this,” she said, with disciplined firmness. “For it is probable—possible —that I may marry Mr. Farfrae some little time hence, and I should like you to stay and approve of the step at least.” “I approve of anything you desire to do, Izzy,” said Henchard, huskily. “B>;t I wish to go away. My presence might make things awkward for Mr. Farfrae, and in short, it is ibest that I go.” Nothing that she could urge would induce him to reconsider his determination; and it must be confessed that there was a leaven of half-hoartedness in her deprecations, which after events explained. “Then,” she said at last, “you will not come to my wedding, and that is not as I should wish it to be.” “I don’t want to see it—I don't want to see it!” he exclaimed; adding more softly. “But think of me sometimes in your future life —you’ll do that, Izzy? Think of me when you are living as the wife of the richest, the foremost man in the town, and don't let my sins cause ye to quite forget that though I loved 'ee fate I loved ’ee well.” She promised; and the same evening at dusk Benchard left the town, to whose development he had been one of the chief stimulants for many years. During the day ho had bought a new tool basket, cleaned up his old hay-knife and wimble, sot himself up in fresh leggins, kneecaps, and corduroys, and in other ways gone back to the working clothes of his young manhood, discarding forever the shabby-genteel suit of cloth and rusty silk hat that since his decline had characterized him in the Casterbridge streets as a man who had seen better days. He went secretly and alone, not a soul of the rflany who had known him being aware of his departure. Elizabeth Jane accompanied him as far as the second bridge on the highway, And parted from him with unfeigned regret—keeping him back a mipute or two, as it she had some'tBfijjg to explain, but finally letting feim'go wiCtiliftt explaining it. She watched his form diminish across the moor, the yellow straw basket at his back moving up and down with each tread, and the creases in his lesfgins coming and going alternately till she could no longer see them. Though she did not know it, Honchard formed at this moment much the same picture as he had presented when entering Casterbridge tor the first time nearly a quarter of a century before; except, to be sure, that the serious addition to his years had considerably lessened the spring of his stride, and imparted to his shoulders, as weighted by the basket, a perceptible bend.

**The Knowmost Dog that Evw Wore Har.” The Virginia (Nev.) Enterprise deicribes him thus; “He came in from Truckee Meadows lately, did : his level-headed dog. He rode in by the side of his master on a load of potatoes. He was not a pretty tiosr, not a dog of blue blood and high degree. He was a tall, gaunt, shaggy - haired, wild-eyed looking brindle beast of unrecorded pedi•le.a. “As the wagon, carrying man, log and potatoes, halted for a time ,n front of a saloon in North C. St., one of a party of half a dozen loungers thereabout made some remark in regard to the appearance of the canine, when thus spake ye hornyhanded, frouzy-headed tiller of the soil: ‘Fellers, that air ain’t a purty dog, I know—he’s like me—makes no pretense to nateral beauty—but he’s just the knowest dog that ever wore har. He’s got more instink, that dog has, an' more satey, an’pen’tration an’ Insight into human natur' just in that ugly old cabeza o’ his nor can be found in the beds of a whole plaza-full of eddicated town dogs — poodles an’ sich. What I pride in him for is his regular human sense; ha’s jist the greatest dog outl Now, ef I coomo home from town perfectly sober (when I’ve left him to see after the ranch), it would jist do your hearts good to see that dog show off whafca sense of appreciation he’s got of me. Fellers, his gorgeous tail then stands aloft; he skyugles about; he runs on afore me a-scrapin’ up the yearth with his hind feet, sendin’ the chips a-flyin’; he holds up his head an' barks in a cheerful an’ manly tone o’ voice, escortin’ me forward an’ feelin’ prouder’n he’d holed a woodchuck! But let mo come home full of tangleleg, sheep-herder’s-de-light and terrantiler-juice,' and that is the shamedest dog yor ever saw. He Jest takes one look at me an’he knows it all. Down goes his tail, he lops his years, hangs his head, squats his back, an’ lookin’ back now an' then, he slinks off an' crawls under the barn —actually ashamed to be seen about the premises for fear that somebody’s find out that I own him. I tell you, fellers, he’s the blamedest dog for right out au’ out human sense that ever was seed in these parts, and Truckee Medders is proud that he war pupped tharl”

The question of seniority of departments yet pending in the National Encampment was discussed and tho Department was urged to seleo* delegates to tho Pittsburg Encampment who would be sure to attend and look after the interests of Indiana. Reference was made to tho report of tho assistant quartermaster general relative to the condition of the department finances.

Thn groat event of thoday was the annual parade. In addition to the groat gathering of Grand Army men and their friends, the surrounding cities contributed largo delegations and the country people for miles around came in. until the streets of tho Star City were thronged as they never had been before. Tho Grand Army was elated with all tho attention shown, and the “old boys” marched their best. The city schools were, dismissed for tho occasion, and two thousand children worn mobilized on tho steps on all four sides of the courthouse to review the parade. Each child was provided with a (lag and lusty lungs for cheering, which they did with great enthusiasm. Tho parade was said to he one of tho largest the State Department over gave. All tho fraternal societies of tho city were out in uniform as on escort and guard to thn veterans, making a very showy appearance. The infantry conpanies of Purdue also took part, and called forth the applause of the veterans for their soldierly hearing. A close contest developed at the business meeting between several cities for tho next Encampment. On the second ballot Mnncio was selected. At night two rousing camp fires were held and numerous receptions were given by hospitable citizens. The Department unanimously indorsed Col. 1. K. Walker for commandor-in-chief of tho National G. A.

Tho troubles of tho past week in thq Pennsylvania coke regions came to a climax, Wednesday. Strikers attacked thq works of tho H. C. Frick Coke Company at Connellsvlllo. Tho deputies on guard tired. Tho strikers pressed on and killed ' Chief Engineer Paddock, boat him and ■ crushed his head with stones. Hearing ol Paddock’s murder hundreds volunteered to avenge his death. The pursuing party, in command of county detective Frank Campbell, overtook thestrikers half amilq from Davidson and opened fire upon them. Tho strikers fired in return, but ran on. Three strikers fell, one being killed instantly, shot through tho body, and two others were fatally wounded. Another ol tho strikers, who got tho start of tho main body, was shot bv a deputy. Ho was also killed instantly, the ball penetrating his neck. A dispatch from Unlontown, Thursday, April 5, says: At 10 o’clock to-day tho dead bodies of eight Hungarians worn found in a woods near Dawson by some boys who were going across the fields to school. The men were found lying in different sections of the woods, and all had bullet holes through their bodies and were more or loss beaten up. Where thoycama from, or by whom they were killed is yet a question, and tho discovery is the sensation of the day in the coke region. It Is supposed they were shot yesterday afternoon by deputies during an attack on tho Broadford works, and crawled out into the woods to die. In the conflict at these worlcs there were volleys of shots fired, and one Hun was killed outright during the attack. The bodies found have been identified as members of this mob. They are still lying in the woods, and tho authorities refuse to care for them. Tho general feeling among the more intelligent strikers is that they cannot win against so much feeling stirred up against them by yesterday’s troubles, together with the nnpropitlous time for a strike. The foreign element, however, are nothing daunted and any further bloodshed will be caused by them. Tho region was quiet last night, so far as rioting was concerned, hut the spread of the day’s work at Davidson caused great excitement. At all the plants where work Is being attempted the strikers are gathered in large numbers. At Mt. Braddock, the famous Hill Farm mines and Rainey’s Moyer works, there are several hundred strikers gathered about waiting for an attempt to operate tho plants. Deputies are at all tho plants armed with Winchesters. VICTORY FOR ORGANIZED LABOR An Important Decision In tho Union Pacific Wage Case. At Omaha, Thursday. Judge Caldwell, of tho United States Circuit Court, handed down a decision In the long ponding Union Pacific wage schedule case. In -which he ruled that tho receivers had no right to reduce the schedules without consultation with the employes. Pair wages must be paid even if tho road does not earn dividends. In tho long legal opinion this declaration of the court stands out most prominently: A corporation is organized capital; it is capital consisting of money ana property. Organized labor is organized capital; it is capital consisting of brains and muscle. What It is lawful for one to do it is lawful for the other to do. It Is lawful for tho stockholders and officers of a corporation to associate and confer together for the purpose of reducing wages of itsemployes, or of division of some other means of making their investments profitable; It is equally lawful for organized labortoassociate, consult and confer fi lth a view to maintain and increase wages. Both act from tho prompting of enlightened selfishness, and the action of noth is lawful when no illegal means are used or threatened.
