FAREWELL
"I go to-morrow," I said, as we sat down
on a flat mono beside the ioad. "Yes, so I nnderstand." " And is that all you hare to say, Belli
"I wish yon a pleasant journey and a safe
return." she said, heading over her flowers
to arrange them. When do yon think you
shall be back, William?''
This was sot what I wanted. Cousin Bell was too quiet and calm- I wanted her
to feed my craving vanity by some look or wood, ex tear of love. that I could carry
away with me to feast on and she would
- not. I determined to touch ner some wayi
even at the expense of the truth.
cRvfImum never. Bell! If I succeed in
- business,-! shall most probably settle there
marry there, and live and die there. She did not answer.
"Would yon care for that, my pretty
cousin?"
"Hum! I don't know. I wish I could
find another violet to match this. Look,
what a beauty!"
"Yon would care you do care though you sit there talking about your flowers!" I
aid hastily, leli me, don I you iwve me
a little bit, dear Bell?"
I drew her nearer, and a softened, yield
ing look came over her face. "And if I did, William?'
"It wonld make me happier in one way,
Bell; for I should feel that, my journey was only taken for your good, and that in time
yon would thank me for making it.
"What do vou mean, William? Have
SOU wst your senses? What have I done,
or said, or looked, to make yon think
what what yon have just said?" "I was saying it all for your good,
blundered out, sulkily. "And going away
for your good, too. "Because you thought X loved yon too much was that it?" "Yes!" "And so you were kindly going to take yourself out of siht till I had forgotten you?" I was silent. "Oh. grant me patience!" she exclaimed; and then, as if I had stung her to the very fcumrt, she buried her face in her hands. At last she looked up. "I do not think you are to blame for this . I suppose all men are so," she said, so gently that she took me by surprise. "But I think we had better part now. I hope, when we meet again, you will know women better than yon do now." "Will you give me a flower, Bell?" I asked, feeling with a strange perversity, lust at that moment, that I would have
died to win hex. She smiled and pushed
them toward me with her foot. Help yourself, William."
I took nD a daisy and a violet, and put it
in my bosom.
I wrote to my cousin several times after
I had established myself in my new home in Ireland, bat as she contented' herself by
sending messages in answer, in my sister Maggie's letters, I took the hint at last, and followed her example. But her silence and her anger did for her what her
affection had never done; and if
ever a dream of a happy home
came into mv mind as I sat alone, it
was sure to be the face and form of Bell that beautified it. She still remained un
married. Three years passed away, and during the Bummer of the fourth 1 went for a visit to my country home thinking fondly to myself that I would .bring my cousin with me when I returned, and keep
Iter them with me forever.
It so happened -that Bell had just re
turned from her spring trip to town when I arrived, and my favorite sister Maggie was only to flrlad of an excuse to call upon her, and see the recent fashions she had
brought.
"I am obliged to have an excuse nowa
days," she said, with a merry laugh, "for Bell is very proud, and seems to forget that we used to play together day after day at
school. I often think I should like to re
mind her of it, but she has grown such fine lady, I hardly dare."
Bell nrond, end a floe lady! I could
hardly imagine that. It was in the orchard that we met.
"Well, cousin," she said, smilingly,
"when you have looked at me long enough.
perhaps you will talk to me. A penny for
your thoughts!"
"They were not very gallant ones, I am afraid, for I was thinking that though yen
have grows very beautiful, Bell, you have.
also, grown very heartless. She laughed carelessly. "And a perfect woman of the world." "Thank you, air!" she answered, with
graceful bend of the head. "You are quite
as eoutplimirntary as you used to be, I see,
But never mind what I am, have been, or maybe. Teil me what you have been doing
all these Tears?"
"Thinking of you, Bell," I said bluntly
but truly.
She changed color a little, but soon re
covered herself.
"It strikes me that yon might have em
nloved yourself better. I think the air is
growing chilly shall we join our friends
and go back to the bouse r
I placed myself in her way as she turned.
"Dcn't go just yet, BeB. You are not cold- though jon affect a shiver; and you mat. what I have come ail this way to
gay. Viii yon?"
She shrugged her Bhonlders, and leaned
gainst a tree, and looked out towards uie
sunset west.
"Do you remember our evenings long
ago?" I asked, as our eyes turned towards the sinking sun. "Those were pleasant
days."
Yes." And now, after so long an absence, I am
standing here with you again. Why did you not write to me, Bell?"
She sent a shower of blossoms to ma
ground, and said, "Dont know been busy."
"You would not write out nave you
ever thought of me?"
"Sometimes when I have had nothing
better to do."
"Ah. Bell, be serious, and listen to me,
I exclaimed; fcI want to tell you how stupid I was three years ago "
"There is no need," she said, with a sar
castic smile. "I hope you are wiser now."
"And do you quite forgive me for wound
ing4 you, as I must have done?"
"Oh, dearyes!" '.v j "I oufihtrtb'have asked forgiveness long
ago. I was but a boy then, and little knew
what I was throwing away.
"And vou think von know now?" she
said, looking mo straight in the eyes with an. indescribable glance.
My heart beat fast; the blood flew to my
temples. Did she love me, alter aur i caught her hand in mine, and murmured,
"Oh, Bell, my darling, none can snow neuter!"
"Well, what do you think it was?" "The noblest, purest, and fondest heart
that ever beat in woman s Dreasv x answered, eagerly. "The truest andtenderest love "
I stopped, amazed, for the bKe eyes
grew dim with tears, and a deep flush covered her neck, and cheek, and bosom.
Stoo. then!" she said, hurriedly. "You
have said enough, already, to humble me
to ihe very dust. It might have been all
that when you first knew me, but it is not now; and because you have touched one of the old chords, I spare you. You, at least, shall never have it to say that Bell Gordon has trifled with your happiness. I meant
that.you should, but you have brought back my better nature. Now go, and leave me,
William; and, believe me, It will ne oetier
for vou to meet me no more.
"What do yon mean, Bell?" She laughed bitterly. "Go ask anyone if I am all you said
anyone who knows me well, and see what they will say. They call me a flirt, and a
coquette, as well as a heartless creature, and a woman of the world. And it is all true. If anyone is idiotic enough to give me his heart, I only know how to break it But you are the friend of my early years," she said, laying her hand on my shoulder, "and, for the sake of of no matter what, I give you fair warning," "1 teU you that I love you," I said. "I ask you to be my wife." "It is too late," Bhe replied, drily; "we
are not children, to play at this game any longer- Go! and forget me; it is your better war. I am to be married soon. There is
the pledge!" She flashed a diamond ring in my eyes,
which she wore upon the third finger of her
left hand.
She is still the wife of the wealthy man she married, and a queen of fashion. She
has one son, who bears my name, and my eldest daughter Is called Bell. I never hear
from her I shall never see her in this
world again; but T often sit and think about
her, as I have done to-day. Others have loved me more fondly, and male me hap
pier; yet the golden glory of my "first love" lingers about her head, and I cannot, and I
would not if I could, forget her. There may be many more beantifnl, and better far; but to-my life's end there will be none so fair for me. Farewell, sweet dream of my youth! Farewell!
THE NEWS. Intelligence by Wire from All the World. TOREK'S. Jem Smith, tho British pugilist, vho ia anxious to arrange a tight with Sullivan, was at a recent exhibition in London, presented by aristocratic admirers with a championship bolt valued at $1,800. Work lias commenced in Paris on a city railroad, partly underground and partly elevated, which will givo employment fdv months to a largo number of workmen now idle Boom will be made in the Egjplian army for a number of Turkish offleora by tte discharge of British veterans.

PERSONAL
ARTIFICIAL WOMEN IN NEW XOBK.
Some women are' not satisfied with
short hair alone. They must needs have what little is left bleached. Consequently yellow or carroty heads are
thick in the street as peas in apod.
The women who have the blackest hair insist on TnnMnp; it the lightest. It is a
very common sight to see a woman with a dark complexion, piercing black eyes and inky eyebrows crowned with a
shock of flaxen hair. No museum ever contained such cariosities as emerge
from houses in aristocratic parts of Fifth Avenue. Then, adding to other
savagery, the enameling of the faces is increasing. Countenances one looks into is the shopping districts appear
more like colored crockery than human physiognomies. Paint and putty and artificiality are so plain among the "fair"
sex that a little reality would be quite
refreshing. But New York is becoming
such a stranger to naturalness that the time bids fair to come when a real wo-
will be a curiosity that, as they
say in the country, "people will go miles to see." One can almost picture huge lithographs among Barnum's other
miles of van-colored delineations of wonders, advertising "one of the last remaining members of the almost ei tinct race of unshorn and unpainted women of the new world." Surely all the
ladies would go to see the curiosity, and garrulous old men wonld have wonderful stories to tell of similar women who
flourished in their times, adding: "I could prove it, too, if old Bill Jones
were alive." Old BillJones was counted the biggest liar in seven counties. Brooklyn Union.
A POINT IN XII CURB. "I met two nice gentlemen on the car
yesterday," said Kosciusko Murphy to
Miss Esmeralda Loiigcoiim.
"What did they say?" "They didn't say anything. There
was one on ,my ngnt, ana one on my left. When I got up to get off the car
they bowed."
"They bowed, did they? Well, they
are rascals."
"How do you know? you didst them." "I know that all right and left bowers are knaves." Te-vas Sifting a. Stacttbb, as conajKited with heredity,
has recently been investigated by Francis Dalton; and among hist first results
is the inference that the height of chil
dren of both sexes, but especially that of the daughters, takes after that of the
father.

(8fc fjOuiaiMd.) telegram General Superintendent Kerrigan of the
Missouri Pacific Railway, this morning issued an order expelling from the Missouri Pacific yards all Knights of Labor. This order includes the delegation df linen appointed by the Knightn to guard tlia com
pany's property. The order is at; follows:
You are hereby notified that yonr action
in withdrawing from thi service? of the
Missouri l'acino iiailrosut company was a voluntary abandonment of the services of the company, nnd that you are no long -r iu its employment, aud that your names have been stricken from its rolls. All s ich who
are now about the comp my s premises at; hereby notified that they must im mediately
leave the Snfflc. to the end that tins com
pany mav resume the tr.ifiic of the country. "William Kebdioan."
Simultaneously with the appearance ot
the above order in the Missouri Pneiae
yards iu this city twenty Finkerton detectives anil nbout the same number in the employ of the railrrnd company marched iuto the yard - u nbr the command of Thomut
Furlong, and ordered tue nnignts wuo have been guarding the property to leave atone. The order was obeyed and the freight tinned over to the defectives. At Caroudelet, where the bulk of the lion Mountain freight is abandoned, the yavds are still in possession of the Knigh's of Labor. The company is engaging all the men it can to net as watchmen, but the applications are few, and the number now iu its employ in not large enough to watch all the freight. The most important rumor of the tiny was tfcat the Missouri Pacific would attempt to resume
business to-morrow. Tha officials of the road were questioned ebont it, but refuse to sav where thev are tioiue to get men. To
night it is stated that an order will b issued calling on the raeu to return to work, bnt
they cannot return as Knights of Labor. "There are two sides to the question," said a nrorainent commission merchant.
"The one-man nower in the railroad must
be met bv organization on the part of em
ployes, bnt it is unfortunate that just at the opening of the spring trade this terrible blow should come on the city aud country.''
There is but one opinion on the subject
of interference with business, and that is,
that in one wv or another the embargo on trade should lie lifted. The question of whether the railroad could not lie held responsible and be made to cany freight,
even if this did involve navina a liltle high
er wages than usual, reeeivea oonaiueruuie
.1. .1 T . Al. riAn.
linn. Ill lUUllllltll IU IUV uu" nwy-
of the movement of commodities,
one of the enter eienienis oiienuiug m
check nnd depress trade is fear, ihe deal
ers are afraid to move one way or another
and prefer to awni- d-velopnients. liaiie is. therefore, lira -liealiv at a standstill, nnd
scarcely anything was done tc-day. The
sneculators. of course, have free swing, but
even they are very cautions in Iheir, operations. The commission men can do little
or nothinGr but wait until shipments can be
mnde. This state of affairs i? working up i
ihe feelings of the merchants to n high
pitch.
The situation m ,ast or. ijuiiis is aimiu-
ing in the extreme. Not a pound of freight from nn of the Eastern trunk Hues can be brought across the river by rail, and the re
sult is that the tra'-'s on tne cast owe are
all blockaded with delayed freight. 1 he bridgo is crowded with teams hauling freight to the city. The number of laden coal cars now ui the yards of tho various roads across the river is enormous, and as
there is no way of getting the coal across the river except by hauling it in wagons or
shinninc- it on the femes, the blockade is
likely to cause a cessation of work at the va-
nous mines tnrougnoui me uiuu uu w throw 2,0(10 miners out of employment.
This afternoon nn attempt was made to start
the Kirkwood passenger train on the Missouri Pacific, which was abandoned Sun
day. When the signal was given to sian; the fireman on tho engine stepped off aud
refused to fire. No other man could be se-
cured.ond Supcnnlendent Kerrigan jumped on the engine himself and fired her while the run was made to Kirkwood, twelve miles ont.
The demrture of tho passenger trams on
the Missouri Pacific to-night was delayed
about two houra in consequence of some
body having withdrawn the hre In tne locomotives. A force of some four hundred men has boon employed by the company to operate their yards, nnd more will be enotum as rnoidlv as the proper men can
be obtained. 'The opinion is that if the railroad company attempts to ran height trains to-morrow the effort will be resisted even to the point of
Violence. There is a feeling ol great uncertainty as to what either side will do, and much apprehension is felt regarding the result. A report that the railroad company hid applied or would apply to the United States Court here for the appointment of a receiver, so that the road may be plneod in charge of a court aud be under the protection of tho Government, was denied. None of the roads centering here have been at all interfered with, except the Missouri Pacific. n.. 1 " . . I -.0 nn ami.
1 nere are no iniucauouo w. uwuiw other road. Steps have been taken to have St. Louis merchants ship goods by tho river to New
Orleans, and thence no lexas oy ine lema and Pacific Bond, which it is thought can
be kept open.
FATAL TO BOTH PIUKCIPALS.
A Terrible Duel Between Prominent Hen
In H New Orlrann Court-Room. (Special from Now Orleaua.1 At 1:30 o'clock this afternoon a difficulty
took place in the office of the Clerk of tJw
United States District Court between Captain J. E. Bran, steamboalmun, and M. E. Grace, admiralty attorney, in which seven shots were fired, and both men were mortally wounded. Bran accosted Graoe about tha liliplino of a steamboat bv a deck hand,
and told him if he were a gentleman he wonld withdraw the suit. Grace said he
tiioiinbt. there was something! in the ease.
and ns far ns gentility wont be was as good a man as Bmu. They came to blows and each man drew a revolver nnd began hri'iK
over the shoulders of Sam Pollock, court
stenographer. Grace used a torty-nve catr. nnd Brau a thirtv-eicht caliber pistol.
After seven shots wero exchanged the men staggered apart, nnd Grace made his way to the head of the marble stairway of the Custom House, where he fell dead. He
had been hit three times, one boll entering thn rioht nimile andnansingout at the back;
one in the left breast, above the nipple, and
still another in the rioht arm, lust belowtne
shoulder. Captain Brau fell fatally wounded
and wns conveyed ra n upiuu, nuau iw now lies. Ho had received three bullets, one in tho left Bide, under the armpit, pieroino the bine: another at the right side,
nenetrstinif the abdominal cavity, and
a third in the center of the chin, break
ing tho lower jaw. Grace was thirty years old and was a favorite in his profession. He
was unmarried. Iu his pocket was found a
mu-knere eontauiuiu four extra cartridges.
The pistol pocket of his pants was sewed in such a manner as to let the barrel of the pistol down and the cylinder and handle protrude. By this arrangement it was easy to draw the revolver very quickly. Captain Brau has been a alcumbo itnnui on the
lower Mississippi fov a number of years.
hut at nrcsent is business manager of the
French Oiiera troupe. A year ago he fought a duel with Mr. Pooko, n brother of the
Supremo Court Justice, with small swords,
in which Poche weia slightly wuui4d. Brau
