THEOL PEN TEST.
Lionel IIarcourt, at twenty one bo
came absolute master of a quarter of a
million. No wonder life looked bright
to him. lie had to but form a wish and
his purse enabled him to gratify it.
Ftiends flocked around him such as the
world vails fricnd3. They ate his din
ners, drank his wines, borrowed his
money, flattered his taste, professed the
warmest friendship, and he in the
warmth of his heart and the singleness
of his nature believed their professions
never suspecting what it was that ciade
him suoh a favorite.
So tiro years passed away. lie had
spent large sums ; how large he did not
know for ho kept his money in tho
hands of a business friend.
One day he dropped into the office of
bis agent and called tor a thousand dol
lars. " You are spending money fast, IIar
court," said his friend.
" That's what money was made for,
is'nt it ? " said IIarcourt.
" Yes, but"
" And I am liberally provided. It
will take me a long time to spend a
quarter of a million.''
" No, not at the rate you have been
epending money for the last two years."
" You don't mean that." said the
you dc man seriously,
Yes 1 do."
" Have I exceeded iuj ir.como ? "
" Largely."
" How largely."
" Within the last two years you havo
got rid of one hundred thousaud dol
lars. You, can judge how long your
money will last at that rate."
" Three more years-"
" Yes, if you continue ; but that I
hope you won't do."
And yet," said narcourt respect
fully, " it has been so pleasant to gather
my iriends about me. Such warm
hearted, pleasant fellows I "
His friend regarded him fixedly.
' You have perfect confidence in
their friendship ? "
" Yes."
" And vou don t think tfiey aro .
traded by your dinners and your readi
ness to give it, since not ono in ten of
your loans will ever be paid ? "
' UI course 1 ao not iqiok so Daseiy
of them," said young IIarcourt, very in
dignantly.
" You think their friendship wouia
be unchanged if you were to lose all
your money ? '
Certainly ; you are a cynic wason,
or you would never aonyi tt,
Suppose you put tnem to tne test,
said his iriend quietly.
How co vou mean I
This. Let me report that you have
lost money by speculation you know

I'll do it,' said he promptly. When

Very well. You'll find I am right
and that I don't rely vainly upon the

' I hope you may be right. It will
iucreaso my respect for human nature.
Tho next day it was currently report.
ed that Lionel IIarcourt was a Dank
runt. His evtravagant living and uu
fortunate speculations had brought
about tho disastrous result. Every
body was surprised at first. His friends
rctrrettcd tho dinners they had lost, and
tho purse which had ever been open to
thorn. How rnucu more tney regret
ted will appear in tho sequel.
It was wilh rather singular feelings
that Lionel IIarcourt started to vinit his
friends, knowing that his bankruptcy
bad boon reported.
He met l ied llolton in the street
Ah. friend Bolton,' said he, How
are you ? '
How aie you, IIarcourt ? ' said Bol
ton, but not with his usual cordiality :
eorry to near ot your loss of fortune.

ies, 11 is UDiuckiy, but i never
valued money so niuch as friends,

Yes, of course,' said Bolton iu an cm
barrasscd manner. I hope you will.'
He bad borrowed two thousand dol
lars oi IIarcourt, ouly a fchort time be
fore, which he didu't mean to pay if he
could belp it, tnougn abundantly alia.
He was afraid Uarcourt wauli mention
it, and he wanted to get away. In his
loose unbuciness like fashion, IIarcourt
RID 0 WAY, FENNA.,
had ceglected to take any acknowledge,
ment of the money he had loaned, and
their was no legal proof of it.
' Uf course, it 1 can belp you in any
way, I will,' he said coldly. " I sup.
pose you will be looking for a situation

Have yon a vacanoy in yours, Bol.
ton ? ' asked IIarcourt beginning to un.
derstand for the first time a man who he
had foted and obliged.
1 Well, no.' taid Bolton, ' but! may
hear of some place.' ,
' I won t trouble you. Mason has of
fered me a clerkship,'
' Has he indeed. You. bad better
take it by all means.'
' I don t know : I thought I might

' liut you need capital.
Yes, I know. But I have provided
for all my debts, and have enough owing
to me to start mc in a small business.

one thousand and you two thousand,
then their are some smaller sums.'
' I owe you two thousand dollars !
surely you must be mistaken.'
' Not at all. A year since you bor
rowed a thousand.'
' I repaid it. You have forgotten.'
' And three months since you borrow
ed a thousand. Both aro still due.'
' Then you have rry notes ? '
' None were given.'
' 1 1 egret to say you are under a mis
understanding, I owe you nothing :
but if a loan of fifty dollars will be of

. 'I bid you . good morning, sir.
here has indeed been a misunderstand.
ing. 1 tho t you my friend j but I now
discover my mistake.'
Lordly airs for a bankrupt I ' said
Bolton to himself ' tie can't prove
the debt, and I can't afford to let two
thousand dollars go when I ean as well
retain them.'
IIarcourt, indignant and disappointed
at Bolton's baseness, kept on his way
until be reached Talbot's store.
Is Mr. Talbot in ? ' he inquired of
one of the clerks.
I will go and see.'
Who is it 1" asked Talbot, who was
reading a newspaper.
Tell him I am particularly engaged,
was the reply. -
This auiwer was carried to Lionel.
1 Docs he know who it is r
Yes sir, he inquired.'
Lionel smiled slightly, turned and
left the store.
He caucht sight of his friend Gray,
oc the other side of the street.
' Oh, Gray, good morning I
' Good morning, IIarcourt,' said
Gray, half cordially, curious to know
the particulars of his friends ruin"
What is this I hear I Are you really
bankrupt ? Shan't you save anything T '
' My debts are all provided tor iuch-
ly, and I shall have clear the money I
havo rent out. I believe you '
Excuse me, IIarcourt, said Gray,
hurriedly. There u a man opposite I

I couldn't have believed it. And yet
those men have eaten at my table and
professed the greatest friendship for mo.

the same way.
Miss Ridcely was a fashionable
young lady, who for the last three
months bad laid violent siege to Lion
el's heart. He was not in love with
her, but might have been flattered in
to offering himself if his prospetitj had
continued.
Miss Ilidgoly made a very slight and
cold inclination, ignoring Lionel's evi
dent iutention to speak to her.
1 She too I ' he said to lumseii. mis
repays me for all. I might have been
fool enough to marry ner anu go wrec
ed my happiness.'
This was enough for one day. Lionel
was convinced that his friend was right,
but was resolved to carry out his origi
nal plan and keep up the show of pover.
ty for a month.
On the next Monday he went into
Mason's office, a clerk on six hundred
dollars salary, as he took care to have
it understood. He obtained boarding
at a cheap boarding-house, and entered
upon a Dew life. Every day ho met
bis old fronds in the street. They just
acknowledged his bow and no more.
Lionel looked alter them with a quiet
smile.
I am glud,' ho thought, that my
eyes are open at lst.'
Bo things continued for a month. But
one morniut; Bolton and Talbot, walk
iug arm in arm, wore almost paralized
with astouLshmeat at encountering liar,
court driving up street in a stylish turn
out, behind a handsome pair of bays.
Lionel was elezantlv dressed and never
in his lifs had he looked handsomer.
' Good Heavens ! Is that IIarcourt f '
asked Bolton.
' Let us speak to bin,' said Talbot

" Come and dine with me to.da;
have been meaning to ask you to

for some time.'
So have 1 said Bolton. 'Dine
with me to-morrow.'
' Thank you gentlemen, both,' said
IIarcourt, Unfortunately I shall be
otherwise engaged.'
Just then Miss Itidgcly passed, and
seeing the fine equipago smiled sweetly
but with a surprised look.

tils friends had come back to him. They
endeavored to make up for past coldness
by tho warmth f their professions
but vain were their attempts to deceive
him. He had learned a lesson by which
he was resolved to profit. The irionds
who had deserted him were henceforth
treated as acquaintances. He lived
handsomely as his wealth enabled him
to do, but his surplus thousands were no
longer lavished upon selfish parasites,
but bestowed judiciously upon such as
needed it. And ho has never regretted
his trial of The Golden Test. -
Maximilian Shot
Official intelligence has been receiv
ed by the Austrian Minister at Washin
gton, and is confirmed by official dis
patches to our government, to the effect
that the ex-Emperor of Mexico, Maxi
milian, had been sentenced to death by
court-matial, aud that the sentence had
been carried into effect at 7 o'clock on
the morning of the 19th of June, by
shooting him dead with a file of Mexi
can soldiers. The dispatch comes from
the captain ofan Australian sloop-of'war,
which arrived on the 29th iust., draped
in mourning at New Orleans, direct
from Vera Crux.
Wo regard this execution as a disas
ter to Mexico, an insult to the United
States, and a scandal to mankind. What
ever may be said of his imperial enter,
prise, Maximilian was a liberal and en.
lightened prince. When Austria made
him Viceroy of the Italian provinces, he
was so generous toward conquered Lorn
bardy and Venice that he was recalled.
In Mexico such a rule as was permitted
to him showed a progressive statesman,

man. The end of his life shows that he
was a brave and solf.denying soldier. To

Circumstantial Evidence.
Perhaps there cannot be found a more
curious case than one which occured a
few years since at the British Museum,
by which a gentleman might have been
made liable for a disgraceful transaction.
He requested the attendant who was
with him to let him nee a particular
coin : he opened the drawer of his coins
and, pointing it out, observed that it was
the only coin of that stamp. The gen.
tleman asked if he was sure of that, and
was answered that it was a known fact.
The visitor requested leave to take it
into his hand, and on being told
that it was against the rule, drew a
written order from his pocket, which he
had procured from one of the members.
The coin was then placed in his hand,
and he examined it closely for a few
minutes and then returned it to the
drawer, which the man closed, and took
his laave. Before be had time to reach
the street the man rushed after him de
manding the coin. The gentleman said
he had daeed it in the drawer. It was
positive! v declared not to be there.
After a sharp altercation on both sides,
the man declared that he must search
the gentlemen : this he protested he
would not allow, and insisted on his
again looking into the drawer the coin
eould not be founa !
The police were called, and told to
search the gentleman. He insisted
vehemently that he would allow no such
a thing, and desired the attendant to go
back and look better in the draver. In
a few minutes he returned with many
apologies, and the coin in his hand :
had slipped into a ohinck in the drawer,
where fortunately it was at last found
Had it remained undiscovered, the gen
tleman would have bees placed in
most pitiable situation, for he took from
his purse a coin exactly like that just
found. Having heard that there was
one of the same stamp in the British
Museum, he bad gone tor tne purpose
01 examining it, ana comparing 11 witn
bis own. 1 he other one which was
believed to be the only one in existeuce
and this Jouud on the gentleman
would have been an everlasting btain
upon his character.

Th Cast oft Flogging at Tort Sedgwick An Am
erican Citizen Beeeives 100 Lubes.
Fort Sedgwick, June 16, 1867.
The case of which I am writing about
presents unusually interesting facts. A
stranger, very much afflicted with an
incurable disease, which incapacitated
him from manual labor, came up the
road, fU. P. R. R) about a week ago,
and loitered arouna Wilson's Ranche on
Pole Creek. On the 14th instant, this
man, whose name was Hendricks, was
accosted by two men dressed in citiiens'
clothes. They requested him to buy
them a bottle of whiskey, whieh he
consented to do. They furnished the
requisite funds, and he immediately
went to a store, bought the whiskey and
gave it to them. About two hours after,
wards this man Hendricks was arrested
and brought down to Col. Dodge's quar
ters in the camp of the 30th infantry,
before Col. Dodge, who accused him of
selling whiskey to soldiers. Hendricks
solemnly asserted that he did not know
they were soldiers, that if he had known
they were soldiers he " most certainly
would not havo sold or given them
whiskey." Col. Dodge, without trial by
court-martial, cidered him to receive
100 lashe. At noon on the following
day, extensive preparations having been
made for the complete and effective car.
rytng out of the sentence, the wretched
culprit was brought from the guardhoyse
to the place of tortnre. A rude cross
firmly planted in tho ground, attracted
the attention of the man, on which he
gated with dismay. Lieutenant Lanti,
of company F., of tbe 30th Inf, com
manded the squad to attend the punish,
ment. Gathered around to witness
this most unusual and un. American
scene were some 200 soldiers and a small
group of citizens. When all was ready,
Lieutenant Lantz ordered him to be
stripped, which was immediately done,
with the exception of a short thin shirt !
which barely reached his naked hips.
He was then firmly bound with his face j
to the cross. At a given signal two
soldiers armed with platted thongs, who
stood on his right and his left, raised
their whips aloft and brought the whist
ling, hissing lash full on the body,
which sprung convulsively upwards, as
if touched with red-hot iions. A broad,
AlV .uJ ..J Id.. . 1. 1-H
was lost to sight by the strokes which
fell thick and fast on the unfortunate
man. Gradually the deep, red wales
assumed a blackish color, and in a short
time crimson drops of blood rolled down
the naked legs, filling his shoes, or were
splatched on the clothes of the specta
tors. Toward tbe seventy nun stroke,
the flesh around the hips hung in shreds,
as if rudely torn by an animal's claws.
From the middle ot the back to within
six inches of the knees, the body was
perfectly raw and black. At lost a citi.
zen named beward, ot JNew Julesburg.
entreated Lieutenant Lantz to stop, 'for
God s sake. the mans screams were
awful : he bounded from side to side.
spasmodically upward, and hunir as if
lifeless on the cross. I lis lacerated body
was perfectly frightful. After 108
lashes had been administered, Lanti
cave the signal to des'uU. The orderly
sergarnt says he counted 82, but two or
three bystanders stated they counted
108. Leaniag heavily on the cross after
being unbound, he managed to dress
himself, atter which be was sternly or.
dered to leavo the camp and the military
reservation at Fort Sedgwick. Turning
one look toward Lieutenant Lautz, he
crawled and limped painfully away to
the sand blurts to tbe northward. A
feeling of universal horror at the cruel
punishment pervades all the settlements.
General Sherman had left for the end
of the track but two hours before the
punishment common :ed. It is doubtful
whether he knew anything about it
Flogging, bucking and gagging, and
