" Nell t did any one ever I If this isn't
tit° climax of impudence I Just listen, Neill"
exclaimed Kate Matthews, who had for the
last few minutes been lazily looking over the
" Personals' in the mornings' paper:
" the lady dressed in. purple, with bat
and feather of the sammcolor, who visited the
Derby gallery on Friday morning, and went
from their to Goupil's where site purchased
water color brushes and a small chromo, and
afterward went down Twelfth street, wishes
to form the acquaintance of the handsome
gentleman Wit h the mustache, whom site fre
quently policed, she may address Mustache,
;station D, appointing, an interview.'"
" There I Isn't that scandalous I It's come to
a pretty pass if one can't go out shopping, or
on the street, even, without being followed
and insulted in Ibis manner. I only wish I
knew who the scamp was—l'd teach him !"
and Kate's black eyes sparkled with indigna•
lion.
"Scandalous encugh,l grant you," answer
ed her cousin Nell ; " but why need you take
it up so violently ? It tires one so to get ex
cited, nod the lady in purple, whoever she
may be, is doubtless abundantly able to fight
her own tattles. It doesn't concern you."
" Doesn't it? Just throw by that stupid

" It ought to be a penitentiary offence," said
ii ell, warmly. "It it were me, no--"

" I'd see if I couldn't find some way to
come up with him. it's evident, from the
advertisement, that he is no less a fool than a
villain, sad I believe he might be drawn into

Pin d with the project, which not only gave
promise of a substantial revenge, but of
welcome 'chef from the ennui which was de
vouring teem, the two girls began discussing
a variety of plots with great zeal. An hour
aft. rivard the cook, a pimple-faced, broad•
shouldered lady of Iliberman extraction, was
sutumuw d to the parlor.
—.l3i ',1g0.," began Kate, "I have been think
ing some time of making you a nice present."
"6ure, Hawn, and ye're very kind."
"1 saw a bonnet in a Sixth avenue window
yesterday' which I think would just cult your
c.miplexion. I ant going out this afternoon,
and will order it sent home."
'•Alay the saints bless ye, ma'am. Y.
couldn't have thought of a thing I nailed more
than that same. Ever since Pat Magill sat
non my beet bonnet at my mother's wake
1 hai.en't been fit tti go into the street."
i•Ni ver mind that, Bridget. You shall
have the bonnet."
" uik yeee, tna'ani, thousand times, and
if Biddy llouligau can ever be of any service
ride, cookiug potatoes, all ye do is 10 say the
word."
Ni,w I think of it you can assist me in a
little matter," said Kate, as if it had came into
Ler loud tnat minute. "Bridget, would you
have any objection to a man kissing you, or to
leiesng a man, for that matter ?"
" :sure, ma'am, and what does you take me
for Y' inquired the opened mouthed Miss
Ilcoliesn.
•.+, nice nun," said Kate. " A man with
kid glovi a and a mustache."
" Like one of them as stand;s around the
dollar stores on Broadway ? Aug I the very
bight of 'em is enough without anything else."
Just :ea you like. And now I think of it
Bridget, your bonnet doesn't look so bad after
all. I dare say you could do without a new
one for some time to come."
! thin,ma'am, years misunderstood me,"
replied Bridget, quickly. "Sure, I would kiss
()old Nick himself to please yees, Tell me
what I've to do, and if it isn't done I'll never
take a bite or sup In this house agin."
Any one who had Kell Bridget in the kitch
en that afternoon would have believed her de
mented. She left the biscuit burn; she put
sail in to the coffee ; she poured the milk into
tb), tea kettle. and c mmitted a dozen other
like vagaries, which showed her mind was
upon anything else but her work. That her
reflections were of a pleasant character might
have been judged from the universal smile
which seemed to diffuse itself over her whole
figure. It was very evident that the task she
was toexecute was one into which else entered
with her whole heart and soul.
Two days after the events narrated above
look place, Mr. Percy Frltz•Bobbins, with IL
hall'-dozen kindred spirits, was seated In his
room on Bond street. Be had been regaling
them wiih a history of his late conquest ; for
Percy Fitz Dobbinh:was a lady's mats, ho it
known, and was as well known to the prom.
enaders on Broadway as the oldest Inhabitant.
Ile had been known to stand for hours in front
of St. Nicholas or Metropolitan totally immov
able, with'the exception of his eyes, staring at
all the gayly-dressed throng and up the street,
and fancying himself the admired of all ob
servers.
Among his companions he had, by dint of
man boasting and lying, achieved the, reputa
tion of being, in their phraseology, a "gay
boy," whose fascinations no female could re
sist.
"The softest thing you ever saw," said the
magnificent Percy, casting a satisfied glance
at his reflection In the little square looking
glass which hung over the washstand. " I

"The 's so," was echothl on all sides and
the flan% separated, at agreeingdo meet on
the corn. rut Twelfth str. et and Broadway at
half past nine precisely, to escort the-gallant
Fitz Dobbins to his appointment.
The hour arrived, and when Percy Fitz
Dobbins arrayed in all his glory, reached the
rendezv. OR twenly minutes behind time, he
found his friends impatiently awaiting hint,
and in a somewhat exalted condition from nu
merous potations in whic'i they had been in
dulging t o pass sway the time.
" You're a precious nice fellow to keep an
appointment !" said ()sear 'Firkin in a very
loud and unsteady tone of voice.
"Hush I Don't talk so loud," remonstrated
Percy In rvously. " We're close by the house
and she might be frightened. I wouldn't have
her know there was anybody with me for
worlds."
"Oh, bosh I I dare any she is a delicate
creature. I've a great mind to make you take

equally hula tone,.putling . poor Fitz Dobbins

" Gracious how she must love me," was the

in a sarong whispir,.every word of which was

Ile could go no further fir lie was broken
nit in the midilre by another and unexpected
embrace, i.l,ii powerful a character that his
eyes protrudi d n i thi it sockets, and his
month opened with a sudil, II jerk. He tried
to say don't, but his lungs were empty, and he
could only gatip and struggle faintly.
" Why didn't yers conic before ?"she asked
"expected yei s nn hour ago."
Perry tried to nmiwer, tint au soon as he be
gan, the embrace which hail b , en slackened,
was rene wi d with such fore , ' that his reply was
smothered 'in his throat. He felt his button
give way with the strain, and the tightly laced
waiscoat rip up the b ick with a loud tear. At
the same time a shower of kisses fell upon his
face, which not only seriously Impeded his
breathing, but were so strongly tainted with
the obnoxious vegetable afore mentioned that
the poor Fite-Dobbins nigh fainted upon the
basement floor.
" Let me go," at length he found voice to
pled. " I teal sick, and I want my hat."
" So this 19 the way you begin to Orate me
already is it?'' demanded the voice, with an
unmistakable whine. " Yeas ought to be
ashamed of yourself, robbin nn innocent girl
of her affections, and then tryin to sneak
away without saying " Bo yet lave." Ter hat
is safe enough, for I've one fit on it, and I'm
going to hope it there tbr the prisint. Now
kiss me.
Poor Percy, he puckered his lips and gave
a little dab at the face he felt an close to his
own.
. " It's co—cold here," groaned Percy shiver
ing—not, however, from that reason.
" I'll take yees where it is warmer, thin,
and see If I can't thaw yees into something
like a docent man out to be. .Walk soft, now
there's a big dog in the hall, and the ould man
stapes wid a pistol under his pillow. Take off
her coat and boots, and lave ton here. Quick,
now• I"
Fitz Dobbins meekly obeyed. He had„ no
power of resistance left. It was a sharp night
and the damp air of the basement hall struck
to the very marrow as he stood, coatless and
booti-ss, ready for the next step In his fate.
Guided by the hands which now seized Ills,
he moved toward the stairs through the dark
ness, bit hardly had his hoed touched the
banisters, when he was suddenly dragged
back.
"Sham)," whispered his companion.
There's somebody cumin' boron thelstairs with
a lamp.' Hide or you are n dead man ! This
way!
Fitz Dobbins felt himself led, or rather drag
ged through a long, cold passage ; a door
opened ; he was thrust Inside with with such
haste that he lost his perpendicular, and stumb
ling over a pile or boxes, brought up in a sit
ting position on a coal heap. He cursed in un
audible tone of voice, and with an earnestness
not tube mistaken. He fumbled around in
the dark to find the door, bat was only reward
ed by stepping on a broken bottle and immers
ing his band in a pot of soap grease. After
what scented an interminable time, the door
was softly opened.
'• Are yees there ?" ask. d a hoarse whisper;
"or have yetis gone to shape."
Fitz Dobbins came forth. lie had made up
his mind to bolt for the basement door and
escape, but a hand was laid upon him that
would have held a dray horse:
" The coast is clear," said his unseen com
panion. "Sharp light. Here—take hold of
me hand."
Although the gallant Percy was chilled
through with cold, and Macleod with appre-
hension and fright he could not help thinking
that the hand he held was much too large to
look well In kit glove,or to ramble over the
keys of a Click:kering Piano in fashionable
company. Up trey crept from the bas-went
through the dark hall to the cloor of the par
lor, which was gently opened and after their
entrance softly clesed. was a pleasant
change from the basement, or coal cellar, for,
though dark the room was worm and comfort

" Sit down here," said the voice, pushing
hint along to a sofa. " Now yee3 can talk to

" Yes," feebly answered rercy.
Ile dared not say no. Ile fit that any op
position, acted or spoken, would bring upon
him something worse than he had yet under
gone.
"Pin strain ye're ileitelherin` me for the
sake of money."
" Pun my honor," said Percy such a thing
never —1
" Do very love me for : myself, 'pen your
soul ?''
" Pon my honor," again stammered Percy,
"It's only for t1ir4,11."
" :1n world yecs marry me to night, darlin'
if the prast would tie the fore ?"
"Ye-s," wns the hesitating answer, "I
think I would."
" Alt, darlin'
Percy thought he heard a noise in the
room. It sounded like a giggle—a female gig
gle. Ili , strained his eyrs to see if he could
discover anything through the darkness.
"I hate to be otten' 10 the dark without get•
lin' a glimpse of yer mvate fare," said his
companitin, 'all' it I-n't proper, [tither. Just
let go of me waist a mintut, au' don't kap°

Never was a man more guiltleas of love
making then was Perry Fitz•Duhbins on this
occasion. yet he offered no denial to the in•
sinuationucon•eyed in the request.
" Just hold on till 1 strike a light."
The next moment the room was ablaze with
light, and what a scene opened itself to the
not onlahed and horrified orbs poor Percy Fitz-
Dobbins ! Around the room were grouped at
least a dozen ladies and gentlemen, some of
whom he had met on public occasions, and to
whom helves well known ; and conspicuous in
the group nearest him was the lady in the pur-
Tie dress. An irascible looking old gentleman,
with a bald head and rrd nose, whom Percy
had no difficulty In recognizing as the young
lady's (tether, stood in front of him. fie was
armed with . a stoat ratan cme, which he
whisked up and doWn in a very °minions man
ner. The thing was evinent enough. It was

with a stamp on the floor, "who is that raga.

cook, the heroine of the evening, her pimpled

smile which illuminated her countenance.

" Fitz, thin, air, I can't tell ye his name,"
said Bridget, "but perhaps the young ladles

" Certainly, father," said Kate, coining for
ward. " I ought not to have neglected Um
duties of hospitality for a single moment, for
this gentleman's visit was paid to me, if I am
not mistaken."

trust he is satisfied."
" Bridget open the door," said the gentle.
man, turning back his wristbands and grasp
ing the ratan more firmly.
Fitz. Dobbins appreciated the dangers of the
situation, and with a bound like a deer lie
made for the hall door. Ile was none too
quick. Thwack! thwack I came - down the
cane with fearful emphasis, and ns he reached
the outside door a number nine boot, man's

had that moment returned from an extended
visit to a neighboring saloon.
"Plucked, by Job!" exclaimed Oscar Fir-
kin.
" Take me home," said Fitz• Dobbins, faint

The next day the following "Personal" ap
peared in the morning paper:
"If P—y Fitz D—bb—ne, of Bond street,

The placestlat hadbeforetime known Percy
Fttz Dobbin know him no more. The reports
as to his present whereabouts are various. It
was currently believed, for a time, that he got
on the police, so as to keep out of public view
for a season, but it is now certain that there
was no foundation for the report. At any rate
whereever he may be, it is hardly probable
that the writing personals, or flirting In dark
basements with unknown females, claims any
considerable portion of his valuable leisure.
ANO I'HFR COURT.
There will be an effort at the next session of
the Legislature to pass a bill creating a Court
of Appeals, having concurrent jurisdiction
with the Supreme Court.
It is claimed that something must be done
to relieve the Judges of the Supreme Court,
who are greatly overworked, so much so that
Important business has to remain undone to
the injury of parties concerned that an addi
tional Court, with concurrent jurisdiction, or
an increase in the number of Judges of the
Supreme Court, is necessary, must appear from
the fact that forty years ago the number of
Judges was Increased from three to five, and
it is reasonable to suppose that the increase of .
business has since then become very great.
We have no doubt that one of the first Sensi
ble acts of the Legislature will be either to
increase the number of Judges of the Supreme
Court or to create an additional Court.

JOAQUIN MILLER.
The extraordindry letter written by the wife
of Joaquin Miller will hardly inerease the pop
ularity. of that eccentric young poet. With a
candor which claims to be born of deep affix.
tion, but which might very well be the off
spring of a desire for revenge, Mrs. Miller
comes forward, just as her husband has made
his tame secure, and reveals the fact that he
deserted her and her children for five years, so
that he could give his entire attention to his
poems. The wife asserts that lie " justly felt
that lie was gifted, and his mind being of fine,
poetic structure, and his brain very delicately
organized, the coarse and practical duties of
providing for a family and the annoyance of
children conflicted with his dreams." So he
sailed away to England, and left Mrs. Miller
far off in Oregon stitching away at shirts so
that she might feed herself and three or four
children. There is in this world a very heurty
appreciation of poetic genius, and the man
who makes a display of that rare article is
tolerably sure to win reputation ;' but thepoetic
enthusiasm of the world hardly ever runs
away with its common sense and its notions
of justice. Therefore, when it perceives a
being who expends his time in rolling his eyes
in fine frenzy and in seeking solitary commu
ulon with nature, while his wife and children
are in dire need of beef and potatoes, the gen
eral verdict will probably be teat the poet is
rather a mean sort of a scoundrel. It is to be
admitted that there is a certain woo of con
gruity between sawing wood end writing poe
try ; but it even an inspired bard cannot sup
port his lividly with his verses, it is his duty to
exercise hie fine poetic structure in prosaic
employments, and to, save his frenzy for hie
le.sure moments. Indeed, there is reason to
believe that the poet who saws Its wood first
and courts the muse afterward will be more
thvored by that heavenly lady than the man
who finds everything pathetic but the strug
gles of his wife to earn the bread flint he
ought to supply.
THE "TIMES" ON (EN. GRANT.
The Loudon Times judges from its Ameri
can exchanges and the tone of their special
correspondence from America that President
Grunt will he r nominated and elected, and
expresses the sentiments of England as fol
lows:
" In favor of this course will be the respect
he has won from men of all parties by his
honest and conscientione discharge of duty,
' and lhe knowledge of the electors that they
have In him a tired man, flt for any emergency
of the time. On the other side, there is only
Use prejudice of electing the same man twice•
This feeling has beets very strong wills the
present generation of Americans, and has, we
believe, made a single term for the Presidency
almost a cardinal pribciple with souse politi•
Bans. It was not so in the early days of the
Union.
It remains to be seen whether General
Grant's an rits.and popularity will secure him
this high honor. We can only say that such a
result of the coining discussions would be re
ceived with the utmost satisfaction in this
country. The interests of England and the
United Slates are now no interwoven In Com
mercial, and therefore, also in political mat
ters, that the character of the American Ex
ecutive is of no small importance to us, and
we believe the general opinion to be that the
States have never had a Government more
straightforward and conciliatory than the
present in its foreign policy, and more to be
trusted by those whose commercial null finan
cial interests are bound up with the mainte
nance or American credit. The firmness and
moderation whii which order has been
restored, the vcononiical skill with which the
debt has been reduced, and the good will with
which interncionsl controversies have been
brought to a close, make us anticipate with
satisfaction the election of General Grant to a
to a second term of office.
Beecher on the Darwinian Theory.
Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in his sermon
on Sunday last, said:
"There has been so much light and darkness
thrown by recent research as to, the origin of
man on earth, that men need to he taught as
to what arc facts and what are fancies. That
speculative deductions from scientific facts
have worked and are working mischief, is un
deniable. They RTC tmeirding the loins of
Christians and Bending them out without any
historic faith. Seeing this mischief, there are
some who shut their eye, and close their ears,
and will have none of science, and these err
almost as mischievously. •As to the antiquity
of the race, it may r. •rntinly be said that the
old eltreaolog•sts were iiie4rrect and imperfec'.
Man began further back than the 0000 years
they affixed for his beginning. The Seriptm•es
do not undertake to meddle with this question
and in removing the date a man's appearance
we do not unsettle them. All present organi•
zations have probably developed from previous
forms. The Divine method of creation was
through a long aeries.of gradually occulting
developments, so it is only the nu4hod' ol•
operation which need be doubted—the opera
tion Itself renuaning the same. COncerning
mankind there are three views: First, that the
rate descended front one pair In Eden, who
were originally perfect, but who degenerated
through some moral delinquency, and whose
decendants, inheriting their badness, have
been plunged into all sorts of moral confusion.
The second view Is, that, according to the
Bible, there were several distinct othilns, and
that this is true of only ono line of the race
anti the third view regards man as but the es
t, nsinn finite animal kingdom. This view
gives great (dispel to common people on mar•
al ground, and, also for scientific reasons, it
offends many. Logicians say "It Is a reason.
Mg that, like nice kangaroo, proceeds by
mighty jumps.. It is an Instance of philosoph
ical reserch and deduction." It is not to be
denied that there are multitudes doubting, aye,
and unbelleveing, because of these speculat
ions; they have also tended in enhance the
power which makes the strong domineer over
the weak. These served to make the negro
not a human being in the same sense that a
CRUCIISIRII was. The plane of the Ethiopian
seemed that of service. A new theory of
rights has thus come into vogue that right Is
only a question taking Certain degrees of posi
tive and power.
There are now two points presenting them
selvesior consideration. First, that whatever
theory prevails as to the origin of man; can
not alter the fact that man c true into the
world by divine method; and sec.mdly as far
as oar duty is concerned, we are more interest
ed in knowing what he is than how he came
to he here. Man may be studied—it is for us
to know of what he la euspecthle—rindAble is a
question of more Importance than what road
he took to get where he is now. In regard to
myself, lan a patient waiter for light. I say
that my faith is not afraid to take light from
whatever source it may come. The truth is
loiter for us than anything else. As to the
present condition of the human.family, I am
very clear and confident. The race of man is
in every respect, so much one that we are all
heirs alike of moral benefits, however we
came here. God made all mankind of one
blood.
I reach out hands to Belem.. I believe it
to be God's elect, not yet knowing its own
mission. • It is a means God has used to reveal
himself more clearly. All hail the men who
think and search I I bid them speed ; but I
cannot afford to say to any modern deductor,
" Take my faith." That Is too previous. to be
abandoned. .111 v greatest desire is to see a
higher spirit ofsympathy for every good and
'regressive work In the earth."
