A TERRIBLE TRAGEDY.

Well, real! v now."'
M r. I r.t kett pat at his little round j
jjii.. . in the cool shadow of thei
virien. breakfastin? on
buttered
toast, and cofiee fragrant as Arabian : 'Miss Pidgeons, Mid the consU
cales. jb!o.
He had hi theory about the jrrav
itating power of the world, but he
liked fully as well to hear about the
latest quarrel between Mrs. Squire
Alien aud litr BlsUT, iiie jtarsuuo
wife.
"A meddlesome old baboon !" said
prettr Alice Dexter, when she caught
Mr. Duckett looking in at the win
dow one day, to see whether the tall
voung man bv the chimney piece
was llenry ke or Walter Fitz
william, "A most intelligent person, said
Mr. Mountniorris, when Mr. Duck
ett confidentially informed him that
he had overheard, behind the stable
door, an active flirtation between
Petey, the maid, and Arwmus, the
hired man. . .
"I don't believe in all this kissing
and hugtring," said Mr. Duckett.
"And 1 thought perhaps you
would like to know."
So that the public opinion of Stan
dale was pretty equally divided on
the subject of old Mr. Duckett
He had been up nearly all night,
with a telescope, looking for a new
comet, and consequently was break
fasting rather later than usual, with
Mrs. Hopkins, his landlady, wait
ing on imu, in her very best cap and
apron..
"Yes," said Mrs. Hopkins, as she
brought in a fresh fried egg on a
piece of toast, '"it's really true this
tim to Mr. Pavsley."
-And they do say that Dolly Dut
ton is ferocious enough to kill her,
for every one know that Parsley
has been playing fast and loose with
Dolly these three years, and has only
thrown her over now because Miss
Pidgeon's old uncle has left her three
thousand dollars, and a set of silver
Kpoons."
'Hum r said Mr. Duckett, be
tween his sips of coffee.
"Very extraordinary." '
"Though for my part," said Mrs.
Hopkins, "I never could see what
there was about Alphonso Paysley
to take the fancy of the girls."
"Hut I should not wonder if Dol
ly Dutton sued nim for breach of
promise vet."
Mr. Duckelt was very much inter
ested in all this.
He had seen Miss Pidgeon once
a tail. iale, lean female in specta
cles, of some four and twenty sauless
summers, and he knew that Alphon-
Paysley was the clerk in the vil
lage store, a sort of gay Lothario on
a small scale.
And pretty Dolly Dutton often
came in to help Mrs. Hopkins with
her churning, preserving and house
hold saturnalias of that nature a
rosy, pink cheeked young damsel
with a'dimple on her chin, a mis
chievous gleam under her pearly
lashes, and a mortal fear of the lodg
er's telescope, which, in her own
mind, she could not altogether dis
associate from a camera.
'Miss Pidgeon engaged!' repeated
Mr. Duckett, as he pushed his plate
to one side.
'Then there's hope for the oldest
and unliest of us all eh, Mrs. Hop
kins?' Kven me?'
'La, sir,' said the landlady, 'there
ain't any reason you should't have
your pick aid choice ol the nnesi la
dies of the land.'
'Do you know of any pretty girls
that would take pity on an ugly old
bachelor like me?
'Plenty of them, sir,' said Mrs
I Tonkins.
'Then,' said Mr. Duckett, sudden
ly changing the subject, 'pack my
bag, Mrs. Hopkins, it you please.'
'I am sroina up in the woodg to
follow the course of the geological
strata that underlie this locality.
Dear me. 6ir.' said Mrs. Hopkins
'I shall be cone two days,' said
the philosopher.
'Very well, sir.'
And" when the sage was gone, she
eat down to her household mend
ing with a sigh.
"I really do miss that dear old gen
tleman when he's gone.'
'It's rather hard to be left without
even a cat to talk to.
It was two days before Mr. Duck
via fame home, and when he did
come home he bounced into the sit
ting room in a manner which Mrs.
Hopkins afterwards remarked, near
ly frightened her out of a years
growth.
'Mrs. Hopkins,' he cried, 'where U
the constable s house 7
'The constable, sir,' repeated Mrs
llonkins.
'It's on the corner of the old mill
road the red, brick cottage with the
creepers all over it'
'But begging your pardon, sir,
what can you possibly want with the
constable ?'
Woman,' hissed Mr. Duckett le
tween his set teeth, 'there !.a been
a terrible tragedy !'
'It must le investigated.'
Sir?' said Mrs. Hopkius, more be
wildered than ever.
'Is it possible that you hav'nt
beard of it ?
'Heard what?'
Oi the murder.'
'Bless and pave us, sir, 6he said,
jumping op.
'What are you talking About ?'
He looked intently at her.
'Woman,' said he", 'have you seen
Mi Pidgeon lately?'
'Well, now, that you mention it, j
I hav not,' said" Mrs. 5Hopkins,
wondering greatly.
But l u told she s gone to Low
ell, a visiting.'
He uttered a groan.
'Look at this,' he said 'a piece of
crumpled paper which I found be
aide a brook, a few miles from this
place,'
'Evidently a portion of the guilty
corre? pon d ence.
'You will perceive that it is not!1 wi" ) y and get me for
e caligrapVy of a cultured ,.i'y 1 ,eorge-I know hops are
the
sou.
And Mrs. Hopkins read on
torn and etauud piece of note paper,
the fallowing words :
-poor p he he pidgeon is
'Dolly Dutton done did it with
Ratt poyeon, don't Tel anyone, she.
is bemad out under the willow

All the rest was torn away, hut
Tin. Hopkins L&d already read more
than enough.
'It aia't possible,' a&id she, turn

Dolly Duties, sitting singinr at

lliais wu.nt. liie an b.-.
I am innocent,
pleaded IJoUy,
hysterically.
'That's for the judge and jury to
decide,' he said.
There was a great crowd that af
ternoon around the old willow tree,
a well known gnarled veteran, on
the edge of a merry little rivulet
All the spades and picks in the
neighborhood were in requisition.
Dolly, the implied murderess, was
strong guard, until they could take !
ber to the neighboring" jail, and Al- j
t Mm. llnnkina house, unaer a
nhonso Pavslev. at Mr. Duckett s
suggestion, had been arrested as an
accomplice.
"Why don't they tell me on what
evidence they have uared to arrest
me?' said poor Dolly.
'Them weren't my orders, said
the constable, who, in truth and in
fact, was as much in the dark as
Dolly herself.
But the spades and the picks, after
much diligent labor, produced no
commensurate effect
I'm blessed if I believe there's
anything there, said the biggest of
the excavators, and at the same mo
ment there was a murmur through
out the little crowd, and a woman
pressed her way through, and MiaS
Phoebe Pidgeon herself stood in
the front rank.
What on earth are you all doing?
said she.
Simons told me that I was mur
dered. If it really is the case, I do not
know it myself yet
The diggers dropped their imple
ments; the undertakers wagon be
gun to back down the road as quiet
ly as possible ; the crowd stood open
mouthed.
Then, said Mr. Duckett, Mow do
you account for this letter?
Just then a tiny little hand pluck
ed at his sleeve.
It's my letter, said Squire Allen's
little hired boy.
I wrote it to Billy Bliss.
It's about my pet pigeon my
Phebe's dove.
Dolly Dutton kept it at at her
house for me, and it got poisoned
nilhsoiie of the stuff she got to poi
son rats.
Then, gasped Mr. Duckett,
whv
didn't we find it then?
Caute I took it up vesteraay, said
the boy, whimpering, and buried it
in our own back yard, so I could
look at its grave.
There is nothing so quickly turn
ed as the tide of public feeling.
"Its all Daddy lhickett sown pie,
shouted an irreverent young man.
I hope he's sati.!ied with the way
he's baked it.
So Dolly Dutton was released with
many apologies ; Alphonso i'jysiey
was notified that ne need no longer
consider himself under aircst : Miss
Pidgeon went home, to find her
house in possesion ot hall a dozen
artists of illustrated papers; and
Mr. Duckett disappeared.

A Bishop'a Eperlen?e of Death.
In a sermon in the Talnmiacle
Methodist Episcopal church, Phila
delphia, one Sunday, Bishop Bow
man, ot St. Louis', related the follow
ing: "On my return from Japan I
p readied in California, and proba
bly overworked myself, and on the
last Sunday in February, after hold
ing divine Bervice in my St Louis
church, I returned home, where I
was immediately taken sick with a
lingering fever, which the physician
predicted would end fatally. At
this point I seemed to fill into a
kind of ecstacy,when I actually did
not know whether I was alive or
dead. I imagined that I was on
board a most magnificent ship, and
heard the captain say, "Stop her 1"
and which I thought to be the voice
of my Divine Master, when my
young eighteen months old child,
who had died twenty years ago. came
to me and said that she had heard
that I was coming, and had come to
meet me.
After some little conver-1
nation, which I do not recollect, she
said, "Do you not think that 1 have
grown, papa:

Mie then rose in a
which I have never
before witnessed, and never more
expect to see until I die, and then
returned to her usual state, saving
that she had come in that shane to
see if I should know her. She then
said that many friends had asked
after me and were awaiting mv com-i
ing, and that an old lad y and gen -
tleman had taken her up 'and kissed
ber, and saving thai her papa was
their boy. I then asked her where j
ber mamma was. "Oh she is off:
doinj something for the Lord, but
will be at thje wharf to meet us on j
our arrival. ' All this left an im-j
pression upon me iy the magnih-

was a season, of great preoiousness

not hurt. Mr. Vanderbilt was fright
ened. He doesn't care much for
human life, but on this glad Christ
mas day he did not want to run over
anybody. Bad enough for his rail
road to "crush, pierce, and burn the
life out of them. There was a dif
ference between that and actually
doing it himself. He felt so glad
when he saw the lad 6afe and sound
that he who had just been preparing
to rush on, in the hope that he had
not been recognized, pulled up and
beckoned the boy to him. "Here,
Johnny," he said, here's a dollar,
Don,t you try t cross roads that
way again
"Why, eir, I was running for a
doctor. Father told me to hurry up,
cause he 'ad to go out and mother's
all alone."
"Why does four father go out on
Christmas Day? To the rumshop,
I suppose," said Mr. Vanderbilt,
frowning.
"Xo, 6ir. Father works on the
railroad, and if he misses a day he
gets docked."
'Even Christmas?"
"Yes, sir. Mr. Vanderbilt don't
let up on anybody 'cause it's Christ
mas." "He work3 for Vanderbilt, does
he?''
"That he does, and mores the bad
luck of it, a3 he sava."
"Why?'
"Well, you see mother's sick, and
father has been staying up nights
with her, and then he'd take a nap,
and twice he got late to the switch
and got Cued a quarter each time."
"IIow much does he get a day?"
"One dollar, sir."
"Seventv-five cents a day? Good
God! aiu! a sick wife at that,"
thought Mr. Vanderbilt, and his
heart misgave him. Was this right
after all? "And what sort of a
Christmas dinner will vou have to
day?" he asked.
"We don't get uone. Father ain't
home and mother's sick. The
mouey's got to go for to buy medi
cine, you see, sir."
This was hard and no mistake.
"Will you take me to your house?"
asked Mr. Vanderbilt.
"Yes, sir; it's right here, Bir," said
the boy.
It was a picture of desolation, but
cleanly; no carpet, hut a good, sub
stantial cottage; a small 6prig of
firs, a woman sitting in an easy
chair, thin, pale, but cheerful. When
Mr. Vanderbilt entered, the woman
exclaimed:
"Why, you're not the doctor, sir?"
"No, my good woman, but I came
from him; he is very busy. Now,
what is the matter with you?"
"Weakness, sir."
"What from?
"Well, sir, I hate to say, but I
think it's from want of food."
T thought bo," and Mr. Vander
bilt turned around and put a S50
bill in an envelope and also his
card.

Before the sick woman could say
anything he was out and off, but as
he rode back to his palace yesterday
afternoon his face looked the picture
of good nature. He smiled and
laughed to himself so that people
turned round and exclaimed:
"What can he the matter with
William H?"
When anybody looked at him he
did not pale, and the rattle of his
wheels over the hard road made
rythmic music to the jovous beating
of his heart It was the merriest

A Cry for Leader.
Charles Emory Smith, iu chief j
editor. U-legraphed a long, able and I
very stirring editorial to the Pram on
Monday morning, which showed thei
desperate straights in wluch the!
Tariff then was, with Kelley confess
ing to successful Democratic ob
struction in the House, and with
New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania
left in the Senate to their own re
sources by New England and the
extreme Vest, whose industries had
been cared for with a view to divide
the friends of the Tariff. Mr. Smith's
appeal was for a community ot
Tariff interests, and such a leader
ship as would keep in steady line a
majority which needs only disci
pline, firmness and great leadership
to accomplish all. The editorial tel
egram closes with these words: "Oh!
for night or Blucher!" "Oh ! for
night or the timely appearance of
invigorating Republican leadership."
This exclamation not only well
described the Tariff situation, but a
general political situation brought
about by a mad cry against true and
tried leaders, and a mad rush to pull
them down. Even worse than this
was the twin folly which cried for
ever increasing rights to minorities.
We have the sequel in minorities
binding with loose and rattling
chains a majority, which for want
of brave leadership has feared to
shake off its shackles. Kasson
would have done it with a rule
which says simply that a majority,
in emergencies, should have the
power to select important measures
on which the vote shall first be tak
en. Kelley would have backed the
rule, but the men on the outskirts,
those making up driftwood, the more
conservative, the timid, and the rep
resentative remains of weak and
purile politics, begged that hesita
tion might rule the hour, while the
Democrats in single chorii3 from
Randall to Carlisle howled their ob
structive epithets and threats until
the air was sulphurous with Free
Trade fireworks.
Could such threats appall men
like Blaine, Conkling, Windom, Fer
ry and others who have fallen before!
the weakening cries of faction?
fallen in au epoch which struck at
all leadership an era wherein every
appeal was rather to political cow
ardice than courage. If the more
manly politics which supported
Lincoln, Stevens, Wilson, Sumner,
Hale, and Wade, had still obtained,
tempered only as aggravating causes
were removed, could such a cry as
that of Charles Emory Smith be now
made? Look inward, all ye editors
of the Press, the Tribune, the Timer,
and ask yourselves this question
and as the industries of your States
stand in peril note the fact that
"hoary locks" are being shaken be
fore your faces!
The mistake in these great journ
als was in yielding to weakening
methods and suggestions which
found birth under the weak admin
istration of Hayes, and growth un
der the follies of faction. Our peo
ple, too many of them, think that
anv fair man can 811 Presidential
and Gubernatorial chairs, but
breadth of view and high courage
must always be there, or the enfee
bling traces of political disease can
be seen lor years thereafter, the
Haves' disease is still upon us; that
of Pattison and Cleveland will fol
low in Pennsylvania and New York
a few months later, but it will strike
the other side and give Republicans
time to regain their political health,
and though the old cry at Waterloo
may be repeated lor a few days more,
something better will follow.
A Blucher may not came in alli
ance with the Tariff, but night will,
and beyond the night is the dawn
of a better diy, when Republicans
can cheerily sing,
ST Dot good night.
Bat in toaia brighter lann bid as i?oo.l morning
If the House Tariff bill has failed
and Kelly says Democratic obstruc
tion has killed it, then look to the
Senate bill and if it cannot be so
amended as to protect the leading
industries of the great Middle States
kill it. Do it boldly. Stamp it down
in the face of all men, and trust to
the brighter day coming. It will
come, for Democracy only seizes the
lower House; the Senate's Republi
can majority increases from two to
four; the President is a New York
Protectionist, steadily bound to all
our great industries. If by any
chance a measure of Free Trade
passes the future House, the Senate
can scale, and the President stab it
with his veto. So there is no dan
ger ahead. The issue will be made
up, and on that all Republicans can
go to the country .forgetting a tempo
rary weakness impossed by too great
success and too great a' proneness to
division. In that battle there will
be no weak counsels, no resthetic
follies, no sympathy with treacher
ous minorities, but sturdy, manly
united blows for American politics,
American ideas, and American in
dustriea. . And the Pres., and the
Tribune, and the Times will absorb
the spirit of the occasion, and do all
the better service after their sad ex
perience. Media American.

Mr. Robert Giffen. President of the
Statistical Society of London, deliv
ered a carefully prepared address re
cently, which is published in the
New York Sun, containing some
startling revelations. He forecasts
the doom of the human race, thro'
lack of the means of subsistence, in
case it continues to multiply at its
present rate without any enlarge
ment of the resources upon which
it depends or any change in the eco
nomic methods that now prevail.
Having observed that the European
family, confined till modern times
to a small corner of the world, now
possess as their habitation over half
of the area of the earth available for
producing the food of civilized races,
he proceeds to bhow that the pressure
of population upon the means of
subsistence is now deeply felt in the
chief countries of Europe, and that
there is a rapid encroachment upon
their agricultural resources. At the
present time large masses of the Eu
ropean population has to be sup
ported by importations of bread
stuffs. In the United States the growth
of the millions is leading to moment
ous inquiries. We behold tbe doub
ling of the population in about 5
years, so that it has multiplied itself
by sixteen in the course of thw cen
tury. The rate is such as to be fair
ly bewildering in its probable con
sequences. In another twenty-five
years, at the same rale of inc-e.ise,
the population will bn 100,(KX,(00,
in fifty years 'JOO.OOO.OOO, in seven
tv-five years 400,000,000, and at tlm
end of the century 800.000,000! But.
this growth, within the brief period,
indicated, would give for the arable
land of the United States a . pouula
tion of 400 to the square mile one
third as much again as the present
population per square mile in the
United Kingdom, twice as much per
square mile as the population as the
United Kingdom supported by home
agriculture, and more thau twice as
much per square mile as the present
population of France. Moreover, a
much smaller ratio of increase in the
United States of past and present
times, say to 400,000,000 in a centu
ry, would presuppose practically so
violent a change in the existing con
dition that the difference between' it
and the more violent change- whici
an increase of population to the larg
er figure would require need not b
considered.
It Lj from the United States thnt
the imports of food to Europe are,
now mainlv to be had. About 12.-
000,000 of the people of Great Brit
ain, and millions of the people of
other European countries, are sus
tained by American supplies. It is
not dilhcult to see th;vt thus state of
things cannot endure, and that even
the resources of the United States
are to be put to a test fully as severe
as that to which those of Europe are
now brought, with ominous results.
