" 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 novt I and try for a nuomnt to collect your Ideas and see if I cannot convince you that it does. Who among your acquaintances dresses in purple and taints in water colors? And who was it that told you she was at the Der by gallery and Goupill's on Friday morning And woo brought home that beautiful little English chromo which bangs above your hem! Do you see now ?', " 611te enough, Kate l It is , you that is meant. I don't wonder at you . for firing up so. Gave 3 ou'any idea who it can be ?"

There ought to be a law to protect women from the persecutions of such fellows.

" It ought to be a penitentiary offence," said ii ell, warmly. "It it were me, no--" '• and if it were you, what then ?"

"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.

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.

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.

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 n, disgraceful plot " Bridget," demand the old gentleman, with a stamp on the floor, "who is that raga.

Close beside him stood Bridget, the cook, the heroine of the evening, her pimpled face radiant with delight, and her snag tooth displayed itself to frightful advantage in the smile which illuminated her countenance. "Shure, sir," she replied, "the gentleman Is me own swateheart, an" I took him up in the parlor because there was no tire in the kitchen. " What's his Dania V thundered rho old man, "and why does he come Into a gentle man's house In this disgraceful state?" " Fitz, thin, air, I can't tell ye his name," said Bridget, "but perhaps the young ladles can." " 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." "Mr. Percy Fitz Dobbins, father one ofthe lady kilicrs of Broadway, who had the impu dence to follow me while shopping last week, and afterward insulted me,' though the "Per sonal's" in the city papers, asking for a meet. ing. He has had it to night, and I bincerely trust he is satisfied." " Bridget open the door," said the gentle. man, turning back his wristbands and grasp ing the ratan more firmly. Fitz.

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.

Just after the last fire, when men hail a realizing sense of the danger and insecurity arising front a city constructed of wood, stringent ordi nances were passed by our Common Council, forbidding the erection of wooden buildings within an area bounded substantially by 22d street in the South Division, the river and the hike. This embraces the best part of that di vision and the present and prospective business portion of the city south of the river. Our in. efficient Board of Public IVorks has allowed that ordinance to be altogether disregarded.

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.

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." 4LEN TO IVS, PA NEW DEBIONS
