'Well, I dono as I do!" And they have Win just six weeks marriod, tbe?o two. PreV.y Sally Mastera and Will Gray wre poor pHople; he was a farmer, and ehe had worked in a factory at Lynn. It waa like a new lite to her to get out into the sweet country, bat she knew nothing at all about farm work and CAredless'ir, was all new to hor, and at first wai very hard. Then she h?.d a q'iick temper and a quick ton gue, and AVill was the only ion of & widow and had always had his own way. Iiis mother was dead when he married Sally, or he coul.i not hare brought a wifa homo to the lonely farm, for it would not sup port three peoplo m yet, though Will worked hard to make it pay; and the year beforo he had received fivo hundred dollars from a railroad company for the right to run their road straight through his front ard. This seemed a fortune to Will, and ho thought very littlo of the road being only a few rods from his door, in comparison with the money which enabled him to buy a wood-lot bordering on his farm and a piece of meadow on the other Bide. But when Sally camo there she complained a good deal of tho noiie the engines made, and ecolded to think tho wacon nevor ccu'd come up to the door; for tha waa afraid to cross the track in it. and the birn lay on tho other side of both road and railway. However a thing that can't be cured mu?t bo endured, so she set herself to the endurance Hut baiter-making and cookine were worse troubles to her, and to-day Will Lad grumbled at the specks in tho butter, and pastel hi3 plate away at' breakfast because the buckwheat cakes were so sour. Sally had been afraid they .7ould freeze in the pantry, so sho set them on the chelf above the ttuve, and they were spoiled. Iiow she wished that she had had a home and a mother to teach her home duties, instead of" bsing an orphan ev.?r since shu could remember and working so many years in a factory. But Will never thought ofthat; he fancied a woman knew housework if she did not anything ehe, and he had to take a long drive to-day and should miss the good breakfast he really needed, and he felt very cross. ' He pushed bis chair back and said 'I can't eat those things!" "Well, you no need tol' snapped Saliy, who was just ready to cry, but who would not show it for the world. "I had ought to have some breakfast to go thirty miles on, and I'm goin over to .Mystic to-day-" t4I hope 'n trust you'll get somcthin' you can eat over there. 1 s'pose 'Phrony knows 'how to make good things." "I bet ha docsl" said Will, emphatically. Now 'Phrony was a pretty ,bright,oapable girl, "Will's own cousin, and he had never thought of mirrjiug her. She was just like his sister, for till very lately Uncle Dan had lived on the next farm, and the children had always played together. Bat Sally had met Sopnrona before and after her own marriage, and in her foolish heart had grown joalous of her beauty and capacity to do all kind of home work. This morning tue mention of Mystic, tb.9 village where Utcle Dan lived now, was the drop too much. Sally's face flamed and her eyes grew dark. "Perhaps you'd better stay to Mystic when you get there, seein things aint to your likin' here!" ehe said, with bitter emphasis. "Mabbo I had, if joa can't learn how to cock vittle hall-way decent," waa Will's spiteful response. 'I'm sure I don't care!" she answered. "Well, L dono as I do," he replied, and walked across to ths barn. Sally wa? eo anry that she flew round the kitchen as if ahe stepp od on air; she was in ono of thoie rages that exalt the body with the pascion of the mind, and make any actioa easy while the inner tempest lasts. It seemed to her as if she heard in her owrwara the boiling of her rage; 6he certainly did not hear out door sound at all; it was accidental that in stepping past the window, ehe taw Will drrro otf down the hard r.ai without so much as looking back to his home. She had not heard the sleigh bills at all. If same oneclsi had been there for her to talk to, probably she would have coolod down sooner; peech is a safety-valve many times to an over-burdened heart. But she was all alone in tho house, and the nearest neighbor lived round a hill out of sight. And as sha flew round putting the dishes away and setting back the table in that bare silent room, its only outlook sheets of dazzling mow, gray woods with hero and there a dull greti cedar, or a round flat cypress on tne bnrren hillside, and one expanse of stainless sunny blue above, her thoughts ran riot. Sue looked back to the time of her marriage, and sc-med herself for naving believed Will ever loved her. Just fur a few hard word? joi ask. Yes, only that. 'Words break no bones," the proverb says, but they break hearts, which U wurtc, nd words mean very much to a woman; though very little to a man. Will, by this time, was whistling along in the old sleigb, not thinking at all of his parting with Sally, but of the feed and flour he must buy in Mystic, the price of cranberries and the probable weight of his pig it wss 10 near killing time. But poor Sally, pitiable as well as blamable, for have a quick, hih temper is worse for it posaesaor than for anybody eLe, ttil! brooded ovr her trouble. Sho blamed Will for bis hateful words, excused herself and pitied herself for her lot. Jy, motherless life and inexperience, and

planned a qreat many t'uinga to eay and do that should show Will she would not be

trodden on and abused weakly and tneesly She flnithed her active work, built up the fire and sat down to her mending; but by this time she hai.eoma to tears she felt so sorry for herself and they dropped so fast sae could not darn. . Just thtn tho morning train thundered by and spun out of sight rcuni a sharp curve. Sae remembered that the must go out to tbe barn and gather the eggs aj she always did about that time sho was so afraid to cross the road unless a train had just pai3ed. .She did cot put on her hood, for the day was 0 bricht and nor head was so hct with angor and crying that the cool air was refreshing but ran across hastily; thero were plenty of eegs to day, but she had nobaekct largo enough to hold them, and to her astonishment she found Will had not fed cither the c w or the pig; and hor abated anger rose to thin K that he had gone off without (ioiLf his brn-work. "That's a littlo toi much," she raidtoberselt 'l aint a'goin' to do hh chores, for him, anywayl I've gotenouga to do in the bou??, and don't suit mister at that. If ho thinks ht'j got a dumb lave to work for him. he s r.nsux.k. 1" here the cow lowed and the pig took Hp his own grunting comulaint. They tai heard her voice and knew that thera was a chance of break!4lt. Sully had a tender, pitiful heart for all her temper. 'Poor critter?, sho said. "I dono as I had ought to bn ugly to them 'came he's ugly to me. I'll run over and letch a banket and get my hood and mittens anyway. I'll letd Vtfl, but I'm bound I won't clean 'cm, so there!" and looking over again with fresh wrath she left the barn and slammed the door behind her. Meantime AVill Trent on his way to Mystic, where ho arrived in due time, did ht3 errands und went to Uncle Du'j, where he fousd a ood and abundant dincer; and s plentiful meal of chicken pot-pi masbd potato, boiled turnipE, new rye bread and baked lni:a-i pilling put him iato excellent Lumor, so that when 'Phrony, who bad bem befoie too Lusy serving and eating to talk, axed, 'Hov.'s Sailr?" ho aid, very honf s:ly "Why, she's well, real we'l; but ehe's get kinder put cut with rce this morning, and I den't blame her a bit, for I begun, tinder faultin' my breakfast, and I guoss I male her mvi; shouldn't wonder." "Why, AVilM" said 'Phrony, with an accont of reproach that said .more than hor Word. . " T would be stratge if sho did knew about housework to once," said mild Aunt G;aj ; "she nevr hai no mother nor no folk's so sho could l-?arn; bo sort o oftlv to hor, A ill; sh's t lonesome little cretur, rith eoVkI v but you to held ca to yo kr.cw." AViil's really kind he art le;an to trout lo hioa; ha woct out Amin int the street ostensibly lo iluish errands, but rially to buy Sr.ily a rose-pink silk tie that would look soprttly in coalr.ut with her rich dark hair ar.U eyej, and perhaps cait a glow on her too p.le, unooth chttk. For Will had r.n inilinct of tasto in hi uncultivated naturo, and knew very well prttiy and rtüccd-lookirg his wife was even beside 'Phrony 'a less dclicato and moie blooming beauty.' So he stepped into iho tic-igh and drove oil, thinking ho v ho would ''make friends" with Sally, and how that dimpla in her cheek would come and go, and her lovely ecs brighten when sho taw the pink tie. Tho road seemed very long, for he knew he bad left borne in a passion, and now he wes sorry. Ho got there at last, just before suri-down, and criving into the barn was received with a chorus from cow and pig. 'Jerus'lem!" he exclaimed. .''I never tod them cittors this morn in gl I did lose my head, that's a fuct. AVell I've got to tend to 'emnow. AVonder Sally iidn'U Mabbe, though, skedidn't come over,or if she did she fetched the egs atid didn't look at nothing else." Very speedily ho fed the hungry beasts and put cut his horse resolving tj go in to supper and finish his barn-work afterwards, for ho was hucgrv. There waa no light in tho hou?e, which looked rather cbecrbs. but then Silly was frugal, sat far int the twilight witnout a lamp, to he went on and opened the kitchendoor. A old chill struck him; the place was empty, e till, firelets; a rat ran across the floor as Le stepped in. Nobody waa there. The l)w light of tho setting sun struck aorof s the enow-thlds with a van glitter into the bare rocm; the fire was out; the stovo cold, ilahind the door into tbe shed hung Sally's hood and 6hawl, 'and her mittens were on the sbelr. fcslly must be in the bedroom, sick no doubt AVith an anxious heart Will opened the door into it. Nobody was thero; the rovm was in lis utuI cheer 1 223 order; tho bed white and smooth a3 the outer drifts; tho white curtained windows shutting out even thht wintry snnshine. Probably Sally had put on her Sunday cloak and bonnet, the same dark-red velvet turbin and jaunty, jot-trioomed sack she had looked so wpll in when they were married. AlnWt B3 if ho were afraid of seeinc a ghost. Will opened the c'oset-door to see; theu tho things hung agiinst the wall, straight and smooth, tack and shawl too, and the toque waa tn the thelf above. Then he oponed the tiny pirlor, with awful misgivings. Tha endiron3 shone in the open firo place; the wax fruit was under its glass shade, between tho glass eatdle-tticfe ua tho fhcif; ar.d tho tig Bible, the photo-graph-al'jum, the copy of "Tupper s Proverbial Philosophy'1 all wedding presents occupied the tmall round tutlo in tho middla of the room, and took a ghastly tint from the green-paper shades and tho wan light of dy irg day. Erorytaing wa as prim, as dull, and as mu?ty as ever. S.tlly was riot there. There wai but one room up stairs, and either fid of it a dark attic; he lit his lantern and searched there but found nothing. Then be took a bee-line for tho nearest neighbor's home, but though the family were full of pity and astoniebment and suggestion, be did not find his wife. "Hev ye s'arched the barn?" queried old Grand-tir Phelps from the chimney-corner. Will had not thought of that; so Royal Phelps went back with him and poo ed into every rook and comer of the bin, mow, harnes-shed and cellar. They f.-und the eggs she had left in the hay, but tbiy did not And Silly. Then the two mm went ovr the house again, peered shuddenngly down into the well, and W'iihtinz ihebuckM with havy stones and lenathiM.irg the rop, let it down till thiy hfard th wood ttriko hard agaimt the rockv bottom from whence bubbled up' that living vprinz. Nobody waa there. You haint tramp! around tho lots any, hev you? 'inquired Poyal Phelps. 'Nowhor only, tow'rds your house," acswrd Will. "Well, then, when mornin' cornea we kin track ber; for it sa wed about an hour here arter breakfast, and there baint ben no pain' oato the road sence, fcr I've been achoppin' 'long side on't tho hull time today; and I took a-bite along eo's not to stop; I wa boun to finish up to-day.'' But would that morning ever como? It

seemed not to Will; ho walked the bouse

while Koyal scored n the rccker, p.nd recalled with despair and distress how h? and Sally had parted in the morning in anger; parted now, it seemel, for the last time. He had not much imagination, but he had enough-to conjecture dreadful things about his wife's fate. Ail alone there in tbe farmhouse what might not have happened? Or, more probably, had she not fled from him forever, afraid of his temper and his tongue? He blessed tho shower of snow that "had fallen in his absence and musV tell tho story of her flight; and he made a few but very earnest resolutions ai to his future conduct towards bei if, iedted, any future found them once more tcgetber. Bat morning came, and on no field or road, not even cn the railway track in cither direction, was thero a foot-print except those of Will's old horse and the two men. Sally's light fett had not traversed that yiflJing mrface; nobody had been there. Then" Will broke down; without food or sleep, oppressed by the awful mystery of his loss, as well as'by the lo63 itself he grew half-crazy, sobbed, raved and tramped tho houso, till Koyal Püelps at last went over to fetch his wife, with the sago remark 'Ha'a pait my handlin" ; I guesa womenf oiks' J know bolter how to fetch him to now."So Mrs. Fhelp3 came over.male some hot coffee and persuaded him to drink it, set thing to rights n little, and prepared to get dinner; but "Will still lay on his face in tho bed-room, as wretched and hopeless as a man coul i be. Suddenly a horse's hoofs beat on the crusted snow up to the back door. AVill jumped up and rushed out, and a man handed him a telegram; ho did not tear, whilo he wai opening it, tho bearer's explanation. It came to Taunton deepott for ye, and tho operator said 'twas real important, an' you'd iv' me a dollar to fetch it." AVill did not answer; Lis brain reeled as he read 'William Gray, Taunton. Your wife is at Seym Station very ill." Can I go back to Taunion with you?" be said to the man handing the telegram to Mrs. Phelps, with a light in his eye that told the relief he w&3 scarcely conscious of as yet. Kookon you kin, for another dollar," and with a nod to the astonuhed Irs. Phelps, AVill was off, and in an hour wa3 teatc-d in the train for Seyms Station. Tho story is strange but true; when bally slammed the barn-door behind her, she puhod her apron over her head, and ran across tho road, safo in the knowledge that the morning express had passed. The light fall of snow dulled the sound of a special frtight-train slowlv rounding the corner just at that moment, and Sally wa strack by the cow-catcher as sho stepped cn the track, and waa thrown violently to ono sid3. Stunned by tho blow, she Uy on the ground unconscious. She did not know that the train had stopped, or that sho was surrounded by a grouo of strange men. Tho engineer and one of the brakemen entered the house and found itdcseited. No other duelling was in 6ight. To leave a woman IjiDg insensible in an empty house was out cf the question, and so at last, after calling in vain for asiiftance, th'jy laid her in the conductor's car to curry her to the nearest station, sqms miles further on. AVhen sho regained her consciousness, it was her turn to feel all those pangs of regret and repentance that AVill sulfercd, and to mak resolves of her own, if ever she returned to live up to them. She could not move or speak when the train stopped, and the men took her from the car supposing she was perhaps fatally injured. She did revive, however, but only long enough to whisper AY ill's name and town in reply to persistent questioning, before delirium set in, and when her husband reached the hospital where they had taken her, she did net know him, and it was weeks instead of days before fhe could go home. In the meantime, AVill sold his fwm to Royal Phelps' brother, and bought another closo by Mj6tic, and two mil os from any railway. He knew that neither ho nor Sally would ever again feel safe at the old place. So far, their first quarrel has been their last; the resolutions have been well kept. Sally can make pet-pie and rye-bread, as well as miny other thing?, quite as skillfully as Cousin 'Phrony, and phe 13 10 happy with her husband and her baby that she sometimes thinks AVill lo6t all his bad temper whtn he found his wifo at Seyms. LITILK FOLK3. Mamma 6aid one day she'd like to know wr a. the sun waa made of, when flve-year-c Id Bertie exclaimed: "I know! It's Tightness and warmness mixed together and made round.'' "AVhero do people go who deceive their fellow-men?" inquired a Sunday-school teacher. Sometimes to Canada, but mostly they goes to Europe," was the reply of a youngster whose uncle had recently been a trusted officer in a local bank. Flossie sat at tho window watching for tho blue birds. Tbey were late in coming, and mamma said, "Baby, where do you tuppose the little blue-birds are this morningV" '0h," said Flcssic, "I dess em's dossing putting on their bluo cc&ts." A maiden lady sail to her littlo nephew: "Now, Johnny, you go to bed early, and always do so, and you'll be rosy-checked and handsomo wben you grow up.' Johnny thought over this a few moments and then observed: ''AVtll aunty, you must have sat up a good deal when yen were young. The subject assigaed by mamma was "Quadrupeds." Ernest retired to the attic, and wrote very patiently until he had finished this, which is not so bad for a fir-t attempt: Quadrupeds are animals. Animals live on grass, fcay,Joats, bran, and water. A quadruped is anything that has four legs." A bevy of little children were telling their father what they got at school. The eldest, "Reading, spelling and definitions." 'And what do you get, my little one?" said the father to a rosy-cheeked little fellow, who wa3 at that time slyly driving a tenpenny nail into the door panel. "Me? Oh, I gets real in', spellin' and spankin's." In a certain Sunday-school in tho backwoods of Pennsylvania the lesson for the day was that describing the passage of tbe Israelites through the'Ked Sea. The Su perin tender) t, aa is usual, began asking questions if lating to it, and, among others, propounded the following: ''What happened to the Eyp'.iani whan th'-y attempted to follow the Israelites into the lt?i Sea?" Thtre wa3 a snort pause, when a little fellow of five or six summers triumphantly exclaimed, "They stuck in the mud I" A little boy, ased eight years, was crcatly annoyed by the destruction wrought upon bis toys by his two-year old brother. The other ni'ht he a-ked his father how to spell the word 'dangerouf,'' and tho next morning bis mother was startled at the warning "dangerous" printed in big bUrk If ttera acro'5 the top of ' the box. ''Why Tommy," said the, ''why have you spoiled your nice new present?" "I ain't, ma. Jamie spoils all my thinsrs, and I put that on to scare him, so he'll leave my box alone."

J Gautier, a French writer, mentions a ca?e, a rare one, in which pussy was so taken aback as to lose her presence cf mind and self-rcliahce. The cat was accustomed to live in perfect ifitimacy with the writer, sleeping at hi j feet on his bed; dreaming on the arm of his cay-chair while he was writing; following him in his garden a3 he walked up and down the long avenues; hooping him company at meals and, aa he adds net unfroquently intercepting the morsel on the road between the plate and the lips. One line day, a friend setting out on his travels, left his parrot in his charge during his absence. The poor bird sat disconsolate on tho top of his stand, while the cat stared at the strange sight, and tried to gather up all tho strays and waifs of natural hutcry which she might have picked up on the roof, or in the yard and the garden. Tho writer followed her thoughts in her large green eyes, and read ttero clearly th'i words, "It must be a green chickanl" Thereupon, pussy jumped down from his writing-table, and assumed, in a dark corner, the air of a panther in tho jungle, lying in wait for a delicate deer; cronching flat down, tho head low, tho back stretched cut at full length, the elbows out and tho eyes fixed immovably on the bird. The poor parrot had followed all her movements with nervous anxiety; ho raised his feathers, sharpened his bill, strolcht a out his claws and evidently prepared for war. The cit lay 6Ü11, but the writer read Bgain in her eyes, "No doubt, though green, thethicken mu?t bo good to eat." Suddenly her back wrs arched like a bow that is drawn, and with one superb bound, sho was on the perch. The parrot, seeing the great danger, lifted up his sharp, eager voio. and screamed out, "Have you breakfasted, Jack? ' The voice frightened pu?sy out of her wits. A trumpet sounded in her ears, a pilo of crockery breaking near her, a pistol fired close to her head, could not have frightened her mora terribly. All her ideas were overthrown. Iler eyes said clearly, "Thij is not a chicken; thi3 is a gentleman." Tho cat cast an anxious glance at her master, leaped down in sheer terror and hid under the bed, from whence ro threat and no caress could bring hor out fur the day. A It-ar'i C innlrtjj. A writer tells the following anecJ. tes to illustrate a bear's cunning and ene of humor: i once had an English friend visiting me, who played the flute, lie was in the habit of marching up and down, while playing, near a tame bear I had ai the tim.. The bear had a piece of stick about two iVtt long, which he U.'sod about for amusement. After a time, he came to handle the stick very much aa my friend did his flute This annoyed my sesitive friend, and in revenge he teamed tne btar with uncouth noises. Bruin sniffed and whined, and waited his opportunity for delivering a tremendous blow with Lis paw at his enemy, whose tall bat was knocked completely over his eyes, lie escaped being Ecalped by dropping flat and rolling out of reach of the bear. This be ar Fpcnt much of his time in the tree to which he wa3 chained, and when Climbing usually got his chain twisted over and under the branches in a most intricate manner, but never failed to take out every turn a3 ho descended. A friend who owned a tame bear told me that ho could not account for the mysterious way in which the poultry disappeared. Observing at different times, a good many feathers around bruin's pole, he began to suspect that the bear was tho culprit. Close watching confirmed his suspicions. When bruin thought he was unobserved, he would Eeize any unfurtunate hen or chicken within his reach and devour it; but if any one approached before he could complete the meal, he would lie upon his prey until the danger of discovery had passed. lie was bot ray ei, at latt, by the cackling of an old hen, that he radiated to silence.

Lord Byron, in reference to a beautiful lady, wrota to a friond Lady has been dangerously ill, but now sho is dangerously well egüin."

It seems that even in Kentucky a man occasionally gets away. - The clergymen in Philadelphia supply the prisoners in jail with manuscript sermons to read during their leisure hours. "The way of the transgressor is hard," very hard. An Illinois woman married another fellow Cvominutes after securing a divorce. When a woman can swap husbands quicker than she can put up her hair, sho must be uncommonly smart. Now that ladies' bonnets are made of glass, such remarks aa these will fall on oar ears: ' Oeorge, dear, I think you might get me a cut glass bonnet like Mrs. Sprott'a instead of making me wear this horrid thing made of common lager. beer glass. "Is woman physically inferior to man?'' asks Scroti. Mr. Ilerman IS tern au rather inclines to think it is a draw game. Once in a while one cornea across a woman who is able to lift a whiiky barrel with her teeth but th-n sho is matched by the man who lilts the contenta of the whisky barrel between his teeth. It is not every one who has throe good reasons for not doing what ho declares to bo wrong When a gentleman was asked to take a glass of punch re quietly replied: "Excuse mo. but I -must decline, because my mother-in-law has j-ist died and I am in mourning." On boinr, urged still further, he said, "No, I really can't do it, you know, because I am President of a toetotal society." After a little iL ) invitation was given a third time, and then tbe reply was, "I can't possibly do it, becs-aso I have already

drunk so much that I can hardly find my way home." The sa-i moral of alt thia is that a man has to try three times before he can loll the truth. A lady who evidently enjoys fun, writes: "A company of uswere rtading Fool's Krrand' the other night. On reaching the plv2e where Lily puts whiaky on the horrc's nostals, lo prevent him from whinneylcg and o betrajicg ler presence, one of the listeners broke in ith: Not the first bruto that couldn't tay neigh to whisky either."'

ÜILLY MAIIOXE, 1 he Virginia Senator Denounced its a Scoundrel, au Infidel and Professional Uuiiibier. A Wytheville (Va.) special of the 2d says: The first note in the red-hot warfare about to be benu iu this Mate between the opponeuts of boss rule aud William Mahoue was touudel by State Senator Newberry hero to-day. Newberry Is the leader of what is known as the big four In the Viigi-.ila Senate, and it was through their til'jiu tbat Mahone was defeated in the carrying out of his corrupt ehernes. As Newberry is a coiupicuous member of the Readj uster party, his spetch is significant. Iiis arrapnmeut of Mahoue was one of the most savage onslaughts ever made on a political leader, lie declared that Mahoue was the most ungrateful. Imperious, dictator lrf. and corrupt politician he had ever known. He compared him to Aaron Burr, Benedict Arnold, ai d Judas Iscariot. and satd that bad be lived in the day a of Judas Iscariot fce would have sold h!s Savior for twenty pieces of silver instead of thirty, the price obtained by Judas, lie declared that when Mahone had control of a SJeat railroad corporation he perpetrated a swindle amountli'R to Jö.OOi.Ooo.aud thvt for bis part he would not exchange his Rood name for all of Mahoue's ill-gotten gains. He denounced Mahone as a scoundrel, a notorious infidel, and a Rambler by profession and inheritance, and Kdid tbat when be went to Richmond he did i.ot put up at a hotel, like a gentleman, but made bis headquarters at a regular gambling den. Was it not a aiigrace to moflern civilization and t3 ibis Christi -iu Commcn wealth, he said, to hare auch a character undertaking to play the role of boss? He regretted that Mahone waa not present. He would rather meet him in discustiou face to face aud tell him what he thought of him than to meet any other man In tbe State. He took occasion to announce tbat he would Boeak at Giles and Imlaski Courts, and he challenged the boss or any of his lickspittles to meet him at these appoiatxenu in debate. He intended to make it bot for Mahone. He referred to the junior Senator aa "drunken Kiddieberger," to Dave Bailey as "tbe Blooobouudof tbe Southwest, wtu was engaged la houndirgdown honest men because tbey would not wt-ar the collar of Mahone," to Frazter of Kocktaide as "dirty Jim Kra7Jer,"aod Tom Cross of Nante mond. he said, was "another of the boss's din y dogs." He threw down tbe gauntlet to the whoie paca, darin any of them to knock tho chip otT bis hat or tread on hi i coat tall. New ber rv and Newberry's friends dare Mahone to meet 'Newberry on the stump. Mahone, it is understood, will put forward Captain John 8. Wise to do bis talking for him, A Washington special saya: Tbe other day Senator Mahone wrote to a Lyuchbun? friend a letter explaining his vote ou tue Dr. Tibhfl bill recently before the Senate. A motion to refer the bill to the JudL lary Committee was carried by oue majority, Mahone voting in tbe affirmative, and therebr preventing Tibbs, who was in bis teens during the War, from entering the military service of the United States. Mahone's vote has Riven oflense to some of his former followers in Virginia, acd he Is roaadly btrated for hi action. An examination of tbe oiliclal record of the Senate. shoTS tbat bis attempted txplanation contains at leet three pal -pHble and mex uab!e misrepresentations of far? a ollu-Uliy recorded. For instance, Manone iu his published letter aays: "I via. not in the initiate at any time during the proceedings of the s vcilied Tibbs o5e nntil the morning when the resolu'iaa proposing to refer tbe bill and all thy amendments which had beeu offered to the Judiciary (Jommittee was called in regular order." The motioa to refer the bill to the Judiciary Committee wn called up and carried on May 4. aud yet the olliciel record of April ta shows thut Garland's moiion to take up the bill was carried by a vote of ?8 to 2i, four Eepublicans, lngalls, I'lumb Se well and Cameron of Wisconsin, votiiig fn the alHrmatlTC, and Mason voting in the negative. - ' i The letter of the Real j uster bos ia for him a very unfortunate production. His vote on the Tibbs matter will cot do him as much harm among his followers aa will the deliberate aud unblushing misrepresentations and falsi ficatl dh of the official record contained In his attempted explanation. at: Clerk of Supreme Court.
