Thrasher took in tho situation, and, ilnishin his cuirnnt wine, ho drew his leather sloe acrosn his very large mouth, nnd, (linking his saddle ba;s over his sbo'ilder, he said: "I am goii: g to tho inn. " "That is a I right, n y man," said Mr. Hedges, handing him a coin; "I'll see vou arain." "Will you sen I back an answer, sir?" "Yes; to-jnoiTdW all tho Captain's friends will give you letters to hand to him." "But, sir, I must leino to-night." "To-night''" in chorus from tho people about Th rasher. "Yes: I must go to Gardner's Island, where a boat, will take me toNew York," replied the fellow, with a self-possession that pfoved him no novice in this business. "JHow Ion? will you remain? asked Valentine D ijton. "About tw o hours." "Very we 1; we shall try to have the letters by tbat time," saidrllr. Hedges, Thrasher bowed humbly nnd left. Ie had but just gone out of- hearing when the Squire, bursting with impatience, called out: "Well, George, what is the trouble?" "Trouble!" repeated Mr. Hedges. "Why, the '.rouble ia that Pos Is to be baok in a f sw clays, and I am to report to him for orders!" "Keport to Fox for orders!" "Fox to have command of the Soa Hawk!" "What does Ralph mean?" These wee a few of the exclamations that broke from the lips of the people on the veranda when Mr. Hedges uttered the sentence given aboio. Mr. Hedges ran the lingers of his loft hand nervously through his frosted hair, his right hand clut -hing the letter. He was it bating the propriety of reading it, and on such an important question, for he had the oM-time regard for offioial etiquette. Ho could not afford to come to n hasty conclusion. "Sit dowr, sit down," he said at length; "I can't spo any harm in letting you all know now what every one aship and ashore must, know in a few hours. 'Squiro Cmdit and his wife sat down on the lieutenant's right hand, and Valentine Daylon and Ellen just in front of him. He was noticeably deliberate in his speaking, and painfully so in his reading. He hesitated over some of the words, and his soundless lips spelt thorn to himself l efor.- pronouncing them. This was the letter: "Ssw AN'irEBDAM Iss Bowling GBE at. IttI OF NEW YOB EC ASD se .

What do you think of it "I am very sorry," replied Valentine Daytou, "but, of course, you oan do nothing but obey orders." "Of cour se," erhoed the Lieutenat. "I wish that fellow Fox never showed his red had in this town," said the squire, anirrily. "Oh, he is not to blame; ho must obey orders like ourselves," said the bluff old Lieutenan . "My dear," said Mrs. Condit, inclining her pr tty head to her husband, and turning her mild eyes to the others to Induce tho u to note what the was about to say, "I tlo not think that Kalph wrote that letter. " "I'm sorry to say," said Ihe lawyer, to whom a bit of wax with a seal on it was the badge of law and authority, "that them can't be any doubt about it," "Still," he persisted. "I feel that he did not write it." "Have y u any other reason than your own feelings, dear wife?" asked r.he squire. "Yes; I Jaunot think ihat Balph D-n-ham, who, man and boy has known George Hedges for one and twenty years, wot Id write a cold, stiff, heartless letter like that," "Nor can I believe that lialph wrote It," added Ellen. "Balph cidt't write the letter," said Va'entine Dayton. "It was written by the Captali of the Sea Hawk in his official capao.ty. If he had written to Vncle George, or to me, or to any ot us, as Balph Denham, our true old friend, he'd put an much heart into his words as any man that ever handled a pen. " "Yes," explained Mr. Hedgos, who c-aw and appreciated the mietako of the ladies, "official communications, even between f tther and son, as I've sf en time and time again in the sorvlce, lias all got to be written that wuy. 'Why, they woul In't be oflleial if they wasn't stiff, nnd cold, and lofty, and all that." Neither Ellen nor her mother attempted comment, for, with tho exoeptlon of the Squire, there was not to them a greater authority than Lieut. Georgo Hedges In all tho counfry round about. "There is but little satisfaction in a man trying to do his duty," said Valentine, Witt some bitterness. "Why couldn't the Governor have left Undo George In charge of the ship? As no one attempted to "answer this question, the Squire aske 1 Mr. Hedges if he had any objections to letting him see ihe letter. "Not at nil," replied Mr. Hedges; "road It for yourself." The Sqi Ire took the letter, adjusted his sped a des, and coughed with great solemnity, while his faco took on that expressioi of judicial gra vity which vas the terror of all evil-docis in that country. He was about to read tho letter when Lea Hedg.is came up the path and joined the party. She has seen tho post-rlclor going to Squire Condit's, and her heart told her tlat he carried news from llalph liennam. i After Ellen and her mother had ex- i plained the situation, aad Lea had xpressed her sorrow in her face rather i than by words, tho Squire read tho lott er i aloud, an 1 then, spreading it out on his knee he took off his spectacles, i.ml after wiping them, again adjusted thorn with great nicety to his note; he coneluded these preparations by taking a vigorous pinch of snuff, after he had passed round the box with no taker.. "i ft m a: k vou a question, Lieut n- ; tut Hedgoa," be began, with a severity i

of mien that startled his wifo and perplexed Ellen not a little. "Aye, aye, sir. Fire away," said Mr. Hodges. "Captain Denliam loft you in command of the Sea Hawk?" "Yes, sir." "To hold till ho returned?" "Yes. sir, or till 1 am relieved by some properly oommlseioned officer." Must so; that is tho way I see it. Now this letter does not say that, you are to turn over tho l oniniand of the ship to Captaiii Fox; on the contrary, it; is expressly stated thai, you shall !:oy him as a superior officer, so far ns tho movement of the vessel under your command arc concerned. " "1 think you are right there, squire," Bald Mr. Hedges, his lace brightening up. "I know I am. When Fox comes he will have orders from the Governor, and you'll see that they accord with my opinion ns justice of the penee." And satisfied that all the judges in the world could not differ from this opinion, tho squire handed back th. letter. Vhon Lea learned that Thrasher, tho post-rider was about to return in about an hour or two, she got a quill and paper irom Ellen and sat down then and there to write her lover a lotter. All wrote, Mr. Htcges' being the only lotter that ha 1 an oflici-il tone, and the only ono in which l vo or friendship was not sent to Kalph, with strong injunctions to answer ns soon as possible, and give thcni nil tho particulars, particularly the particular ot his return. When all tho letters were ready, Mr. Hedges and Valentine Eayton took them down to tho inn, where they found Thrasher smoking his pipe with an nir of great enjoyment, anil lookiug like anything but a man exhausted by a long ride. "Those letters," said Valentino Dayton, taking a gold coin from his pocket and handing it with the letterB to Thrasher, "are all private, so I will pay you now, and when you hand them to Capt. Denham, I am sure ho will give you an additional reward." "I like Cap n Bcuham us much as any man I ever tamo across, excopt, perhaps, mebbe, Cnp'n Fox; ho comes up about to him; and you'll see I won't forget mvself," replied Thrasher, whose Unshed faco showed that he had been taking advantage of bis unexpected prosperity to treat himself to wine. Soon after this tho post-rider left for Greenport, from which point ho said he was going to Gardner's Island, then and still in the possession of the family ihat first purchased it from the Indians. "I don't like that man, Thrasher," said Mr. Hodges, as lie and Valentine stood on the bench signaling tho Sea Hawk to send a boat for them. "Nor do I, but oi course the fellow has nothing to do with the nature of tho messages ho carries. I almost wish tho Sea Hawk was out of commission, and wo were settled down on shore again," said Valentino. "Oh, it's all rery well for you, Val, who have a pretty girl ready to become your wife, to talk about settling down; but hero I am iive-antl-l'ort.v, with no wife and tho prospect of none." "That is your own fault, X'ncle George." "Perhaps It is; I could have married in my time, and when I was your age, if any ono had told me I should live to bs as old as I am now, without getting married, I would call him eruzy. Yet, here I am, with no ) ri.le but the ship and no homo but tho sea. " "Oh, come, Vnolo Georgo, don't talk in that way. Every house on the island is yonr home and every man is your friend: and as lo getting married, why a man of forty-five should be in his prime. If you doubt this start Ut nt once with tho object ot getting a wife, and my word lor it. you enn win a girl nearly a-i sweet as Ellen Condit, and that is saying a great deal for the powers of fascination of anv man. young or old." Tho lieutenant's bronzed faco and clear, bravo eyos took on a softer expression, and his usually strong, bold vo'co had iu it a sub-tone of music, as he said: "Perhaps you are right ; Val. I know I feel as s rong, and my head is us clear, and my heart ns stout as it ever was; and talking 'bout b:dng too old to love, I'll tell you something if it wasn't I'm afraid you'd laugh at me." "Y'ou do me nn injustice, I nclo Goorge, if you thing I could cntertoin any other feeling than respect fcr what I th'nk to be tho noblest emotion that can stir the human heart, A man himself In love, is not apt to ridicule tho feelinir iu another." "1 "think you are right, my lad, and more particularly when that ot.iex is one's uncle. But I don't eco why I shouldn't tell you, though you may think strange of my taste, that 1 have had my eye on a certain girl for two years and more." "May I nsk if I know her?" "You do, Val," said the lieutenant, blushing through his tan. "Well, Vncle George, who is she?" "She is not of our race," said the lieutenant, with a solemn shake of the head. "Not of our race! What do vou mean?" "I mean, Val, she aint white " 'But she aint black!" cried Val. "Mercy preserve u! No, she's rod, She's an Indian, Val, a princess in her tribe, and a prettier or nobler woman nev rtiod tho shores of Long Island, I don't i are what color tho next is " "Do you meiin I'ntilla?" "I do, Val." "And have you said anything to her about it?" "Of - course I haven't. But I say, Val, my boy, you must do it for me." "But wiry not make tho proposal yourself, uncle?" "Hang it, lad, I'd rather attack a war frigate. ou must do it forme," said Mr. Hedges, appealiugly. By this tinK' tho boat from tho Sea Hawk reached the shoro near by, and bo brought an end to what the old lieutenant afterwards denared was "tho most trying eonversnt on he had ever tackled during the iive-and-forty years" of his by no means uneventful life. Lea Hedges parted with Kllen at the gate, nnd under an impulse that she could not resist, she made her way lo the place where she and Balph Denham had for the first time come to an understanding. She felt hurt that he had not sent ono word to her by the messenger, "it would have taken to little of his time," she said, as site sat down on the fallen trunk of the same tree, 'so little of his time, yet it would have fed my liuncry heart, if he had only reneateii what I so well know 'Lea, I lovo you.' " Sho saw Valentino and her uncle in earnest conversation, ns they waited for the boat that hastened to them from tho Sea Hawk; and sho enviod them, for she supposed they were diseus-ingnaval matters, una that love could only ongross men when they had nothing else to do, while with her own sex, love absorbed all their thoughts, if it did not control all tho oets of their lives. She regretted that Captain Fox was coming back, and she made up her mind to hold him at arm's length if ho i outinn d his coarse attentions. She could not even think kindly of her father while this man plagued her thoughts. Sho was not aware (lint another person was near her till she heard her name called in accents low, musical and thrilling, nnd looking up with a start, she saw 1 ntllla before her. The Indian maiden had attendod the same school with Leu, Ellen and the young ladies of the hotter families in tho place, and in many respoels she was the intellectual equal of the brightest. Sho was particularly diMlnnuiflhed for the frankness of her manners a frankness that was as far removed from rudeness as the clear waters of a willow-shaded spring differ from the tinged stream to wific!: it ghes rise. Untilla had all tho dignity of character that distinguished tho rulers of her laoe, but there blended with It a gentle

ness nnd a freshness of disposition, which some call natural, and all know to be lov.ng. In proof of this it may be said, here lis well as hereafter, that Cn 111a well knew that l ea loved l!a!p!i Denham. Jn the days when they were laughing school girls, Len ninile no secret to her friends ol the feeling then being warmed into n life that should only die out with her own. And tho Indian maiden, with the dUnifled reticence of her people, kopt her own counsel; but as sho could not act a He. her manner to Balph Denham told her iecliug for him as plainly us if she had announced it iu a meeting of tho tribe. lTntilIn, since the return of the Sea Hawk from the last irrni; e, fcaw where the young Captain's affections lay, and while her heart rebelled for a moment ngiiinst the inevitable, she made up her mind to submit, and for his sake continue loving what he loved. "Why, I ntiiiu!" exclaimed Lea. as she took the Indian girl s hands, and drew her to a seat on the fallen tree. "I supposed you were miles and miles away." "I would be back at my Uottie, I should be there, for my brother has the white man, Colonel Graham, for a guest, were it not fcr you," replied Emilia, still holding one of Len s hands. "Thon, my dear Vrt.Ua, If you come to see me, you must do It at my father's house," said Lea, prepnr ng to rise. jTO ill: COS'i'lKl'fclJ'

Rowbothan, a well-known resident of Winnipeg, Manitoba, to a Washington Star reporter, "a man could leave Winnipeg- and ride 1,00.) miles west and north (vest over a level prairie before he would be obstructed by mountains. This gives an idea of the great territory lyintt west of Winnipeg, which, to the Eastern man, seems way out of the world. The soil of this prairie produces the llnest spring wheat grown anywhere and tills enormous plain I've just mentioned will in a few years be the great granary of the world. Eastern people have a misty idea of our expansive territory. We are just commencing to grow wheat compared to a decade hence, though our crop two years ago was 30,000,000 btislie s. We have but little snow, and ihe uaity years I resided in Manitoba I never saw the tops of the bright jcairle grass covered. Cattle fairly roll in fat and we are becoming a great cattle country. While most of our tattlers are from across the water, vet the number from the Western Si ites is yearly increasing. We have no wild west frontier scenes.

The atmosphere is dry and the days are clear, fresh and sunny, -murky weather being almost unknown." i Finger lungs. There is reason to believe that finger ring have always been nstd. We find such ornaments in the ruins of the i abodes of prehisioiic races. Rings . are Hist mentioned in the Hible in Henesis. 41st chapter and 42d verse: ; "And l'haraoh took ;iis ring from his : hand and put it on Joseph's hand, and made him ruler over all Egypt." When the Israelites conquered the ' Midianiles they "Ux U all their rings ! and bracelets and offered them to the i Lord." Ahasu'erus gave the ring ! from his hands to ti e Hebrews' worst i enemy, thus givinj: him unlimited 1 control to do with them and their i property whatever be pleased. The : father received his prodigal son joyi fully, and sealed his forgiveness by i putting a ring (in li s hand, says Mrs. i Henry Ward Jteccher in Oodey's Magazine. The Egyptians regarded ! their rings both as business vouchI ers and as ornanvints, the signer i rings being always used lor sealing i documents, and, however used, iheit I rings were always buried with them i and in later years arc offeu found in ; their tombs. The signet ring was ! usually ot bronze or silver; but j among the rich gold rings were use;! I for ornaments. Ivory or blue porce lain were worn by the poor. Plain gold rings, engraved with some motto or the head' of tlieir dieties, were much prized, and three or four were often worn on the lingers and also on the thumbs. A uong the Jews no one was in full dress without the signet ring, and ladles had their rings set profusely wit h costly gems rubies, erne: aids and chrysolites being the. most valuable. Kings to-day are universally worn. It is quite a general custom for ladies to wear an engagement ring upon the first finger of the left hand, while the wedding ring is worn upon the third finger of the left hand. Pullman (111.) Journal. An Irish Tradition. Nowwhcre does tradition nourish so luxuriantly as in Ireland, in places every inch of the ground has its queer history and some quaint story attached to it. For instance, not far from Leifast there is a romantic oil well in a curious hollow of the hills called llamas gap. The well is, known as llamas well and is filled at the bottom with white stones, the heather around being covered with pieees of rags. Close, too, is a large mound composed of stones, which is said to over the bones of a holy friar long sinee dead. Every visitor to the well appears to make it a practice of addrYig a stone to a heap already there, but for what reason it is impos-dble to say. 1ST 1842 Dr. C.

The Biggest Foot on Earth. If there is anything on earth which contributes to make a handsome woman proud it U pretty feet. An infinite amount of misery is caused by the ladies emlfuvoring to crowd a ftiO. 4 foot into a No. '2 shoe, and a great many of the masculine gender suffer with corns beoauso the covering of their pedal extremities fits too much. A woman with a big foot is inclined to be unhappy, but what must be the soriow of Fannie Mills, who resides two miles east of this city. She has the biprgest feet in the world so far as known, and they are still growing. The poor girl is a marvelous ouriosity, and only those who have seen her ponderous feet would ever believe they are bo immensp. Fannie Mills is 23 years old, and resides ou the dairy farm of her father, Georgo Mills, two miles from Bandusky. The family are English, and emigrated to this country eleven years ago. The father is well-to-do, and makes a good living from the sale of milk. Mrs. Mills is a small, keenlooking woman with a pleasing face. There are fivo children besides the unfortunate Fanny, all of whom are healthy and good-looking. The deformed girl for her feet are very imperfect, li uflliotod with fclephantiasis from tha hips to tho ankle. Her head, shoulders and bust are normal, although she is slightly built. Fimnio has a plain but interest ing face. Her dark, largo eyes possess considerable expression, and thrro in n sad look upon her countenance which shows that sho fully appreciates her deplorable condition. The right foot is 1 foot 6 inches in length, and the left 1 inch shorter. Over the instep of the right foot is 21 inches, and over the other 1 inch less. The big too of the left foot is 11 inches in circumference. The right foot is longer than the left by an inch, but the latter is heavier and thicker. The feet are respectively 7 and 8 inches wide. From this actual measurement of Fannie Mills' feet one can readily imagine what luarveloiifcly large shoes she most wear. The left shoo is 16 inches long, the I f right 1H uiones in length. Ihe lett inches wide, and tho other 8 inches. Tlie right instep of the shoe measures 19 inches, the left 17 inches. Fannie Mills weighs 109 pounds, and, although delicate-looking, savs she has good health. It takes two calf -hides to make her a pair of shoes, and nil her vitality goes to sustain her massive limbs and feet. The girl had usually large feet when she was born, and they have con tinued to gi'ow alarmmglv fast ever since. Tho cause of tho malformation is said to arise from the fact that before Fannie was born Mr. Mills compelled his wife to wash the swelled leg of a horse, verv much to her horror and diS' gust. The young woman is without doubt a great curiosity her feet a marvelous freak of nature. Sandusky (Oliio) letter. Greatest Rutm In tli World. George Curzon, tho English member of Parliament,- recently returned from a seveu months' tour of the tar East, and in Riving a Pall Mall lluditet man an account of his wanderings said that he bad visited the ruins of Angkor, an ancient Chinese city, with remains of the most magnificent and stupendous character. He photographed the tenipln of Angkor Wat, which, It ii supposed, was built by tho Kuuicrs, who came from India between A. I). 700 and 1 100. Tho ruins of these temples and palaces, Mr. Curzon thinks, are the most l emorkaWe in the world. They are situated in the midst of a tropical forest. The forest growth Is so thick that to approach them it Is necessary to cut a way witu billhooks. Ho dense was tlif undergrowth that the Journey to soma of the ruins was made In darkness. So little Is known about them and so thoroughly are they bidden by the forest that many of tho people in the neighborhood have forgotten the actual site. Uriol.
