be thought with an agony of remorse and despair of the, innocent child whose stainless soul was as far removed from his as the inviolate skies from the
black abyss into which he had fallen !
He had been left alone so young if be had only had a strong, yet loving
guide in his early youth, he felt that
life would have been so different. But
his father had given up without a straggle to the blow which struck him
in the death of his young wife.
"Never were there men like the Danesiords far loving and hating, was proverb in the country; and surely the poor lad was no exception to the
rale. He had stood half-dazed beside
the open van It and had seen his father given up to the eternal silence with a passion of fears and a longing to be at net beside the only two who loved him alas, for ban in the after yean that
be had longed in vain.
Still life swept by most happily; for.
given rank and wealth, all the oi
good things of earth lay never far be
hind. From school to college, from
college into society, from boyhood to
manhood quick work, a brief dream
of happiness, and then the awaken ing.
There was one thing only lacking;
where lives the man who has not known atone time the need of life's snpremest good? Even Eden must
have been more beautiful in
Adam's eyes after they had looked upon the face of Eve. So in its ap-
pointed time Guy Daneaford's fate
came to him and he lived.
She was a fair woman the Danes-
fords loved beauty and, as he learned when it was too late, it was the velvet-
softness of dark eyes, the sunny warmth
of golden hair, that had held him cap
tive. 80, for a little while, he lived in I
a loora paradise ana wen, as ne sua afterwards, trod the lowest depths of a
despair such as he looked upon who, in
life, passed through helL
There came, of course, the usual chorus from friends, who sympathized from a safe standpoint, and from eni-
mies, who exulted in his despair. He bad been so sure of her truth there
lay the sting; if he had ever doubted her, he could have borne it better; but lie had placed her by the side of his
saintliest memory, and the awakening
was worse than the agony of death.
He went rnad of thia there could be no donW, for his actions were marked
by an unbridled extravagance no one had ever before observed in him. He
left England, and passed in rapid sue
cession from one gay continental capital to the other, leaving behind him always a reputation as black as his
soul had be noma Then anew humor
seized him he had run away like a whipped school-boy; he would go home and so prove to the world that his brief
madness was over. So he returned to
England and settled down in bis proper place as Lord of the manor of Danesford, and dispenser of the Dsneaford
bounties.
Until one day it was only a ride to hounds, but she was there with her
husband, cold, proud, insolently lovely some said that her quondam lover
was not the only sufferer, that she had
reckoned without her host, ignorant of the Danesford pride, and only, through a fair woman's confidence in herself,
detrirous of testing her power.
What happened no one clearly under'
stood, but the gossips said afterwards that she called him by his name with a
few smiling words as though they had been nothing more than
the best of good comrades.
Though no one knew the reason, all the world knew the after scene. The old Manor House was closed, the town-
house ffiven up to the care of the
watchman, and the country in which
he had pas ued the years of his short
life knew him no more; although later,
rough, yet pitiful hands, bore him over
the seas back to the old home to lay him beside his mother.
Had he been laid in the family vault
then, with all the dead and gone Danesfords who had led simple, homely, stay-at-home lives, he could not have dropped more completely out of the old sphere.
For a little while his former asso
ciates mentioned his name and 'won
dered vaguely what had become of that
"mad fellow, Danesford;" but the man
never lived whose place was not filled by another in less than the proverbial nine days. Once only a young man on
his return from the far mysterious West caused a sensation by asserting that he had seen and spoken with Danesford at a wayside station in the
great Texan staked plain.
Young Hastings was right As the
train bad swept thought the prame
that bright October morning, Guy
Danesford had stood with several other ranchmen on the platform of the station, attracted thither by a momentary curiosity to hear something of the outer world.
Charlie Hastings stood in the rear
of the train smoking, and staring
languidly at the monotonous prospect,
when, as the train came to a standstill, his astonished eyes found themselves resting on Lord Daneaford's handsome face.
"Guy Danesford, by all that s won
derful!" he had cried, and had clasped hands in a perfect paroxysm of surprise.
Then for a few minutes Guy wai at
home again with his bright youth and his brighter dreams; eager, passionate memories rushing back in an unconquerable flood, his soul crying out
within him, O for my lost youth! O for my lost hope!" But it had
passed as quickly as it had come. "No,
no, old fellow; I love .England &,IKM)
miles away but I can't change Shis
freedom for all the old useless luxury of
the old earless days," and with another
hand-clasp the two had parted, Guy
Danesford losing then forever his last
hold on the old life
But as the train swept on eastward,
Guy mounted his horse and rode for
hours over the vast prairie, his face set toward his temporary home, his soul raging within him in the utter madness
of impotent strife.
That night the men wondered at his
unusual flow of spirits, at the reckless
wit and vim oi his speech, at the
strange breaking down of the barrier
his reticence had hitherto so effectually
raised. But not a soul knew of the tragedy of his life. They were rough
men, quick to answer word with blow,
yet there was not one of them who
would not have laid down his life for the austere Englishman who was with
them, yet not of them.
When he could forget the wreck of
his life; when he could sweep from his
memory the image of that innocent
child kneeling with clasped hands before his mother's portrait, he was almost happy almost. But often the thunder of his horse's hoofs on the prairie
swept night after night through the stony silence, as the same old impotent strife seat him farther and farther
down the black abysm of despair.
And then one day the man who was
nearest to him of them all the only one
to whom he had ever spoken of his real life going in search of him, found him
still and white on his bed, a murmur
of restless, meaningless words on his
lips.
They nursed him well, those rough
whom he employed to tend
his cattle; but they knew from the first that their care might alleviate but could avail nothing. In his delirumhe spoke of scenes and places unknown to
the silent watchers; places and scenes
fraught with unutterably mournful
memories. But one word, breathod in
yearning accents, sounded through all
the babble of empty phrases the word
"mother."
She had called him "Dieudonno" in
those few minutes which God had
granted her to press her lips to his and
sanctify him with her last caress it is well if Heaven is so far removed from
earth that nothing of earthly misery
can enter.
At last, the unquiet spirit passed
away, and Guy Danesford was himself again. His faithful attendant bent over
him in alarm, for he knew that he was
in the presence of death.
Then Guy gave his friend directions,
signing with his feeble hand the sim
ply-worded will which left legacies to the men who had faithfully served him
and the one direction above all others
that they should take him home and lay
him beside his mother.
It was night, and already the large
white stars were shining in the deep
and cloudless blue of the Texan skies. The silence was very deep, as though
the shadow of death hushed all voices
and stilled all life. The winc'.ova of
the room were open and a faint breeze
swept through and lifted the damp
curls on the dying man's brow.
He stirred uneasily and stretched out his hand as though to meet some answering touch; then his foiling strength asserted itself and the last words he would utter fell with a w eight of hopeless yearing upon the oppress
ive stillness.
"She called me Diendonne, so they
told me intercede for me, mother,
with Him in whose presence you have dwelt since you left me." Old Carson
drew nearer and laid his rough hand
on the white fingers with infinite gen
tleness, a choaking sensation in bis throat as he saw how dull the eyes of
late so unnaturally bright were grow
ing. He turned his agonizing eyes to
ward the men around him
"Can no one pray.' 1 can't re
member how but hnsn! I said once at her grave, 'Our Father which art in Heaven" then something settled heavily oh his face, his voice uttered faintly the last words of his soul "Mother in Heaven, pray for me
I Our Father in Heaven" one of
the men pressed forward and laid
against the dying lips a emoifix and so with the emblem of the great snoriflce of the Saviour of men sealing his lips, Guy Daneaford's soul passed out upon the stillness of the right. And
there was a great silenco it. the room.
AD TEXTURE AT BLARXEY CASTLE.
Some years ago I was stationed with
mv regiment at Uaumcouig, uounty
Cork, and a party of us determined to
pay a visit to the famous Blarney Castle.
The party consisted ol three ser
geants, the orderly room clerk, Charlie
Hutchinson, and myself.
We had often seen the outside of the
astle, hut none had penetrated the in
terior, so that when we arrived we hardly knew what part to go to first.
But Hutchinson had come with a de
termination to kiss the "Blarney
Stone." Whether he had any faith in its
supposed virtues I cannot nay, but he was so determined that he would kiss
it that we gave in to him, and sought out the iruides.
At the time of which I write there
were two men in charge of the castle
big, raw-boned Irishmen who gained
a fair, or foul, living by allowing the castle, and, if possible, frightening
cash out of the visitors.
After some searoh we found these
two worthies asleep in the grounds, and, having roused them, expressed our desire to see the stone.
They spoke a few words in Irish to
each other, and then told us to follow them.
Now, the famous stone ii rather dif
ficult to get at, as it is fixed in the castle wall some distance below a window, and, inorder to Mss it, it is ne
cessary that you should be lowered from the window, and, as no rope was avail
able at the time, the guides offered to
hold Charlie by the legs and let him down head first to the ston.
He did not seem to retina the idea,
and neither did I, but, an the others began to laugh at him, he determined to go through the performance.
The guides held him by the ankles,
and let him down gently enough.
Charlie kissed the stone, or said he
did, and then shouted for Shem to pull him up.
The men grinned. "Full ye up, sorr," said one of them;
"share ye haven't paid us far letting ye
down yet. What are ye going to give us!"
Now, hanging by your heels is not
a very pleasant position for conversation, and Charlie found that the blood was running unpleasantly to his head ;
so, in order to get out of his predica
ment, he offered them one Etulling each.
"Thank yer, sorr," said the other fel
low; "an' how much for pulling ye up ?"
Charlie began to get uncomfortable.
and, in order to get pulled up, gasped:
"Make haste, for God's sake. Five
shillings, ten. Full me up quick!"
"Shore, man aloive! don't be in such
a devil of a hurry. Isn't yer life worth
more than that?"
And both the brutes laughed at the
joke.
Just then I caught a ghmpee of
Charlie's face. It was iiwelled, and turning purple with suffocation; so,
hurriedly whispering a few words to
the three sergeants, I drew my sword,
turned on the guides, and threatened to use it if they did not instantly draw
him up.
They turned their faces towards me,
and, grinning, said that at the first move I made they would . loose their
hold.
I bad expected as much, so, while
they were talking to nw, two of the sergeants sprang forward and seized
Charlie's feet, whilst the other sergeant and I threw ourselves on the guides.
In five minutes it was over, for
Charlie was drawn up unconscious, and,
the two sergeants coming to our assistance, we gave the rascals such a touch
of military discipline that I doubt if they will ever forget it.
Poor Charlie suffered in his head for
several days after, and never cared to
be joked about kissing the Blarney
stone. Rare Bits.

HAWTHORNE'S MOJfESTT. I once saw Hawthorne under circumstances which had a touch of the ludi
crous, it was at a commencement dinner given under a tent on the "campus"
of Bowdoin College, of -which institution, it will be remembeied, he was a graduate in 1825, longfellow being his classmate. Hawthorne had secured the high place which he ever after held in the republic of lettern, and it was deemed a great thing that his presence had been secured to grace the festive occasion. When the time came for the speeches, everybody rejoiced at the prospect of hearing Hitwthorna. Bowdoin was justly proud of her gifted son, and to see him, and especially to listen to him, was an event not soon to be forgotten. In fitting terms the President, Leonard Woods, Jr., if my memory serves me right, announced the next' speaker, our distinguished son and most welcome guest, and, as he proceeded in his laudatory terms, naturally all eyes were turned away for the moment from the guest tc the speaking host. Finishing his remarks, ;he President called for a speech from Nathaniel Hawthorne. Everybody looked to the spot where just now "the distinguished son and welcome guest" had been sitting. But he was not 1 here. While the President had been lavishly pouring out his praises and extolling the wonderful gifts of this wonderful progeny of alma matter, he had quietly lifted the canvas of the tnt, crept out, and "gone to parts unknown." My recollection is that there was a good laugh ovor the matter, a ad everybody said it was just like Hawthorne, who dreaded making an after-dinner speech more than be did the critics. His constitutional shyness never forsook him, long as he lived. Prwi&mce Journal.

just such violence, and hau l reds of instances
are shown in the public records where free discussion was accompanied by murder or wholesale violence. Hut I do believe that there 1h now in the South a feeling that the best interests of their people Is that every legal voter should ire allowed to vote and have ids vote count "d. 1 am encouaged in this lwliet by many leading citizens of the South, and by the gallant contest now being made by Gen.

They do not lu any degree object to a Confederate holding au office of honor, trust, or prailt, but only ask that he shall be willing to observe and resiieci the rights of others. The Republican policy of protection .o Industry, free schools, aud internal development and improvement, accompanied with an honest
vote, ana an iionesr count, wouiu win lavor with the Southern people, if only it could be presented in oin discussion free from the hate and sectional feeling growing ont (ft the civil war. That hits been the feeling in the North, and but for the interest and txilioy of the Democratic party iu maintaining a solid South, it would prevail in Virginia, North Carolina, and ! Tcnness.e, while an honest election at any time, in anv State south of these, except Texas, would give a Republican majority. Gov. Hoadly says that if the solid South will still deny to the olored people the right to vote, representation cannot be reduced under the fourteenth amendment, because 1 cannot point out the State law that in terlPs excludes them from voting. It is tor each hous" to judge of the election of its members. If the Constitution of tlie r ulted States, which confers the right to renreseiitation.is in 1'act disregarded by
a State, or within a State, each house will judgo for itself wh ther members and Senators are elected according to the Constitution, and the case may arise when this will be Its bounden duty.
Gov. noadlv says that the Republican party
depends in Tennessee on fraudulent voting. The only evidence of this groundless statement is that the Republicans of Tennessee opposed the passage of a registry lav m that State to be admiin-tered by the Democratic party. I do, not know the grounds of this opposition, but I ran easily conceive that tliey do not care to leave the "Democratic party the chance to practice frauds under a registry law as ell us under their favorite way of a change oi the returns. A fair registry law. honestly administered, is a restraint upon fraud, but it is no restraint upon a change of ballots or a fraudulent return. Does not Gov. I'.oadly Know that all the historic frauds at elections from the time of the I'lanuemine frauds at the election of I8"l to this time arc the exclusive work of the Democratic party?
BLOODY-SHIRT POLITICS.
Virginia Democratic Uttevanetis Contrasted
with Ike Remarks of Sherman. rWashlngton special. It must require a good deal of hardihood on the part of Democrats in the
North, or even those in the Mouth, to remurk on tho course Senator Sher
man is pursuing in his canvass in Ohio, so far as it relates to calling attention to the atrocities in the Bourbon dis
tricts, in the manner of waving the
"bloody shirt. The JJourhons in V irginia are now, and have been for several weeks, going to extremes. It is well known in Washington that at the Bourbon meetings in Virginia the banners are inscribed with language intended to arouse the old Confederate hatred of tho negro and the North. The bent of the .Bourbon speeches is to lire the whites against the blacks. This mode of campaigning, however, has long been conducted by these people. It was left to a few days ago to cap the climax hi this direction. Gen. liobert E. Lee's son, in his enthusiasm, brought forth his father's wav saddle, bridle, and accoutorments, and slinging them across the back of his
cousin's horse, bade him proceed on hia
journey, "which must arouse the t onfederate patriotism of every trim Virginian." It is related that Gen. Fitzhugh Lee that day rode twenty miles across the country, and that he was received with "great ieeling."
It comes straight here, too, that tne small-fry Bourbon stump-speakers are drawing pictures, at white heat, of Gon. ltobert E. Lee and his followers, and painting the gory battle-fields of Virginia blood-red. If this does not discount anything in the line of "bloody shirt" that has ever been perpetrated in tho North, there is nothing in truth. It is very probable that the cry about sectional feeling alleged to have been engendered in Ohio is made for tho purpose of diverting attention from the

(Montreal speoud.l Montreal was the scene of a violent riot
this evening as Hie result of the movement for compulsory vaticination. The FienchCanadians lave shown strong opposition to compulsory vaccination since tho shirt, and trouble hail In en feared. Tho English
were tletermiued, however, that no mote delay vroull be alloweel, and decided at once? to catry 'Compulsory measures Into force. A b:nn.)h office was started in the Kast End, nnd orders were given to-day to begin the thor. ngh va olnatiou of all persons in i he French- Can dian quarter. At an oar'y hour this morning tho office was ope-ned. A crowd at o:ice began to assemble, and the bni.ding was soon surrounded. Several Fren b-Caundian citizens addressed tho gat b ring, which was becoming more and more riotous, ond advised pacific measures. A scpuvd of police was railed out, and toward afternoon the mob dispersed, threatening, however, to return in the even nj;. They kep their wore!. At seven o' sle ek to-night the builtling was surronneleil by a noisy, threatening crewel eif French-Canadians, who began operations by storm ng the Health Office, smashing all" the windows, and creating a general havoc. The mob next went to the residence of Dr. Iinbergs, of the Medical Heilth Office, stoned it.au d shouted defiance. On marched the mob, gatbning in numbers as it went, its obieeliv. peiut being the City Hill.
The authorities had by this time got wind of the mob's intentions, aud the fire-bells sounded a genoral rlarm, calling the whole police force from the various stations to the Central Station at the City Hall. The mob armed, however, before the police had mustered, and took possession of the streets are.nael the hall. Showers of stones were rained upon the building, and many windows were shattered. The police were still in the stations, and, as usual, a delay occurred hefcre they were ordered out When they first reached the street they had only thoir f ma.l wooden batons, which were utterly us.less on th mob, which contained its work of destruction, moving completely around the building. An ordet was given to arm the force with muskets, but the men. strange to say, were kept standing iu the station while the mob cou tinned its work outsiele. Several of the policciiier and tho Mayor's brother armed themselves with revolvers and blazed away from tho door of the station, silencing the mob on that Ride. On the other side, however, tlie work was kept up, and the health officer got a severe handling. A large number of people were here undergoing vaccination, and had to fly from the mob. In tho midst of the din a cry was raised, ' To the newspaper office!" mid in a few minutes the crowd, now numbering several thousand, had formed into li a' unci were on tlie way. The mob marched down the principal streets, singing ard fihout;ng, and made for the office of lie Morutny Heraltl, a large fivestory bnileling on Victoria Square.

The wi dows were soon smafhed, aud the rioters took full vengeance npcu the paper, which has been the most active and plain-spoken about the French - Canad ians. For over half an hour the mob had it all their own way. tho police remain'ug iuactive in the station while the work of destruction was going on. White engaged at the n?wspape. office the rioters gave expression to various threats, and said they would show she Ei.glish whether it was they o.- the French who would rule the city.

ing passed the critical stage, and whatever of danger menaced the cereal from frosts being.now ended, owing to the maturity ot the grain, the Farmers' Review of this city has tailed in reports from its 1,400 cone-' spondents, giving the area and probable yield in every county in the ten leading
corn-producing States, ana nas compun from these a close estimate of the approximate yield of the crop of 18S5. These estimates have been based em a compari
son with the yield of 1884, taking tbe figures of the Agricultural Bureau at Washington for the yield of hut year. The reports of the correspondents include not only the approximate actual acreage, but also the percentage of condition as compared to last year, and th; percentage of increase or decrease in acreage. This was done to approximate is closely
as possible to the actnai output, tne correctness of whieh method was demonstrated very fully in the estimate of the wheat crap on June 1 by this bureau, and to which ihrures all the reeoimiced statis

The Government has been exchanging one denomination of currency for anevher for banks at an expense of 50 cents for $1,000, 35 cents per $1,000 each way being the express rate for the Government. Treasurer Jordan has advanced ihe charge to ChiiKgo to 75 cents per 1,000 for n rencv anel $1 per $1, 000 for golet Mr. Jordan explained to-day that his reason for doing this was that banks are hoarding small billsi anel he thinks it necessary to charge them a little more than they have beem
paying in order to discourage the practioa. Seventy-five cents is a trifle more than the express rate for $1,000 between Chicago and New York for private senders, and Mr. Jordan's theory is that it will be a shade cheaper for Chicago banks to get their mall bills from their New York correspondents than from the Treasury, and he does not think the Government ought to be obliged to print small bills when Ntnks have cords of them locked up. He will try to keep sub-treasuries supplied with ourrsnoy of all denominations for tha accommodation of banks.
