Annetts was very pretty; not at all course in any way, while her conyersation indicated that she was far from nix ignorant girt. For a second time, I think, I was in lore. Once or twice I ventured to ask Annette something of her parents and of her life, but she was verv reticent and I thought I

could wait to know. One thing I thought T ram Id not wait for. and that was. Annette

herself. So when she was able to walk about the house and yard, I asked her if she would not make my home her own, as my wife. She was profuse in her thanks for my hospitality, but conld not say "Tea." The utmost I conld get from her,

was the promise of a definite answer in a day or two. The second day after that I was ont all

day on a visit to a patient at a distant farm house. When I returned I found a note lying on the desk in my office, addressed to Dr. John Kedfield myself. I opened it and read: HIt Bras Doctor: Good-bv. I have

In its relations with foreign governments the Democratic administration has conspicuously failed to maintain the honor and dignity of the nation, and to protect the rights of citizens. It has disfranchised Hun

dreds of thousands of voters in the North byits failure to discharge an imperious moral obligation imposed by the constitution for the admission of Dakota into the Union, for the same reason that led it to extinguish Republican majorities in the Southern States by fraud and

violence. The last Legislature of Indiana was Demo

CITY IN RUINS.

The G-feater Fart of Charleston

Destroyed by an Earthquake.

..r-.-lble earthquake shock at Charleston, 8. C, ou the evening of Tuesday, the 31st ult., was follo-ired at brief intervals by several others of less tores. The first shock came from the southeast and struck the city at 9 : 65 p. m., Tuesday. During the twenty-four hours following, there were ten distinct shocks, but they were only tbo subsiding ot the earth-waves. The disaster was wrought by the first. Its force may be inferred from the fact that the whole aroa of country between the Atlantio coast and tho Milsissippi Hirer, as far to tho north as Milwaukee, felt its power to a greater or lesser degree. Charleston, however, was the special victim of this elemental destruction. The city is substantially in ruins. Two-thirds of its bousos are uninhabitable. What stores are left are closed, as their owners dare not go to them. Churches and other public buildings are in ruins, liaitroads and telegraph lines are torn up and destroyed. Between fifty and sixty liveB aro believed to havo been lost, end manv ueoilo were maimed bv f alline build-

in cb and bv jumping from tho windows of

houses. Fires broke out and added to the horrors of the scene. The loss of property is rmiohlv estimated at 810.000.003. Two-thirds of

the houses of tho doomed city are rendered un

inhabitable, Demg wrecsea ettner toiany or partially. The approach of the quake, says a Charleston dispatch, was heralded by the usual rumbling sound, resembling distant thunder.

Tueu, as it uraauauy approacneu, tue euivu quivered and heaved, and in a few seconds it had passed, the sound dying out in the distance. The city Is a complete wreck. St. Michael's Church and St. Philip's t hurch, two of the most historic churches is tho city, are In ruins, as also the Hibernian Hall, the police

itations. and many mer puoiio ouuuiugs. Tl roe or four fires started in as monv sections

with the Orst shock of the earthquake, and the city was soon illumined with flame, thus lead-

A NIGHT OF TERROll.

Grnpbic Inscription of the Awful Scenes

That Occurred lit Charleston. (From the Charleston News and Courier. Neceasarilv tha descrintlon that can be given

of the disaster which has befallen our city con

sists in the narration ot tne experiences anu ouservationa of individuals, and, the subject being the same and the experiences of all being nearly idike, tho story told by one careful observer may well stand for a hundred .pthors, wita slight variations. Probably tho best idea that can be had of the character of

the disturbance, tnereiore, may oo uuutmuu from a narration of the events and Bcones of We-lneiiday night as they were presented to a single person. While engaged in his usual duties in the second-story room of the News and Courier office at the timo of the first shock tho writer's attention was vaguely attracted by a scund which seemed to come f t- -i the offtco beltiw, and which was supposed for a moment to lie caused by the rapid rolling of a heavy body, as an iron Bate or a heavily laden truck, ovoi' the floor. Accompanying the sound there

was a percopuDie tremor ut we uuuuuig, not more markod, howovor, than would be caused by the passage of a street car or a dray along tho street, i'or perhaps two or three seconds the occurrence excited no surprise or comment. Then, by i wif t

degrees, tne souna aeepeneu w vvtmuu , tuu tremor became more decided j tha ear caught the rattle of window-sashes , gas-fixtures, and

conflagration which had broken out just beyond the square Immediately after tho first shock, and hud now wholly enveloped several build- j iiigs in il unes. til three other quarters of tbo town, at the same time, simitar largo fires were observed under full headway, and tho awful significance of the earthquake may be most fully appreciated, porlmps, w hen it is said that, with these tremomhms fir. s blazing up all at once around them and threatening thnir property with total destruction, the people whom you met on the Btroots or saw gathered together in groups In tho opeu places evidently did not give thf-m a thought. No one watched the ruddy flames or the pillars of cloud rising high into the still night air. Each was too intent ou listening witn strained senses for the dreailed recurrence of that horrible growl or proan of tho nowor under the seas and under the

land to five a thought to the new terror, though it had threatened his own homo an i many homes in tho dttomed city. The crowds poured iu from every direction to tin square just described, as

tuouim it nau uwen mac-t-a a coftrincu oircie, and life depeuded on passiDg within its grassy bounds, btroot-c'irs, carriages, and other vehicles wore ranged in lines op the streets surrounding the square, while the horses ttood as though dnlfitug the grotmil iu anxious inquiry. The colored people everywhere were loud and iucrei sing in their declamations of alarm, in the singing of hymns, aud in fervent appeals for Cod's mercy, in which appeals, God knows, manv a tiroud heart who heard

them arising in tho nit, and iu tho hour

ot His wondrous uiigut. tic vnuy sua uumoiy and sincerely joined. Danger briugs all of us

to the level of tho lowliest There were no

distinctions of place or powor, pride or casts, in the aisemblogea that were gathered together in Charleston on Tuesday night. It was a curi

ous spectat Id to look back upon. It is a good one to remember for white and black alike. There were iustaucos of unselfish devotion, of kind and loving regard between master and servant mistroa.-) und maid, in the presence of a common ill and ot threatened ruin that showed.

as nothing else could Bhow, how strong is the tic that binds our white people and our black people together; and this lesson of the dread visitor

w o mav hone. too. will never be forgotten. Ar

rivine at his homo, the writer found the same

scenes of distraction aud wreck which marked nearly every home in the city. AU the houses

in the t eighborhood had suffered seriously, and streats, yards, and gardens were filled with the fallen chimneys and fragments of walls, while the walb that were left standing were rent asunder in many cases from top to bottom, and were badly shattered in every instance. Women and children, roused from sleep or Interr oted in their oveninc pursuits by the

sound of the ruin being effected above and around them, rushed out into the streets and

buddlod together awaiting the end, whatever it

mignt tw. invalids wore urougnt out on mutreseos and deposited on the roadway. No thought was given to tho treasures left behind

in tno enort to save tne peculiar treasure oi uie itself, suddenly bocoine so precious in the eyes

of sll, the invalid woman und the robust

man alike. Until Ions ufter midnight tne

streets were filled with fugitives in search

or tneir nomcs. inrougn tne long noun

that followed few were tho eyes, evon of child

hood, that were closed in sleen. Charleston was

Shocks were tdit all over Georui-t. but no serious damage was

caused. Throughout North Carolina the shocks wero iuite severe. At AshevlUe they produeed tho utmost consternation. The disturbance was aceoniponiod by a rumbling sound resembling distant thunder, buildings quaked, walls vibrat.1,1 anil tArmr.nfcHnknn men. women, and chil
