ANNE’S STRATAGEM.

Capt. Ljucien Gauthier, having been ordered to report himself to the General commanding the French forces ‘in Btrasburg, had found very comfortable quarters there. He had been billeted in the house of a stately dame, a widow, who boro the sounding name of Yon BtralenidOrff, but she was evidently of French 'extraction, although her name was so decidedly German. Her sympathies were also French, as the cordial hospitality she extended to tin; young officer amply proved. She lived in a quaint old mansion, ’whose spacious garden overlooked the’river ltliine. Her domestics were few, consisting couple named Pratzner, and Their slug? gisti but goml-uatured daughter, a buxom, robust young woman of 20 years of age, called Katrina. Capt. liucien Gauthier was treated with as much consideration as if tie had been a relative of the widow VonStralendoriV. His personal merits, however, may have had Something to do with this treatment. He possessed, in an eminent degree, ttie art of pleasing—possessed it naturally and unobtrusively. He had a good tigure, tall and commanding, suit made a frank and open expression of countenance. He became a uniform admirably. Ho looked like a real soldier, not one (dressed for a holiday parade. The dark, heavy mustache that graced his upper lip added to his martial appearance, His flow of animal spirits was great, and his small talk inexhaustible. The widow Btralendorff found him a Most entertaining guest, and the interest s he took in.ucoYjd.'ng for his comfort The Turkish War TYpir’T---destitute of funds. »- ' ...soTf much contracts is * . He took the Turkish \vAiame to him, and Huleiman Pash it under all eircuinfrom Osiv'i’i* l thought did occur to him, power, that she might have a design upon him in the way of matrimony, mid widied him to till the place of the departed Vori -Btralendorff; but, when lie considered that she wan fit) and lie was 25,.tie discarded the idea as preposterous. He had been tint a week beneath this, hospitable roof when the Game Von Stralendorff informed him that a niece of hers' was about to pay tier a visit—, the'young lady being the daughter of her youngest anil only surviving’lirother. “ 1 am glad she is coming,”' said the widow, “for T think you will enjoy some feminine society younger than mine.” The Captain thought there was a sly significance in these words, but then he might have been mistaken. “Anna lias been well educated, and is tolerably pretty, and so I think you will like her,” continued the old lady. If Dame Vou Stralondorff had intended to excite the Captain’s curiosity in regard to the forthcoming visitor, she fully succeeded in doing so. He looked forward anxiously for the day of her arrival. He had uot long to wait. Anne came the, second day after the announcement that she was coming. Capt. Gauthier was duly introduced to her, and he did like her. She was pretty, as her aunt had said—pretty, petite, piquante. ' Her figure, though small, was nicely proportioned, and her features were of the Flemish type. She had the kind of face that Rubens loved to paint. A peachy complexion, small mouth and pouting lips, a nose that turned upward slightly at the point, laughing blue eyes, and'luxuriant hair of a deep lemon hue, or something of that glossy, shiny tint that the silk displays when it hangs from the cocoon. Anne was m her twentieth year, and was a self-possessed young lady. She and Capt. Gauthier soon became the best of friends. They rode together, they sailed together upon the Rhine, they sang duets together, to the great delight of the relict of Von Stralendorff, and they took walks together in the garI den by moonlight. All this was very ro--1 mantle, and you will naturally suppose that it led to the inevitable result. It did. • Capt. Gauthier soon found that the pretty and agreeable Anne had awakened a new sensation in his heart, and he began to fear that he was falling in love with her. Isay “fear,” because Gauthier, despite Ins carelessness and lightheartedness, was a man of honor. He knew that lie had no business to fall in love with Anne, or induce her to fall id love with him, So lie took her into his confidence as a preventive against both these evils; He was the affianced husband of the daughter of a rich citizen in Paris, named Ayrault, and their nuptials were merely awaiting the termination of the campaign. Napoleon the Third expected to make a very short war. And so lie did. Rut it did not end in the manner arranged on his programme. I his marriage was one of convenience, as it is called, and had been arranged by the heads of the families of Gauthierand Ayrault. The young people had no voice whatever in the matter. Their acquiescence was a matter of course. They were both eligible parties, and the settlements on eitlicr side were to beiunple. If they could not love each other as man and wife when they, that would their fault. But life is not devoid of consolation. Failing to love each other, they could, in true French fashon, love somebody else.. Lucien Gauthier grew to manhood with this prospective marriage hanging over him. The contract had been signed when both were in their nonage. Lucien had never seen Julia Ayrault since the signing of the contract, and he had conceived an intense dislike against his promised wife, and had inwardly resolved that he never would marry her. This feeling had induced him to adopt the career of a soldier. He thought it would require less courage to face the enemy than a wife he could not love—nay, whose very name he had learned to loathe. He never uttered it even without making a grimace. But this resolve placed our gallant Captain in rather an awkward situation, for hip.contract bound him to Julia Ayrault, and, if he would not marry her, he could uot honorably offer his hand to any other woman. I

The thought of this, however, never troubled him until he encountered the sprightly little woman who rejoiced in the name of Anne, and then it occurred to him that it would be a pleasant thing if he were a free man. But he knew he was not, and so he manfully resolved to tell Anne the truth and prevent her falling in love with him, as she seemed very well inclinod to do, and to check hisown growing passion—nip it in the bud, as it were, before it could attain a proportion t roublesome to his peace of mind. To his surprise, and disappointment mingled somewhat with it, Anne appeared consider that it was his duty to marry Julia Ayrault. “What, whether I love her or not?” he demanded. “ Oh, you will learn to love her,” she answered. “ Never !” he efied, emphatically; and he was about to add that it was impossible now that he had met her, but prudence restrained the words. I “Jill, yes, you will !” insisted Amie. “ She is very amiable, not bad-looking, and she will make you a good wife.” The assertion amazed the Captain. “Do you know her, then?” he inquired. “Oh,, yes; I liavo met her frequently in Paris. She was educated at the same pensionnat.” “ Did she ever speak of me?” “Often. Her heart is ilet upon this marriage. She loves you, if you do not love her, I know.” Capt. Gauthier sighed dismnlly. “How can I love her ?” he responded. “ Especially after ” He paused confusedly. “ What?” she asked pensively. “ Nothing—-no matter! Oh, why don’t the Governor order a sortie, or something, so I could get a chance to be killed off?”

“ Oh, don’t !” cried Anne, in alarm. The order for a sortie came, as if expressly to accommodate tlie Captain. He finished his breakfast hastily, and then began to equip himself for the field. Madame Von Stralendorff had retired to l»er own room, but Anne remained to assist him in equipping himself. She stooped under his right arm, buckling on his belt, while ho held the sword in his left hand; and, as she clasped the buckle,’ he noticed that her lingers trembled, and her face wore an anxious look. That face was fully exposed to his view, as her flossy light hair was drawn back from her forehead, and fastened by a high quaint comb, evidently of Spanish manufacture. Never had Anne’s face looked so charming to him as it did at that moment. IBs right aTm descended, with an involuntary action, encircled Anne’s waist, and drew her to his breast. Her head rested confidingly against his chest, and her upturned eyes were raised to Iris, betraying too plainly the secret of her heart. She loved him. There was no mistaking the story told by those violet orbs. “O, if you should be killed!” she murmured, plaintively. He bent his head and kissed the red, pouting lips consolingly. She accepted the kiss as a matter of course. “Don’t worry,” lie said; “ I shall return in Safety to you, that is, if you’ll promise to marry me when I come back. ” “ O, how can I ? , 'v “ Easy enough. ” “ But Julia Ayrault ?” “ I shall never marry her.” * must.” “ Theu'T’tL put myself iu the way of the first cannon-ha!! I set* coming. ” “ No, no, you mustn’t do that. ’ “ Promise to marry me, then.” “ Well, then—I —I—” “Will?” “Y-e-s.” He kissed her again.

“ That’s a dear girl,” he cried. “ Just mention the subject to your aunt while I’m gone, will you ? I shall write to my lather iu Paris the moment I return, and tell him to have tiie contract with Julia Ayrault annulled. And now a short farewell until we meet again.” Once more he kissed her, and then hurried from the room. She ran to the window and watched him as he mounted his. horse, in the court-yard and rode through the massive gate, which old Pratzner held open for him, and then lot it clang heavily to when he was gone. “ O, if lie should never come back !” she exclaimed. Madame Yon Stralendorff’ entered the apartment and approached her. “ Ik’ is gone,” she said. “Yes. Alas, if I should never see him more !” “ Don’t borrow trouble, War is a perilous game, and he must take his risk with the rest. He is brave and active, and let us hope Providence will spare him to you. You love him?” “ O, dearly.” “ I don’t wonder at that. He’s a noble young man. I could almost love him myself—that is, if I were a little younger. But does ho love you ?” “ I believe he does, with all his soul.” “ Very good. So, tlieu, your stratagem has succeeded, and you can thank me for suggesting it.” * “I do, aunt, and I am under infinite obligations to you.” “Tush! you’re .welcome. I should never have thought of it if I had not taken a fancy to the young fellow myself.’’ C The rest of that day passetFanxiously to Anne." From the upper windows of the mansion she watered the bridge that crossed the river, ailqthe fields upou the opposite shore. She saw the troops from the city file gayly over the bridge, theiifc bayonets glistening in the sunlight, a glittering array. She heard the reports of the cannon, but the scene of the strife was beyond her vision. Hours passed away, and then the little army that hud marched so proudly and confidently away came back straggling and in disorder. Even her inexperienced eye could read these tokens of defeat. Her heart began to beat painfully. Where was Lucien Gauthier? Dead, wounded, a prisoner ? —or alive and returning in safety ? The sound of the gate-bell soon answered that question for her. .She hurried down to meet him. He was harassed uud worn, and covered with dust, but unwounded. He had passed through the strife unscathed. It was a tender meeting between them. In the joy that each experienced, they knew how much they loved each other. He went to his chamber and changed his uniform, and then sat down to the repast prepared for him. Tho meal was partaken of with very few words, for the Captain had brought a good appetite from the Held with him. When he had finished, the table was cleared of all but tho wine and fruit. Then Lucien found his tongue. Then he looked at Anne, who sat opposite him, and then at Madame Von Stralendorff, who Occupied the head of the table, and again at Anne. “ Have you told your aunt?” he inquired.

“ Yoe,” answered Aime, demurely. “ Have you any objection?’’ “ Not the Blightest,” replied Madame You Stralendorff, urbanely. “ You know my family ?” “ All about it.” “But you do not know all about me,” interposed Anne, with a roguish smile; “and, when I have said a few words to you, you will agree to marry Julia Ayrault.” “ Never!” “ Then you cannot marry me.” “ Why not?” “Because—Oh, you short-sighted mortal! —l am Julia Ayrault!” Oapt. Lucien was very much astonished, but he hardly needed the explanation that followed, for the little device through his brain with instantaneous conviction. " Though t yoi| had agreed to marry

me, you appeared determined not to love or even see me,” continued Julia; “and so I resolved to see you, and, if you were worth it, make you love me. Fortune favored my scheme in sending you here ,so my aunt—for she is my aunt, although she married a German. She wrote me word that you were quartered in her house, and bo I came as Anne; my name is Julia Anne, although you may not know it/* “ I know that I love you,” interrupted Lucien, “ and that you are to be my wife —for I shall abide by the contract now— is all that is necessary.” “Then you will forgive the little deception I practiced upon you?” asked Julia. It was an idle question. Of course he did.

AGRICULTURAL AND DOMESTIC.

Around tho Farm. “A farm,” says the Kentucky Live Stock Journal , “is the best material possession in the world.” A writer in the Massachusetts Ploughman says: “I have given ten years’ trial to the cultivation of the raspberry. My experience is that the only way to get one’s expenses back is to sell plants at .$1 per dozen.”/ A horticulturist furnishes the following recipe to preserve all kinds of grain from the ravages of cut-worms, birds, etc.: One pound sulphate of iron, one ounce aloes. Dissolve in water heated to ninety or ninety-five degrees, and pour over one bushel of grain.— Ohio Farmer. A dairyman remarked that before sitting down to milk a kicking heifer he put a “ snap ” attached to the end of a rope into her nose, and tied tlie rope to a pin put iuto the scaffold girt over the manger, slightly elevating her nose, and she stood as quietly while she was milked as the most gentle cow in the stable.— American Cultivator. Many young fruit trees, especially pears, are burned to death during the hot season. Even when the ground is kept wet and their roots are moist enough, young aud newly-set trees upon which the bark is thin and tender are cooked by the sun as by a fire, and the branches and trunks die while the roots remain alive. This nmy often be prevented by winding the trunks with cloths, which shuts out the sun.- Mirror and Farmer.

I filled a hall'-hogshead with rainwater, and put into it one-quarter pound ammonia and one-quarter pound common niter. When the strawberry plants were blossoming out I gave them a sprinkling of tho solution at evening twice a week until the fruit was nearly full size. The result was double the amount of fruit on those where the Up uid was applied to what was obtained nom those right alongside upon which none of the liquid was applied. —Frail Record. Rows of grape-vines should ruu north and south, so that every leaf may get the sunlight either in the forenoon or afternoon. This is more important in September than during the heat of summer. If the rows run east and west, the vines shade the entire ground and hence you lose a large part of the heat, and the moment the suu disappears there is no stored-up heat to carry the vines through the nigh,,.' This in time of frost 'K of great” importance.— MassaHfiusefts Hoard of Agriculture. We have learned to jest at gapes by making free use of camphor. We give to a chicken in a very bad case a pill the size of a small garden pea. As soon as we see symptoms of gapes we give the birds water to drink which is strongly impregnated with camphor, thus giving to the chickens that which was a favorite medicine with our great-grandmothers, “ camphor julep.” The treatment seems to explain itself. The gapes or “gapiug’ rr i?hcaijsed by the presence of small red woriWin the windpipe. No medicine can reach them unless it does so by vapor. An hour after the chicken has swallowed the pill it smells of camphor. Camphor is a very strong vermifuge, and the worms die.— London Cottage Gardener.

J. M. Haynes, of Lebanon, Ohio, finds a sweet-corn crop more profitable than a distillery. He raises over 5.00 acres of this crop annually. The drying house employs over fifty persons. The fresh ears are steamed five minutes to “set the milk;’’ tlie grain is then cut off rapidly with cutters having Concave faces; then spread on perforated ziue tables, and heat applied four or five hours from long furnaces, stirring constantly • then packed in barrels of three bushels each for shipment. Great care is required to have the corn just at the right age, aud to have it dried just enough to keep well. Four bushels of fresh corn on the cob make one bushel dried —the wholesale price of which is S2O to $22 per barrel. At fifty bushels of corn per acre, 500 acres would yield 25,000 bushels, and give over 2,000 barrels of dried corn, which, at S2O per barrel, would be $40,000. — Nebraska Farnirr.

When boiling poultry never put a fork in the lean part of the meat, as it allows the juices to escape. A Sure Cure For Corns.— Bathe in a strong solution of soda, pare off close aud touch with carbolated iodine; repeat the application of iodine next day and a cure will speedily follow. „ It is stated that spirits of turpentine, sprinkled through the house once a week, is a sure preventive against scarlet fever and other diseasrs. It is also stated that it will keep moths out of carpets. To purify cess-pools and sinks, dissolve a few pounds of copperas in a bucket of water, and pour into sinks or vaults of water-closets, aud it will neutralize unpleasant odors and destroy deleterious exhalations. To Keep Away Moths.—A small piece of paper or linen, moistened with sjiirits of turpentine, put into a bureau or wardrobe for a single day, two or three times, is said to be a sufficient preservative against moths. A small, dish of charcoal placed in your meat larder will keep the articles sweet and wholesome almost as well as iee. Charcoal is a great disinfectant. Occasionally used for cleansing the teeth, it will sweeten the breath when nothing else will do so. Canaries. —To exterminate lice from canary birds, use hollow canes for perches; shake out well mornings into a cup of water, ami you will catch them all. Two parts canary, one rape, and one part hemp seed is the best food. The canes used are pipe-stems, ordinarily called tobacco stems. Cracked Hands Cured. —None but a laboring man, who has suffered misery while using an ax, or pounding with other tools, can rightly appreciate this article. For years, when young, I suffered at some seasons untold bitterness, caused by dry cracks on hands and fingers. I tried every so-called remedy I could hear of, but in vain ; and, being obliged then to labor each successive day for an honest livelihood, I wan bound, as with an iron chain, to such sufferings as almost made life a burden. At last a fyjend told me to put common copal varnish into the oracks, Mid it wou]<] eure them. Although my

faith was very weak, I tried the prescription, and, to my great joy, sure enough, in forty-eight hours my h ands were as well as ever. It does not save from fresh cracks, but it never fails to entirely cure the old ones within two days. I kept a small bottle of the varnish, with a sliver standing in it—cost ten cents—always handy, and with its help my hands are nearly well. For knowledge of this simple remedy I would not part for many dollars. I have given it to many others for many years, and have never known of its failure to effectually cure in all such cases. I don’t know that the subject can be considered agricultural (perhaps it is only cuticultural), but there are probably farm readers of your paper who will be glad to get tlie information.

Colorado’s Wonderful Wealth.

The mines here, as nowhere else that I know of, are rich from the very surface, so much so, in fact, that they pay for their own development and leave a comfortable margin to those who work them. Tests by actual assay show silver ruuning from thirty to as high as two thousand ounces per ton from a depth of not more than ten feet, the same ores producing at the mills from thirty to five hundred ounces per ton by the quantity. What this country now wants is capital. There are already millions of dollars invested and room for millions more. Mills and reduction works are springing into existence on all sides; the lixiviation works at Lake City, the reduction works of the Crook Brothers, at the same point, Green’s smelting works at Silverton, and the new reduction and smelter works now in course of construction or proposed on Henson creek, in Burrow’s park, at the mouth of the Cottonwool, Mineral City, Silverton and other points, one and all promise to be scenes of unexpected activity, the tide of capitalists and miners now pouring in being unparalleled in the years past. The new reduction works of the Melville Company at Silverton are about ready for occupancy, the works of the Walker Brothers lightning amalgamator being in position and requiring but the fiuisliing touches to put them iu working order with from forty to fifty stamps. There are fully live thousand mines in Sau Juan, with the indications

strong that before this yenr has expired the number discovered will increase the sum total to half as many more. Since the first discovery of gold in the nowfamous Saugre de Cristo mines—November, 1871—quartz lias bee steadily taken out ruuning from SSO to SSOO per ton, while one load is running at tho enormous rate of $40,000 per ton. The Summit is, however, the great gold-bearing district, being exclusively confined to that most precious of metals. There are now no less than six mills in the Summit dis trict—tho Adams, Little Annie, Golden Queen, Bowen, Consolidated and Golden Star, and the gold saved in those hulls alone the present season will reacli fully one million dollars. Last year the bullion product of Colorado was, gold $5,165, 000 ; silver, $3,200,000, or a total of $6365,000, independent of lead and copper, which is estimated at $140,000. This year it is confidently expected that the total bullion product will reach ten millions of money. The average silver ore of San .’Juan runs from $l5O to $2,000 per ton, the smelting works at Silverton averaging $220 per ton the season through. No silver-mining country in the world can equal this showing of yield, nor can any other mining country equal the San Juan in tho ratio of expense in taking out the ores, it averaging but $8 to $lO per ton. — Rocky Mountain Tourist.

Up the Bosphorus.

Drifting cautiously down to the mouth of the. Golden Horn, picking our way among the shipping that is anchored in mid-stream, we turn away from the point of the Seraglio, head due north, and find ourselves entering a river. This is the Bosphorus; it might be the Hudson, or any other winding stream that has green walls and is lovely to look upon. Just think of it for a moment. On our right the eastern shore is Asia; on our left, to the west, is Europe; at our back is the Sea of Marmora, and in two hours we shall have come to tho waters of tlie Black sea. The channel turns so abruptly at times that seven land-locked lakes are formed, each more charming than the last. Palaces, villas, villages line the delicious shores; the hills brood over the waters like hanging gardens of delight. I believe that the remarkable beauty of the Bosphorus is positively unequaled iu the world, for nature has made here a bed for art to dream in. Behold two continents, face to face, like rival queens, glassing themselves between two classic seas. We are cruising between the Pontus and the Propontis, the Euxine and Marmora. We swing from shore to shore; pause for a few moments at each landing; exchange passengers, and have ever about us a landscape that is renewed at every turn, and a surprise that is as fresh when we steam up the Golden Horn at sunset as at the hour when we came out of it with our hearts full of expectation. —Charles Warren Stoddard, in San Francisco Chronicle.

A Letter 334 Years Old.

Frederick Lauer, Esq., has at present in his possession an original manuscript letter of the great reformer, Martin Luther, dated in the year 1512. Tlie letter is written on a half sheet of paper, note size, and is in a well-preserved condition. The manuscript is legible, and the signature “Mart. Luther, D.” is written in a good bold hand. There is no doubt as to the authenticity of this letter, written in the dialect of the German language current during the sixteenth century. The signature aud chirography have been compared with other manuscripts of Dr. Martin Lutlicr still in existence and found to Be an exact resemblance. Tho letter is a brief dissertation on the eighteenth psalm, and contains thoughts similar to those found in the “ Hymn of the Deformation,” and it is believed that the inditing of this letter first led to the composition of that famous hymn. The letter contains expressions which now sound exceedingly curious, in the present refined condition of the German language. The writing is neat and concise, although- difficult to read, except to a thorough student of German, in consequence of abbreviation and singular terms used. The age of the letter, 334 years, and its excellent state of preservation give it great value, and it will no doubt ultimately find an eager purchaser in some collector of curiosities of this kind. —Reading (Pa.)

A Horse Eating a Lamb’s Head.

Cyrel Vesper of the town of Oak Grove has on various occasions found his lambs in a headless condition, and all his efforts to discover the cause were unavailing until last week. One morning he stood in his yard and saw a horse, which he uses but little, walk up to a lamb, take it by the head, and shake it. When Vesper arrived at the spot the horse had nearly devoured the head.— Reaver Dam (N. C.) Argus.

« Canker in the Bud."

You watch its development with expectant solicitude—the choice, exquisitely-molded bud, which promises to unfold with th e perfect flower. You perhaps think how it will adorn the draw-ing-room vase, and anticipate the pleasure of showing it to your flower-loving friends. But some morning yon find its head drooping, its fragrance fled, and an ugly purple spot on one of. the delicately-tinted petals. It is the poet’s “canker in the bad.” How often the loathsome canker blights tho cherished “infant blossoms” in our household gardens—those human buds which give earnest of a brilliant future. The noisome canker, so long concealed—scrofula —at length reveals its dreaded presence and to our bright hopes succeeds the most agonizing fear, for we know the fatal sequel it portends—pulmonary consumption. It is estimated by eminent medical authorities that at least one-fifth of mankind are afflicted with this insidious malady. But its ravages are so secret that even its victims arc Unaware of its presence until it suddenly discloses itself in some of its myriad and ofttimes fatal forms. A slight cutaneous eruption is often the only indicator of its presence. The only means of exterminating this disease from the system is by a thorough course of constitutional treatment. This treatment must fulfill three indications, namely, promote nutrition, alter or purify the blood, and arrest disorganization of the tissues and the formation of tubercles. No more efficient alterative can be employed for those purposes than Dr. l’ieree’s Golden Medical Discovery". While imparting strength and tone to the digestive organs It cleanses the blood and heals the diseased tissues. Test its virtues ere the deadly canker has blighted tho life you prize.

A Medicine of Many Uses.

A medicine which remedies dyspepsia, liver complaint, constipation, debility, intermittent and remittent fevers, urinary and uterine troubles, depurates the blood, counteracts a tendency to rlienmatism and gout, and relieves nervousness, may lie truly said to have many uses. Such an article is Hostetter’s Bitters, one of tlie most reliable alteratives of a disorderly to a well-ordered state of the system ever prepared or sold. It has been over a quarter of a century before the public, is inby many eminent professors of the hea'ing art, and its merits have received repeated recognitions in .the columns of leading American and foreign journals. It is highly esteemed in every part of (his country, and is extensively used in South America, Mexico, the British possessions and the West Indies. If its increase in public favor in the past is to be regarded as a reliable criterion of its gain in popularity in coining years, it has indeed a splendid future before it.

Thf. Sttn continues to be the strenuous advocate of reform anil retrenchment, and of the substitution of statesmanship, wisdom and integrity for hollow pretense, imbecility amt fraud in the administration of public affairs. It contends for the government of the people by the people and for ttiopeople, as opposed to government by frauds in the ballot-box and in the counting of votes, enforced by milit iry violence. It endeavors to supply its readers—a body now not far from a million of souls—with the most careful, complete and trustworthy accounts of current events, and employs for this purpose a numerous and carefully selected staff of reinirters and correspondents. Its reports from Washington, especially, are full, accurate ana fearless ; and it doubtless continues to deserve aml enjoy the hatred of those who thrive by'plundering the Treasury oi by usurping what the law does not give them, while it endeavors to merit the confidence of the public by defending the rights of the people against the encroachments of unjustified power.
