The only way of getting a single pleasant thought to go to sleep upon after this was by recalling the lady she had seen that day, and hoping she might see her again. Meanwhile Henchard was sitting up, thinking over his jealous folly in forbidding Farfrae to pay his addresses to this girl, when if he allowed them to go on he might not have been encumbered with her now. At last he said to himself with some satisfaction as he jumped up and went to the writing table: “Ay—he’ll think it means peace, and a marriage portion—not’ that I don’t want my house to be troubled with her, and no portion at all.” He wrote as follows: “Sm, —On consideration 1 don’t wish to interfere with your courtship of Elizabeth Jane, if you particularly care for her. I therefore withdraw my objection excepting in this—that the business be not carried on in my house. Yours, M. Henchard. “Mr. Farfrae.” The morrow being fairlv fine,found Elizabeth Jane again in the churchyard; but while looking for the lady she was startled by the apparition of Farfrae, who passed outside the gate. He, glanced up for a moment from a poclcet-book in which he appeared to be making figures as he went; whether or not he saw her he took no notice, and disappeared. Unduly sensitive to her disgraces she thought he probably scorned her.; and quite broken in spirit sat down on a bench. She fell into painful thought on her position, which ended with her saying quite loud, “Why should I be called low, when my lowness is of other people’s making? Oh, I wish I was dead with dear mother!” Behind the bench was a little promenade under the wall where people sometimes walked instead of i.n the gravel. The bench seemed to be touched by something; she looked round and a face was bending over her, veiled but still distinct —the face of the young woman she had seen yesterday. Eli :abeth Jane looked confounded for a moment, knowing she had been overheard, though there was pleasure in her confusion. “Yes, I heard you,” said the lady, in a vivacious voice, answering her look. “What can have happened?” “I don’t—I can’t tell you,” said Elizabeth Jane, putting her hand to her face to hide a quick flush that had come. There was no movement or word for a few seconds; then the girl felt that the lady was sitting down beside her. (to be continued.) MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. Beards were once taxed.

A REALWAR. Soldiers Actually Killed in Honduras. Two Citlcn Captured by Nicaraguan Invaders—A Real Revolution. The New York Herald's special dispqtch from Managua, Nicaragua, dan. 3, says: The war between Nicaragua and Honduras has begun in good earnest. Already Policadpo Bonilla, leader of the Honduran insurgents, has invaded Honduras from Nicaraguan soil, has captured the towns of Corpus and Yuscaran, has set up a provisional government in the former place and President Zalaya of Nicaragua has recognized his authority. Bonilla's insurgent forces, aided by a body of Nicaraguans, captured Yuscatan only this afternoon and immediately President Zelaya issued a decree formally recognizing the provisional government of the victorious General. This provisional government had been set up in the town of Corpus on Dec. 30, the day on which that place was captured by Bonilla after a five hours’ siege. President Vasquez’s losses in that engagement were twenty-three killed and five wounded. The invaders had two killed and several injured. Bonilla’s men are now surrounding Choluteca and shutting off communication with the interior. They made a desperate attempt to take Cuartcl, which was successfully defended by Gen. Villola. Gen. Rosas was killed in the engagement. The besieging array lias not given np hopes and will trv it again. They are camped around and they are endeavoring to starve out Vasquez’s troops. President Vasqucz’s haughty challenge to Nicaraguain his decree of Oct. 30 was aocapW by the Nicaraguan array and they di cided to invade his territory and help Bonilla and his Honduran rebels. Three thousand Nicaraguan soldiers, commanded by (ten. Ortez, occupied San Luis and Cincopiuo on Dec. 34 awaiting Vasquez’s t breath nod invasion of Nicaraguan soil. Vasquez had reinforced his command by local trooops from Choluteca and from Corpus, and a battle near Cholnteea seemed Imminent. The invaders are now trying to gain possesion of Amapala and in the meantime Nicaragua is recruiting more troops to send to the frontier.

WITH A PRETY PROTO lie Worked a Buiifllnx Association for a Bargo Loan. The investigation into the affairs of the National building and loan association at Chicago, ordered some time ago, developed the fact that $75,030 has been loaned on almost worthless security. Wm. Smith, of Kansas City, and O. C. Knealo, of Chicago, are charged with the fraud. Jan. 1, 1893, Smith represented to the society that h ■ owned sixty-one blocks of improved property at St. Croix,' Wis., worth flOD.t0>, upon which hodosireda loan of $75,000. lie allowed the officers of the society a number of photographs which seemingly Iroprcsentocl a thriving hamlet, with stores, mills, churches, elevators and homes. Smith was backed up by certain officers of the' society and secured the money without an examination being made of the pronertv. When State Inspect! r William Fries-begapto investigate the society’s affairs ho,went to - Wisconsin to find St. Croix. He, found its site. It had been destroyed by fire last August. Originally the population consisted of twenty-three adults and twenty-two children. The photographs were likenesses of a mill, elevator, store, etc., up the river a short distance. Other transactions of a like character, smaller in proportions, were found. The inspector, however, reports that the society is not insolvent. State Auditor Geroe .will at once bring proceedings against Smith and Kneale to recover the money fraudulently obtained on the Wisconsin property. MONEY OF ALL NATIONS.
