had become more precious in proportion is it seemed unpossessible fearful lest his coining, as suggested by her. appearance, was inopportune and awkward.But Mrs. Baldwin flushed, and smiled, and looked lovely, despite the old blue veU. And then he suddenly discovered she held in her hand the note he had. written he; six monthB ago, Bhe answered his inquiring look as she conducted him into the parlor. -'haVe-aiy-UHS momeat-reedyomr letter. ; .

And she dropped her white eyelids and half averted her sweet, blushing faae, and the answer enme through her parted. lipsvso low that only a lover's ear would have known she said, " Yqs." And Mr. Ammidon never finds fault when Ids wife "cleans house," because he knows if it had not been for that abused institution he might be a lonely bachelor in Mrs. Benedict's establishment.

irsnal care for her fiffaruoon visit to Mrs.

Benedict, wondering, as she basted the soft little niching in the neck of her sleeveless velvet jacket, and adjusted the pom's of her black silk overskirt, whether or not Mr. Ammidon would think she looked well, and whether, pos-

. sibly, he might not escort her home.

So her eyes were dancing with radiant bine sunshine and her cheeks, were flushing a most delicious rose pink hue, and her lovely month dimpling in bewitching smiles, when Mr. Ammidon came into the sitting-room, several minutes before the time for the dinner-bell to ring Mr. Ammidon, handsomer than die had ever seen him, in a dark bine doth soft, with white tie, and his lace w grAqfliy intelligent and animated as he --spoke, very quietly, but with ail Ins fate inhjs words and she so smiling, so an conscious. " Iam very glad to see jbu, Mrs, Baldwin;, Didn't yon find it very cool This afternoon Then ahe met his. gaze, and hating herself becaaso her heart was throbbing so gladly at sight of him and despising herself, because he had thrilled her from head to foot. Then, never knowing her fate was in it, she tamed her beau tiful face carele sly away and withdrew her hand, and ndHweredhim : - "No; I thought it was charmingly pleasant" '. And Mr. Ammidon recoiled as if he had lieen struck a dreadful blow, and ioukl not, for tho life of him, console himself with the conviction that women were foots 'and men were well rid of them; ' The next-, day lie told Mrs. Benedict he wmld. want, his apartments any ngr, aoil hiul his - trunks ' packed and . nt to a h-b-U .

And the winter- crept softly along- in .oft, 'white, snowy robes, and several times Mrs, Baldwin saw Mr. Ammidon ihrving past, although he didn't do mure as he passed than glance carelessly at the window and bow. '' ' And the street, warm spring days came, and with perfumy hints of roses and woodbine,' -and fresh emerald leaves and climbing vines, and bursting blossoms, came Bessie Baldwin's fate, in thexhape of the unromautic, the inevitable -spring cleaning that must be -undertaken and aceomnnshed. no matter how temDtiiur-

"Oh, a dozen reasons. FjrHtancl foremost, times have changed, and the hired man has changed with 'em. Ah! sir, it makes me sad when I think of the hired men we had before the war great big fellers with the strength of an ox and the vim of a locomotive. I didn't have to holler my lungs out to git one of 'em out of bed at 3 o'clock in the morning, and it was all I could do to coax 'ein to 'go to bed at 10 o'clock at night I'm

afraid that we shan't never see no more hired men wutii keepin' around for their ioarL" . 'i "That's sadl"."" " t's sad, and more,' too. Now, as 1said, I want a hired man. I'm willing to pay $11 or $12. a month for a smart one. Borne fanners, want a man to work all day and all night, but that ain't me. I have never asked one to git out of bed before 3 o'clock never. I alius give my man three-quarters of an hour at noon, unless the hogs git out or cattle break in or a shower is coming np. After a man has -'wfrfced right along for nine honrs his system wairttf at least half- an hour to brace up in. They don't quit vork on some farms till 8 o'clock, but I'm no such slave driver.. At half-past 7 I tell my man to knock off! All lie has to do after that is to feed the stock, out a little - wood, mow some grass for the horses, milk four cows, fill np the water trough, start a smudge in the smoke-honse, and pull a few weeds in the garden. I never had a hired man who d'.dn't grow fat on my work, and they alias left me feeling that' they hadn't half earned their wages." He stopped long enough -to wipe a tear from his eye,' and then went on: "And now look at the hired man of to-dayf He wears whit shirts and collars. Ho won't eat with a knife. He wants napkins when he eats, and if we don't liaug up a clean towel once a week he wipes on his handkercher. Call him at 3 and he gets up at 6. Hy wants a whole hour at iioon, and after snpper he trots off to a sffcging school or sits down to a newspaper. Fifteen years ago if my hired mnn was sick for hidf a day I oould dock him. If he died I could take out a month's wages for the trouble. He was glad to get store orders for his pay, and he would wash in the rain barrel and wipe on the clothes-lino. There's bin a change, sir an awful change, and if a reaction don't set in pretty soon, yon will witness the downfall of agriculture in this country." "Then you won't hire another?" "Wall, I can't just say. Work is powerfully pressing, but I'm - going slow. Before I hire him I waut to know whether he's a man who'll pass bis plate for more meat and taters, and whether we've got to use starch in doing np his shirts.

CELESTIAL HORSEMANSHIP.

At.

VtTtd Dearrlrllan of Cniasanaa

eaait I Stale m Buoaiax Breaw I Bill Nye. When Chinaman does' most -anything in his own jieculia Oriental style, it is pretty apt to attract attention; but when he gets on a bucking bronco with the cheerful assurance of a man who understands his business, and has been conversant with the ways of the bronco for over two thousand years, the great surging mass of humanity ceases to surge, and stands . with, bated, breath and watches tho exhibition with unflagging interest A Chinaman does not grab the bit of the bronco and yank it around until tho noble steed can see thirteen' new and peculiar kinds of fireworks, or kick him in the stomach and knock his ribs loose, or swear at him till the firmament gets loose and begins to roll together . like a scroll, but he does his hair up in an Oriental wad behind and jabs a big hairpin into it and smiles, and says something like what a Guinea hen would say if she got excited and tried to report one of Bjoernstjerne Bjoernson's poems backwords in his native tongue. Then he gets on the wrong side and slides into the saddle, making a remark as though something inside of him had broken loose, and the grand difficulty begins. At first the bronco seems surprised and tpmnnrftrilv rattlnd inteliectuitllv.

'and he stands iiily in the glad sunlight

and allows his mental equilibrium to wabble back into the place while the Chinaman makes some observations that sound like the distant melody of a Hancock Club goinp home at 2 o'clock in the morning, and all talking at one and the same tune. By and by the bronco shoots athwart the snnny sky likea thing of life, and comes down with all his legs in a cluster .like a bunch of asparagus,- and with a

great deal of force and expression.

This movement turows the uhinaman s liver ilito the northwest corner of the thorax and his nppei left hand denoeiessimo into the middle of the subsequent week, but he does not complain. He opens his month and breathes in all the atmosphere that the rest of the universe can spare, and readjusting his shirttail so that it will have the correct inclination toward the horieon, he gently tickles the bronco on the starboard quarter with the cork sole of his corpulent shoe. This fmiHi-provokihg movement throws tho bronco into the wildest hysterics, and for twenty miuutes the spectutors don't see anytiiing distinctly. The autumn sunlight seems to bo mixed up with blonde bronco, and the softened haze of October seems fraught with pale bine shirt-tail and disturbed Chinaman, moviog in an irregular orbit, and occasionally throwing off meteoric articles of apparel asid his pre-historic chunks of infteueous profanity of the vintage of Confucius, marked B. 0., 1860. When the akv clears up & little the Chinaman's hair has come down and hangs in wild profusion about his olive features, lhe hem of his shirt-(lap is seen to be very ranch frayed, like an American flag that has snapped in the breeze for thirteen weeks. He finds also that he has telescoped his spinal eolumu and jammed two ribs through the right superior duplex, and he has two or three vertebno flortiug aliout through his system that he don't know what to do with. The casual observer can see that the Chinaman is a robust . ruin, while the bronco is still in a good state of preservation. But the closing, scene is still to come. The bronco summons all his - Jatont energy,' and humping his back up into the exhilarating atmosphere, he shoots forward with great earnestness and the moat reckless abandon, and when he once more bisects the earth's orbit and jabs bis feet into the tremblinir earth, a shapeless mass of brocaded ' silk and coarse black half, and taper nails, and Celestial shirt-tail, anil Oolong profanity and disorganized Chinese remains, and shattered Orieutal shirt destroyer, comes down apparently from the New Jerusalem, and the coroner goes out on the street to get six good men and a chemist, and they auajjfze tho collection. They report that the deceased came to his death by reason of concussion, supposed to hove been induced by his foil from the outer battlements of the sweet byeandbya. The Nearest Star. 3n as istercetiitg article on Southern stars, reprintoa In Sotence, Mr. Pope, of New Zealand, describes .ArpteCsatauri, the known neares t fixed star to the earth. Tins magnificent double star, he says, is the finest object of the kind in the heavens. Beside being a binary a tax of very

short period; everyone knows that Alpha .

(Jontaun is our next neighbor among the stirs, and "that it was the first to give np the secret of its parallax under direct transit circle observations. The color of this star is utraw-yellow, or sometimes golden-yellow,, according to the state of the atmosphere. When there is a haze,

of course the smaller star is somewhat

This

tends to give it a slight . brownish tint

when the say is not clear. Alpha uentanri is a star of the second class. Its siwctnim is very like that of the sun. Even the principal dark lines are fine, and they apftarenUy occupy the same relative positions as do the well-known lettered lines in the solar' spectnun. There can be no doubt, in fact, that, the physical constitution of this great star it., in most respects, the same as that of the sun. It is probable, however, that Alpha Oentauri is less developed than tee sun; for, Mr. Proctor has pointed out, its light is brighter than its muss would lead uti to expect it to 1)0, judging from the light of our sun ns compared with his moss. While the moss of tht star is to tLe mass of the sun as 2:1, the light of the 8101' is to the light of tho sun as 3:1. Mow, if it is true, as physicist have gool grounds for believing, that theun is, and has been very s owly but surely losing his heat, just as our earth lias most certainly lost an enormous amount of hers, there must have bten a time when the sun and his system were less developed, but far hotter and bright iir, than they are now when they formed, probably, a white star that is rjo say, there was, quite possibly, a time when, the liht from our sun bore the. name relation ' to- his mass -as- the Tight from Alpha Oentauri bears now to it moss,: We may also believe that matters are lesSadvn'ncedin the planets (if there are any) of t lis neighboring system than they ore with ns, ;

WAsmsoTow, July 9. CONDITIO or THE StjrFEBIKO PATUEKT. Yesterday was another day of favorable ymptoma in the condition of the President, the tnost favorable boing the discharge of

"laudable1' dr healthy pus from the wound. 4

This gives the puruiciaiis great confidence Hist there is hStuilger froto blood ftoisttaihg. The vi'llow cblor of the aklh has to some extent dianppeared,- and with ft all fear of the effects of jaundice. The President partook of more nourshment than on any day since the shooting. The weather was very favorable to the condition, and the work of producing artificially a batter atmosphere in the sickroom is tmg pnahed. Tho quickened pnlse ri sen f roia the process of snpporation, which was expected, and which in the opinion of the phyoiciaiu is profjrcnaing very favorably. The President maintains his coinage and hopofulness, and the chances of his recovery increased 100 per cent, yesterday. Tho only message of qyrnpathy which has been ahown tho President is the one sent by Gen. Grant, He has also been shown the resolutions adopted by the Williams College alumni. He has been told, howe 'er, that the public anxiety m his regard has been intense, and that telegrams and letters of sympathy were coming from all parts of the civilized world. sr.KKDta koto Ham . It is stated Cuat a number of prominent Washington lawyers are anxious to defend Guiteauon account of the notoriety it may give them. Some of these persons have nought access to Gniteau, bnt have been refused on the instructions of District Attorney Corkhill. Insanity will be the ground of defense, bnt It is quite certain that the prosecution will try to show that Gniteau is sans and entirely responsible for bis acts. KO COKBPIKAGT. Chief Brooks, of the Secret Service Division, who has been investigating with a view to ascertaining whether Quiteau was a member of a CoiiBpiracy, has come to the conclusion that there has been no conspiracy, but that Gniteau acted alone. Chief Brooks does not think Gniteau Is insane. He is only eccentric, bnt his eccentricity is of a fanatical and exceedingly mean rarjtty. coKOEBXtsto arrrfEAtK, "When will the matter be laid before tlie Grand Jury?'1 asked a reporter of District Attorney Corkhill. "No action will be taken regarding the case until the remit of the President's wound is finally detcruiiued." " What can' be done with Gniteau if the President lives?" "If the President Uvea, the crime will be assault with intent to kill," "Are you ready yet to give out the papers taken from Gniteau?" "That question is asked me by everybody, aa if thero wat, something very grave contained in them. These paper are not so very important The only very important thing I have is a full detailed history of the crime from its inception to it culmination, which I believe is accurately true. That, sin due time, will be f -en to the public. I will gay in addition that think it exceedingly cruel, considering the fervid state of the publio mind on this subject and the horror with which every man regards the assassin, that any man's name should he mentioned in eonneetlon with hint. He is an egotistical, presuming, dishouestman, attempting to borrow money of people ; claiming acquaintance with persons whom ba on'y knew by ttSS fact of hU going to them and speaking to them speaking of persons as bis triends whom he bad no acquaintance with at all ; attempting to obtain money by representing himBoIf as a man ot great politisai inntienoe, both here and in New York. Tc mention the names ot these citizens in connectii.n with this man at this thno is improper aud unjust. Whil everybody who has known anything about this mau at all has been perf i ,-tly willing to detail tome his entire relatione with Onitean, still there is searctly one of them bnt has requested that hi name ba kept front '..o public" "He was In the habit," continued Col, Corkhill, speaking of Gniteau, "of Roing to tin Bigg Honse, to the Arlington, and to Willard's. occupying the reading-rooms and conversing with people occasionally, although he was uoi generally communicative." "Iwouldhketo hear more about that detailed statement,'" " The Btateni'-nt to which I refer is a detailed statement of the crime, why it was dona, when it was done, and just how it was done, given by the prisoner himself after I bad told him certain facta that I had ascertained. -I then got from him what I believe was a correct statement. He was so solicitous about its be ing correct that he even sent a messenger to rm to return to the jail, as he wanted to say to rot something that had escaped his memory. H wai afraid I would learn it somewhere else, and then think he had concealed something fron me." ixrnta no ex-senatos comkuk.

An extremely encountging feature of the caso was the diHrmsttlon and ability of the sufferer to obtain rest through natural and healthy sloop, his experience m this regard being more satisfactory Mian at any time since he was shot. So marked has been the improvement iu general that the physicians in ehnrgo of the c ! no longer hesitate to speak very

Yesterday morning a bushel basketful of such lelten and telegrams was received by Secretary Blaine, Many of these letters contained handsomely engrossed resolntiomi adop'ed by civic societies, municipal bodies and business asscsiaUona.

President Garfield's condition yesterday was an improvement over tha-; of Monday, wh-m a fevirish attack in the afternoon created tome ilarm srnoug the mediiaJ staff.

The patient's pulse, respiration and emperature increase every afternoon and decrease i-very morning, but from day to day hey shotv . httlo ' change. Bnt whatever :hangu they do undergo is in the right hrection. 'Thai fact, ' together "with he fuvor.'ble suppimtiob of the wound, and ith r symptoms, all afford ground for a hope for the President's recovery quit gro'.. s stronger ' I .y by day.

Last evening the President said 1th a touch of qnerrdorurness that he wondered if tho few remaining years of hia life, which were all that he could nope for, were worth the fight he was making to (fain them; His-v.ife assnred him that the prolongatus of his lite waa well worth all that it cost, when he replied quickly that he had no idea of relaxing hit efforts in the direction of recovery. TWELFTH DAT. WAsajHeTeir, July H Tha condition of President Garfield, this morning, is better than at any time shwe be was (hot, and the hopefulness of his surgeons almocit amounts to confidence in his ultimate recovery. The fever haa decreased, at 2 o'clock this morning his pulse waa below 100. and his temperature about 100. Dr. Blis said at it' o'clock last night that ha was satisfied the culminating point had been passed and that the condition of the President will steadily improve from day to day. Bnppuratiori is progressing natnTau;-, the wound has a healthy appearance, nod there is little to dread now from secondary hemonhago or blood-poisoning. The patient oontinttw to take moro nourishment each day, and there has ten no gastric disturbance recently. Yesterdny, in addition to eating a slice ot toaiit, he (.hewed the breast of .a woodcock, bnt did not swallow the fiber. Dr, Woodward, one of the physicians in attend tnce, stated yesterday that the patient has suffered from "circumscribed peritonitis" since the second day, but fcist its extent has been reduced each day until now it is source ly perceptible. He says tho abatnraent of tho lnfUmmatidh shows that the bullet is doing no harm. On being asked if there were other signs of improvements ho mi id that persons without any medical knowlo.lg could not fail to reccnir a great improvement in the President's condition during the past few days by simply looking at him. "Hia eye is briytiter, his color better, and lie moves with less difficulty. An increased amount of nourishment has been given with good result, and the wound is doing well," said the doctor. Dr. Bliss said s "If no new complicafcon arises the President will be substantially ont of danger by Saturday." Dr. Hamilton Haul that for his part he expects tho President to recover, aud that he finds added cmiiw for confidence every hour. -'The Presidort," he sal's, "ia doing as well as can be expected, and hti chances of Meevecr are excellent."
