Then he charged me with tender blessings for Dolly, and, at his request, I went to ask nry mother to bid him fare-well. Presently she glided in, pale as death. She held out her trembling hand in silence, but Frank folded her in his arms, and she sobbed on his

breast. I stood by, weeping bitterly,

and, when we were calmer, Frank embraced us both finally, and, placing me in my mother's arms, left us. Poor

fellow: how brave he was, how gentle

and patient! In a month from that time Dolly was affianced to Mr. Daore, and the mar

riage was arranged to take place at the beginning of the long vacation. We were by this time convinced that it was the best thing that could happen. No

one could see lolly and donot lor a moment that this was the only man she had loved. His calm, intense character

impressed her; his great talents awed her; and her pretty, innocent pride in her manly lover, her meekness and quietness were most promising symptoms of happiness in her married life. Dear mother was so serenelv harynv 1

His sorrow had sweetened, not embittered, his character. He had set him

commercial gifts for the welfare of the widow and children ef an officer of the army, and, at the cost of time, talent,

and energy, to rescue her small fortune from unsafe hands and invest it profitably. His letters were filled with simi

lar incidents,, naturally and simply told, and our affection increased for this truly brave man.

Dolly's godmother took it into her j head that it was her godchild's duty to pay her a farewell visit before her marriage.

Holly's Last Flirtation. I am Kitty, and Dolly is my twin-stater. I waa always sedate, mother used to say ; but Dolly was giddy, and fond of flirting. "When we were 17, Dolly became engaged, with our mother consent, to Frank Wilmot, a young fellow of 24, - son of a banker, free and cheery in manner and disposition.

servant who was our substitute for a despairing, into an easy

regular lady's maid. She wrote to tell us how she was enjoying the repose and beauty of the country. Mr. Dacre bad managed to run down from Saturday till Monday at the end of the first week, and had of

course made a great impression, but

This is how Dolly answered my ten

der appeal : "What a lecturing little thing you are getting, Kitty! I am very much attached to Sir Charles; and, if Jack is ever so angry, I can't help it." Thus flippantly the letter ran on. I was really angry and distressed, but resolved to try no more lectures; they clearly made matters worse. So, the next time I wrote, I gave a full description of a day we had spent in court hearing Mr. Dacre plead. I described his dignified appearance, his easy, graceful gestures above all, I dwelt on the beauty of his nose. Dolly answered: "I am quite shocked at you, Kitty, to make such an idol of a nose I" And then she continued, as usual, about Sir Charles. Meanwhile Mr. Dacre seemed quite happy, and said he had his daily letters from Dolly as regularly as when she was with Mrs. Lloyd. Was my beloved sister growing deceitful? I kept all this from my mother; but I grew more and more wretched over Dolly's letters. A picnic would be "glorious," for Sir Charles was going. She had spent the whole morning "quietly with Sir Charles." Once he was indisposed, and she had "nursed him, played for him, sung to him." Well. I could do nothing more. I resolved to say not another word about him to any one else. I began to dislike the very sound of his name, or rather the sight of it; and when Dolly declared I should like him aa much as every one else did, I made up my miud that I hated him. 1 wrote one more tender appeal, which I said was my last. Every Tuesday mother anil I had Dolly's letters, but one day there was none by my breakfast plate as usual. Mother read hers. "Dolly says she has written to yon,", she observed presently. "How can it be that you have not received it?" Mistakes of the postoflice are so rare, we could but suppose she had omitted to post it. By the next delivery, however, I received a letter from Mr. Dacro, containing an inclosure which turned ont to be a letter 'so mo from Dolly. A few line3 from him ran thus: Tear Kittle I bad read tco much of the nclosed before I discovered tho mistake. If you receive a letter from Dolly bofo. o this reaches you, you will have, discovered she has mlssent the lotien. I shall run down to Higbwood without loss of time. I had not received any letter then, but. by the second country delivery came one directed to Jack at once. The letter he had read began thus : All you say is useless, toy darling. I love Sir Charles devotedly, and bo has this day declared he loves me. You ask me, does he

know I am engaged? 1 told him a - entleman

implored him. At last t kissed him, find he yielded. "Taking my hand in a firm clnap, he descended with me to the room whore I had left Mr. Dncro, Jack stoo;l, moody and stern, pale as ashes, whore I had loft him. We entered. I led Sir Charles toward him. 'Air. Dacro,' said I, 'let me present yon to Sir Charles North, Baronet.' Jack started paused seized Sir Charles in his strong arms, and threw him out of the- window ? no, kissed him! . For this Vcoundrel,' this 'fat, greedy, idle little man is tho dear little sou of Lady Milirent, aged just 2 years ! Now you see, Miss Kitty, you had better have had a little faith in your sister for once. You put all this into my head, and I could not res st the joke; liut it shall bo my last, for never more do I wish to see such a look of pain in the face I love best iu all the world. "Jack did not go back by the return train, though he was obligod to leave early this, morning; but I do not think I can stay away from him one day over

a month. Lady Milicent says you must

come to take my place, sue win write and ask mamma. You will soon bo as

madly in love with Sir Charles."

And so it proved. I went to stay with Lady Milicent; and of all the dnrlincr. quaint, noble, chubby little

pets I had seen, Sir Charles was the

king. At the end of $e year Frank returned in time for Christmas. He did not go back to India ; he settled in England. He and I were married

about six months after Dolly.

We both live in a lovely part of

Kent. Dolly s husband pets and loves her devotedly. My husband adds to

all his love a delicate, tender homage,

infinitely precious to me.

It is called a cantilever bridge. This

and means a bracket to sustain a bai

of the kind in America, there are two

brackets opposite each other, each rest

brackets rest upon and are fastened

down to another pier; the outer ends,

projecting over the water, sustain a cen

One evening he brought to our house s cousin of his, a barrister, a man some yean older than himself He was rather famous, though only 30, being an acuta lawyer, and consequently looked up at the bar. Dolly owned to me that evening that Frank had confided to her that I was Jade Daere's ideal woman. "So don't blush so angrily, darling," aid she, "for it would be the most delightful arrangement. He is Frank's ideal man and dearest friend. It would lie the happiest thing for us all!" And Dolly grave me a hug and a kisa and ran off to bed. Mr. Dacre came very often after that one visit, and I soon found that he was my ideal man, for he stiaagely resembled my father, both in manners and his chivalrous .courtesy to women, as -well as in appearance.

On the table lay a thick letter addressed in Dolly's handwriting. I ran up to mamma and gave her tho one I found inclosed in it for her; then I Bat down to read mine, after fortifying myself with a cup of ooffee. I must give every word of it: "You are well aware that a catastrophe has happened through my heedlessness. The best thing will be for me to describe fully the whole consequences of that misfortune. On our return from the garden party on Tuesday I found a telegram awaiting roe from Jack 'Shallbe with you by 7 :55.' Of course this awoke no fears in my mind, for I knew Jack might run down at any moment the trains permit. Lady Milicent sent me off at once to be dressed by her artist-maid. What she made of me you must have seen to believe, Kitty. I would not look at myself till the whole process was complete; and, when I glanced in the long glass, I was really amazed at what I saw.

NEW WtbEANS. The 01 1 Boccsh Still 1'rrralrnt anil Hitter. A. M. Thomson's New OrlemtS Idler to Chicago Joitrtial: I think, from what I saw and heard during my bojo.irn in New Orleans, that tho old "seeesh" feeling is more bitter there

to-day than it is in Richmond, the capi- j

tal of the Jeff Davis Confederacy, and her citizens have dono more t-hau any other city in the South to perpetuate the. memory and bitterness of the "Lost Canse." They have erected a monument in ono of their public cemeteries to symbolize tho Confederate carse, another in memory of Stonewall Jackson, and another to perpetuate the valor and soldierly heroism of Gen. liobert K. Lee. In my letter of the 3d of March 1 spoke at some length of this rebel monument business and of what I thought such things signifying to tho rising geueruon. If it is true, as many southern men assort, that they would not restore slavory again if they could, it is not true that they aro reconciled to the pocuniary loss which waa entailed upon them by the emancipation of their slaves. Many still cherish the hopo that when the Democratic party gets control of tho Federal Governaiont again the rebel soldiers will bo pensioned and there will be sonio compensation given to them for the loss o slaves. This hope has much to do in keeping tho South "solid" for the Democratic party, for these men know thai they have always controlled that pa.-ty when in power, and will control it again. I talked with one young man who expressed tho opinion that tin emancipation proclamation was a very unwwise act on the part of Abrahau Lincoln(l), besides being clearly unconstitutional! !), in his opinion. I attempted to justify it as a war measure, and tried to make him see that the damage clone the Constitution was not irreparabV). He seemed to think that the Government possesses no war powers outside of the organic act, and that the Republicans "struck below the belt" whea they shattered the shackles of the slave. The old "socesh feeling crops out in a business and social way quite as much as it does politically. As there is no longer any political organization in Louisiana outside of the Democratic party, there is very little disturbance except what the Bourbon& make among themselves. A Northern nian who attempts to do business in New Orleans is undertaking "a fool's errand," unless he keeps his mouth shut about politics. All the Federal officeholders in the city are looked upon with suspicion; being mostly from the North, and they are not favorites in the best society. One gentleman who waft originally from Wisconsin told mc that after residing in tho city for fifti-eu years his famdy were still held at arm's length, and had to endure the nocial ostracimn and isolation that are born of Southern prejudice. Manual labor of any sort is still regarded as a disgrace by the old slave-holding aristocracy, and those who are too poor to get along without it are always ready to apologize for having to do it and to assure you that they were once in better circumstances. The prevalence of this foolish feeling is well illustrated by a littlo incident that recently happened in tho city. An old resident, and one of the "first families," became financially embarrassed and suddenly died, leaving his family in reduced oircumstances. Two of the daughters, who hod been thrown upon their own resources for a living, obtained positions as clerks in a store, where they daily went to earn their bread. But they were not allowed to retain their formor position in the "upper circles of society," and the society paper made their cose the subject of unfavorable criticism because they had become trades-people. This strong dislike of those who work is one of the most hurtful legacies bequeathed to the people of the South by the ineradicable curse of chattel slavery, and it will probably cling to them forever. The most despicable man to be met with in the South is the whisky-drinking, tobacco-chewing, negro-hating loafer who is too pfoud to work at any remunerative manual labor, and who is not qualified by education and training for the higher grades of service. He is irenerally full of fight, goes well armed.

and when he is intoxicated is the terror of all peaceably disposed persons.

The Opening Campaign. The campaign of 1884 is opening. The skirmishers are deploying, and hero and there is heard a shot from the outposts; soon will come the heavy boom of the artillery and the rattle of musketry from the two great parties opposed to each other in such a struggle as will swallow up any possible side scrimmage with which political infants may amuse themselves. The columns of the Journal are sufficient evidence that the Indiana division of the grand army of Republicans is mustering to take the front rank again, as it has always done. There can be no object in Republicans misleading each other. Public and private reports are in perfect harmony, and, therefore, it may be accepted as true that in tho preliminary muttoring. the inspection of the party ranks and equipment has been such as to give hopeful warrant of success in November. But thiii hopefulness may bo easily overdone, and prove a weakness instead of an element of strength. No man nor no army can fight well unless thoro is such a stimulus ns brings every faculty and ability into the highest action. Looking over the whole field, and calculating the chances carefully, w'hile Republicans have everything to encourage them, it is nevertheless true that tho contest will be no child's play or dress parade. Wo have no patience with those carpet knights, those political foathe'hcads, who affect to see nothing of supreme value involvotl in tho strugglo between the Republican and Homo emtio parties; who talk flippantly and with poivillnKu about tho issues, or

rather the lack of iasutis, between tho

contestants; who tiKiiort that thero fe nothing involved other than a scramble j for oflice. Conceding the corrupting

inlluonco of the thirt for official place, :

it still remains truo that othco-lmlders i

and ofiicc-oxpectantH ure the mnllcst

possible percentage of tho whole peopie, certainly of the Republican party,

wlule hub ovil mlluence is steadily ile- i

creasing under tho wise operation of I

tne civil-service reform act and tho '

steadily increasing public opinion j

favoring oivil-servico reform. W lietuer i wisely or foolishly, it is still the fact '

that an overwhelming majority of the

WliQiiet er tho party loses ths power to

Urn vitalize the canvass with principles appealing to the higher motives of inte lligent, moral ond reasonable ineu, tho party will havo passed into decadence, and its end will be a mere matter of time. What is involved in the present struggle between the parties? In the first place, tho blooc: of the Abel of American citizenship cries from the ground of tho Southern States. Clubbed, whipped, soourgod, shot to death, the citizenship for which hundreds of thousands of men died lies prone in certain States. Thero is no use in trying to blink this fact. It starts up with horrid front to confront those who would drown its memory in forgetful loss. Like B-in-quo's ghost, it will not down. Conshatta, Colfax, Grant Parish, Mechanics' Hall, Ellenton, Haml urg, tho Chisolm massacre, Danville, Copiah County these, and scores of other names that oould be called up, mark a broad path through a dark and bloody ground. Only yesterday the Supreme Court of the United States, in an opinion concurred in by all the Judges, ntlirmed tho constitutionality of tho power of Congress to protect American citizensliip wherever it was conferred, and warned the American people against the lesson of all republics in history which had been overthrown by violence or corruption. Associated with this murderous prostration of the ballot iu Southern States there is the power of corruption which threatens a like prostration in other sections. What party stands for corruption in politics? What party nominates its candidates with sole reference to the "bar'l?" What party introduced Tildenism into politics, attempted tsba corruption of States and tho purchase of the Presidency? What party is the willing tool of the liquor league? What party stnuds to-day eaten through and through with plutocracy, and in which a poor man has little or no chance of promotion ? Call the roster of the Democratic candidates and then cull the roster of Republican nominees, and see in which party poor men have been honored men representative of the great middle class of the American people. Frankly conceding that there hu3 been much to find fault with in the Republican party, that here and there it has been tarred with the stick of corruption, it is still indisputable that the party has not nationalized tho mighty dollar, and does not march tinder the banner of any barrel, whether of money, Standard oil, or whiaky. No such" test of availability is ever mentioned in connection with any Republican named for high office. Civil-service reform in its best meaning is involved in the pending election. The defeat of Pendleton in Ohio, and the prevalent idea that the Democratic House of Representatives will refuse to make an appropriation for the commission, to say nothing of the general record of the two parties and the utterances oi their leading papers and public men, are evidence sufficient that Doiocratic success means to tarn back the hands upon the dial of cml-service reform. Individual and isolated opinion cannot have any effect upon the general trend of the parties. A sound financial policy is involved. There arc many indications tha; the wisest statesmanship and the most thorough honesty ore yet needed before the United States is put upon a solid financial foundation. Squalls are already beginning to arise, and a fina icial storm could be easily raised by demagogues and empirics, especially were the industrial basis of the country to be disturbed by Democratic success. These are some of the leading questions upon which the Republican party is right and tho Democratic party is wrong. They aro aational questions; they affect nat'onal policies. There are those local and minor, but which by many may be regarded as more impor

tant even than these. Whatever they

maybe, whether they involve public morals or private right, the Republicau party is still nearer the right and the Democratic party nearer tho wrong. On these questions.the parties will go to tho battle, and the man who thinks there is nothing in the wager worthy of his best achievement, simply makes an exhibition of his own want of earnest conviction.

THE SH0T6US ARGUMENT. Uved to' Break Up Negro I.ubor MassMeeting by a Georgia BheriO. UinieilgevlUe (Ga) Bif patoU to Chicago Tribune. A bright mulatto, named F. H. Clark, from Louisvijlo, Ky., is in this vicinity, and claims to be interested in forming labor societies, the object of which is to secure higher wages. In one of Clark's speeches delivered Saturday in Baldwin County, he said to the negroes: "What are yo,u getting per day, or month, or year, for joui labor? Some of you say 40, 80, and 75 conts per day. Gentlemen, do you know the meaning of a labor-reform society? Ill tell you just what it means. It means that you shall stop working for nothing for 'Mars' John.' Farm-hands' wagct. shall be raised to 92 for men, boys 15 years old $1.50, and women $1.25 per dav, and washerwoman $ 1 per dozen. What are you working for? Simply for nothing. You havo got to stop this, and if I can't stop you one way I will another. Yes, we are going to have our rights. I know you fellowa know how.to nse gunB. If you don't, it won't take you long to learn. Georgia is the meanest and lowest-clown &tate in the Union to the colored race. You are just as good as the white man, and, if anything, better. 1 know yon have more honesty. I am as good as ai y man that ever made a track on lop of this earth, and so are you. We have get to be more un.ted before we can get our rights. Tho money is iu this country and we must have it for our lalwr. Iu other words, bo boss some yourselves." Clark had proceeded on this line three-quarters of an hour when ho was interrupted by th arrival of the Sheriff armed with a won ant for his ai-restand a Winchester ritle. When Clark saw the Sheriff, ho jvanped from the platform and began . rapid retreat. The Sheriff failing to halt him by command.

Republican voters of the country are ! opened fire on tho fu itivo, missing him, impressed with tho belief that thoro i-i ' but shooting one of tho audience in the inoro iu Republicanism than public . pit of tho stomach. Clark is still at place, and that Republican principles i large, although ery offort is. being

are not aynoivyaious with peat-1 made to secure his arrest.

Coughs and colds are prevalent now", especially among children, too often from the ignorance or carelessness of their elder guardians. Many mothers appear to accept with resignation the repeated and violent colds from which their children suffer as providential and unavoidable. A cold is by no means always due to exposure. Indigestion, constipation, a lack of scrupulous cleanliness, the unwise habit of sleeping iu too much of the clothing worn during the day, unaired bed chambers oil, or any of these. things may have far more to do with your child's tendency to cold than tho keenest breath of the bracing winter air. And in great measure these things are under your control. Mothers should understand that it is a fact, whether they can see how it is or not, that numerous colds and Bore throats are directly 'traceable to indigestion and dietetic errors. Quantities of greasy food, fried meats, pastry, and the like, ill-

ventilated rooms, and continued consti ation, havo to answer for many coses of croup and putrid sore throats. All theee things weaken the system

and render it far less able to resist

changes of temperature. Give every

bedroom a tuorougn airing every aay, more esneeiallv if several children are

obligod to sleep together, or with their

parents. This is to be avoided U pos

sible; if not, always lower a window slightly from the top or if this cannot be done, raise it from below. There

is frenuentlv bad air enough generated

and breathed in the sleeping apartment of a family with small oliildron, to supply them all not only colds, but with a number of so-called "malarious" dis

eases, to last a year, - perhaps longer. Neglect of bathing is another prolifio source of colds. A child from 3 to 10 years old should certainly receive an entire bath twice a week in winter. A warm bath at night, taking special care to avoid any chill after, wdl frequently break up any sudden cold. Keep children from playing in chilly, unused rooms in autumn and winter weather. Let them play out of doors an much as possible, taking care to have their feet warm and dry. A tlannei suit and rubber overshoes will often save muoh cough medicine and doctor's bills. Keep them warmly clad, but do not be content with thick coats and worsted hoods, while short skirts barely eover their knees, leaving the limbs chilled.Mrs. Lucy Randolph, in American Agrit ulturisi.
