"Well, Purser," said lie, "look out for him, and let me know if you see him. He may be 'stowed away' some where. I think I shall know him should I set eyes on him." With this the Captain returned Iho pic ture, bade the Purser good night and went to the pilot house. The fogs and winds of the Cali fornia coast had given place to the tropical warmth of the Mexican coast, when, one afternoon, an the Captain was leisurely walking to ward the dining saloon, his eyes fell upon a face that startled him the face of a man who for an instant withstood his searching glance with out flinching as the Captain non rlmb.rt.lv Ti.issed bv. turned into the dining saloon, then, quickening circumstance had nearly faded from his pace, passed tbrough and enter- j the Captain's memory.

In a few minutes the Purser returned with the murderer, closely followed by the Quartermaster, whom the Cap tain directed to close the door and remain Oiusidc. Motioning the man to a f cat, the Captain said : "Good morning, sir. Of course you know j me, and I presume you are convinc- cd that 1 know you. Purser please j examine this man's ticket." I Without a word the man handed the Purser his ticket. "'1 he ticket is nil right, Captain, except the name," s..id the Purser. Pulling tho photograph out of his prcket, the Captain said : "Do you know that man .' Why is his name not on the t:cket ?" A gleam of sirprise passed over the man's features, as lie replied : "Capla'n, I see that you know me. What do you want of me ? Have I not behaved myself on board your ship?" '".You have come to the point at once," said the Captain. "In threat cr.ing tlie life of anothtr passenger voti have rendered yourself amena ble to ship discipline, and my pur pose in calling you here is to tell you that you must let that towns man of yours alone. If you threat en him again, or attempt to molest him, I will put you in double irons and take you buck to Snn Francisco. Resides this, I will see that you are a marked man on thelsthnnts. You wili be pointed out to the Sergeant of the guard in charge of the ppe'eie. and on' the slightest attempt at i disturbance you will be shot down in your tracks. Your fate is in your own hands, behave yourself, and, you will not be disturbed." "That's a pretty bard lay ior a man, Captain," said the desperado. "Well," replied the Captain, "it i only hard in case you deserve it. Now go forward, and mind you keep quie no more threats. I shall hear of them, and if harm be falls your townsman I s:hall hold you to account." A few davs later the Pacific voy age was ended, ami the passengers commenced their trip across the transit, accompanied by a guard of Nicaraguan soldiers, who were trid to look out for .the filibusters. Even at that late day a "filibuster" was particularly disliked in Nicaragua, the natives retaining a lively and anything but a pleasant recollection of "Walker. So our Virginia City passenger received an amount of Iersonal attention which he did not ut all relish. Rut he kept his peace, and went on his way undisturbed. Three years had passed, and the to bo ready for you, sir." With this the desperado left the room, and the proprietor of the ho tel said : "Why, : Captain, where have you met that man ? IIo is one ot the most desperate scoundrels in Savannah, and will kill you on sight if he can ; for he means whr.t he says. Are you armed ?'' "No," replied the Captain. "Well, you mut, not leave this house without being lulled.''' And, leaving the ollice, the landlord soon returned with a pair of navy revolv ers and two bowie knives, which he handed to the Captain and Purser, saying : "Here are the tools ; take them with you lo tho ship, and re- l,l'Tl he iho Till.!?. when vou turn corn or.-.;, run any ur.i.oeeary turn u.e v Ji00:c sharp and don t ri:3 dan:, i v.-.;i no x report to tiio p vost ::u:ird what the iseoUi.drel s. to y.-'tt.

The Ohio boys were quickly in motion. Roses from home and all reserve stores were speedily ransack ed.

Twe-nty-four hours later, just as Vivian was taking his dinner at Delmonico's, a waiter handed him a note from his uncle, in which that gentleman very erratic in his habits, brieih stated that he was eff on a trip to the Yosemite Valley, to be gone two or three month.?, and ad vised Vivian to consider what had been said to him on a certain sub ject. He ioided up too note and went on with his stuffed egg plant and roast, turkey in undiscomfitted com posure. "I wisTi ho knew Rertie better," he thought, with a glad ' thriil ot fond pride. Rut it was destined that Mr, Daniel Somerset should never lejow pretty Rertie Gray any better -de-creed by fate that he should never see her again, for six wet;ks later, as she satin her elegant littlo boudoir, sewing some foaming lace in the neck and slee.-es of a blaG'.i velvet evening costume, Viv ian made his appearance, pale and rave, as she had never secnmri he- lore .' " I thought vou were not coming till evening, Vivian," she said in a sweet way that told how welcome ho was. lie took a seat beside her lit Ue low chair, and gently, authori ta lively, took the laces from her lap. "I have bad news for you. my d arlin-r, and I want to break it to 2 ou at once."

Vivian looked at her, a wonder ful grave tenderness in his blue eyes. "My uncie is dead, Rertie, in Cali fornia, where he ha3 been traveling for several weeks. I always sup posed I wtu? heir to his three mill ion dollars, but, " and his strong, brave voice quivered slightly, "for i your sake I am appalled to be noti fied that ne htui lelt his tortune to a charitable institution. I am a beg gar, Rertie." Her soft dusky eyes grew wider and more serious Three months later on a golden , December afternoon with a blue ! sky as in June, and in air balmy; and salubrious and in Wemon:co3 : restaurant, a couple of gentlemen engaged in a conversation that was carried on almost as if by purpose by tho elder, a handsomely dressed, sharp eyed okl gentleman. "Married, eh ? Yon know that to be a fact, do you ?" "I do, for I witnessed the ceremo ny." "I can hardly realize that ivian Severn ts married. Who to ?" "Peter Gray's daughter 1 think her name wa3 Ethelbcrtha a re markably beautiful girl, and just the w iie lor ivian. He was disinherit ed, j-ou know, and old Gray cut up rough wdien his daughter persisted in keening her engagement cut her off at a shilling, they say." "Hump ! Iuitc a pretty romance. What do the young folks do for a living ?" 'Vivian is head bookkeeper in McWalter it Van Turnis', and they seem to get along as happy a3 cau be. Y'ou are acquainted with them I should iudge." "Well, slightly. I should like to know where they live." "That I can't say. Rut an inqui ry at Severn's place of business3 would bo no trouble." And when the stranger went away, after his conversation with his table companion, lie had no idea that it was what some folks might have called a ghost with which he hael been talking. At eight o'clock that night, as Rertie Severn poured her husband's tea in their snug, homely elimng room, Uncle Daniel walked in, large n.3 life, while Vivian sprang to his feet, bewildered and a little startled, and Rertie rushed to his side. "Don't soare it's me. I was r.ot dead at all. I'd like a cup of good hot tea, my dear, with plenty of cream and" sugar ; and while I m warming up owr it I'll just explain, Vivian, that it hat ail been a strata gem of mine to discover if the little girl was a genuine diamond or sparkling pn.ste. And ray dear youll do. The charitable institu tion may go to the devil. Y'ou and Vivian are to have mv money and we'll go to-morrow and buy the handsomest hou -"', on the avenue, and everything to correspond. Kiss me, child ! Vivian, don't act like a fool over me-!" And by that token Vivian wa convinced that it really was the si- monpure Uncle Daniel ; and a mer rier trio never sat down at a dinnr-r-table. ricKhT.-i r.iJTTitr:. Washington, Jan. 1-VlL. WiTikod ;it each Other. Ther were several men clustering around the stove in the t ack room of a Galveston saloon, Texas and somehow or other the subject of newspapers carae up for discussion. One man said that editors were more jealous than any other class, that thev never had a good word tor eaeli other, etc. A longhaired youth, with a sol emn look spoke up, and heaving a sigh, said he hael some experience with editors and found them the re verse : that a Texas editor was al ways willin to deny himself com forts for the benefit or a brother edi tor. "Where did that happen ?" "It happened in a Western Texas town where I lived," tiglied tlie young man. "Iliad dashed off a little poem of fifteen stanzas about "Reautiful Spring." There were two rival papers in the place The Rugle and Trombone I had heard that the editors were deadly ene mies and sighed to shed each other's gore, and I was afraid that if I let the Trombone publish my poem first there would be a deadly en counter.

The crowd around the outside of the building, trying to get in, was large as usual, but quite orderly for such a miscellaneous gathering in Wash ington. Elbowing myself up t j the entrance, I obtained a peep inside over the head3 of the crowd. Such a jam I have not gazed upon since I visited Tammany Hall, in 1S7-S, when John Kelley, returned to New York, from his successful canvass made to defeat Sammy Tiklen's can didate for Governor. Iniiido of the room, outside of the railing which incloses the bar of the court, people were packed in like sardines in a box, without regard to race, color, sex or previous condition of servi tude. A jam was a mild name for it. Making a big long stretch of mv neck and crawlinj; up on some- good matured fellows back to attract attention, I caught the eagle eye of one of the city detectives who found a way for me to get ir.side tho bar through a rear entrance.

The poet answered in the nega tive, whereat, the audience signifi cantly nodded their heatls and wink ed at each other. Making Money. Why some men are so eager to make money is a problem ; they certainly do not spend it freely. They care nothing for the good things of life. They seem to value money for its own sake. Most men start in life with a bright object be fore them, the means for attaining which is money, ank so they resolve to make money. Rut tho means push tho end out of sight. A new fascination springs up, which ban ishes the younger dream. The real pushes the ide-1 from its seat. Money acquires, or seems to acquire a val ue of its own; it becomes both mean3 and end, and making it grows into a habit seldom lost. The proverb says that "Use is second na ture," and it is fully proved, when tho natural desire of men fer happi ness is obliterated by the habit of making money. Tftat poor bedridden, invalid wife, sister, mother, or daughter, can be made the picture of health by a few bottles of Hop Hitters. Will you let them suffer ? when so easily cured. "Whenever you are sick and the doctor tries this and then that, stop fooling and take Peruna." Old Mother Shiptou will go back to her elarning.

Turing to the bailiff, Guiteau said he once slopped at this place, (Mey ersdale) where the notorious rope came from, and lie found more 'cranks' loafing around the stores and taverns there, than any other place of its size he had ever visit ed. He evidently did not appreciate your generous gift Mr. "Cranks." "Put your gun3 down, purty.' Gen. A. II. Cotlroth has 'been to Washington lately, trying to "mend his fences."

I no ticed he looked quite longingly at his old seat, on tho Democratic side, now occupied by tho Hen. Dan Ermentrout, of Rerk's county. This would Eeem quite natural : anyone "who has been there before." Colonel Campbell, his distinguished successor, of course has his seat on the other side amongst the Republi can members.
