Mr. Powiloriy's Friend* Poshing Him fur , , Hie Democratic Gubernatorial Nomina tion. ScKASTO.v, I'A., January 24.—Some per " sous prominent in Lackawanna politics think that the holding of the Democratic convention in Serauton means the possi ble selection of General Master Workman T. V. Powderly as a candidate f>r the Gubernatorial chair. A local leader, whose relations to Mr. Powderly are more than friendly, said in reference to the matter that lie did not think Air. Powdt-rly would enter into the contest of his own course, but the friends of the General Master Workman, not only in Scranton, but in sonio of the other large cities of the State, were determined to have him stand for Governor, and if Powderly is nominated for Governor by the Democratic State Convention there are a number of people who will not be surpri-ed.

National soldier*' Home, WASHINGTON, January 24.—There is to be an interesting contest in the House over the vacancies in the Board of Man agers of the National Soldiers' Home, oc casioned by the deaths of Gen. John F. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, and ex-Gov ernor Martin, of Kansas. These posi tions are filled by joint resolution of the two houses. It is the custom to keep the board about equally divided politically. Both of the deceased members were Re publicans and the surviving members comprise three Republicans and five Democrats. It Is altogether probable that even were the House Democratic the the successors of Governors Martin and' Hartranft wop Id be Republicans. And v there can be no doubt that they will be Republicans, as the Congress is Republi can in both brunches. Several jointreso lutionsjiave already been introduced in the House naming men for the vacancies. The most prominent man on the list of candidates is General Russell A. Alger, of Michigan, who is the beneficiary of a joint resolution introduced by his old army associate and political lieutenant, General Cutchcon, who is chairman of I the house committee on military affairs, ! to which the resolutions were referred, j Another well-known aspirant is Major Geo. W. Steele, an ex-array officer and a member of the last three Congresses, i Owen, of Indiana, has introduced u joint resolution providing for Steele's selection. Other candidates in whose behalf resolu- ! tions have been introduced are General Gregg, of Philadelphia, and General A. L. Pearson, of Pittsburgh who naturally claim the succession to Hartranft. It is said that half a dozen other noted ex soldiers will lie favored by their friends. The only candidacy in any way political 1 in its character is that of General Alger, ' who. it is figured, wants to get one more string to his already well strung bow as soldier candidate for President in 1892.

MAKTHA. [i s ' She's a good gal an' deserves to he c happy ef anybody does!" Old John Compton gave the wheel of - his wagon an emphatic twirl around the • axle which he had been greasing. His ■- brow was troubled, his voice betrayed '' emotion. Removing his funnel shaped bat, lie wiped the moisture front ins wrinkled face. Behind him was his cabin, and in its r entry his wife was at work. In front of - him lay his crops exulting in the sun shine. He took the prop from the axle; • then he joined ins wife. i "Mother," lie said, in the same dis ■ quieted tone that had characterized hia . soliloquy a moment before, "mother, you think Martha's made up her mind about Berry Bradley an' 'twouldn't do no good to reason furder with her?" The woman turned from tho churn, ■ and drew near to him. Her movement ' was slipshop, her face as grave as his; ! sighing, she said; . "Do any good? Not a particle. I've j been agin it, John, the Lord's my wit ness. I've suffered torments; not a naclierl night's rest in a month have I had. But what's to bo done? It's the Lord's will, I reckon. You don't know notliin' about a mother's feelin's—a man cayn't, it nint natur'; but I've gotsome'n to tell vuu; you're her father an' orter know, though seeli matters kin pass bet ter betwixt women folks, kase they un derstand one another. "Last night I couldn't rest. You was sound asleep. I thought I heerd som 11' a-stirrin' in the child's room. I got out o' bed and crept 'cross the entry, an', a-standin' tliar at that crack, I heerd her a-cryin' an' a-prayin' in thar to herse'f, 'thout a sign of a light. "I peeped in at tho door, an' saw tho pore gal's face in tho moonshine. In all ray born days I hain't seed secli misery on a human countenance. She was as dead white as a corpse, a-settin' 011 tiie side o' tho bed with lipr arms crossed, bendin' for'ard an' back'ard, a-nioanin' an' a-prayiu' in whispers. "I knoived 'twas kase we'd been a talkin' agin' Berry, an' 1 went to her an' tuk her up in my lap—she's a pore frail little tiling anyway; she never was overly stout. "After awhile site told me all about it from beginnin' to end. Berry uster tote her dinner basket an' jino lior on the road to school mighty nigh every day— three year ago 'fore he tuk to drinkin*. She begun to love him then. She never opened her mouth about it, an' you know lie didn't come to the house even as often as Clem Craig, so how's we to know? "She don't dispute that lie's triiliu'. He's al'ays been kind an' lovin' to her, she says; an' lias promised time an' agin . to stop drinkin'. She thinks she can get 'im to give it up. He proved to her, at meetin', yesterday, by Budd Logan, 'at lie haint teclied a drop o' anything in toxicatin' in over three weeks, lie says he never will agin; but the's 110 tellin' 'bout them that's tied to liquor. He rnout start agin, an' what ud come o' her?" The huskiness in the woman's voice got the mastery of her articulation, and she went silently back to tho churn. She continued her work, but the dasher in her unsteady hand struck against the sides of the churn with unwonted force. She was wiping her eyes on the skirt of her bonnet. The subject of the conversation just reported was the only living child of the old couple; their other children had died before they had passed the period of in fancy. Martha was the pet, tho joy of the humble household. More than once the neighbors had expressed themselves against what they considered to be dot ing over indulgence of the girl on the part of the father and mother. , "She'll be eternally sp'iled," quoth one. "She's the only gal in the hollow 'at kin afford to wear shoes in summer time; next thing you'll hear o' her a-havin' a boss an' buggy," said another. "They put tier to school six months last year. The most 'at common folks gits fur tli'r children is a month 'twixt layin'-by time an' Christmas." com plained an old crone with a ragged brood of ten children dependent on her. His wife's graphic recital of the girl's unhappiness touched tho old farmer deeply. He could frame no reply. Walk ing restlessly across tho puncheon floor he shaded his eyes from the glare of the afternoon sun and gazed westward, whero lie descried a couple udvancing along the road through the fields. It was Martha and her lover—a slight, girl ish form in a homespun gown, a burly young countryman with a slouching walk. They came to the cabin together, both silent. The girl's features were regular and pleasing, her face deep and serious; fehe was about 18 years of age, the young Man 25. "Won't you come in an' rest?" she 1 I asked. . ..! rained tone, with a dubi | ous r." i glance at her parents. H< !l d. manifestly abashed, gave , the occi-p i sof tho entry a gawky bow and ana.ml led "Ilowdy," and took a j sent < n an empty soda keg against the | wall, which, in his immediate vicinity, was frescoed elaborately with strings of red p'pper pods hung up to dry. The titillating dust and odor from this vegetable made him long to sneeze. His excessive timidity or baslifulness, how ever, Unvaried such an outbreak. As a rule, young men in this region when they go "a-sparkin' " have little to say. Berry Bradley, while different in I many re-meets from the average "Sprout Hollow" sv. aiti, was no exception to this rule. If you had seen him, as he sat there, you would have taken him for an immutable mute. The pepper pods had incited his eyes to tears, yet he did not have the courage to alter his position, hut sat looking through the blur as pa tient ns a :.itue in n fog. B; ides, no other seat invited oc.u piuir - : vi- a dismantled candle box near Mrs. Con-pton's churn. The discomforts arising from the pepper pods were pref erable to a nearer approach to bis mo ther-in-law in prospect. The good woman finished lu-r work at the chui ii, and, without a glance at the visitor, went moodily into one of the roc;us t arrange tho table for the even ing meal; whereupon Berry moved slightly, got his feet and hands into a less tense posture, and wiped his eyes on iiis coat fjec-ve. The farmer picked up his basket, and went out io feed his horses; the visitor sneezed with a kind of bray, and left the pods. "I'd b iter be a-goin'." he remarked to the girl standing near the steps. "What's your hurry?" sho asked, with a quick, troubled expression in her eyes. "Do you think a man orter wait tell ole Gabe blows liis horn in his year 'fore he takes a hint? My room's wutli inore'n my company in this shebang," lie re plied angrily. "I cayn't he'p it, Berry," she answer ed, willi a sigh. "I've done all I kin. You oughtn't to blame me fur it." "Well, it makes no odds. I'll meet you at meetin' to-morrow night, an'll fetcli you home. No, I'm to,blame fur't nil, but you'll see. You've said you'd try me, an' you shan't be sorry." His tone was very serious, and lie walked away without another word. It is no small wonder that such a man as Berry Bradley could have won the maiden—the most eligible in every re spect in Sprout Hollow. Reckless and improvident ns this man was, void of physical attractiveness or educational advantages, he held the girl in his power by her heart cords, and through her lie held her parents. Reluctantly the old people consented to the marriage. Berry renewed his promises to reform with doubled earnest ness, and the wedding day drew to hand. People for miles around gathered at the Compton cabin that bright summer afternoon. The cabin wus not largo enough to accommodate the guests, so the space under the trees in front of the house was utilized for their accommoda tion. Neighbors brought chairs and stools; planks and rails were laid across stones to make benches, and various other articles of household furniture and outdoor rubbish adapted to the purpose were brought into use for seating the crowd. Many of the men stood up; some sat on the rail fence of the cow lot near by. Everything became so still when the parson stepped from among the crowd into the entry that the drone of the bees around the hives at the end of the cabin could lie heard. Berry led his bride from one of the rooms, and they stood before the preacher. Her gown was of plain white muslin. A mass of glossy brown hair fell in waves over lier shoulders. A few smiles, such as touch faces at fashionable weddings, even though void of sincerity, would not have been out of place, now that the girl's step was irre vocable; but the simple minds of the spectators were unlearned in such subtle arts, and tho upturned countenances mutely and firmly spoke disapprobation of tho match, and sympathy for the parents, for the bridegroom's character was well and unfavorably known by them all. At tho feet of the bride sat her parents, their gray heads uncovered in the spray of dancing sunshine which fell through the tree branches. Truly pitiful was the feeble semblance of approval which they strove to keep in their care worn faces. The ceremony was over. The most friendly of the neighbors shook hands with the newly married pair; then the throng melted away. Intense and em barrassing silence canie to the household with the departure of the guests. Martha was to go forthwith to the cabin that her husband had made ready for lier on some land a few miles distant, which lie had rented for the next year. Berry brought out Martha's box and a bundle of new quilts—her dowry—and put them in a buggy. The young bride kissed lier speechless mother, and twined her arms tightly around 'the wrinkled neck. With eyes brimful of tears she went to her father, as ho leaned over the fence looking fixedly at nothing. He turned when her hands touched his arm and put his rough, sun browned hand against the side of lier face. He did not kiss lier; she did not intend to kiss him. Such a mark of affection had never passed between them, hut a deep feeling was evinced in his dispirited de meanor, and revealed in the dimmed orbs benoifth the shaggy gray eyebrows, that more than suificed. "You'll be over soon, you an' your— you an' Berry, I reckon," ho said dis connectedly,with twitching lips. "You're ally's welcome as long as me'n your mo ther has a roof above us. I'll have Tobo Sanders drive your cow over early in the mornin'. You'd better take Sook, I reckon: she seems to ho your favorite. She's a good miich cow, an'll give more'n enough milk for you two." For a few moments after the bride and bridegroom had driven away Farmer Compton remained where she had left him. Mrs. Compton sat in the entry alone. She rose finely and went to kin dle a fire in the chimney. Her husband approachi il her a3 she knelt in the ashes on the wide hearth. "Never uiirid, mother," he said, plain tively, •'I haint hungry. Le's make out with a cold snack this time. It's been many a year sence we've gone 'thout warm supper, but I don't feel much like eatin', an' 1 reckon you don't nuther." Nothing reluctant she consented. They sat in the door and watched the sinking sun draw away his gold from the clouds, and saw the gloaming darken the low lands and drape the hills in j gray. They sat closer together than they had sat for years before, j Berry began his married life in a much more exemplary manner than was gen j erally expected of him.

Martha was happy. Hor husband ; was, indeed, very kind and attentive, ! and she loved ldm more than ever, and : secretly enjoyed the knowledge that her friends were now finding out the errors of their prophesies concerning her wel fare. But, aias! this happy time wa3 short. Berry had gone to the village to poll his vote in a local election, lie did not re turn as early as had been ids wont when he went to the village. Martha stood in the door, anxiously awaiting him until night had fallen. She heard the clatter of horse hoofs, and he rode up, Ids horse foaming with perspiration. lie alighted, leading the animal bunglingly to the stall. The young wife shrunk with instinct ive dread into the cabin. Once before her marriage she had seen precisely that unsteady walk, that languid drooping of head and shoulders. She knew well what it betokened. She made haste to place the supper ou the table. She could not go to him as she had been accus tomed to do. This he noted with quick ened sensitiveness on his entrance. Throwing himself clumsily in a chair, he glowered at her as she shrunk before him. The consciousness that he had broken Ids promise of total abstinence was uppermost in his ndnd. "A man cay n't tech a drap 'thout you a-thiiikiu' "at he's gwine to take to it reg'lar." he said, with a thick tongue. "The's reason in everything. A man haint v.utli that"—tryiug to snap his fingers -"that cayn't drink on a partic ular 'c >-inn like this 'thout making a hog o' hi f." With the table between her and him, she stoo l, pale and quivering in every fiber, unable to answer him. "Lost vore tongue, 'tseems. 'Lection's over. Pete Grogan's our next sheriff; stayed fill votes counted out. You kin jest Stan" lbar like a post till it thunders ef you want to. I won't make you be lieve what I'm a-tellin' you." "Berry," she said desperately, moving a chair to Ids place nt the table, "supper is reaily. Come before it's cold." "Don't want no supper," ho said, tes tily; "ain't gwine to eat at no table wliar I'm looked on like a brute. Cayn't tech a drop with ole friends I wuz fotch up with 'thout the whole world lie-In' up set." He rose angrily and staggered out of doors. She heard the gurgle of a bottle, and when lie came in she noted the bulge of a capacious whisky flask in his pocket, lie resumed his chair without speaking. Hours passed by; ho wa3 becoming more deeply inebriated. Ho sat, an inert human mass, with lolling head waggling, now and then, ou his breast, and was in gieat danger of tumbling to the floor. The lust pine knot was flick ering in the chimney. When it expired darkness would fall. Slio shuddered at the situation. Something must be done; she must get him upon the bed. She touched his feverish head with her cold hands. lie paid uo heed to her, breathing very heavily. She pulled at his arms; "Berry!" she called gently; "Berry, git oil the bed!" He raised his head with inflamed eyes and a bestial growl. She tried to raise him again, praying inwardly. lie got to his feet and plunged toward the door. With all her strength she endeavored to pilot him to the bed. Maddened by the restraint lier hands put upon him, he threw back his arm with brutal force and struck her in the temple. Then lie plunged into the darkness without and sho fell to the floor. The grayish light of dawn stealing over the hill tops into the cabin fell on the face of a dead woman. A few hours after sunrise a neighbor chanced to look in at the door and discovered her. Immediately he summoned his wife and daughters, and sent a bearer of the tidings to the Comptons. Before the mother and father arrived, Berry Brad ley's body was found in the river, not far from the cabin. In his blind wander ings ho had fallen into the stream, and drowned helplessly. In consideration of the circumstances attending his death, and the death of his wife, it was deter mined that his remains should not be brought to his cabin. There are few things in human nature more sublime than tho patient fortitude of the simple people in tho region in which these events occurred. The dead girl's parents drove up to the cabin about noon. While tho old man, with trem bling hands, unhitched his mules, liis wife stood waiting for him, with her back to tho cabin. Tears had not dampened her cheeks that day. Tho women standing around the rough coffin retired as the old couple entered tho cabin. Neither of the two shed tears even then, though their aged frames trembled violently as their eyes fell upon tho dead. Slowly and gently, as if Martha was sleeping, Mrs. Compton raised the brown hair from the bruised spot at tho temple and softly stroked the pallid cheek. "She loved him moro'n she did us. Poor little Mattie!" She retied the lit tle bow of blue ribbon around tho palo neck and went outside the door and sat down amongst the old women, and a few moments later they bore the body of the daughter she loved to its lonely grave on tho hill side.—Will N. liarbon in Youth's Companion. Turning tliu Puma. Mr. William Lant Carpenter gives in Nature an account of a tame puma which was exhibited in Montana. Mr. Wittich, tlio owner of the puma, had devoted eighteen months to tho training of the animal. Proofs of this training were given one evening at the store of the owner. The beast not having been fed for twenty-four hours, its master trailed pieces of raw meat over her nose and mouth, wkich the puma did not attempt local until the word was given, as to u dog. Occasional attempts were made, but n twist of the ear by Mr. Wittich was enough to control her. When meat was placed a few yardt away, the puma fetched it by word of minimal::!. and permitted the meat to be taken from her mouth by her master, who fondl -d her a3 lie would a cat.
