TIIK VILLAGE EELLIi
She was beautiful. No one could
conscientiously dispute it. Ofcourse,
there were many who dia dispute it
though, more especially those of her
own sex. Lusuecesslui applicants
also, to her nana ana heart pro
nounced her "nothing out of the
common" after, not before, you may
be sure, they had met with a firm re
jection at her hands.
Yes, Clara Moore was a very beau
tiful rirl. !?uch a Hood of gal
hair, such regular and exquisitely
caiseled features, and suc.i a ueauli
ful complexion.
M:c held only a humble position
in lite.
Her mother kept the first shop in
the village, a kind of general store,
where you could purchase -anythin
and evcrvthmr, from a ball ol stnug
to a box of nills.
The villaire in which she dwelt
was very small but very pretty.
Lvcry one seemed to take a prid
in his particular cottage, and en
deavored to vie with his neighbors
in maintaining picturcsqucuess and
cleanliness.
Through this charming little home
stead ran a trout stream, aud hither
occasionally in the summer mouths
wouid resort some lover of tlie rod
and line an importation from some
crowded scene ot turn tut and money
making.
In the village inn there was not
accommodations for more than three
or four visitors that is to say, if
they purposed to 6tay over night
but at several cottages appartmcnts
could be obtained.
Mrs. Moore was among those who
could furnish comfortable rooms for
a gentleman, and few summers went
by without her apartments being
let
It was on a bright morning in the
merry month of May when Francis
Cox knocked at the private door of
Mrs. Moore's residence.
He was a very good-looking fel
low at first sight ; just the sort of a
face his, that would take with a
woman. But when you came to
look into it, it betrayed a great
amount of weakness; and the eyes,
though not unprcposessing altogeth
er in their expression, were set too
closely together.
Mrs. Moore was busy in the shop ;
i Clara had been looking after the
household work, and she it was who
opened the door to Mr. Cox.
"Haw!"' he exclaimed, in an af
fected and Bcmcwhat domineering
tone of voice, "I sec you have rooms
to let ; I wish lo look at them."
"Will you step inside ?" rsspond
ed Clara, who was rather nettled at
his manner of address, and conse
quently did not say "sir," which she
otherwise would have done.
"Doocid sina'l, ain't they ?" said
Mr. Cox. putting up Lis " eyeglass
and surveying Clara with a half-
astonished, half-indignant air.
"They are naturally small," an
swtred Clara, "this being but a cot
tage."
"Haw ! of course : one cannot ex
pect a palace in an out-of-the-way
place like this," ho responded.
The remark as tojits being an out-
of-the-way place was intended
cither to annov Clara, or to impress
her with the idea that she was ad
dressing one who was accustomed
to the grandeur and importance of
cities.
It failed however in both instanc
es. "There is another thing," observed
Clara, "which will probably render
them unsuitable to you they are
connected with the shop."
"Connected with the shop?" ex
claimed Mr. Cox, in an evident state
of perplexity.
"Yes," said Clara, "the door you
knocked at is the private entrance to
the same buildingns that with which
the shop is connected'
I Tliv were now standing in the
small sitting room. ' Clara pointed
to the door on the other side of the
passage.
That door," she said, "leads into
the shop which mother keeps. Now
do you understand ?"
"Oh I haw! Y'es, I understand."
A slight ' pause followpd, ' during
which Mr. Coi surveyed the roni
through his eye glass. lie thtn
said ;
"That wouldn't matter at all if
the Tooms suited, What is the fig

"Two dollars jer week, including
attendance." ' ,
VH aw 1 May I look ot the lcd
room?" .
"Certainly."
He followed Clara up staira,
"It's considerably larger than the
siUing.room," observed Mr, Cox,
"Yea; it is over the passage as
well"
"Exactly : and only lour dollars a
week, including attendance?"
"Two dollars," said Clara looking
at him.

He made this apology in such a

j "Oh, dear, no," she said, and then
she conducted him downsUir.

amusement that, is it
incliHii Uo not think so, re
plied Clara, smiling. "If you wil
sit down a moment I wiill fetch
mother, and. you can arrange matters
with her."
So saying, having handed him a
chair, Clara departed to call Mrs,
Moore. That worthy lady was soon
in attendance, and ufore Mr. Cox
had quitted her roof iic had arrang
ed to take the rooms for at least a
couple of months from the following
thursdav
It is perhaps, almost superfluous
to state that Clara Moore, being such
a beautiful gial, had numerous ad
mirers. Although the village by
name Munford was in itself small,
there were plenty of outlying farms;
and not more than three miles
away a nv.ir
: nt tiliVTi rYim tll
surrounding
quarters came many
ii-s many a one to sec ine vmai'o
i
hello, and many a one at first siirht
fell over head and cars i:i love with
her.
Added to her charms of face and
fh'ure, she had a remarkable sweet
voice, and although it was not high
ly cultivated, it was not altogether
untrained. The consequence was
she was in great request at readings,
the winter month3,
she attended with commendable reg
ularity.
At one of thes-j entertainments
c had met one Arnold Carew, a
well-to-do farmer's son, who lived
two miles from Munford. Siic had
been introduced to him there, and
he, like many another, had fallen in
love with her.
Of all the men she had met she
liked him the bet-t, and not a week
prior to the advent of Mr. Cox as a
lodger at her mother's house, she
had as good as consented to be en
gaged to him.
It is unpleasant to pick holes in
anybody's character, and doubly
unpleasant to pull to pieces the dis
position ot one who is in all exter
nal things perfection. But the truth
must be told Clara Moore was a
terrible flirt : aud, like most flirts,
she seemed to have a total disregard
for the feelings of her victims. She
would lead a man on to believe at
east in the posibility of his one day
securing her affections (indeed, the
very fact of a woman tarrying in
a man's society to listen to his love
passages, is in itself an earnest of her
ipprceiation of his society), and
then when it suited her caprice,
would throw him over and laugh at
lim.-
Clara Moore had tried young Ar
nold Carew 8 patience to the utmost
more ehan once. Ay, scores of
times she had destroyed hi3 peace of
mind by tier pernicious fondness for
what idic called a "harmless flirta
tion."
And we must cive her credit for
the fa."t that her flirtations were in
one sense harmless : there was no
vice about her. She newer forgot
that self respect which renders a wo
man precious in the eyes of men.
V lien Arnold Carew won her con
sent to be engaged to him for she

wife some day, though she ex

Happy evenings were they for
him. through the day lie looked i
forward to them ; they lightened

He had a double incentive to work.
It was not self that he toiled for
ouly, now; he knew that he v,as
working for her !
Mr. Cox had not been located in
Mrs. Moore'B small thouch comfort
able apartments more than a fort
night before Clara's evening ram
bles became less frequent.
Clara had all along been very si
lent as to the lodger; and at first it
never entered into Arnojd Carew 's
mind that that accounted in any
way for her less frequent appearance
at their usual rendezvous.
One evening, however, he ventur
ed to complain, and chanced in his i
temporary annoyance to say : "Oh
I suppose there is some attraction:
about thar heavy swell who is stay-'
Ing at your mother s. ,
Clara flushed up in a moment,
and answered hotly: "You are quite
welcome to think whafc you please
in that respect. lie is a erfeet gen
tleman, which is saying more for
him than one can'snv Jor every
body," 'I don't pretend to be a gentle
man," was Arnold's cool answer ;
"nor do I profess to be an educated
fellow. I know you can beat mc
hollow as far as learning goes ; but
learning is not everything in this

world, and people can fool and think
with only a little ot it."
Now Clara was very fairly educat
ed, indeed ; and, certainly, was what is
vulgularly called more of a "scholar"
than her sweetheart ; but he was not
an ignoramus by any means,
His words made her feel a little
ashamed of herself; so she answer
el:
"I didn't mean to insinuate that I
am better educated than you, or that
you are not a gcuueman at heart
but I do consiuer it most unreason'
able and unjustiuauie mat you
should throw out hints against
Mr. Cox, simply because he's a gen
tlcman ol superior education.
"It's very certain I've seen much
less of you, Clara, since he came
here," answered Arnold, with mel
ancholy reproach manifost in his
voice.
"Well, if you must know the
truth," answered Clara, "but you're
so hotheaded and unreasonable I've
never liked to name it to you be
fore ; he's kindly undertaken to
teach mo French ; and that accounts
for my evenings being more occupi
ed than they were.
"It was your duty to have told
ins before," answered Arnold, sup
pressing his jealou3 indignation.
"Where does he teach you '!''
"In the sitting room, of course,
"His private sitting room ?"
"Yes."
"And so vou are alone together
for hours?"
ut course; why should nt we
be ?"
"I wonder how vou d like ine to
teach some pretty girl French, all
alone in her cozy parlor?"
"Why should I mind?" answered
Clara. "If I could'nt trust you that
far, I should have nothing to do
wita you."
This retort disarmed Arnold Ca-
rey in a moment, lie began to
think what a villain I was for doubt
ing Clara's loyalty, and for suggest
ing impropriety by his jealous sus
picions. lie asked her pardon, and when
ihey parted he was 'happier than he
had been for days.
Another six weeks flew by and
in that lime what cnanges naa
come about, ine rrenca lesson.-?
were more frcouent, that if Arnold
Carew saw Clara Moore for an hour
in the whole week, lie was a lucky
fellow.
And what were Clara's real feel
ings at tins time : Alas: she hau
grown miatuatcd witn JUr. Cox.
She believed that he had grown
really fond of her. l'erhaps ho was
in a kind of way. The French less
ons lmd led to something so very
much like love-making that it would
javc token a very clever anah-st
to have told the difference. And,
naturally, as her feelings strength
ened for her French master; they
declined for Arnold.
Francis Cox was a better teacher
of love than French.
Heaven help herl Infatuated
r
atu re that she was, she believed
n possiolc that this wealthy young
scion oi a gooti iamiiy might mane
her hi.j. wife. Over and over again
ic seemed or. the point of asking
her to be his wife. Sweet honeyed
words were they that he whispered
in her willing ear ; beautiful pictures
of what married life should be he
drew in flowing speeches.
He had few letters ; but twice a
week he received an epistle directed
in a lady's hand writing. This had
excited " Clara's jealousy. Yes, it
had come to that, phe was jealous of
nm.
But a ready He satisfied heron
that head.
"Surely." he said, "a fellow can
correspond with his sister."
that had been suiucientto satisty
ier.
One evening, however, matters ar
rived at a climax,
She had received a note from Ar
nold, saying that he must see her
that night without fail. She met
him in the usual place of meeting.
He looked very white and angry.
"Ciara," he said, "I will stand
this no longer. You either give up
the soaiety of the lodger, or you give
me up."
"What do you mean?" said
Clara.
"I mean what I say," answered
Arnold. "No one can serve two
masters, neither can a woman be
true to two lovers.
."Fin not going to be domineered
over by anv man," said Clara.

Carew for the sake of an empty

city leadcis of fashion because seme
young swell happens to smile upon

arc too selfish, and too great slaves
of conventionality, to marry out of

First, you will feel particularly I

stow, you must ke-p it covered in
your Land, and when the box is
under your nose you must, with a
quick nervous motion, let your
mite fall so that it shall escape ob

quarter or any other silver coin
of a considerable size to give, you
may hold it in plain sight Utween
the thumb and forefinger, and let it
drop from a comparatively loft'
elevation, so that it may make a
musical jingle when it reaches its
destination; thirdly, if you contem

take the money out of your vest

.Mr. President. I venture to in
trude for a moment upon the atten
tion of the Senate, and feel reasona
bly assured that if 1 uo not add to
tho information of this honorable
bodv, I will not detract from the
good spirit which has heretofore
marked this debate. Since I find
that my absence was the occasion of
f.o much eloquence, I am not sorry
that 1 felt suiiicicntly unwell to ask
toe honorable Senator from South
Carolina (Mr. Butler) to take upon
himself the double duty ol endur
ance for a few days. 1 am back re
freshed and quite willing to extend
tho courtesy whien I have received
to any other member of this ;oJy
rVho may be in need ot it, and 1 can
safelv promise that nobedv on this
side of tlie Senate will make speech
j t:s in prose or jMK-try at the expense
oftlia absent Senator. I cannot,
however, allow my position, or that
of benators acting with me, to be
misrepresented, although done in
tho best humor. After repeated
votes had established their right, a
majority of the members of this
body decided to change its olliccrs.
Our opponents announced by their
acts S3 well as by their works that
they had decided that the minority
of tiiU body was determined to re
tain the present otlicors. Tho issue
was too plain to be misunderstood.
We said that the majority had the
right to decide that question. Our
opponents said that the minority
had the right to deide it. I said it
seemed then to be a question of cn-
durer.ee, and I really da not
se?
what else it can pretend to be. The
general doctrine that the majority is
entitled to rule is not called in ques
tion. 1 tie right ot the majority of
the Senate to elect its own ofliccrs
is not called iu question. Tho mi
nority simply says to the majority :
"We will not allow you to exercise
your undoubted right, because we
will resort lo dilatory motions, to

The contest in which we are en
gaged is net simply to secure officers
and employes of party friend.?, as
the Senators on the other side pre
tend, nor is it solely a struggle of
the majority to maintain its right to
control ihe organization of the body.
There U something higher than and
above all this, something of great
importance, which has not escaped
the attention of our opponents here,
it is the coming political contest in
Virginia. Tlie Senator from Vir
ginia, who sits nearest mc, has terri
fied the old Democratic regime of
j his state by his courageous bearing
j on this floor. They seem to have
entertained the hope that with their
malediction still ringing in his ears
that he would forget Lis own pur
poses and save the Democracy by
consorting with the enemies rf his
people. Disappointed in thcir ex
pectation they appeal to the South
ern Senators here to cover him with
opprobrium that his followers at
Lome will not dare to share Lis for
tunes. . The Republicans ia this
body and elsewhere sec clearly that
the assaults made upon him here
are to punish faint for his refusal to
obey the orders given him. He has
committed the unpardonable sin of
doing that which his enemies only
profess to do. c has made politi
cal slavery irnpo-si'ole in Virginia.
He Las championed the cause of
honest elections. He is about to
b-ad in the final struggle in the Old
Dominion for obedience to law in
elections. He has our sympathies
in this good work. Wc know his
good work in Lis state is giving to
ail citizens, black and white, equal
rights before the law.
In the coming state election the
struggle will be a bitter one. I be
lieve right is going to prevail, for
law-abiding citizens of Virginia who
were confederates will go into that
great contest with the knowledge
that our hearts aro with them. Our
colored friends in that state will be
glad to see that wo share their con
fidence in these well-tried friends,
and they will continue to give Gen.
Malione the hearty support Lc has
already earned and received at their
hands. All Virginia will see that
the great North i'ratenizes with all
confederates in the South who are
known by their acts as well as by
their words to be ii favor of an-hon-cst
ballot and a fair cout. The elec
tion of Col. Riddlebcrgcr to a rc
snonsible ofiice in this body will be
thc befct proof that can be given that
for all true men who uphold the
laws the Republican party has con
fidence, resjcet and co-operation.
We gibe our yotes to that gentleman
as an earnest that wc are not sec
tional, and that we have no predju
dice on account of old conflicts.
Whoever is right at tho present
time is our friend, and wo are Lis.
This and this only is the "bargain"
wc Lave to offer to all our Southern
friends who will come out from par
ty faction and grow on with thc na
tions growth. All that wo ask is
that they shall stand with U3 in fa
vor of securing to each lawful voter
thc right to cast one free, nnintimi
datcd ballot ind to have that hon
estly counted. We know our oppo
nents know that if Virginia takes a
stand upon that platform the solid
south is a thing of the past, and this

A Dallas (a ex.,) letter says
tragic death ha.i just occurred in
our neighboring county of Hill,
worth relating and worthy of Vir
ginius or any other Roman father.
One year ago (Jeorgo Arnold came
to Dallas on private business, iind
while walking the streets was bitten
by a worthless cur which was froth
ing at the mouth and showing other
symptoms of hydrophobia. Mr.
Arnold became alarmed and very
much excited when convinced in
his own mind the dog was mad.
He went to a physician and had the
wound severely cauterized. Then,
going home, he was still uneasy
and dreaded hydrophobia so much
that he hunted up a madstor.e and
had it applied for several weeks, off
and on. lie took every other tire-
caution that was suggested, resting
under a mortal dread that the virus
had gone into his system and would
sooner or later kill him. He had a
wife and several small children liv
ing on a ratner isolated farm, and
the thought that he might suddenly
lose his reason and harm his
lit'Je babes horrified him. The other
lav he bciran to experience strange
feelings, and at once concluded his
time had come, lie then procured
a twelve-foot trace chain and strong
lock and went to the woods. After
writing Lis wife a calm letter, in
which he told her what was about
to hapen, giving her directions as to
his wisliC3 after death, and pouring
out a volume of love for her anil
the children, he ran the chain around
a tre, drew it through a large ring
at the end and then wound he
other end around his ankle so tisht
that it could not slip the foot, lock
ed it with the lock and threw the
kev far beyond his reach. The body

One of them was a stock man from
western Texas named Bob Oazelv,
and the other was an old Oalvesto-1
nian named Col. William Griswold. '
They were talking about stock-rais-
ing. 1 he man from western Texas
said, impressively : . I
'1 tell you what; Colonel, there is
more money m goats than in any
other critter that eats lexas grass.
People will keep on raising fine
horses and cattle, and lose money
by it, while there is more money in

at, and he went on to tell of the
rapid increase, in the price of goat
skin, etc.
"You are right," replied Griswold.
I am a goat man myself. I've got
a goat in my yard right now I
wouldn t part with lor seventy-five
dollars."
"He must be a fine animal. He
is half Angora, I reckon. I must
sec him."
"Come along then."
After they liad trudged about an
hour they reached the residence of
the Galvestonian. The goat was tied
up in an out-house. The western
Texas man looked at the goat with
a bewildered air.
"There ain't no Angora in that
goat."
"There is money in him for all
that," responded the owner.
The stockman felt the animal all
over, looked at the texture of his
hair, and then said :

Tlie Silent Woman of MontiiDa.
( )a Willow creek resides a woman
who for fifteen years, except on one
occasion, has not uttered a word.
In 180.3 she was relentlessly forbid
den by her parents to marry the
man of her choice. Soon after this
thc family moved to Montana, and
since thc day of their starting the
young lady, now grown to a woman
of thirty years, has not articulated
as much as half a dozen words. Her
long silence is attributed to intense
and abiding indignation'at the cru
elty of her parents, and probably
J 1 ii . i
conceiving words to be useless and
inadequate to expres3 thc poignaney
of her suffering, she concluded never
to Bpeak again, a resolution which
she nas adhered to so far with re
markable tenacity. She lives with
her parents, occupies a room by her
self, refuses to see strangers, and to
all purposes and intents is absolute
ly dumb. Her memory ia strong
and accural? for one who neither
talk3 cr reads nor takes other intel
lectual exercises. Through the par
tition in her room she will some
times listen to tho conversation of
those in tho adjoining apartment,
and occasionally, several days after
it has taken place, it will be found
