tell 70a my dolly is dead;
There's no use saying she isn't, with a

I was playing out in the yard

don't believe she knew it."
Bat I know that she knew It now, and I
just believe, I do,
That her poor little heart was broken, and
so her head broke, too.
Oh, my dolly! my little babyl I wish my

WRATH OF A VICOMTE
THE coves that Indent the Geor
gia coast, the picturesque islands
that fringe the mainland, the
primeval settlements scattered among
the marshes have been the scene of
many thrilling but unrecorded liappen
iu its.
The traditions of the coast people are
dear to them, handed, in fact and fancy
unaltered, to successive generations and
preserving nil the Quaint originality
of expression and simplicity of style.
Here Is a story of the coast a ro
mance of two continents:
Sapelo Island, in the early history of
the state, passed into the possession of
the French and by some claim became
the property of Vlcomte de Boufeuillet,
the distinguished ancestor of distin
pul.shed descendants now living, and
the Chevalier du Blgnon, the original
of that illustrious Georgia family.
False reports of this new country
had led these two Frenchmen to think
that the Island abounded in illimitable
resources. To them this chip of the
Georgia coast was a kind of El Dorado
with greater promise of riches than
Do Soto or his deluded followers ever
dreamed of. In the gay world of Paris
they were pointed out as the noblemen
upon whom fortune had smiled, and
when the Chevalier du Blgnon rode by
people would stare and talk about his
wonderful wealth, for his bearing was
haughty and the pride of his behavior
great.
As to the old Vlcomte, when luck was
111 and made htm loser In bis game,
there came a dark scowl on his grim
vl?age, but at a thought this would clear
quickly away and an expression of
serene satisfaction would follow.
"Sacre dleu! What care I that I lose!
On with the game! Have I not riches
uncovered In my new found land?
What aTe a few francs to me, a favor
ite of fate? On with the game! The
loss Is a mere trifle!" and the Vlcomte
de Boufeuillet would smite his thigh
and laugh fear away.
So the old man placed much value on
this distant territory, and he had high
hopes for what would come from this
land beyond the seas. There was
nothing dearer than this land to bim,
unless it was his daughter, of whom
it was said there was none more beau
tiful in the land of the fleur-de-lis.
Stately of mien and comely of person,
and more graceful than the deer that
hid In the dark foliage of her father's
forest, all the gallant youths of thej
land came to do homage and kneel at
the shrine of "La Belle Marie."
But the fair maid had no favorite
among these suitors, and in defiance of
the fervent protestations of her fero
cious father that she should give her
hand to some lord of high degree,,
laughed scornfully if an adorer of this
titled nobility should strike hla heart,
swearing to love and protect her. Men
said she was a soulless beauty, that her
reckless nature was Impervious to all
fine feeling and soft sentiment
But men did not know, neither did
the Vlcomte de Boufeuillet
She bad a secret, this daughter of
France.
"What If he should know? What If
her father should discover that she had
given her love to her cousin Louis;
that she had plighted her troth to him
years ngo when an orphan lad he had
come from his home In the hills to live
with the Vicomte. Would not her
father storm and rage like a Hon should
he know the truth? Perhaps he might
be glad In lior happiness. Who knew?
Purely Louis was a man of fine ap
pparancc and there was no braver in
all France. Ilnd he not pierced a
count's son to the heart with a hand
that could not bide Insult? There was
no knight courtlier than he. Rather
than offend a lady he woula give his
life blood. Surely to love such a man
was no dishonor."
And thus did the girl ponder, and
sometimes she menaced to bid bold de
fiance and divulge all to the old Vi
comte, but her cousin was timorous
and cautioned it were best to wait un
til be could make his merit known and
then a time would come when, by dint
of glorious achievements, he could
come to claim his own with usury.
The days sped by and the old Vlcomt
bad given himself up to the game.
The turmoil of the ball was great one
Routea dellbeiuiiuii alia tvere uJiauig
lere and there in blind confusion. The
lousemalds shuddered and wept hys
rlcally. There was gloom about the
treat hall. The heavy voice of the VI
omte echoed down the corridors, for
;ls wrath was surging and his unbri
ded fury swept everything before it
He had lost lost heavily. In the
ixcltement of the play he bad risked a
fortune. It was gone off like chaff.
In his passion at the sudden change of
thance he had Insulted bis companions
ind rushed from the door like a wild
nan. On his ride borne he bad pum
neled the pate of his coachman and
whipped his horses until they were
locked with foam.
For days he remained in bla bed
ihamber alone and no one dared ap
proach him. Gradually has wrath sub
ilded. With returning reason came a
mrpose.
It happened that he called for his
tlnsman, Louis, who hesitated at first,
for he well knew the intense temper
f the Vlcomte. The mood of his kins
man, however, had changed. He was
almost Joyful when he met the young
man and began to talk of the Georgia
Island, where were treasures and re
teurcM In abundance. It was now
Qms far thia pasesslp o jjald oj its
f riches. -' It was to Louis that he woula
luu uai we nuu. tie wouia go xo we
Georgia coast, take control of the lands
' there and aend back wealth and plenty. '
It was a mission upon which the VI-;
comte bad long been bent but it was
Impossible for him at that crisis to '
leave France, and his young kinsman
must go for him. It was an opportuni
ty, too, for this young man to obtain
the riches he bad long desired, for this
new country would bloom and open up
Its untold bounty to bim.
Offered as a suggestion, this purpose
came as a decision, for what this man
proposed was always construed as a
law immutable and unwavering.
I Heavy and sad was the heart of the
daughter when this inexorable decree
reached her sympathetic ear. In the
frenzy of ber grief she waa for telling
her father all, but the restraining hand
of Louis eld her back, and he said it
would be best to wait until be met
luccess In the far-away country.
The young man left, and it was a
grievous day for the daughter of the
j Vlcomte.
I It was a sad spectacle that met his
' eyes on this side of the waters. Sapelo
i was a tangled waste of wild woor, a
wilderness of dark, impenetrable for
ests, where druld oaks bung heavy
with gray moss and the palmetto
sprang up in rank profusion. Places
had been cleared out here and there by
j experimental redskins. In a cottage
on the lower end of the island, occu
pied by the keeper of the place, the for
eigner took shelter. Dazed at first with
t disappointment and the gloomy pros
pect be was on the point of returning
to his native land, but a few days' stay
accomplished a wonderful change. The
J wild life of the country began to at
tract the young Frenchman. In his
I own country bis haughty spirit bad
been hampered. Conscious there of his
1 poverty and forced to depend upon the
I charity of bis irascible kinsman, to
whose unreasonable dictates be was
bound to submit under the Influence
of this uncivilized spot his nature ex-
! panded and the feeling of" a new free
dom awakened bis patriotism.
"Love Is strong," he would say, "but
liberty Is dearer."
So here the Frenchman made his
abode. He lived a wild, reckless, al
most savage existence, and of tho pass-
' ing of the days took no account save
: that they brought him a greater sup
' ply of game, for his love of the chase
was great
Nor did he take into account the
warmly worded letters coming at dis
tant intervals from the old Vlcomte de
Boufeuillet At first the old man ad
dressed himself affectionately, telling
' him to make great haste to bring back
! the money, that his coffers might again
be filled and his shattered fortunes
strengthened.
"The old fool, he little wots of his
error," said the young man. "But I
shall not Inform him better. His grace
will soon be as dead as a pig, and I
will come Into his possessions and his
daughter."
More vehement and frequent came
die letters of the Vlcomte de Boufeuil
let His rage bristled forth, but it did
not affect the complacent recklessness
of his kinsman. The young man gave
little heed not even when word came
one day that the Vlcomte himself had
set sail for Savannah, and Louis laugh
ed right heartily at the thought of the
old man appearing in that vast wilder
ness. But, laugh as he might, there came at
times a serious presentiment to sadden
his spirits. It was not that he knew
of the consternation In the hall of the
old Vlcomte not that he had heard
how his grace had belligerently defied
the supplications of his fair daughter
and had sworn to cross the waters,
where he would find for himself the
riches he sought so eagerly; it was not
that he had seen the ship set sail bear
lug the old man and his retinue it was
not that he knew all this, but there
were times when the wonted levity of
young Louis relaxed and he grew grave
and contemplative.
Grave was he that winter's morn
ing as he stood on the bold sea bluff
and watched the ceaseless breaking of
the billows, and graver still when
through the thickness of the fog ap
peared the outline of a vessel.
The Vlcomte de Boufeuillet was
there. His coming was like the sud
den bursting of a simoon, and the fury
of the storm was not greater than his
wrath. The thunder of his voice rose
above the sounding of the 6urf.
"It Is one of his bad moods. The old
man Is crazed, but this wlldness will
soon pass away," thought the young
Louis.
But he reckoned not of the violence
of the old man's passion, nor did be
know that bitter disappointment grief
and rage had for the nonce unbalanced
him In mind.
Therefore was he amazed when the
Vicomte flashed bis sword above his
bead and called upon him to draw hlf
own blade quickly or die.
Louis would have walked away, nor
would he have shown his steel except
for defense, but the Vlcomte was rush
ing upon him.
"Draw, dog, for by my bead thou
shalt die for what thou hast cost me!"
So saying, the Vlcomte made a furi
ous lunge, but Louis parried well and
could have thrust back his own blade
In a vital spot but would not His
carelessness cost bim dear. The old
'Frenchman had recovered bla guard,
j and like a flash had plunged bla blade
to the hilt deep into the Bide of bis
young kinsman, who fell there on the
sand and died. Sudden remorse seized
the Vicomte. The horror of his deed
brought back his scattered senses.
Gladly would he have lifted the head
of the dying man and called him back
to life, and he grieved to think there
was no recall.
He hastened to Savannah with the
purpose of returning Immediately to
France, but at that town bla going was
Intercepted by officers of the law, who
took him into their custody. Great was
the Indignation at what was thought
to be a murder without cause, and In
spite of his high station It seemed that
the life of the Vlcomte de Boufeuillet
was in peril, for then the English law
was enforced with unswevering severl
ty in Georgia.
And "La Belle Marie" she. too, bad
made a pilgrimage. Of the killing she
had heard, and sailed at once to theifter nrd labor with the following
Georgia coast to grieve alone and shed
her tears in solitude where the body of
the brave Louis lay burled in its sepul
cber by the sea.
The Vlcomte de Boufeuillet waa r
prisoner of the State. He waa In the
fast clutches of the law, and to plead
bis cause before the magistrate he em
ployed John Clay, whose descendant
itlll reside in the same city.
When the question of fees came up
the old Frenchman was prepared.
"I have no silver or gold," he said.
"All my possessions are In lands far
away from here, but I am rich in the'
possession of a daughter, the most
beautiful of her sex, and should I be,
' . A j ,. 1

( It waa the hope of having this beau

that led the lawyer to urgent effort

jje was acquitted, the old VlcomU

sleeve when he heard that his daughter
spurned the barrister who, pressed
t,v the Frenchman's promise, sued to

ROSES FOR THE SICK.
Their
Distribution Doe MoT Good
Than Medicine,
If the ladles who have their garden
full of roses would clip a dozen and
take them to the hospitals they would
be so impressed that as long as the
bushes are laden with this rich gift of
beauty they would share with these
unfortunates, says the Memphis Com
merclal- Appeal.
A reporter witnessed the dlstrlbu
don of some roses recently through the
wards of the city hospital. Tho lady
had a great double handful of common
garden roses. The first patient she
came to was a boy, possibly 14 years
ld.
"Would you like some of my roses?
she asked.
"Oh, thank you, yes," the child ex
claimed.
"Thank you," he said again as thi
roses were placed In his hands. "1
have wanted some roses for such a
long time," and burled his face in the
little cluster.
From bed to bed the flower messen
gcr went and on every band came a
oulful "Thank you."
One poor old man was evidently dy
,ng. He was a mere skeleton, and the
bones had worn sore place thro-igh
llie skin. The flowers were laid beside
plm on the stand, where he could sec
I hem should he ever wake to earthly
islon.
"If the old man sees them roses the
Kill be about the last he'll ever see,"
remarked a fellow-sufferer.
Another very sick one said. Jus;
above a whisper: "Flease won't jou
come again right soon?"
Negroes and whites showed equal
appreciation. One of the blacks wa
asleep and the flowers were placed on
his pillow near his face.
"Kee-ee," chuckled one of the con
valescent patients. "When be wake up
he think he's In heben, sho."
The women were no more apprecia
tive than the men. All wero full of
gratitude.
"Oh, they are so sweet It has beet
so long since I saw a rose," were fre
quent expressions. Every rose bush
in town is laden With blooms, and
while they last such pleasure and such
joy could be given these unfortunatet
If the flowers could only be clipped
and sent or taken to these afflicted

The latest big log raft experiment on
the Pacific coast has proved a great
success, the first entire success in the
history of such attempts. The raft
was built on the Columbia river, and
contained between six and seven mill
ion feet of lumber. It was made of
piles so closely bound together that not
a timber of the whole great bulk was
movable. The raft was started from
Oregon late In July, In tow of the
steamer Hlneola, and arrived la San
Francisco on Aug. 2, after as smooth
a trip as though It had floated down a
placid river instead f over a con
siderable stretch of the Pacific ecean.
It would nave taken several scare of
hips to trasport the lumber, and the

Soverment The Sacramento Union
finds that it costs Callfurnians $8.50
per bead to be governed, while the

and in Pcnnsyiuania $1.55. That is
to say: the btate Government of Cali
fornia costs nearly twice as much per
capita as the combined cost of the
three great States named. But this
is only the State Government Then
come those of the county and the
municipality which ate generally a
good deal more than that of the State.
In fact we cannot say that our show
ing in the matter of taxes is especially
enticing to the average man. Unless
therefore we can show superlative ad
vantages to offset the annual raid
upon the property holder, we cannot
hope to attract that portion of the

INVENTED BY A PRrEST
the foUafa Harp Firs Mad. Two Hun.
dred Tears AgoCurious Effects,
The iEollan harp is a musical in
strument which Is set In action by
the wind. It is not very well known,
but is very curious, and is supposed to
have been invented by Father
Kircher, the Jesuit savant, who lived
in the seventeenth century, and In
vented many Ingenious machines.
But the fact of the spontaneous re
sonance of certain musical instru
ments when exposed to a currrent of
air had struck the observers of nature
in times of remotest antiquity. One
of the Valmuds says that the harp
of David sounded when the north
wind blew on it, and it has been sug
gested that he had an .-Kolian, as we
understand it The sounding of this
harp by a gust of wind would, accord
ing to the London yueeti, be nothing
extraordinary If it stood near his
north window, which was probably
open for air and chosen for coolness
and shade in the climate of Judea.
Kircher's harp had fifteen strings of
cat-gut, and the force of the wind was
deflected to it by various shutters or
screens. In later times this was im
proved upon by Messrs Frost and
Kastncr, but was similar to the pre
ceding form in principle and con
struction. The A;olian harps in the
old castle of Baden Baden, and those
in the four turrets of Strasburg cathe
dral, are celebrated. These are all
made of strings stretched over a
sounding-box and require tuning to
keep them in harmony. They are
also large and cumbrous, and have a
limited number of strings, which
makes the music more or less monot
onous, and they are dependent on the
wind from one direction only. The
changes of temperature and damp
ness of the atmosphere make them
constantly out of tunc, and, indeed,
often cause the strings to break.
These difficulties and drawbacks have
hitherto prevented the A'olian harp
from becoming so well known and
popular as such an interesting and
curious instrument deserves to be,
but the latest devcloDeruent of this
harp, named the A'olia, invented in
1W1, byG. Crosland Taylor, F. K.
G. &, Helsby, near Warrington, is a
step in the right direction. Tho
music is produced by sensitive metal-!
lie reeds instead of strings, so that itj
never requires tuning, and as there
are eighty separate notes there is
great variety ot sound.
It is intended to bang on the bough
of a tree (and may be left therewith
out damage from the weather); it
turns round before the wind, and is
therefore exposed to every point oi
the compass, and the music passes
into an organ pipe, by which it is
greatly enriched and improved. Thei
principle of an .iolian harp may be
familiarly shown on a large scale by
the action of telegraph wires stretched
from one pole to another. On a
windy 4 day these will be found to
emit musical tones, rising and falling
in proportion to the strength of the
wind and tension of tbe wires.
Hector Berlioz, in his "Voyage
aiusicale en Italie," has given the
following curious effects that an .o
lian harp had produced upon his
lively and impassioned imagination:
"On one of those gloomy days that
sadden the end of the year listen,
while reading Ossian to the fantastic
harmony of an A'ollan harp swinging
at the top of a tree deprived of ver
dure, and I defy you not to experi
ence a profound feeling of sadness and
of abandon, and a vague and infinite
desire for another existence."
Chateaubriand, in "Les Natchez,"
compares its sounds to the "magic
concerts that the celestial vaults re
sound." Besides inspiring writers of
both prose and poetry, the iEolian
harp possesses remarkable properties
which act upon the nervous system
and cause very different impressions,
according to tbe temperament of
those who listen to its accords. An
English physician, Dr. Z. M. Cox,
asserts that lunatics have sometimes
been Instantly calmed by the sweeb
and varied music of an yEoIlan harp.
Other observers declare that -cLolian
sounds will produce sleep.
