, ,^ e table, his forehead being AW i his hand, which however, a not hide the marks of introspecve mflexiyjity on his features as ne narrated in fullest detail the incidents of the transactions with the i if. S u or . tinge of indifference which had first been visible in the Scotchman now disappeared. Henchard went on to describe his attempts to find his wife; the oath he swore; the solitary life he led during the years which followed. “I nave kept my oath for eighteen years,” he went on, “and have risen you see me now.” And it’s not a small couterbalance to the immoral years that ye’ve done so much since!” “Well—no wife could I hear of in ■alhthat time, and being by nature something of a woman hater, I have found it no hardship to keep at a distance from the sex. No wife could I hear of, I say, till this very day. And now—she has come back,” “Come back, has she?” . ■ “This morning—this very morning. And what’s to be done?” “Can’t ye take her and live with her, and so make amends” “That’s what I’ve planned and proposed. But, Farfrae,” said Henchard, with desperate awkwardness, “I'm in a fix, a devil of a fix, nil the same. For there’s more behind.” “And how’s that!” “There's another woman in the case; and, by no fault of anybody’s, there will be great wrong done her.” “Ye doi)’t say that!” “Just hear for yourself. Forj many years it has been my custom to run across to Jersey in the way o business, particularly in the potato season. I do a large trade with them in that line. Well, this summer I was there, and met with an accident. I fell out of a boat in the harbor and struck my head in falling. If somebody had not helped me instantly I shoultfhave been drowned. An account of it was in our local newspaper at the tfme.” “Indeed! And it’s all haphazard in this life!” (to be continued. ) IGNORANCE AND BLISE. Simple' Life of the Georgia Dweller on the Spurs of the Glue Ridgr roccoa j'Tp-n-s, The mountaineer with his covered wagon laden with apples and cabbages is beginning to wend his way to our town. He and his conveyance make a picturesque sight, but of this fact he is as ignorant as he is of the ways of fashionable society. Up among the spurs of the Blue Ridge, where the atmosphere is pure and bracing, where cool, clear springs burst boldly from the craggy hillsides and rush gleefully seaward, and where nature presents some of her most charming phases, the mountaineer has built an unpretentious house. Though perhaps not fully appreciative of his surroundings, he loves the mountain and his humble and peaceful mode of life. An ancient philosopher has said: “That man approaches nearest to perfect happiness who has fewest wants.” Measured by this rule, the mountaineer is quite a happy individual. He desires no better house or furniture than he possesses. His little farm furnishes him sufficient corn for bread and for “mountain dew,” rye, wheat, cabbage, etc., while chickens innumerable swarm around his cabin, and rosy-cheeked apples hang in profusion from the orchard trees. He is not ambitious, and he pines neither for wealth nor lame. The old-fashioned loom and spinning-wheel are in use in his household and furnish the cloth used by him. He needs a little money to pav taxes, and for some other purposes occasionally. One of the easiest ways, frequently, for him to obtain cash is to convert some of his corn into a liquid form. He has no more compunctions of conscience in doing this than the houswife in making jam out of blackberries. Win n lie does not resort to moonshining to make monev, at this season of the year he loads a wagon with cabbage and apples, occasionally placing a jug of mountain dew or \a keg of applejack underneath his produce. Ho hitches his slow but sure oxen to the wagon and starts to market, often twenty-five, thirty, and even fifty miles distant. Time is not regarded as money by him, and if lie is absent from home eight or ten days he cares not. He carries food for himself and his cattle and sleeps in the wagon, so his expense on the trip is nothing. When his produce has been disposed of he buys some salt, a little sugar, and that is about all. If his load brings him $5 or $10 ho. considers that all clear profit. A little later in the season he may be expected to return with chestnuts. Thus for generations has lived omong the grandest scenery in Georgia the mountaineer, in this primitive and simple way. Perhaps it. was of such as he of whom the poet paid: “Where ignorance is bliss 'twere folly to be wise.” The mountaineer is a unique character, but ho doesn't know it.

DEPARTMENT OK THE INMiOH. Annual Report of Secretary Hoke Smith. Tho annual report of the Secretary of the Interior was made public Friday. Secretary Hoke Smith reviews with thoroughness tho work of his department. Upon tho subject of pensions tho Secretary calls attention to the great amount saved to the Government by the stoppage of payment of illegal pensions in Norfolk, Va.. New Mexico and Iowa. The Secretary comments on the utter inadequacy of legislation thus far enacted to provide for the legitimate procurement of public timber to supply tho actual necessities of the people dependent upon it to promote settlement and develop the natural resources of tho public lands. The Secretary discusses at length the opening of the Cherokee outlet. Ho says the hardships incurred by applicants was an unavoidable result, when so large a crowd, far in excess of the land to be obtained, was preparing to rush madly upon It. No care of the department could have lessened tho intense heat or prevented tho stifling dust. Tho scarcity of water was duo to an extended drought, which had dried up many of tho usual sources of ‘water supply. The work of the Indian Bureau shows that they are steadily advancing in civilization. It is a mistake, he says, to suppose that their number is rapidly decreasing. On the contrary tribal wars and wars with the whites having ceased, they are increasing, and there are now over 250.000. Much good Is being accomplished by allotments in severalty and the schools. Tho payment or Indian depredation claims is doomed a subject of grave consideration. Under the existing law, tho appropriations Intended for the support of these Indians will bo consumed by the payment of these claims, and a seconil appropriation would he necessary to meet their needs so that the payment of these claims will eventually devolveupon the government. Ills estimated that these claims will absoibmany millions of dollars and tho policy of subjecting the treasury to this strain is questioned. Tho recent troubles In the Choctaw Nation are touched upon at length. The Secretary urges the prompt passage of the bill now pending before Congress, extending the jurisdiction of the United States in the Indian Territory, so as to include the right of removal of all cases, where local prejudice is shown, without regard to citizenship. Referring to the work of the Census Office, the Secretary states: “I now feel all confidence that every effort is being conscientiously made to bring tho census to a close, and to render it as useful as possible when finished.” It is intimated that the appropriations now available will be sufficient to meet the expenses up to tho istof February.but that additional appropriations to the amount of S500.ro,] will be, necessary to continue the work from that time. In closing the report tho Secretary states that, in the estimate of expenditures for the department, a great majority of the proposed improvements were rejected, only those actually necessary for the conduct of public business being adopted. For egg production and flesh Plymouth Rocks and Wyandotts are generally considered the best. THE MARKETS. Doc. 4, 1893, Indlaaapalis, GRAIN AND HAY.

1U£ HIGHEST AWARD. Royal linking Powder Has 'All th« Honors—In Strength and V r aluc Twenty Per Cent. Above Its Nearest Competitor. The Royal Baking Powder has the enviable record of having received the highest award for articles of its class—greatest strength, purest ingredients, most perfectly combined —wherever exhibited in competition with others. In the exhibitions of former years, at the Centennial, at Paris, Vienna and at the various State and Industrial fairs, Where it has been exhibited, judges have invariably awarded the Royal Baking Powder the highest honors. At the recent World’s Fair the examinations for the baking powder awards were directed by the chief chemist of the Agricultural Department at Washington. The chief chemist’s official report of the tests of the baking powders, which was made for the specific purpose of ascertaining which was the best, shows the leavening strength of the Royal to be 160 cubic inches of carbonic gas per ounce of powder. Of the cream of tartar baking powders exhibited, the next highest in strength tested contained but 133 cubic inches of leavening gas. The ether powders gave an average of 111. The Royal, therefore, was found of 20 per cent, greater leavening strength than its nearest competitor, and 44 per cent, above the average of all the other tests. Its superiority in other respects, however, in the quality of the food it makes as to fineness, delicacy and wholesomeness, could not be measured by figures. It is these high qualities, known and appreciated by the women of the country for so many years, that have caused the sales of the Royal Baking Powder, as shown by statistics, to exceed the sale of all other baking powders combined. A Kansas man thinks he can destroy cyclones by exploding them. “Try it and ho blov/cd!” says the cyclone. • How's This?
