
John said he was going to teed tbem
strikers ; Bob could bold out as long
as he pleased, but he (Joho) would
feed the strikers and their families
while the strike lasted. John had
gone over to the strikers, aod it was
a house divider against itself ; bo tbe
strike speedily came to an end by the
senior member of tbe firm yieldiug
wnen tbe distress of bis employes
was portrayed to bim. This ia only
an illustration. His purse is always
open, and his services always at toe
disposal of the poor aud unfortu
nate. Hon. Henry Green, of Easton, who
oa Wednesday was nominated by the
Republicans tor Associate Justice of
tbe Supreme Court, is a native of
Warren County, X. J., though hU
father was a native of Easton, and
bis grandfather one of tbe early set
tlers. He was born August 29, 1828,
and was educated at Lafayette Col
lege, graduating io 1846. He entered
tbe law office of Jndge Washington
McCartney, and in the fall of 1843
be was admitted to practice at tbe
bar of Nortbampt a coun y. He de
voted all his time to tbe pursuit of his
profession, though be held a seat in
tbe Constitutional Convention of
1372 3, to which be was appointed on
February 21, 1873, as a Republican
delegate at large, to fill the vacancy
caused by th resignation of Hon
Samuel E. Dimmick. He was for
several years tbe law partner of tbe
late Andrew Reeder, who became fa
mous as Governor of Kansas in the
an'e-bellum days. His high attain
ments as a lawyer are manifested by
tbe fact that for several years be
was employed by the Western Uoioo
Telegraph Company, tbe Lehigh
Yalley Railroad Company, tbe Le
high Coal aad Navigation Company,
tbe North Pennsylvania Railroad
Company, aod other large aod influ
ential corporations On September
29, IS79, Mr. Green was appointed
by G jveraor Hoyt to fill the vacaocy
oa the bench of tbe Supreme Court
occasioned by tbe death of Associate
Justice Warren J. Woodward. This
appointment holds gbod only uotil
toe close ot the current year, and a
successor to Judge Woodward for a

Washi.noto.v, Feb. 3, 1880.
Itee.m to be pretty well conceded
by Presidential prophets in Wash
ington that ihe race for nomination
is now between Grant and Blaine,
on tbe Republican side; but very
few predictions are bazzarded as to
Democratic Presideotial prospects.
There have been bo maoy turns in
political kaleidoscope tbat the views
are somewhat bewildering. It is tbe
opinion of maoy that Senator Bayard
has a more solid support than aoy
otber man named for the position.
He is tbe choice of a majority of east
ern Democrats and of maoy influen
tial mea of the South such men, for
instance, as Jones, of Florida, Gib
son, of Louis:ana, Hampton, Lamar,
Butler, Gordon, aod maoy others.
Bayard's frieods ooly hesitate to or
ganize aod push bim aggressively for
tbe nomination because of one thing.
His State has been classed among
those ot the "South," aud some of
his moft ardent friends tear tbat ibis
might nun him in tbe North. North
ern Democrats who favor Mr. Bay
ard insist that this fear is groundless
and say that tbe independent con
servative voters of tbe North have
more confidence in ibe Sea a tor from
Delaware than aoy otber public man.
Tilden is still prominently mentioned
iu connection with the nomination,
but if tbe Democratic members of
Congress reflect the sentiment of their
ptrty on this subject be is not strong
Tbe agitation of Seymour's name de
veloped the fact thai be was a favor
ite, but bis recent emphatic declara
tion that he would not accept the
nomination if tendered to him, seems
to remove him from the race. Snould
the Convention return to the major
ity rule it is quite probable that Sen
ator Bayard will have strength
enough to give bim tbe nomination
early ia the action. Should tbe two
tnirds rule be retained, however,
there will, very probably, be a long
and perhaps bitter struggle over the
nomination. The Democrats who fa
vor Mr. Bavard are honest and earn
est io tbe belief that be ia the best
aud strongest man that cm be chosen.
la this belief they will s'.ick together
and that will give bim, possibly, an
advaniage over other ca-jdidates.
1 oe preseut condition of ibe Nary
is iu a general way appreciated by
probably every newspaper reader, but
few persons will be prep .red for the
particularly unpleasant expoenre of
it made by Mr. Harris to tbe House, j
io presenting a bill io provide tor a
permanent construction iind The
report sets forth that sm-::l m ibe
number of our utval vessels is, com.
pared with the force of European
powers, it is "infinitely smaller" in
real fighting power; tbat tbe five
first rate" vessels we have are now
io be classed as obsolete and as "nou
Combatants." That of tbe twenty
seven "second-rates" that are ' un
finished on tho stocks, rotten, and
worthless," seven are probably not
worth repairing, and only nine are in
condition for service ; that of twenty
nine "third-rate" steamers, six should
be broken up, and only fifteen are
now fit for service ; that the sii
"fourth-rate" steamers are of really
no account as vessels of war ; tbat of
the twenty-four iron-clads, four are
rotten aod worthless, a number of
them unfinished, and the fourteen
tbat are serviceable are all "fourth-
rates," and carry only two guna each
smooth bores of five-inch calibre.
"Tnere is not," say9 the report, "a
ingle rifled gun on our iron-clad
tteei afloat."
This state of affairs is only less ri
diculous than it is melancholy, of
course, and can be defended only by
those wbo see no necessity for even
tbe satirical semblance of a navy
that we possess. The bill looking to
a moderate and gradnal reform which
has been introduced by Mr. Harris
ought to receive considerable attention.

A trip to Constantinople is oow tar

Whenever the tk'i and great go,

is just no deplorable. Sjoio ide
f the prostration wbicu exists may
be formed from the meeting uf tho un
employed in Hyde Park on Saturday
lan. O? caurso a large proportion of
thote who then came togetcer are
systematic idlers and loafers; but this
does not greaily detract from the sig
nificance of the occasion. It is not
only tbe buildiog irade which is now
languishing in a condition of abnor
mal depression. Dealers in ail taef e
articles of luxury which have become
necessities to the well-to do see, or
imagine thai they see, ruin aod bank

quise, and loras generally were no;
ia London, tney were in England,
and the stroaa of commerce between
the capital and the country-seats o?
tbe nobility and gentry flowed stead
ily.
Now they have crossed tbe Fes,
and the only chance which the Lon
don trader has of securing their pat
ronage wonld be to found branch es
tablishments on the shores of tbe
Mediterranean. The evil, as far as
tbe trader is concerned, is aggravated
by the malign influence of co-operation.
If the superstitious belief in
the superior excellence of tDe stores
continue?, aad if the habit of spending
four or five month3 of every year
abroad becomes confirmed among the
aristocracy, the London tradesman
will Booner or later become as discon
tented as the Irish tenantry. They
will not be without a good reason for
a dissatisfaction which may be des
tined to have some naforseen malts.
If they choose to make their power
felt at the polling-booths when a gen
eral election comes, there is notLinz
to prevent their doing so; and, if they
chose to do so, one can scarcely be
surprised. With an appeal to tbe
constituencies loomiog in the near fu
ture, the political wisdom of this
novel sort of hegira is a: leas: questionable.
Dessib of A. E. Borle.
Philadelphia, Feb. Adolph
E. Borie, ex-Secretary of the Navy,
died this morning. He died at his
residence here at half-past three o'
clock this morning, in the seventy-
first year of Lis age. He bad been in
ill health for a long time, and his de
mise is attributed by the physicians
in a general breaking bowa of the
system.
Mr. Borie was one of the leading
citizens of Philadelphia, and.was fore
most in all tbe enterprises underta
ken for her benefit and prosperity.
He was one of the wisest, most earn
est, most efficient and most liberal
workers on the side of the Republi
can party. He was one of the found
ers of the Union League of Philadel
phia, and was one of its vice presi
dents from the date of its organiza
tion. In tbat capacity he became
acquainted with General Grant, who,
upon his inauguration as President
in 1S69, appointed Mr. Borie Secre
tary of the Navy, an office which he
administered, during his retention of
the portfolio, with the energy, intel
ligence and integrity lor which he
was bo distinguished, thereby gain
ing the confidencu and respect of the
whole country. Mr. Borie was a
Presidential elector from Pennsylva
nia ia 1372. When General Grant
started on his tour of the world he
was accompanied by his warm frieod
Mr. Borie, who parted company with
bim at a point ia Enrope. la Mr.
Borie's death Philadelphia loses a
citizen wbo ever had at heart the
welfare of his native city, and whose
quiet deeds added much lustre to ber
escutcheon.

Tbe dancing; lasted ontil three o'clock

"Yes," said the old lady aa she
wiped her eyes and proceeded to tell
sympathising neighbors about the
elopement of ber daughter "Ye?,
Mrs. Blobb?, you may well say it ar'
a dreadful stroke. 1 ain't had such
another shock since that last speil o'
rhumatiz. To think a darter tf nine
would d. such a disgraceful thing
after ail the care an' affection me an'
her father ra7isheJ oa her, from her
infancy up. I couldn't bear up under
the aniiction nohow.
"Did you not Bupicion that they
were contemplating sach amove?"
asked the neighbor.
"No, we never sospicioned nary
contemplation. After I'd runned the
conceited upstart off the prenvsej
with the mop I didn't think he'd
have insnrance to speak to Samantby
agin. An' she seemed to appear so
consigned that I never respected her
of having any underhanded conten
tions. But ail the time so I've
beered since they used to meet
clandestinely, when I thought Sa
mantny was at meetin,' aaT decoct
their plan to ruo off an' elope. Well.
Samantby has made he: bed and
she'll have to lie on it. I wash my
hands ot the ongratefal girl from this
time forthwith."
"Did yon make any effort to inter
cept them?"
"No ; you see, we didn't know it,
or else we'd a intercepted 'em wittia
an inch of their lives."
"I mean did you try to have them
stopped when yoa found they were
gone?"
"Yes, indeed. Father telescoped
to five or six towns, an' gave tbeir
prescription cost him a lot o' mon
ey, too ; bat he said he wouldn't
mind .ependin' the price of a eow to
get Samanthy back. But we never
beered nothin' from them, and I told
father to let 'em alone, and they'd
come home after a while with five or
six children behind 'em. But I tell
yoo. Mrs. Blobbs, they shan't set a
foot ia this house except over the
dead body of my defunct corpse.
