TOM'S WIFE, IY K. TEMPLE MOOr.E. "A city girl' No wife for a straggling yoang man," sighed rieb, eccentric Aunt Sarah, sorrowfully. "Brought up with the expectation of becoming aa heiress, too. Her extravagant habits will ruin the boy!" said Mrs. Pry severely. "An J a beauty!'' eneered Mrs. Craniett, with withering contempt. So the gossips down, in Tom Lysander'a native village put their heads together and sodded grimly and forebodingly when they heard he had married Lila Ware. The daughter of hia employer, he had loved her long and almost hopelessly. One day through the city spread the news like wild-fire that "Ware it Co. had failed. He Trent straightway to the house, where he had ever been a welcome guest. He found the laughing girl whom he had knwn graver reriiaps a little haughtier than of old; , cia:i .shorn the first breath of misfortune had cot blasted to despondency or languor, but rather had strengthened and invigorted he listened, silently, while he told her the etory which had lain so long in hia haart unsaid. And when he had spoken, she gave him frankly the love which till then womanly pride had veiled. He brought her to a home which, though bright and cozy, held none of the luxury of that whi h she hud known ; bat she made it home in fact as well as in word the dearest spot in the world to Tom Lysander. One evening Lila Lysander cane up to where her husband sat wearily thinking. Through, the open windows came the breeze laden with promises of the samuier. Below, boys were crying blue violets on the city streets. "Tom, dear, what is it?" He started at the sound of the tender voi.'e, and put hia arms around her as ate stood beside nim. "Can you bear bad news, pet?" "I can share it, Tom:" He laughed at the brave, womanly answer. "The gun of bad Iuck was doubie barrelled to-day, dear. Our salaries were reduced onetbird on account of a partial failure of th lirra, and I had a letter from Aunt Sarah" "0. Tom! What does she say?" "That she is making arrangements with her lawyer to discontinue the allowance I have had ever since I was a boy; also, ti eradicate my name from her will. There!" "And ail this on my account?" wistfully. "Ah! that's where the joy comes in, my darling. I have you the rest is nothing!" 'la she z:ot cruel, Tom?" "Far from it. She is peculiar, wbirasical. easily p-ajudiced. übe U3ed to lo7e me dearly; and if her blessed old eyes caaght but one glimpse oi my bonnie bride coaie for a walk, dear." "Work! for yon, Mrs. Lysander? You turely don't mean it. Why, my dear child, you don't know the meaning of the word." I.ila Lysander, standing before her father's eld lawyer, a slim, childish figure, looked up at him with resolute eyes. "Hot I do mean it, Mr. Mitchell. Rome position which will permit me to be at home in the evening before Tom returns. He is working nights now, to make up for the de-crea-e in his salary. It is terrible to think he should toil so hard while 1 am comparatively idle. . Yoa will help me, Mr. Mitchell you must!" "Com" to think of it, I do know a place tbat would suit you. She's a client of my o tike-mate, Uilhouse, boarding at the Revere rich, bless you, rich! She wants a young girl to stay with her part of the day, while she's in the city companion, guide, that sort of thing, you know. No one would ever take you to ba married, MiS3 Lila. Therel I'm dropping into the old name re y self. Craig your second name Lilian Craig. Capital! A harmless deception. Sit right down here while I go and seellilhouse.

That wasn't much to you once, Miss Lila. Not much, was it? a -3 a The.e were two $10 bills on the top pantry shelf. But Tom didn't know it. Til wait till it grows a little," Mrs. Lila said gleefully to herself, "and then I'll give him a surprise party." One day, in her luxurious room at the Revere, Mrs. l'ercival lay ill with a feverish Leadache. Her companion went softly around the room, dropping the curtains and stepping the clocks, let the ticking of these latter should disturb the invalid. When she came back to the couch she found two dim old eyes fastened on her in kindly scrutiny. "Miss Craig, how long have yoa been with me?" "Two weeks." "lo you know I have grown very fon J of yon in those two weeks, little girl?" A thin hand was laid caressingly on Lilas. "What a heavy gold ring you wear like a weeding ring! I wish it was. I wish " She grew dreadfully silent. The äfernoon slipped away. The shadows fathered. The room was darkened, the clock stoobed, and Lila did not perceive how lat it was growing. "Does your head ache now?" "No, but my heart does, Lillian," She sat suddenly erect and cast the rich wraps aside from her stately old figure. " I am rich and jou are poor. We are lefh W ely. Yoa have crept into my heart sady against my will, I must confess, lor T had grown very bitter and cynical of late. f ton come to me, yoa shall be as my dachter" "Ob, no, no! Fortrive me! I can not! What what sound is that? A bell? Hark!" That?' nrDrisedly. "That is only the Angelus from the French Catholic Church." "The Angelus!" She sprang to her feet in alarm. "Then it is G o'clock. I have oatetaved my time. I must go!" She lighted the gas, and hurriedly found her wraps. "Why, my Cinderella! What a panic? Leave me your glass slipper Come in!" The door was hung wide and a man rushed into the room. "My darling, how you have frightened roe!" he said, crossing to where Lila stood. "I got home early to-night and forced Ellen to tell me where yoa Annt Sarah!" He wheeled around and clasped the old lady in hia arms in aa impetuous boyish fashion. "Well, this is a surprise. How did yoa and Lila" "Yoa know Miss Craig?" "Miss Craig!" mystifiedly. Lila came quickly forward. "I did not know she was your aunt, Tom. I have never heard you speak of Mrs. Ter cival by any other name save Aunt Sarah." "Miss Craig, you can not be" "1 am Tom'i wife," simply. "You Tom's wife?' "I am," with quiet pride.

And love has taught me the sweetness of work' A sudden recollection of his aunt's injustice to his wife came to Tom Lysander. "Come, dear, we must be going. Aunt, pardon this intrusion. Good-night!" But Mrs. Fercival sprang up. "No!" she cried, impulsively; "you will shake hands and forgive an old woman, my children ! Bless mv soul. Tom's wife!" And she bant and kissed her. Illustrated World.

"otcs from the Capital of the Nation. Fortraits of Professor Abbe, of the Signal Service; lion. William Copplnger, Codsol General for Liberia, ami Mr. Carl Steen Andersen De Hille, of Denmark. WAsmxGTOS, Sept. 25. One of the most notable events of the entire year in Washington will be the meeting of the "Meridian Congress," which is to hold its first session on October 1, at the State Department. It is to be composed of a large number of scientific men from all parts of the country, the majority of the meetings of this nature heretofore having been held in Europe. The object, as has already been explained, is to fix upon a common meridian for the reckoning of longitude by all the scientific people ol tbe world. As is pretty well understood, there is now no common meridian . The Department of the Interior of this country reckons from the meridian of Washington in making its maps, yet the Naval Observatory, and, indeed, most of the scientists of the country, in their observations and the notes of the results, use the standard of Greenwich. In most of the other countries MR. EC EILLII. i iere is a like confusion from the lack of a noiform standard. "There has been a long felt want in this line," said Professor Cleveland Abbe, . of the Signal Odire, who is to be a member of thia congress, to your correspondent, "oue tbat has been universally felt among scientific men of all countries. There has been a good deal written and said, first and last, npon the subject, and the agitation of years has finally produced this result. Of course there is no result yet, but it Is pretty evident there will be, for everybody feels the need of it, and there is therefore nothing to be done, now that the need is felt and the conference authorized by tbe Government, except to agree upon the meridian." "And will there be any particular dillicnlty in that, do yoa taink?" "No, 1 think not." "No special effort on the part of any one ration to fix the locality in its own borders for its ppecial glorification ?" "Xo, I think not. I should hope that would not be the case, and I da not think it will. If any such feeling should be exhibited it could be easily obviated by fixing the meridian where no nation would especially claim advantage er disadvantage by it3 location by locating it in the ocean; but I do not look for any trouble on that score." "Is there any probability that it may be fixed in this country?" "I should think it probable that it would not be, though of course that can not be foretold." Wherever the honor of having concieved the idea of this universal meridi.ia may have originated and some are inclined to claim it for the United States the honor of the first movement in its behalf may properly be claimed by the United States. By an act of Congress, passed August 3, 18S2, four days before the final adjournment of the T ROTESSOS A F EE. first pession of the Forty-seventh Congress, the President was authorized to invite all nations having diplomatic relations with this country to send delegates to such a conference. A circular was sent to all the governments having such relations, and favorable replies were had from nearly all, and tbe President then fixed the date and issued formal invitations to such conference. The circular calling attention of the nations to the net of Congress briefly mentioned some reasons for calling tue congress. "In the absence of a common and accepted standard for other than astronomical purposes, embarrassments are experienced in the ordinary aCairs of modern commerce. This embarrassment is especially felt since the extension cf telegraphic and railway communications has joined States and continents passesain independent and widely separated meridianal standards of time. The subject of a common meridian, for several years past discussed in this country and in Europe by commercral and scientific bodies, and the need of a general agreement upon a single standard recognized, in recent European conferences especially favor was shown to the suggestion that, as the United States possesses the greatest longitudinal extension of any country traversed by railway and telegraph lines, the initiatory measures for holding an international convention to consider so important a subject should be taken by this Government. The opinion is expressed here that the congress will probably accept the meridian of Greenwich as the general one, though that, of course, will be a matter for general discussion. There are other matters of quite as great importance to be brought before the congress. The most mportant of these is that of a correct standard of time, which of course Is so closely allied to that of tbe meridian that the discussion of the one would naturally lead to the other. While the law doe3 not authorize action on any other subject than that of a common standard of longitude, it is believed that others will be at least discussed, and particularly the one mentioned above. It is expected that same reports upon the workings of the

'''''' I

zceridien system, introduced by the railroads of this country, will be presented, and these with other data made a basis for a discussion, at least of the establishment of a general time meridian system all over the

world in the eaine general plan indicated by the railway pystem already adopted here. "I do not really expect to see this adopted at this conference, however," said Captain Sampson of the Naval Observatory to vour correspondent. "It would be more thaD conld be expected at one step." "But you look for that to follow the movement to be inaugurated next week on the common meridian?" "Yes, I see no reason why it may not follow. It would, it is generally believed, be practicable and advantageous ia many ways." The Coneress is, it Is understood, to be composed of about forty delegates, from the principal nations of the world. They are, so far as vet named, as follows: United States Professor F. A. P. Barnard, Chairman; Commander Wm. T. Sampson, Professor Cleveland Abbe, L. M. Rutherford. W. F. Allen.

f. r, i ..-ry- r . IHK DISCOVERER OP GOLD IN CALL FOIIMA. JAMES WILSON MARSHALL, WHO Fir.ST FOUND torn IX CALIFORNIA, ASD 18 SOW A POOR MAN, LIVING NEAR THE fCENE OF HIS GREAT DISCOVERY. To James Wilson Marshall the world Is indebted for a discovery which started the astonishing prosperity of California, and made an epoch in modern history. His name will live in history, and his poverty is a reproach which the citizens of the great and nourishing State in which he resides ought promptly to remove. The foundation of California's wealth was laid by his intelligence and sagacity. In less than three years after the time at which he discovered gold, what had been previously to his finding the precious metal a wilderness country, was received into the sisterhood of the States. Sacramento has been commemorating the "admission day" of 1S50 with pomp and enthusiasm, and tbe presence of the Governor and other prominet persons. What was said on that occasion, of the value of Marshall's discovery, and the honor given his name, will, we trust, be supplemented by the substantial recognition of the clpini3 oi a public benefactor, now in old age and poverty after a worthy life, not only to freedom from anxiety but to plenty. The above well-executed portrait 13 a striking likeness of Mr. Marshall. It was made irom a crayon picture of which the proprietors of the Sacramento Bee own the copyright, and for the use of which we are indebted to their kindness. James Wilson Marshall was born in Hope Township, New Jersey, in 1312. After receiving a plain education he learned the trade of a coach and wagon builder. He was smitten with the "Western fever" when about twenty-one years old, and having traveled in Indiana and Illinois, bought a farm on the I'latte Purchase, near Fort Leavenworth, Kas. His health was poor throughout the period of his residence at that place, and when his doctor said he must either die cr seek a eheste of air, he packed up and left. It was on tue 1st of May, 1844, when he joined a train of 100 wagons bound for that, at the time, almost unknown land, California. Tbe party reached its destination in Jnne, 1615. and camped at Cache Creek, about forty miles from where Sacramento now stands. From that point its members took their several ways. Marshall and a few others went to Sutter's Fort, Sacramento County, where he entered the service of General Sutter. About a year after this, and after Marshall had begun life in the stock business on a farm of two leagues in area, the Mexicans made an attempt to prevent a body of American emigrants from entering California. This led to the Bear Flag war, in which General Sutter, Marshall and others assisted as volunteers General Fremont, of the United States Military Post at Sutter Battes, in the defense of theircountrymen. Fighting was frequent and severe. Marshall took part in all the engagements of the campaign, which resulted in a treaty, signed March, 1S47, recognizing the independence of California. Marshall then procured his discharge and returned to Sutter's Fort. Upon his arrival he found that most oi the cattle he had left on his farm had been stolen or strayed during his absence. He therefore gave up his farm, and began arrangements to Etart in the lumber business at Coloma, Amador County, as active partner with General Sutter, who undertook to furnish the necessary capital. Work was begun on the mill in August, 1S47. On the ISth of January following Marshall was superintending the building of the mill race. After shutting off the water at tbe head of tbe race he walked down the ditch to see what sand and gravel had been removed during the previous night. He strolled to the lower end of the race and stood looking down at the mass of bebris. At this juncture his eye caught the glitter of something that lay lodged in a crevice on a riif'e of soft granite. He etooped and picked up the substance. It was heavy, of a peculiar color, and different from anything he had seen in the stream before. He reflected as to what kind of mineral the specimen could be, and finally concluded that it was either mica, sulphurets of copper or gold. It was too heavy for mica, was not brittle, as are sulphurets, and, rememmembering that gold is malleable, he placed the nugget on a flat stone and began striking it with another. The substance did not crack or flake oif, but simply flattened under the blows, and Marshall was satisfied that he had indeed made an important discovery. In several days he collected a few ounces of the precious metal and, as he bad occasion to visit Sutter's For, in a short time, he took the specimens with him. He informed Sutter of his discovery, but the General was incredulous, and it was not until chemical experiments had settled tbe question beyond all doubt that he would admit the mineral was gold. At last all doubts faded, and the excitement began to spread. The news flew over tbe country like wildfire, and those whites who were then in California went into the quest for gold with great ardor and energy. Additional revelations were made daily, and the news of the discoveries was spread. Then came the mad rush from the East and the Old World. It was a furious race for wealth. In 1819 every sailing vessel and steamer lauding at San Francisco was crowded with adventurers. Thew knew that gold had first been found at Coloma, and many went thither. Without inquiry or negotiation they squatted upon Marshall's land about the mill, seized his work oxen for food, confiscated His horses, and marked the land otf into town lots and distributed them among themselves. Thus robbed of his property he perforce became a prospector, but never succeeded in finding much gold. The neighbors who had .polled his possessions added insult to injury by presuming that he knew the whereabouts of rich deposits of gold and refused to give information to them, and persecuted him on these false suppositions. To add to his troubles, his title to the land he had purchased prior to his great discovery, was questioned, and he lost it all. Poor Marshall still lives at Coloma, The State has helped him a little, but only a little, in his hard fight against poverty, all the more severe by reason of advanced age. CHICAGO COEN CORNERED.

chief interest has centered in the corn pit. For months experienced traders, in view of the fast decreasing stocks, have declared that only small capital would be required to cover the market, and that a deal was to be expected in the last options of the crop year. This prediction was repeated so often that it became an old story, and the crowd who at first were easily frightened and eagerly covered on the slightest provocation grew bolder, aud. encouraged by a few big traders, sold freely. Then the manipulators put on the screws, and prices which had before crept along suddenly soared with a rush, registering the extraordinary advance of ten cents in one day and touching eighty cents for the present month's options. From this point, although there was still a large short interest out, and tbe clique unquestionably had complete control of the deal, values were allowed to ease off for the purpose knowing ones had it of more easily taking care of the nearly quarter million bushels of cash corn which arrived daily from the country and surrounding markets. It was also said that there were more contracts out for October than September delivery, and thai in that month, after farmers' bins had been swept clean at present prices, the real Squeeze WOUld be inaugurated. The regularity with which, each morning, little McHenry made his appearance in the cash crowd and smilingly entered on the buying side of his trading card all the grain which receivers bad to sell seemed to denote something of that sort was in the wind. Values, however, wentrdown steadily, and a few venturesome traders concluded it was a good time to go short, oa the theory that the deal was at an end, the cash stuff left in the hands bf the manipulators and they liable to dump it at any moment. Seventy cents was touched, but that was the bottom. Under active bidding by clique brokers quotations went up much faster than they came down, and now some big bears are wishing they had settled when they had a chance. Weare is known to be heavily long on corn, but it is thought only as a tailer, and there has been no end of guessing as to who the real backer cf ti.e corner is. At first when only a bulge of 3 to 4c were expected "Old Hutch" and W. T. Baker was talked of as the men who were woriing the thing. After the size of the deal became more apparent the crowd concluded bigger men were under the market, and suddenly everybody was certain Phil Armour and Sid Kent had joined forces and were the parties responsible. A boom of nearly 30c In eight days, however, was more than the boys could give even Armour credit for and; Simmons, of Kenosha, the great telegraph man, was declared the engineer of the squeeze. Now as 150,000 or so is seen paid out each morning to, take care of the arriving cash stuff gossips shake their heads and whisper, Simmons is only acting as an agent for Jay Gould. Some stories have been circulated by shorts to the efi'ect tbat certain railroad otlicials were interested in the corn market and assisting tbe manipulators by delaying the arrival of shipments until after delivery day, but this is probaply only talk. It is wonderful what good causes of complaint a ni&n who is on the wrong side of tbe market always finds. Besides, if, as everybody supposes, the corner is to extend into October, the cliques will have to take all the grain in the end anyhow. Wheat has been pretty active, but ha9 shown no sympathy with corn. During tbe early days when the latter was soaring, wheat eased o2f oa big receipts and free unloading by longs. Later, when corn weakened, wheat firmed up on better foreign advice3, the purchase of 200,0ü0 bushels for export, and the idea that the extraordinarily high prices commanded by corn would induce farmers to give all their attention to getting it to market, thus reducing the volume of wheat shipments. Now traders are living in hopes that when the corn excitement shall have passed and that market sinks into neglect, as is always the case after a deal, tbe speculative tide will be turned into the wheat pit. Tork is siumpv, and day by day has continued to settle back until traders predict it is slowly getting down to its proper range. Ribs are still firmly held, and far above their relative value, but it is said the market is heavily oversold, and the figures will be kept up until contracts are settled. Lard is cheap. "So cheap," a broker remarked this morning, "as to make it unprofitable to manufacture cr adulterate it."-

Dr. Hi nter McGuire, medical director on Stonewall Jackson's staff, says the General had, as if by miracle, escaped wounds until at Chancellorsville, when it seemed his guardian angel deserted him, for he was struck by three bullets in quick succession. Tne first went through the right hand, lodging under the skin. The next entered the left forearm just below the elbow and came out near the wrist, completely shattering both bones. This was followed by an ounce ball crashing through the left arm near the shoulder, severing an important artery. To add to the catastrophe his horse took fright and dashed madly through the timber before he could get the reins gathered up in his left hand. 35 Tbe worst pile tumors cured in ten days, rupture in one month.
