Sky threatenintr a reg ular storm brewing one could see it r.t a glance. She stood, all flushed and excit ed, in the curtained bay window, her fair face clouded, her blue eyes flashing, her breath coming quick and fast. He stood at her side, stern and pale, his hands clenched excitedly, his dark eyes full of mingled sorrow ami passion. "Ix.ttie!" William White's voice was low and intense with feeling. 'It is all yt.ur fault, remember,'' he went on, with an effort at calm ness. "I have only requested you, kindly and gently and, as your be trothed husband. I surely have some right to desist from these foolish flirtations. Why, Lottie, you were flirting last nitjht with that Mr. P.ookhamnier, whom public opin ion pronounces a a 1 can't tell you, only that he is not proper com pany for you, my darling." Wil liam's voice lost its angry tone, and grew very gentle and tender. "You know that this would not trouble me so if you were not dearer to me than my own life. Say you are not an gry with me. sweetheart." William White bent his hand some head, and his dark eyes gazed into Lottie's blue ones. Jlut the little lady was in a con trary mood that morning. She fvlt like anything but meek submission to the will of her lover, even though she knew that all he had said-was true, and was prompted by his love and care for her. Ixittie Dlake was an orphan an heiress, too just released from the restrictions of boarding school life. She had lost both her parents in her infancy, and had passed the eigh teen vears of her lite in the care of nirelings, and later at a fashionable school, and, pure as a llower, she had grown up amidst weeds. She had Wen betrothed to Wil liam White for nearly a year, and was now under his mothers care, passing a few weeks at a watering place. Society pronounced Lottie a heart less tlirf; but she was merely a thoughtless, careless girl, plunging headlong into the unaccustomed gayeties about her with all her heart. Surrounded by scores of admir ers, no wonder her head was nearly turned with adulation and flattery. William White's words had touch ed her pride. Did he then imagine that, because she was careless and happy, she was shallow and silly, and needed a guiding hand? She mentally resolved to cut Mr. Bookhammer's acquaintance that very day; but then William should not have the satisfaction of thinking that his Aords had instigated the step. William had no confidence in her love, she told herself, Well, let him think as he pleased. Ail the girl's defiant spirit was in arms when William, at last fearing that he had wounded her sensitive nature, attempted to set matters right, lie was struck dumb with amazement as she turned upon him with a face that was white and an- ry, ner blue eyes lairi, scintillat ing. "You've said enough, William White !" she cried, passionately. "I can see now the the mistake I have made. We were never intended for each other we are not suited. You want a wife that will obey you like a puppet a woman with no will or mind of her own a perfect (irlsel da; and I can never submit to tyr anny in any form. The man I love must trust me, and since you have ceased to do that we are best apart I give you back your freedom."' "Ixuie, stop !" He was white as a statue. ''Do you mean what you say? You do not love me then, Lottie?" The girl was thoroughly aroused now and regardless of consequesces. "Xo!',she cried, madly; "1 do not love vou anv more." She dashed aside the heavy cur tains that draped the bay window. and was gone. And just then a man rose from the lounging chair beside the window, where he had ostensi-1 bly been and sauntered slowly awav. It was Mr. Bookhammer, and there was a curious smile on his sensual lips and an evil light in his gray eyes. - "Listeners near no good oi uiem- eelves," he muttered. "Well, may- not: but at any rate i know which card to play next 1'iqued and angry at White, the beaut v will turn to me.

OCTOBER IS. 1SS2. But Mr. Bookhammer had forgot ten triat. For a long time William satin the bay window, his head bowed, star ing his misery in the lace. Could it be true Lottie loved, him. no longer? j Ah, well, it was better for him to ' know the worst before it was too late. An hour or two afterward he saw Lottie, radient in white organdie ami pink ribbons, sitting on a rus- tic seat in the hotel grounds, in con j versation with Mr. Bookhanimer. William bit his lip and hurried away j out of sight Well, after all, it was nothing to turn now. He had no longer any right. Lottie had ceased to love him; and only a few hours before he would have staked his life on her love and truth. I But William did not know what i was taking place out there in the cool shade of the oak tree, beneath which Ijottie was sitting Wside her obnoxious companion. Mr. Book hammer had asked Lottie to be his wife, and had been very decidedly not to say contemptuously re fused. And when he arose and left her, there was an angry uleam in his wicked eyes, while in his heart he registered an oath sooner or later to be avenged. Lottie came down to dinner in the great dining room at sunset, to find William's place vacant. "Where is Wiliam?" some one was asking his mother, as Lottie entered the room and took her usual seat. Mrs. White looked troubled. "There's beeu an accident," she said. "Some men were out fishing; the boat capsized, ,and two of them nearly drowned. ..Mr. White was sent lor in hopes that he could save them, their families being totally ignorant of any means of resuscita tion. But it is several miles down the beach, and 1 fear it will be late in the evening before he can re turn." i It chanced at that instant that Lottie raised her eyes, to encounter a glance from Mr. Bookhanimer, who was her vis-a-vis. She could not repress a shudder as she saw the audacious triumph in his face. Dinner over, Ixittie threw a shawl about her and wandered off on the beach alone. The sun had set now, and twilight, wierd and uncanny, was gathering. Lottie wanted to net away from everybody, to be alone with her own thouuhts. Shesat down at the foot of a tree, and gave way to her bitter reflections. A voice aroused her and started her from her musings. It was the voice, unmistakably, of young Book hammer eager, earnest. , "He bit at the' bait mighty easy," Bookhummer exclaimed. "Won't he be furious," though, when he has had his long, hard ride for nothing, and finds that there has been no ac cident no capsized boat no half drowned men?" Bookhammer paused, and laugh ed heartily. "And you,re sure the bridge is un safe?" he went on, eagerly. "Oh. yes, sir," another voice repli ed. "The high waters and the late storms have just played the mischief with the old thing. Nobody can pass over it on horseback without going through sure as shootin' !" "And there will be no mistake no failure?" queried Bookhammer. "White will be sure to come back that way?" "He'll have to!" the other answer ed grimly. "He went by the beach road, it is true ; but he can't come back that way after night falls, lor the tide is in now. No, sir ; there ain't but one road for William White to come by, and that is over the old bridge; and if he crosses or tries to cross that well, you know the rest." And, with a savage chuckle, they moved away. Lottie sat half stunned at the rev elation to which she had listened. She knew the whole vile, murder ous plot now. This was Bookham mer's vengeance ! In a flash she saw her own way clearly. She had brought this on William White she must save his life though she lose her own. She stajryered to her feet, and. I drawing her shawl about her, turned away in the direction of the old bridge, perhaps half a mile distant from the hotel. To be sure she did not even know the road he had taken ; but if she could only cross the rotten structure, she could then await his coming on the other side. She reached the place at last. Gathering aT her courage together, she stepped upon the old bridge. It was nearly dark now, but, with an agonized prayer for protection, i l 1 sne moveu onwaru. j tven beneatn ner iigni wmni u tottered and shook, bhe could see, I away down below, the black angry I xrnt.f i lfj ttitrirt until I nrrrit swollen by recent rains, and choked j naici. nihil i to c bv drift wood.

Thank God, she is over safe at last! - .She sank down on a moss v f-tnmp, and crouching down, awaited W Wham a coming. And darkness gathered and fell over all things. She felt timid and afraid: but she calmed her fears as best she might, and remained pa tiently at her post. An hour passed. What if he were not comine that night? The thought made her heart stand stilL But even then she heard, away in the distance, the tramp of a horse s i ieei, coming nearer, uearer. r-ne arose and stepped forward. The moon had risen now, and its clear rays showed her plainly that the horseman was really W Wliam. She stepped into the road; she for- got. everyining an mai naa nap- j pened that day and, raising her voice, she cried, wildly: J "William oh, William!" j . , , , ,1 W illiam checkeel his horse, and , paused irresolutely.

And, after tying the horse to a tree, to remain until he could send after it on the morrow, when the tide would he out and the beach road passable. William assisted Lottie into a boat found near by, and they made the passage in safety. Home in Mrs. White's cozy par lor, where the mother was anxiously awaiting her son's return (she had not missed Ixttie,but supposed that she was safe in her own room), William told her the whole story. And when he finished he laid his hand upon Lottie's. "You risked your own life," he said, his voice all a tremble, "to save mine! Whv did you do it. Lottie?" And Lottie answered, bravely their quarrel a thing of the past: "Ilecause I love you, William." The next day Mr. 1'iookhammer was arrested and convicted on Lot ties evidence, and sentenced to sev eral years in prison. William and Lottie were after ward married, and are now living happily together. " viiriTvi fcw a i llll, if iilivj a Vllilll rv ilory Knotigli for One Man. The veneral Simon Cameron, of Pennsylvania, has been in this neigh borhood during the last few days, paying visits to some of his person al friends. At the age of 81 he is as hale and vigorous as a man could hope to be, and, although he has re tired from active participation in public affairs, he watches thfir de velopment with intense interest, and with a judgment as clear and as wise as ever. There are three conspicuous facts in the public history of Mr. Camer on which will certainly form for him an imperishable distinction in future years. The first of these facts is that when he was Secretary of War in Mr. Lincoln's Cabinet he recognized the full force of the truth that sla very was the turning point of the great struggle; and, accordinzly, he was the very first to propose that negroes should be employed as sol diers in the Union army. Another of these facts is that at the close of his long period of ser vice as a Senator of the United States he opposed the Klectoral Commission, plainly declaring to his Republican intimates in the Sen ate that it was infinitely better that the Republican party should go out of powtr and that Mr. Tilden and the Democrats should come in The people had so decided in the elec tion; and he held that to retain the administration and the offices through any cunning devices against the will of the people could only lead to consequent disaster. It is not too much to say that the sequel has more than vindicated the sound ness of this honest judgment. How many Republican statesmen there are who now heartily wish they had followed it? And finally, we recall the fact that throughout his protracted career Mr. Cameron has probably done more acts of individual kindness, and has helped more people who needed help, irrespective "of all distinctions of sect, or party, or previous condi tion of servitude, than any other American of his day.

It ai- i pears that Mr. riynn started one f i . t mnri.ini' t, take a horse to nasture about two miles distant from the '.ouse, and, as his little girl seemed anxious to go, he put her upon the horsp' roi.

He no ticed that she continued standing where he left her, and, on looking back after going a little further, saw her playing in the sand. He soon passed out ot sight and was gone about an hour, expecting, of course, that the child would return to the house after playing a few moments. On returning home he made inquiry about her of its mother, who said shc had not seen her and supposed he had taken her alons with him. On going to the spot where he left her, he saw huge bear tracks in the sand, and at once came to the con clusion that the child had been car ried off by the bear. ! The family immediately made j search through the forest, which was grown up to almost a jungle, ren- j dering their search very slow. All day these anxious parents searched j for traces of their child; nor did they j stop when darkness came on, but re mained in the woods calling the lost one by her name. Morning came, and tfieir search was fruitless. A couple of gentlemen from below, who were traveling through the mountains buying stock, came to the house and, bein informed of the circumstances, immediately set out to find her. The gentlemen wan dered about, and as they were pass ing a swamp spot where the under growth was thick, called the child, or else thf y were talking loud, when one of them heard her voice. He then called her by name and told her to come out of the bushes. She replied that the bear would not let her. The men then crept through the brush, and when near the spot where she and the bear were they heard a splash in the water, which the child said was the bear. On going to her they found her standing upon a log extending about half way across the swamp. The bear had undertaken to cross the swamp on the log, and being pursued left the child and got awav as rapidly as possible. Hie had received some scratches about the face, arms ind legs, and her clothes were almost torn from her body, but the bear had net bitten her to hurt her, oniv the marks of his teeth being found on her back, whfre, in taking hold of her clothes to carry her, he had taken the flesh also. The little one says the bear would put her down occasionally to rest and would put his nose up to her face, when she would slap him, and the bear would hanc his head bv her side und purr and rub against her like a cat. The men asked her if she was cold in the night, and she told them the old bear lay down beside her and put his "arms" around her and kept her warm, though she did hot like his long hair. She was taken home to her parents. Linked Together by Steel.

JiroU"ht out aga--t General Beaver. i T."e ft0" W,"y was "n?y hAt- "(, i Lepublicau dared to take the he'd against Beaver. There was not a man in I'ennsylvania who did notkaow that to go to the people in the elec tion districts and contest for the nomination with General Beaver would result in defeat. There was no mystery whatever about the suc cess which attendetl the General as he passed through the State. His record as a patriot and his high character as a man preceded him, and won for him a welcome such as ' o i, ! 110 iou.u r V,eI,uull.taI1 .and cu Uetn- cral in I'ennsylvania could have secured Had the candidacy of General Beaver been sprung upon the Con venticn by some power behind it, there would have been some reason for the revolt against him. But it was evident enough months before the Convention met that Beaver would be nominated in spite of op position from any quarter. If ever a candidate was indicated by the people he was indicated. He was satisfactory to the masses every where. If it be said that he was satisfactory to the bosses also, we reply that they were face to face with Ilohson's choice. Had the bosses clubbed their strength against him in the Convention, boss rule would have ended then and there. If the acceptance of a candidate by any particular individual is to lie held a good enough reason for op posing the candie'iute without refer ence to any of the facts or circum stances, ami without reference to character or deserving, we are un able to account tor the equanimity with which these objectors contem plate the possible success of Mr. 1'attison. He is acceptable to sev eral persons whose repute as roosters and bosses is notorious, and whose public records exhale a decidedly corrupt odtir. But we do not affect to forget that it would have made no difference had General Beaver received his nomination against the utmost that Senator Cameron might have done to defeat him. No objection was made to the nomination of General Beaver by either .Mr. Lear or Mr. Marshall the only men of any note in that Convention now opposing him. Why did they not protest against the nomination of General Beaver then? Has he changeel in anything since they joined in making his nomination unanimous? Did they not know as much about him men as ttiey Know now .' e are bound to assume that they knew no reason why he should not bear the party standard at that time, for otherwise, if honest and honorable men, they would have entered their prote-sts of record. That this oppo sition to lieneral i .caver was an af ter thought, suggested by something or somebody of which or of whom we have no knowledge, is as clear io most observers as that there is an opposition in that quarter. We question no man's right to oppose General Beaver or any other candi date, but only the insincere pretext made for opposition. The opposi tion may be sincere, but the reasons assigned are not the right reasons. It might not flatter anybody con cerned were the true reasons set forth. A Fighting f K topus. The octopus is, without doubt, the most disagreeable creature tobt met with in the ocean. They are found in nearly all waters, from the coast of Maine, in and on the borders of the Gulf Stream, to the cold waters of the North Pacific Ocean.

In size they range from a foot across upward. The suckers on the arms are so many air pumps. so that when they are pressed upon the body a piston-like arrangement exhausts the air. and the suction presses (in many kinds) a sharp, "sawedge," bony plate, or ring, into the flesh, n lheBli;lhama Islarvl the. making hundreds ot terrible wounds e ani mals are very common, and often of great size, ami their capture affords . considerable snort to winter visitors at the isles of summer.

"Zz ii .u u.i e vn Jail" Reef was reached, and they ! were cpon uriexr)lomJ und. The reef was about three feet under wa ter and covered with smail heads ol the coral known as Meandnna, in terspersed with fans and plumes. The boat was hauled between two of the. heads, and Tom, Harry and the others were sitting on her gun wale restinz when thev were attract- edby a shout from Will, who had waded away over the heads. "Here's a" queer looking something under the corals !" he shouted. ! "Come over!" The boys moved off in this direc tion. "It looks like a bundle of snakes," j he continued. "Well, here goes !" and aiming his .grains at the object. Will let drive at lit. There w..s citmmoti'iii " f..r a mo ment ill clung to his pear, the pole bending auel writhing about. "I can't ee what it is !"' hs? "hom ed. The boys pushed hard, but were yet twenty or thirty yards from Will when he jumped upon a coral head with a scream, and up from the wa ter, clinging to hia legu, appeared a slimy, writhing, clinging mass of flesh that horrified the boys. Will had lost his hold "upon the spear, but courageously drew his case-knife and cut at the monster, that had now crept up to his waist "It is an octopus !" shouted Tom, as the boat rushed into the head of coral, and seizing his spear over board he went, ami as Harry grasp: ed Will's extended arm and tried to drag him into or towards the boat he hurled his spear again and azain in to the creature and endeavorod to push it from Will's knee, where it had now settled under the vigorous blows ot the knife. Two of the arms were severed in this way, but the others clung like leeches, winding about his legs, doubling and twisting all the while. Will w;is faint and weak, but the rest encouraged him, and finally he struck a deep blow into the body of the monster, and Tom, settling down almost under the water, with a tre mendous lift tore the ugly creature fromits hold. At the same moment the boys in the boat, who had clung to Will, fairly jerked hirn into the boat, with some of the arms of the octopus still clinging to him. Tom was not a moment behind, as the creature had escaped from him. and he was likewise hauled aboard. Will was badly cut; his legs, arms and neck were covered with round marks, as if he had been cupped, and some of them bled badly, while other sharp bites were evidently the marks of parrot-like bills. The water for many feet about them still showed evidence of the struggle, being as black as ink from the sepia the animal had ejected in its fear and rage. Will was determined to"have the body of the octopus. So after the water had cleared, they commenced the search, and finally the ugly fel low or what was left of it was found under a clump of branch coral. The boat was held over the spot, and three spears were sent into it at once. Even now it struggled hard, ami as they lifted it aboard the creature dragged at least fifty pounds of the dead coral with it But once in the boat it was soon fin ished with a hatchet, and packed away in half a barrel, which it near ly tilled, and was found to weigh af terwards 170 pounds. "You would'nt believe a creature like that would have so much strength," said Will, as they started for home. "As soon as I hit it, it seemed to run up the spear, and nearly twist ed the pole out of my hands, and the water became as black as ink, and the first thing I knew I felt something like a red hot band clasp my leg, and then another, and then I made a jump for the "head," and the animal tried to climb upon me. I don't know whether he was trying to attack me or escape; but I've learned one lesson never to strike at an octopus unless you are in a boat." A Fair Weather Soldier. In hunting up the battlefield of Jonesboro I came across the usual score of blind roads leading no ODe knew where, and in following on through the wootls I came to a point where a fence blocked further prog ress. On the other side of the fence was a farmer hoeing corn, and after the usual talk about the weather I asked: "Say, colonel, is this the end of this road?" "Yes.;' "Don't it go any further?" "Not a rod." "And I've got to rifle back?" "I reckon so; but you'd better come over to the house and have a bite first" "Won't it put you to any trouble, sir?" "Not a bit Ride down into the scrub and you'll find a low spot where you can jump the horse." When I had followed . direction and reached his side, he contin ued : "Stranger. I want to post you in advance. When the Yankees came down here they ripped open our feather beds, broke open our chests, mashed our crockery anel stole our chickens. I never laid it up agin 'em, but my wife can't forpet it. When we reach the house she'll take a squint at ye and ask if ye are from the North. You U say yes, and then shell ask if you was in the Yankee army. You'll say yes, and then shell open on you and call you all sorts of hard names. You won't pretend to hear a word, and shell heave chairs and Ifootjacks and flat irons at ye and yell ft our four dogs to chaw ye up.

There was a chap here from Chicago only last week, and after he had dodged three chairs, a dozen sticks of wood and six milk pans, the old woman pulled him off the boss and made him feel so much at home that I reckon he may marry our oldest gal this fall." I positively declined to take din ner with him and I think I hear him calling yet as I galloped away : "Stranger, if ye can't face one old woman with a whim now.
