FREELAND, NOVEMBER 28, 1889.
THE i\ r World of Friday says:
Of the nineteen postmasters of the
first class appointed by Harrison yes
terday twelve take the places of Demo
crats removed and five succeed offi
cials who resigned under pressures.
Harrison's theories about the civil
service have undergono a sickly sea
change since ho wrote his letter of
acceptance.
IT is reported from Pittsburg that
the failure of the Lawrence Bank "has
caused but little flurry in financial
circles." The depositors are mainly
working people, who have all their
savings involved in the wreck, but as
the individual deposits are small
these capitalists are not included in
"financial circles," and their flurry
and excitement do not count for
iuuoh.
REPUBLICAN members of congress
from Southern States are giving the
country an object lesson as to why
they are so few in number. In the
speakership contest their votes are !
offered to the candidate who promises
the largest return in the way of pat
ronage. If they are true represen
tatives of the Republican party in the
South it is well that it is no stronger
than it is.— l'hila. Ledger (Hep.).
CONGRESSMAN FLOWER of New York
wants postmasters elected by the peo
pie of the various cities, towns and
villages in which they serve, instead
of appointed, as at present, by the
president or postmaster general. Mr.
Flower intends to introduce this sub
ject into the coming congress and
what a mighty bowl will be raised up
against it by the half-million Repub
licans who want to be appointed post
masters.
WHEN the Democratic party of
Pennsylvania revolts against the lead
ership of William L. Scott then the
Republican majority of 60,000 will
rapidly disappear. While it allows
itself to be controlled by that arch
enemy of labor it deserves to be kept
in the minority. Scott's views on po
litical economy are all right in con
gress, but what the public wants is
to see him put them into every day
use among his miners.
PHIL ARMOUR, the great meat dealer,
lias been put under arrest by Ser
geant-at-Arms Canady for refusing to
appear before Senator Vest's Congres
sional Investigating Committee. Ar
mour still declares that he will refuse
to testify as to his business, in spite
of arrest. Canady declares his inten
tion to hold his prisoner if it requires
the help of the whole standing army.
Bring the millionaires to time, ser
geant, just as you would a less fortu
nate citizen.
THE New York newspaper's are
loudly demanding of Harrison the re
moval of Wanamaker, who bought his
way into the cabinet by collecting the
famous corruption fund which Dudley
divied out in "blocks of five." They
assert, and with no lack of proof, that
he is using his official office for the
advertisement of his store in Phila.
This was clearly proven during the
tour of the Pan-American Congress,
when he decoyed the delegates into
the store, converted their inspection
trip into a private advertisement of
his goods, and coolly asked them to
give his business a puff in their offi
cial reports to their several govern
ments.
THE example of the venerable Presi
dent Eliotfc uf Harvard University, in
turning bis back upon tne Hepublican
party because of its unsound econo
mical policy, lias not waited long for
imitation. Dr Clark liidpath, one of
the most prominent teachers in the
Do Pauw University of Indiana, and
a man of influence and authority in
the West, has left the Hepublican
party for the same reasons. He re
gards the result of the recent elec
tions as "only a sentence of condem
nation upon the ruling party," for
whose leaders "the control of public
affairs has 110 other interest than that
of personal advantage." When learn
ing and knowledge abandon a cause
it is certainly doomed.
THE quiet, successful and business
like way in which the emperor of
Brazil was deposed and a republic
established lias caused considerable
commotion in Canada and Australia.
Both of those countries are restless
under the yoke of Great Britain and
from present indications not many
years will pass until they are free and
independent nations. According to a
prominent Australian official, now in
this country, the United States of
Australia is likely to be founded in a
few years with as little friction or ex
citement as attended the organization
of the United States of Brazil. The
Australian colonies are now to all in
tents and purposes independent, but,
if united in one republic, they would
take command of the South Pacific.

of the civil service law, died at Berlin 011

The empire of Brazil has turned itself
into a free and independent republic—
the United States of Brazil—without fir
ing a gun or shedding a drop of blood,
and what has occurred in Brazil is likely
to occur elsewhere under the same or
even less favorable conditions. The
progress of popular education and the
extension of suffrage in liberal mon
archies, together with the persistent agi
tation of home rule, have familiarized
the people the world over with the idea
of self-government. The masses no
longer believe that the classess have
any just claims to exceptional privileges,
and they no longer believe in the divine
right of kings, queens or emperors.
The signs of the times point to the
disintegration of the British monarchy.
In Canada many leading politicians and
newspapers openly advocate a Canadian
republic. They believe that their decla
ration of independence would not be
followed by an attempt to re-establish
British rule. The proximity of the
American republic, with its moral and
perhaps material support, would cause
the mother country to be exceedingly
cautious about resorting to coercive
measures.
In Australia, too, the leaven is work
ing. The Australians, like the Canadi
ans, are thousands of miles away from
their present capital. They are practic
ally a new nation. They have grown
up under American conditions, and
have enjoyed so much independence
that they naturally thirst for more. Al
' ready they are formulating a separation
scheme, which will be submitted in due
time for the indorsement of the crown.
The action of Brazil will give a new
impetus to these republican revolution
ists. They will be tempted to try their
fate without any unnecessary delay.
Their revolt may be as sudden as it was
in Dom Pedro's empire, yet not as un
expected. One of these days in Canada
and in Australia the recognized leaders
will give the signal and the people will
I establish their own government. And
on that day will come the opportunity
that has been waited for so many years
—the opportunity to strike one telling
and decisive blow for Ireland's freedom ■
—peacibly if possible, forcibly if neces
sary.
| By acting in harmony the three conn
| tries can acccomplish their aims more
j rapidly than by working separately.
Such a movement would not be, from
any point of view, half as startling as
the Brazilian upheaval, though its re
sults would be far more beneficial to the
civilized world. The opinion is gaining
ground that when the critical hour
conies the mother country will not re
sort to force to restrain any of her colo
nies. She tried that policy with the
Americans and was beaten, and will
meet the same fate again if she pursues
severe measures to tame the spirit of
independence. The crown is not so
firmly established now as to make it the
part of wisdom to send soldiers thous
ands of miles over the seas to subdue
powerful commonwealths determined to
j be free, and it is the knowledge of this
that emboldens the lovers of liberty in
Australia and Canada to rest at ease,
confident of the success of the coming
movement.
Should this trio form a mutual combi
nation and join funds and fortunes the
overthrow of the greatest and most op
pressive monarchial institution on earth
would be accomplished with less trouble
than was witnessed in Brazil. Home
Rule would then become a real fact, and
not the fanciful sop that a Tory govern
ment may possibly give to Ireland.
The British government has its hands
full in maintaining peace and order
under the shadow of its home parlia
ment and has no time or money to
spend in trying to resist the inevitable.
Let it come.
Keep On Killing, Tliey Can Stand It.
At the annual convention of the street
j railway presidents, held in Minneapolis
! recently, a report was received congratu
lating the association 011 the total collapse
j of the organization known as the Knignts
lof Labor. That is right, gentlemen.
Keep right 011 killing oil the Knights in
your reports just as you have been doing
all along by the associated press and the
j capitalistic press. To hear you tell it,
i one must think that the Knights have as
j many lives as a cat. You've killed them
I off, killed them dead, once or twice a
j month for several years, and one would
think that, after so many repeated kill
ings, you would leave the Corpse alone.
After all, now confess it, gentlemen,
aren't the Knights lively enough to
make you just a little uneasy? Haven't
you a little overdone this business of
killing them off on paper I — lndependent
Citizen.
The "killing off" process, during the
week ending Saturday last, caused the
following results, as announced in the
Order's official organ: Charters and
supplies were issued to 20 new local !
assemblies and 3 that were reorganized, j
These were located as follows: 6in j
Alabama; 3 each in New York, North
Carolina and Texas; 2 each in Georgia,
Massachusetts and Pennsylvania; and 1
each in England, Scotland, Florida,
Nebraska, New Jersey, Ohio, South
Carolina and AVest Virginia. A charter
was also issued to a new district assembly
at Glasgow, Scotland, which has 'J local
assemblies under its jurisdiction. In
addition to these, local assemblies are
■ being reinstated all over the country
which have not been working for several
months, and an increased interest is
being felt in nearly every section.
Deserting tile (iriuiil 1)1.1 I'nrty.
! .Three-fifths of the white vote of
America is Democratic. Without the
negro vote the Republican party is dead.
The negro controls the balance of power
in five Northern states and twenty North
ern congressional districts. Ex-Gover
nor Kellogg of Louisianna says the
negroes of the South are very suspicious
of Harrison. He does not pretend to
know the reason, but that the talk of
. building up a Republican white man's
party in the South, and the president's j
discharge of the colored people from the
J \\ bite House, has something to do with j
it. It seems more that the negro is at
last getting tired of the treatment lie
receives from the party that has claimed
his vote for so many years. Whatever
the reason the fact of the change is well
proved in Virginia. Democratic negroes
are no longer curiosities, but they are
becoming quite common.
The Miners' Examination Law.
There is a hitch in the enforcement of
the Gallagher Miners' Registration and
Examination Law. The measure was
passed by the last legislature with a view
to excluding incompetent men from em
ployment as miners in the anthracite
| region, and has been in operation about
three months.
The trouble in the present instance
lies in the fact t hat the examining boards
in some districts refuse to recognize as
sufficient proof of proficiency the certifi
cates issued to miners by examining
boards in adjoining districts. It is also
said that the suh-committees in certain
districts in default of definite instructions
from the board as a whole have been
conducting examinations for certificates !
in a go-as-you-please way, which has
tended to aggravate the situation.
When a miner seeking work presents !
a certificate issued to him by a duly con-1
stituted.board in an adjoining district he j
is entitled to registration. The members
of a registration hoard who refuse to
recognize the validity of a certificate j
manifestly violate the provisions of the !
act, which says, regarding the holder of
such certificate. "He shall be entitled
to be registered without examination in 1
any other of theantliracitedistricts upon '
the payment of tiie fee herein provided i
for." The law, it will bo observed, is
mandatory in this regard. The diffi- j
culty, manifestly, is in the lack of uni- ■
formity in examinations in all the dis- j
tricts. The law in this and other respects !
is defective, and supplemental legislation i
will be necessary to improve it. But
there is no reason why, in the meantime,
the common sense and experience of tiie
men who constitute the examining
boards should not suggest a remedy.
Let representatives of all the boards in
all of the districts meet and agree upon
some uniform system of examination.
A satisfactory solution of the present j
trouble would thereby he secured, while j
the experience gained would suggest j
modifications and additions to the exist- !
ing law, of great value when the time !
for further legislative action upon it had
arrived. — Phila. Press.
Correspondence From the Capital.
WASHINGTON, November 26, lswi. j
Some Republicans who would like to see Me-
Kinley of Ohio the next Republican candidate
for President are given some anxiety by his
running for the speakership of the House. If
lie is elected it will not benefit his chances for
the presidency at all, while they regard his de
feat as a very serious tiling. A defeat in the
contest for the speakership, they fear, would
put the presidency out of his reach, and they
consider it a great risk for him to take for very
small game. They regard it much us a sports
man would for one to shoot at a chance rubbit
while lying for deer. There is too big u risk of
frightening off the big game. The ease of Gov.
Foraker is cited. A few months ago Foraker
was regarded by his friends as a strong possi
bility for the presidency. He allowed himself
to be leud into a struggle for the Governorship,
and by his daring lie risked everything—and
lost. Now lie is not tulkcd of for the presi
dency. A defeated eandidutc for Speuker
would hardly stand as well before a convention
as would the Republican leader of the tariff
light.
McKinley's strength is declared to be only
less than that of Heed, and within a few days
the friends of the former have antagonized the
latter for the alleged reason that Heed is not
absolutely sound upon the question of the
tariff. The candidate from Maine, it is given
out, is suspected of looking with favoring eyes
upon free raw materials, for which a good
many of the manufacturers of New England
have lately, with more or less energy, been
contending. Heed's supporters, however, deny
that his loyalty to the policy of protection is
less sincere than that of McKinlcy.
Three things are going to be used against
Heed in his candidacy for the Speakership.
They are his want of skill as a presiding officer,
his antagonism to river and harbor bills and
his attitude on the silver question. The several
candidates are busily engaged in looking up
each other's records, all of which will be ven
tilated in the campaign, and every little per
sonal characteristic will be made the most of
JUS bearing on the candidate's qualifications for
the place. Mr. Heed's want of suavity is being
enlarged upon JIS an argument against him.
A LIVELY CONTEST COMING.
When the House of Hcpresentatives is organ
ized there promises to be a lively partisan con
test over the changes in the rules. The Demo- j
erats are determined that no Federal election
bill shall pass the House, and their first effort
will be to prevent chunges in the rules that j
will prevent successful filibustering against I
this or similar measures. There is a rule of the i
House of Hcpresentatives adopted as far back ;
as 18011 that the rules of one House shall govern
the next succeeding House until otherwise
amended. In the present code this rule is XIV.
Republican Speakers have held that this rule is
operative; that the outgoing Congress can pre
scribe the rules for its successor until the suc
ceeding Congress changes them. In the last
three Congresses Speaker Carlisle has deeided
that one Congress cannot in the slightest de
gree prescribe the method of procedure in the
next Congress. He takes Constitutional ground
for upholding this view, and is supported by
all Democratic purliamcntaries. The rules of '
the last Congress are |>eculiarly favorable to
: the minority. It will be to the advantage of \
! the Democrats to have the old rules enforced :
as long as possible, and the enforcement of the j
old rules would be of advantage to the minori- i
ty in opposing any change of the rules what- j
ever. However, if the Hepublican Speaker '
disagrees with former Hepublican authorities
! and accepts the opinion of Speaker Carlisle the
' apparent advantage of the minority will disap
i pear, and the House will proceed under gener
j 111 parliamentary laws until new rules accept
-1 able to the majority are adopted.
UNCLE SAM UEIIIND THE AGE.
The International Maritime Congress, which
j convened in this city, has transacted a great
! deal of business. It has discussed one hundred
I and twenty-seven amendments to the rule s
! regulating the right of way over the sea and
j the lights of steamships and sailing vessels. It
is hoped some simpler system than that now in
existence may be adopted respecting fog sig
nals. One fact hus been very appareht in this
conference. It is the suierior knowledge of
the English delegation upon nearly every ques
tion submitted for discussion. This is hardly
to be wondered at when the delegate who
speaks for England is Mr. Hall, the ablest Ad
j mirulty lawyer in England. The rest of the
j British delegation is made up from the first
■ maritime authorities of their nation. The
i United States delegation is headed by Mr.
j Goodrich, of New York, than whom no better
I authority could be found in our country. The
| outcome of this conference, let it lie what it
j may, cannot fail to increase the comity of the
maritime nations. It.
Woman's Career.
She wftfl a fair ffiii graduate, enrobed in epou
I less white.
And on her youthful features shone a look of
holy light.
She bent with grace her dainty head to re

whence hung the silver medal, adjudged to
be her duo.
! I watched her face with rapture as she raised
to heaven her eyes,
And moved her lips in prayer as her fingers

coming days.
To unclasp poor woman's fetters and froe her
from man's ways.

My thoughts would stray toward her, and I'd

what my graduate was doing, if athwart the
scroll of fame.
Among unseltlsh workers, had been written
high her name.
At last I chanced to meet her, but her books
were pushed aside.
While around a dainty garment she sewed the i

And at her feet her baby, dimpled, happy,
crowing youth.
Upon that silver medal was cutting his first i

'
The Green-Eyed Monster,
Mrs. Donza was the prettiest woman
in all Sydenham, and her villa was the !
best kept and most artistically decor- j
ated house in the town. Michael Deoza !
was a wine merchant, in partnership j
with his elder brother Joseph, and had
a largo connection in the city. The
brothers Denza were good-looking
men: Michael especially so. They
had Italian blood in their veins, and
something of the Italian warmth of j
feeling in their natures. They were
well off, too, without being wealthy.
Michael Denza was leaning back in
his office chair ono afternoon in No
vember, picking his teeth with a quill
—a look of perplexity upon his hand
some features. Notwithstanding the •
time of year, a yellow rosebud bloomed !
iu his buttonhole, and his dress was
that of a man of fashion.
"I can't imagine, ll he said, as he re
garded a newly-received telegram on
the table before him, "where the money
goes to! Ella is so very simple in her j
tastes. She scarcely ever seems to j
spend any money on herself, aud yet
this is the second demand she nas \
made for 20 pounds within a fortnight.
I don't grudge it her, Joseph, mind
that: but I can't think what sho does 1
with it. 11
"Why don't you ask her?" observed
tiie practical elder brother. Joseph :
Donza might have been as good-look- j
ing as Michael had he not been so fat,
but he was ten years older—a man '
verging on forty, and ho was of a
harder and more suspicions nature
than his younger brother, lie had no
love for women either. He had been ;
cruelly deceived by one of the sex in
the days of his youth.
"Why don't you ask her?" lie said, i
"She won't tell you the truth, of course,
but it may prevent such exorbitant
demands for the future."
"Ella never told me a lie 3*et," cried
Michael, tiring up. "I am sure of it.
She is as clear aud open as the day."
"Clear and open!" sneered Joseph.
"My dear Michael you arc a fool! A
divorced woman clear and open!"
"She is uot a divorced woman" re
turned the other, hotly. "You know
that perfectly well. She divorced her (
first husband on account of his cruelty
aud infidelity to her."
"But where can the money go top"
"Oh, I don't care," cried Michael,
impatieutly, as he pushed the paper
away from him. "I wish I had never
raised the question. I am not going
to suspect my wife of using it for an
unlawful purpose. Sho can do as she
likes with it. It is all the same to
me!"
"But that is rather a dangerous way
of tampering with fortune. If Mrs.
Michael does not spend it sho must
! give it away."
"But to whom could she give it?
She has no relations dependent on
her?"
"Can an}* one have a hold upon her,
Michaelf" demanded Joseph, suspici
ouslv.
"What do you mean?"
"Cab Ella have been so imprudent
as to encourage some young fellow far
; enough—l am only alluding to a flir
tation, you know—to embolden him to
t apply to her for money on pain of dis
; closureP Wo have heard of such things
with married ladies before, you know,
you and I."
Michael Donza's face flushed with
passion as he started from his chair
with a clenched hand.
"If you were not my brother,
Joseph," he began, but broke off with
a harsh laugh. "What folly I am talk
ing. and you, too," ho" continued.
"Ella flirt? Why, she is the quietest
little woman iu the world."
"Well, yes. She certainly has not
got on very well in Sydenham. I sup
pose this divorce business lias to an
swer for that?"
"I suppose so," said Michael,gloom
ily. "People will talk, if it is only to
hear their own confounded tongues. I
should have thought it would have died
a natural death long ago."
"So should I. That is what makes
mo think there must bo a fresh cause
for scandal. Anyway I should find out
where the money goes to."
"I shall do no such thing!" exclaimed
Michael, angrily; but at the same time
he knew that he should.
Ho quitted the office earlier than us
ual that afternoon. Ho entered a
smoking compartment of the train, as
usual, at London bridge, and, laying
his head back on the cushions, tried to
composo himself to sleep. But the
chatter of two young men in tho same
carriage arrested his attention. They
were discussing some woman, after tho
manner of their kind. ,
"She's awfully jolly," said one of
them. "Just my style, 3*oll know—
tall and slim, with gray eyes aud 1
brown hail*. Quiet little woman to
look at, but knows a deal, my boy."
"Married, Dick? Eh!"
"Married! I should think so. I
don't care a hang for them till they're
married. No bread-and-butter misses
for me," continued the creature, who
had not a hair upon his face. "I like
a woman with some nous about her
and who knows a thing or two."
Michael Denza listened to the bald
erdash with a fast-beating pulse. It
recalled so painfullv tho unpleasant
conversation he held with his'brothefi
Joseph. Ho took a hatred to the!
speaker, although he had never looked
at him before, and tho instant his train
i reached tho Sydenham station ho
I leaped out and walked rapidlv to his
i own house. His first inquiry "was for
| the mistress of it. The servant replied
that she was out.
1 "Out at this time?" lie said with a
j frown, as he consulted his watch.
; "Why, it is nearly dark. Are thochil-
I dren with lierP"
j "No, sir; they are in tho nursery.
My mistress wouldn't take them out
| to-day. She said it was too cold."
i Michael Douza boiran to pace the
room In a fury. Ho was naturally pas
sionate and jealous, like the race he
sprung from, but ho had never had his
feelings roused in like manner before.
The words he had exchanged with his
! brother Joseph and those to which ho
i had listened to in the train, all seemed
to rush back upon his mind like so
many flashes of electric light to dis
perse the mist which had blinded him
—perhaps to his own dishonor. In a
moment the twin demons—doubt and
suspicion—caught hold of him and
worked him up into a state bordering
on madness. Was it possible, he asked
himself, that the words of that vain
glorious, blatant fool in the railway
carriage pointed to his wife? lie had
always believed his wife to have been
a most injured woman, but the devil
of doubt had been raised in his breast,
and he was ready to believe the very
worst. And if, us he said to hiniseif
with clenched teeth, his brother's sus
i picions proved to he correct, and ho
! found that Eila hud deceived him,
there would he murder in that house
before the night was over. lie had
i been pacing the floor of the dining
room for perhaps a couple of hours
j fore his wife's step sounded in the hall.
| She came in hurriedly and nervously:
and, when she heard that her husband
i had returned home, it seemed to him i
j that her voice indicated more than sur
prise.
"Already!" she exclaimed faltoring
ly, "surely it is not 7 vet! Where is
lie, in the dining-room?" Sho opened
the door then, and stood on the thres
hold, a lovely picture by the firelight,
in her velvets aud furs.
"What has brought you home so
soon, Michael?" she inquired.
"Have 1 arrived too early for your
convenience, Mrs. Denza?" he answered
in a strange tone. "Have I cut your j
engagements short?"
"I don't understand you," sho said,
closing the door and advancing toward
him, but he could hear that her voice
trembled.
"Then I will explain myself. Where
have you been? Who do you come '
from?"
Mrs. Denza flushed scarlet. She j
was a pale woman by nature, but now
her eyes filled with tears under the
pain of her burning complexion.
"Why should you speak to mo like
that?" sho half whispered; "why do
you want to know where I have beenP"
Her evident timidity looked so like
guilt that Michael Denza felt sure that
his doubts would prove to bo realities.
"Because I suspect your errand, Ella j
| —more, I know it, and I am resolved j
to hear the truth."
"Oh. God," she cried, involuntarily, !
and there stopped. Her husband
stalked up to her and grasped her
wrist.
"I married you because I thought
you were a true woman, and would
stick to me," lie said, "and till this
day I never suspected you of double
dealing. But i have found 3011 out at
last, aud you snail suffer for it. Tell
1110 the truth or I will kill you. You
have been with that man."
Her eyelids fell before his angry
glance.
"Oh, Michael, for God's sake forgive
me," she cried.
"Forgive you!" he exclaimed. "Yes,
I will forgive you, madam; and I will
tell you how. I will turn you out of
the house you have dishonored this
1 very hour; you shall never see 1110 nor
, your children again, nor have another
opportunity of deceiving me, as doubt
less you did the unfortunate devil
whose name you bore before mine.
| "It is a lie," she cried, goaded into
resentment. "I never deceived him.
I was only too patient. He has said
so himself."
1 "Then you reserved the honor for
, me. lam infinitely obliged to 3*oll.
But it is for the last time. You shall
uot live to deceive me again."
Ho advanced upon her with such a
threatening air that the woman really
thought her last hour had come.
"Mercy, mercy!" sho shrieked. "Oh,
Michael! spare 111 c, aud I will tell you
j everything."
j "Tell me the truth then, if you can.
Have you come from meeting another
! man?"
"Yes! yes! I have'
"My God! and you can own it. What
is his name?"
Sho hesitated, and he returned to the
attack.
"Give mo his name, or I will strike
you to the ground."
But a sudden courage seemed to
have come to Mrs. Donza's aid. Sho
drew up her slight figure to its full
heiglit,nud looked her husband straight
in the eyes.
! "Strike 1110 if you will," sho answer
ed, "and you will learn nothing. But
he patient, and 1 will take you to him.
Then you can revenge yoursoif upon
him as you will."
"You will take 1110 to him! 1 ho stam
mered.
"I will take you to him," she re
peated. "But come at ouce, or it may
bo too late."
She ran swiftly from tho house as
sho spoke, and Michael Denza, clap
ping his hat upon his head, followed
her as in a dream. Ho could not be- j
lievo it possible she would introduce
him to the very presence of her love**
Mrs. Donza walked quickly down sev
eral streets, until she readied a poorer 1
quarter of the town, formed of small !
houses. Knocking quietly at tho door I
of one of these, she merely said to tho !
landlady: "1 wish to go lip-stairs
again." Then to her husband, "Fol- j
low me," and in another minute they !
had ascended tho narrow staircase to- !
gether and entered a bed-chamber.
Mrs. Denza seemed strnnirely alter
ed. Her step had grown majestic, and
her manner almost defiant, as she ad- j
vanoed to the bedside, and, pulling
down tho sheet, disclosed the pallid I
face of an attenuated corpse.
"There," she exclaimed proudly, as '
she turned to Michael, "there is the i
man I came from."
"Dead!" he said, falling backward, |
"you are fooling 1110, Ella. This is some i
trick of yours. What had you to do j
with tiis corpse?"
"I will tell you, Michael Douza," j
she replied. "That is the corpse of the ;
man who beat and insulted me, until
for my own safety I was compelled to
separate from him. He has killed him- ;
self by drink and dobaucherv, but he
was, none tho less, the man whom once
I swore to cherish. When his landlady
appealed to me some weeks ago for
money to buy liini tho actual necessa
ries of life I did not feel justified in re
fusing it. How could 1 have lived in
luxury and content, knowing that this
wretched creaturo was dying without
one com fort to smooth his passage to
the graveP Yesterday lie passed away,
and the money I asked you for this af
ternoon was to pat* for his funeral ex- '
penses. I was wrong, perhaps, not to j
confide in 3*oll before, but I was afraid
tho subject might worry you, and
cause dissension between 11s. That
has been all my fault. I leave you to
judge whether I deserve the imputa
tion you have put upon my absence."

had caught her before she opened the

"And was it all about money?" she

Beware of Nii^leilom.
Men must make allowances for
women as women if they want to bo j
happy themselves and to make their |
wives happy; and women must make
allowance for men as men. They each
have their own troubles and their own I
needs, aud often the one does not un
dcrstund and cannot understand the j
needs of the other. Men have their
own troubles and worries and yvomen j
have theirs; let each be assured of that
as regards the other and act accord
ingly. It will be appreciated—don't
be afraid of that. Beware of naggle
dom, my dear. The man that will
stand being Haggled at is a saint, and
saiuls are not as plentiful as blackber
ries in the world. There's male nagg
ing, my dear, as well as female—male
grumbling and never being pleased;
and folks who expect to come out as
"ducks" at the end of 120 years would,
after eighty or ninety years' nagging,
make a poor figure in a matrimonial
poultry show. If the man had been
grumbling and woman nagging ail
that time they'd look like two moult
ing birds and not like two well esta
blished healthy fowls. Each to he the
other's help, each the other's blessing;
each to hope to be witii the other for
ever and ever, and so to live hero that
they may ho lit for being together
there.— Quiver.
A Queer Find at Yale.
It is related that not so verv long
ago two of the richest middle-aged
men in New York city went up to New
Haven, unknown and unannounced, to
look over the Yale buildings and the
city with a view of sending their sous
there. They took a carriage to the
campus and there fouud the gentleman
whose regular busiuess is the care and
supervision of the college property
and premises. They asked him to
show them about, and he did so as
only he can. He made it very inter
esting to them, and when they were,
ready to go, the two had a brief con
ference and then the more famous one
(whose name begins with a $5 sign)
offered to his guide a $lO bill. "What
is this for?" ho asked. "Why that's
for showing us about, of course," was
the reply. "Well, I can't take it," he
said, "I've only done what I am em
ployed to do," and ho positively de
clined the gift aud retired. It is relat
ed that as the carriage rolled back to
the railway station, one of them re
marked to the other, "This is the first
town I ever struck whore a man
wouldn't take a $lO hill if you offered
it to him."— llarlford Courant.
