"Five years ago to-day Booth Stan field, detective friend of mine, cemmittetltsni cide," remarked a Scotland Yard detect ive, who haI joined oar party around a table in the Chelsea Gardens, one very w arm evening when a half dozen of the force were gathered there. " Was he insane 7" I asked. The Scotland Yard detective blew the froth from a foaming tankard and drank long and deep of the famous brew, and heaving a sigh which was expressive of the satibfiction with which the cooling draught had fiiled him, he sadly re- plisd : " No, it was a deadly sorrow . " Tell us the story." I would that it were only a story, but if yon gentlemen will keep quiet an J ask no questions until I get through, I will do so." " Go ahead ; we're mum." "All right ! Booth Stanfield was one of the keenest men on the yard a strange man, but a strong ona among the strong ones. In person tie was over six teet in height, and well proportioned, and far muscular potver he beat anything I ever saw in tnv life. Yet, somehow, in look ing at hid face I could not get over the thought that he had suffered some great sorrow, or had some great wrong to avenge ; however, in the latter supposi tion I was entirely mistaken, and I told him one day how he seemed to affect me. ' ' Booth,' said I, a trifle nervous, ' I may have presumed, and if so I crave your pardon; but the sorrow that sits upon yeur face tells me that yon are pin ing under sone great trouble that is de stroy lug your lire.' "Yes, Mort," he replied, "I have a trouble a lingering sorrow that is steal ing my life away, and yet I long to die ; but see here, Mort, I must trust seme one, or this thing will surely drive me mad." "'Booth,' said I, If I can be of any service lo yon, i m yours to com mand. " He told me his story, which made an impression on my mind that can only be effaced by death, and I will endeavor to relate it in his own words. THE DETECTIVE'S STORT. One day I was bending over my desk, in our chiefs office, w riting busily, when all at once something fair and white stood before me ; a figure in floating draperies, a face that was perfect, and a pair of won drous eyes gazing upon me, while a sweet low voice asked : "Is my father, is Mr. Larrimer in V Then, as she observed nay glance of sur prise, she added : " I have jusi returned from school, and must see papa." And the sweet yoice had a ring of im patience in it. Of course I provided her with a seat. Mr. Larrimer would soon return, and Miss Larrimer chose to wait tor him. Sitting there we chatted pleasantly, and before we scarcely realized it we were on friend ly terms. A heavy footstep, and then Lionel Lar rimer, my chief, the most haughty, purse proud man in the great city, made hi appearance and had his daughter in his arms, kissing her tenderly. I stood aside until the meeting was over ; then I noticed that the girl had whispered something to her father ; he turned to me : " My daughter, Miss Lillian, Mr. Booth Stanfield !" he said, hurriedly, and there was a careless indifference in Mr. Larri nier's tone that galled my pride inex pressiblyit was as though I was an in ferior, and my presence jnst tolerated. " Come, Lillian," said her father, " let as go home. It is such a comfort to have you back again. Mr. Stan&eld " turn ing to me carelessly' you Jwill please I - - w 1 a A call on Mr. Mortimore ana see wuai you can learn from him about that extensive diamond .robbery and report when I return." I bowed. Then Larrimer moved away and she, with a bow and a aweet smile, followed her father. "Ah, by the way," he added, langaidly, as they were about to leave, " my daugh ter, ;Miss Larrimer intends giving a reception on the 2Sth and has invited you." I bowed in acknowledgment. The in vitation was extended as one flings a bone to a dog. " Miss Larrimer is very kind," I re sponded. " I s'lall take pleasure in ac cepting." He bowed stiffly, and then I was left alone ; but between my pen and the pa per before me there came the vision of s fair face, and clouds of golden hair, the face of a woman whom I was destined to love until I died. The night of the reception came. I ascended the marble steps of Mr. Larri mr's etately mansion with a wildly beat ing heart, and not long afterward I was ushered into the grand drawing-room. A glittering of jewels, the rustls of silks and satins, lovely laces all around, and over it all the perfume of the rarest flowers. Behind a screen of blossomnig plants, a band of music was discoursing sweetly. and as I entered they were playing 'Mon Reve. Ah. mon reve. indeed : it was bat a erset ESTABIaISHED 18527. WEDNESDAY, OCTOBER 1, 1890. dream, after all, in whhh I lived that night. A glimmer ot pale bluesatin and frosty lace, the faint perfume clwood violets; I glanced cp ; a small glared hand was shyly extended, and a swet, well remem-b-sred ilas, too well rerrembered voice spoke my name. I was in her presence once morel j She danced with me not once, but many times quite ignoring her father's black looks, and the v-ry evident dis satisfaction of more than one eligible party She seemed to note tieir disappoint ment with girlish deligli, and my heart grew cold, fori thought that so in time! she might deal with me :but I determin ed to be happy for one tight ; after that heaven only knew what might tear as asunder. But the hours flew by aa only happy hours can fly, cntil at last the reception was a thing of the past. After that, Lillian and myself were yery frequently thrown into each other's society, and a passion strong and deep at least on my part sprang op between us. We were inseparable, arul we had sworn only to live to be united. We read class ic poems to each other, and when the " Sorrows of Werther " were traced line by line she would shed tears of grief. Ours seemed an ecetacy of love and pas sion that could never die. One day I was detailed on a case that compelled me to cross the Atlantic, and after an absence of six months, in which I was successful in "working up" the case, I returned and left for Lillian's home, full of love and hopeful anticipa tions. On reaching there I saw Lillian look in? from a window. Her face, with long fair hair hanging negligently before her breast, seemed the fairest on earth to me. I tried to climb np the vines as I saluted ber with a kiss from my hand. When she saw me, her face grew paler and she looked at me with a cold stare, saying : " Yon come too late. I am married to another. Do not let your sorrows be as deadly as those of poor Werther." She laughed a low, mocking laugh, as her face disappeared from the window, and I thought I heard a falL That was my death wound. I went to my room and sat with my face to a great bay window that opened upon a beautiful park, and brooded over my terrible loss. The next day I sgain crossed the park and as I neared the house of Lillian, I met her father who said, as if he menac ed me : " Lillian is dead ! She spoke to you last ! Why did you come here V I turned on my heel and walked rapid ly away. They said that Lillian fell dead after she told me not to let my sorrows be as deadly as were those of Werther. Since that day ten years ago my life haa been a , broken one .aa units toe agony has been so deep in my heart that I take my pistol and Booth raised his weapon, cocked it and put the barrel to his head and feel like ending my sor rows as Werther did his. I sprang forward, but it was too late ; a loud report followed, blood flowed from Booth Stanfield's right temple, and his fine face, disfigured with powder and ball, was turned towards Uie heavens. Shifting the Load. '"Even my wife sometimes tells me that I must be different from other men," Abraham Lincoln once, more pathetical ly than jocosely, remarked, "and the compliment is not intended for me, either. But I tell yon right here," and the long, dark hand came down on the table w ith sharp era phasic, "that I hare schooled myself to think occasionally cf something else besides the trouble im mediately at hand." "Oh, but that with you must be a nat ural faculty, Mr. Lincoln," the President's companion replied. "Most people are so constituted that they cannot do it. The thing that hurts them is the only thir.g that they can consider. It is the insist ence pf pain. Only here and there can be found one able to rise above it," "There never was a more outraeots fallacy than that outrageous because of the mischief it can do," said Mr. Lincoln. "Oh, yes," interrupted the friend, with superior smile, "but can yoa tell the world bow to throw off trouble how not to feel painr "I would like such a receipt myself," was the laughing answer, "but I was only speaking of the ability to shift the load of pain or trouble, so that it might not incapacitate a man from Im in; of wme help and comfort to his neighbors. Now, we've no business to go round lik ; a black gloved, grim-visaged undertaker. It is yoa business and mine to ct seder first what we can do toward lifting the lotus of others. A good story U better thin s long face ; a jolly song ha? more 'get np and get' to it than a dirge. The only rule I have is to try and put myt-e'.f a little in the rear. I don't say that this is always easy, bat I have found this out that to ease another's heartache is to forget one's self. When things get to sqaeeiting too hard, I often find comfort in this ques tion and answer : 'Abe Lincoln, are yoa doing the best yoa know how ?' "And when Abe's reply can truthfully be, 'I am, please God V then the country is safe." Youlh'i Companion. A young priest, shortly after beginning his labors in his first parish, received a visit from one of the older fathers. Anx ious to shww the progress h had made he called op a class in catechism for questioning. "Biddy. Moloney," he began, "stand np." A slip of a girl, with blue eves and brown freckles, arose inwier place. "What, Biddy," said the young father, "is meant by the howly state of matri mony T" "Share," began Biddy, glibly, "lis ssyson of tormint upon which the soul inters to fit it for the blissid state to come. ' "Och r cried the questioner angry and mortified ; "to the foot of the class wid ye, Biddy Maloney. It's the m'aning of purgatory ye're aftber givin." But here the old priest interposed with a quizzical smile. "Not too fast For aught yoa and know to the contrary, the go. mil may be perfectly right Harper Mcujazine. The Slime of the Campaign.. Information has been gathered through various bet reliable sources teaching the plan of campaign of those who are con spiring for the defeat of the Republican ticket in this State. . The campaign is to be an extraordinary one, and on the part of the opposition it is to be made a per sonal, a bitter and dirty one. The re sponsibility for this state of affairs begins with Pattison himself, for in his letter of acceptance he begged his party - to press only personal issues, knowing that if higher ones dominate the public thought he w ill have no chance of election. Be yond this invitation he will not act per sonally save as a Democratic candidate, nor will his State Committee take any direct responsibility for the flood of nas- y literature which is to be launched upon the State. The Jjemocrauc otate Committee will confine its work within the Democratic lines, but a plan has been matured, after frequent conferences, which places the work of distributing the most offensive literature upon those who have personal injuries or lost opportuni ties to revenge. This part of the work is left to several Barkerite committees which are now in process of formation. Several are necessary, in order that the responsibility may be shifted, tho move ment given the appearance of grand pro portions, and the leaders hidden from direct responsibility. It has already been shown that exten sive photo-lithographs are being prepar ed outside of the State, all of them de signed to injure Senator Delamater, the Republican candidate, and Senator Quay, the Chairman of the National Republi can Committee. The leaders of this plan of attack are William L. Scott, who de sires to be V. S. Senator ; Wharton Bark er, who having failed to get a Cabinet position from Republican Presidents, is now apparently ready to take his chances with Cleveland ; and Senator Emery, who has been defeated for a Coneresfcion- al nomination in his own district, and who is largely actuated by personal hatreds. The Democratic hand, and possibly the wealth of Scott, will guide the guerilla forces, for he expects, through defections worked op against the State ticket, to capture the Legislature know ing full well, crafty politician as he is, that, whatever injuries the head of the ticket, injures all of it. Indeed, one might as well strike an enemy s head, and exclaim "I mean no injury to your feet," as to cut off the head of political ticket with the expectation that the in jury stops there. It permeates the entire body, and injures not alone all of the ticket represented, but all of the measure and principle advocated. Scott knows this and Barker and Emery both know it He is a novice in politics who does not, and it is the knowledge of the amount of injury within the compass of men who desire to promote it, that makes them work with a common purpose. All of these leaders are wealthy, and money counts as little against their hatreds ana ambitions. If the Republicans were less generous, or leas confident of ultimate triumph over every personal attack, they would "fight the devil with fire," but it will probably be enough for them to ex pose the general plan and its details as they appear, to excite the resentment if not the contempt of all fair-minded men. The first shape given to the battle cry of the opposition is that "Delamater is Quay's man." Pattison was Caesidy's man.andisnow Singerly's, but the Re publicans are not as yet playing the bibv -act and shouting the chorus. Dela mater has carved his own fortunes, won high recognition in his own county, and distinction in the State Senate before Quay befritndeIhim, while Pattison was Casjidy's p.-otege from the first. It is easy to say that any candidate is some leader's man, but such talk is only in tended for gudgeons. Those, whom it in fluences happily live long enough to re gret it, and in time see the world as it always has and always wilt be, subject more or less to the direction of leaders. But after all, these leaders, where the primaries are free, as they are in the Re publican party, can only exercise a modi fied. influence. They have to follow where the party Itad in all cases where voting is permitted. This is not true of the lemocratic party, for its primaries are mere sham.", with little semblance of liberty. A Republican candidate reflects with some degree of certainty ths voice of his party ; a Democratic candidate re flects only the policy of the hour and the wishes of certain leaders. Pattison reflects t-imply the wishes of Scott and Cleveland, and a vote for him means the desire to pro nole the power ' of these men. To giin their ends they are willing to invite and promote, without being di rectly responsible for a campaign of per sonal s'ander and mad slinging. The dirtier pirt of the work is to be done by committees, all of tbem self-constituted, ho with one hand will distribute dirt and with the other invite ths mat re spectable elements to associate in the movement. If we mistake not the slims will tlip from one hand to the other and in this way snirch all who lend them selves to such a movement. The Ideal and the Real. Twas in the afterglow.

' -rr T t .lie Senator Jones' Grub Stake. Senator Jones, of Nevada, is one of your self made men. He commenced life poor. But a year old when his par ents came from Herefordshire, England, he has made his way to the top by dint of hard work and the exercise of consid erable shrewdness. Like Senator Saun ders, of Montana, who made hi fret ten strike out of a claim he staked out ia a graveyard, Senator Jones first streak of luck was purely accidental, as nearly all streaks of lock are. The story goes that when Jones was in California he stumbled across his pile in the following remarkable manner : He lived in a certain county that Bret Harte made famous Tuolumme, the veracious chronicler asserts and during the gold excitement kept a small grocery store. He did a thriving trade ; prices were high in those days in California, and after a few years Jones had amassed a few thous and dollars. Up the mountain a piece lived a solitary miner. He was poor, had the reputation of being shiftless, but despite the report was always busy. One day he called on Jones. "Say, Jones, I think I've got a bonanza in that claim of mine," he said. Jones smiled. He bad heard these stories before. He knew how great ex pectations were frequently never realized. Time, labor, and money were usually wasted on what looked like something rich, but what developed into snares ; so Jones only smiled. "It's a big thing," persisted his visitor, and be proceeded to explain what the claim was and his reasons for being so sanguine. After several hours' talk the miner asked for an advance of CW'O with which to bey tools and food. Joues de murred. A thousand dollars was big enough sum, saved as it bad been, vith much trouble and labor. But after all, $1,003 cut no figure in comparison wllh the profits of a gold mine. Jones finally told the miner he would see what could be done. After nightfall, when the Chinamen employed in the neighborhood had taken their departure, Mr. Jones allowed the embers of his fire to die out When sat isfied that no one was about he scraped away the ashes, raised the stone on which tlie fire was built n-l weighed out the necessary gold dust to make $1,000. These little precautions were al ways taken in that region, where even robbers were more plentiful than for tunes. The tools were bought Jones lending the money and the miner promising him one-third of the profits of the mine. For months the solitary miner labored, but he did not strike the lead. He grew wan and hollow-eyed, and occasionally drop ped in to see Jones. The latter had by this time abandoned all hope of ever see ing his money again. "There's no gold np there," he would inform the miner, but the latter in sisted there was, if he could only strike it. ' He knew he would be successful eventually with his search, but provis ions were out and he asked for some meal and bacon. Jones smiled again. "It's like throwing it in a rat hole," he cheerfully observed as he dug out a side of bacon and gathered up a sack of corn meal for his luckless partner. For four months nothing was heard of the eld fellow, and Jones presumed he had eith er gone away or had died at his post up the gulch. Both suppositions were erro neous. The miner dashed into the store one day irradiated with joy. He had really struck his bonanza. Tlie mine was sold for S.ijO.OOO, and, faithful to his promise, the honest miner gave Jones one third of it Senator Jone's prosperi ty dated from that time. For Shoppers. One morning when Benjamin Frank lin was busy in the press room on his newspaper a lounger stepped into the bookstore and spent an hour or more in looking over the books-t Finally he seem ed to settle opon one and asked the clerk the price. "One dollar," the clerk answered. "One dollar," echoed the lounger, "Can't you take less than that V "One dollar is the price," the clerk an swered. The would-be purchaser looked over the books awhile longer and then inquir ed. "Is Mr. Franklin in V "Yes ; he's busy in the printing otfice," the clerk replied. "Well, I want to see him," said the man. : The clerk told Mr. Franklin that a gentleman was in the ptore waiting to see him. Franklin soon appeared, and the stranger said : What is the lowest, Mr. Franklin, that yoa can take for that book ?" 'One dollar and a quarter," was the prompt answer. "One dollar and a quarter j Why your clerk asked me only a dollar just now." "True," replied Franklin, "and I could have better afforded to take a dollar than to leave my work." " The man seemed surprised, and wish ing to end a parley of his own seeking said, "Welt, come now, tell me your low est price for this book." "One dollar and a half." "A dollar and a half! Why, yoa offered it yourself for a dollar and a quar ter" "Yes," said Franklin cooly, "and I bad better havs taken that price then than a dollar and a half now."

The Rewards of Ingenuity.' The rubber tip at the end of lead pen cils has yielded $100,00) in England. A large fortune has been reaped by a miner who invented a metal rivet or eyelet at each end of the mouth of coat or trousers pockets Ui resist the strain caused by the carriage of pieces of ore or heavy tools. In a recent h-jral action it transpired in evidence that the inventor of the metal plates used to protect soles and heels from water sold upward of 12,000,000 plates in 17, and in 18S" the number reached 14:1,000,000, producing realized profits of 1,2-30,000. As large a sum as was ever obtained for any invention was enjoyed by the inventor of the inverted glass bell to hang over gas to protect ceilings from being blackened, and a scarcely less lucrative patent was that for simply putting emery powder on cloth. Frequently time and circumstances are wanted before an invention is appre ciated, but it will be seen that patience is well rewarded, for the inventor of the roller skate made over $1,000,000, not withstanding the fact that his patent bad nearly expired before its value was ascertained. The gimlet pointed screw has produced more wealth than rucst silver mines, and the American who fin-t thought of put ting copper tips on children's shoes is as well off as if his father had left him $2,- COO.OOO ia United States bonds. Upwards of f 10,00 a year was made bv the inventor of the common needle threader. To the foregoing might be added thousands of trifling but useful ar ticles from which handsome incomes are derived or for which large sums have been paid. Few inventions pay better than popu lar patented toys. A clergyman realized $2,000 a week by the invention of a strange little plaything, to be seen for a long time in every toy shop window and even in the streets of London. That favorite American toy, a "return ball" a woolen ball with an elastic at tachedyielded the pjtcntee an hx-wiie equal to $jO,00O a year and aa inconfc -f no less than $7".000 per annum to the in ventor of the "dancing Jim Crow."

The sale of the little wooden figure "John Gilpin," was incredibly large for many years, and a very insrenious toy, known as the "wheel of life," TJ said to have produced np wards of $o00,)00 pro fits to its inventor. One of the most successful of mot'era toys has been the "chameleon trp," the sale of whichc has leen enormous. The field of invention is cot only vast and varied, but it is open to everybody with out respect or favor of any kind to sex or age, station or means. Women as Journalists. Said Mr. Childs to me recently : "Some of the best writers on my paper are the women editors of it, and there is not one of theni who is not paid for her work ex actly as though she were a man. I be lieve fully in this. It is true that women have, in many quarters been underpaid ior their labors ; but I am convinced, from evidences I have sn, that this state of thing3 is gradually becoming less. Let women be given a fair chance in business. They will often do work even better than men. "One morning the wife of one of our editorial contributors came to see me, saying: 'My husband is ill and unable todo bis work any longer. For a num ber of months past I have been writing his editorials for him, and I have now come to ask you t allow me to continue doinj so.' 'Certainly,' I said. If yoa have been writing them you can go on doing so .- but my nothing of the change to anyone.' "Some time after this the husband dijd. ti going to the office in the mor ing one of my editors met me with a face a yard long- 'r- Chink is dead.' said he, 'and I don't know what we are going to do without him. His articles were such a special feature, and there is no one e'se in the country with ability enough to write them.' " 'Isn't there T I asked. 'Bat do yoa think thai they have been as good as usual of late T "'Better,' he replied. " 'But are yoa sure there has been no falling off these last few months?" " 'No, in deed ; it is j'ast there where the improvement is noticeable. The older he grew the better became his work. And that makes it all the more discom forting to realize that we can never se cure any one wh could to them one tenth a-i well.' " 'Oh, yes we can,' I answered. 'It may interest yoa to know that for more than a year past Mr. Blank has not written a line for the Ijtilirr. Mrs. Blank has been doing ber husband's work, and she is quite capable of continuing to do so.' "And she does to-day." How She Outwitted Them. In a serai-fashionable boarding-house "on the hill," ia Wa-shington, resides, as a guest a maiden lady, cultured and clev er. Like some other nice people, she is i rather sensitive on the subject of age quizzing among the thicker-skinned boarders. The blank left at the hoose by the enumerator was spread out on the parlor table and the inmates requested to fill in the various spaces as to their vari ous antecedents, etc. Secrecy was of course out of the qnest'.on, and consider able curiosity was evinced as to how oar ancient maiden would treat the query as to her age. When her turn came she was equal to the emergency. She quietly fiiled in all the desired information, and when the eager eyes were at the "age column" they found they could make nothing of it, E.'ery thing else was written out in a neat, clear huciL but here they were stumped. " Why, Mi Arabella," said the land lady, smiling sweetly, " I am afraid that the enumerator will not be able to make this oat," pointing to the item in ques tion. "That?" sdd Miss Arabella, placidly. " Oh, that is written in German, yon know, and if be cant read it, they can at the t tlk-e, of course." And she calmly retired, well aware that not a soul in the house but herself an Jeritood a word of German. The Farmer's Party. Ftota tba Indianapolis Journal. It islnot surprising, as politics go, that there should be an anxiety in some quarters to form an alliance with ths farmers' movement, even to the extent of surrendering party principles and or ganization. Ia some of the Southern States tli Democratic party baa offered itself a willing sai riDce and has been swallowed bodily by the Farmers' Alli ance. It has sacri fiord its organization and so-called principles to save a few of fices. In this State the same party b d for the farmer vote by nominating for Secretary of S.ate an alleged farmer who has twang around the circle in politics and is not much more of a Democrat than he is a farmer. He bears about the same relation to the Democracy that the zebra does to a horse, and is about as much of a farmer as chess is wheat He is ths Democratic bid for the support cf the Farmers' Alliance. His other name is CUnde Matthews. The Republican response to the farm ers' movement is very different With out any sacrifice of principle or dignity, without going oat of their way to hunt up a spotted fawn or long-lost brother with a strawberry mark on his arm, they have nominated for the head of their ticket one of the most pronounced I, pubiicans in the State, and one of the best known farmers, a man who has never wavered in bis devotion to Re-publican principles and who haat never been anything but a practical farmer. Tha price of his farm would not induce him to stand on anything but a Ucput'i.-n platform or vote anything but a Re-publican ticket H has never run after strange gods in politics, and does nut now. He is a Republican from way bac k and a farmer from way back. That the kind of a man the Hon. Milton Trus ter is. His nomination illustrates the Republican way of doing things, and shows how readily and completely it can respond to all popular demands and pop alar movements without going outside of its own organization. It is so with all good movements and all practical re forms. They can be best accomplished through the Republican party, and as a general rule, are never accomplished in any other way. It is the bet farmer's party, as it is the best party for all other classes. It is a Good Plan to Keep Books. The advice w!ieh Daniel Webber gave to a neighbor of his in the following an ecdote might be fellowed with advantasre bv many people. Indeed, the reader will be likely to think that it might have been followed to good advantage by Mr. Webster himself. One one occasion a man presented to Mr. Webster a bill for payment. "Why, Mr. N ," said the statesman, "it seems to me that I have paid that bill." Mr. N protested that it had not been paid, and Mr. Webster tol l him to call in a few days and he would attend lo the matter. After the man oad gone Mr. Webster asked his cjerk to lo"k over a quantity of bills and see if he could find a receipt for the amount To his surprise two receipts were found, indicating that the bill had been paid twice. In due time -Mr. N call just at the dinner hour, as it chanced, and Mr. Webster invited him in to dine. After the mear was over they proceeded to the business in hand. "Mr. N , do yoa keep books"" Mr. Webster inquired. "No," was the reply. "I thought so," said Mr. Webster. "Now, I advise yoa to keep books. If yoa had kept books you would have known that I had this receipted bill," showing him one. Mr. N w;s greatly surprised anil mortified and apologized as best he could for his mistake. "Yes, it is always a good plan to keep books," continued Mr. Webster, showing him a second receipt. Then, knowing Mr. X to be an honest man, he suggested that perhaps receipted bills' had been presented but really left unpaid, and insisted that Mr. X should take the money. .f'-cM OjVifii'n.
