Hiram Couldock might have looked some what strange to a civilized Eastern eye 83 he made bia first appearance in the small, picturesque Maine town hi3 father had left eight and twenty yearj before, when Hiram was a pick-faced infant in locg clothes. It was difficult, at sight of his enormous chest and Titan-like shoulders, and the fall, short chestnut beard that framed the lower portion cf hia fine countenance, to picture to one's self now that at asy epoch of time he could ever have answered to the above deBCiiptica, but is Eafe to say that no feelins of strangeness of embarrassment had dwelt in his own soul, though he had - so suddenly teea transplanted amid conditions and Surroundings eo utterly opposed to those to which L.9 had all his life been accustomed, until Mabel Trask, quickly crossing with the Boft, direct motion of a bird on tbe wins the length of her mother's pretty morning-room, stretched oat a slim hand toward him with a pretty cordiality of welcome, and spoke a few words in her low, well-modulated, wellbred and well-trained voica. Tnsn Hiram, for the first time in his life, had a Budclen and very disconcerting Sensation ef being awkward, oondoroa, out of place and ill at ease. Kef ore this slight, delicate aid in hia eyes ethereally refinedlooking girl, with the b'ack hair brushed loosely from a low Grecian brow, and a pair of wonderfully derk and deep blue eyes loci.it g with calm self possession at mm from cut of her steal !, pale, OTal face, he felt himrelf a great, hoiking fellow, without one grace, one merit, one excusa for being. The damtinets of the little parlor, the hooka, the flowers in vas, the slight feminine ceed.'ework lyin about, the thousand and one indications cf refined, womanly presence, impressed his unworn sensibilities, fresh i;om the liea, Western lifa of the plains, with a träne farce. He bad no means cf knowing, cot being versed in the lore of womexrs looks, that while he sat there. fteHsg himself to be like a bull in a Chinashop, Mabel Trass: was telling herse It in a reserved, maidenly fashion that ne was the meat superb-looking man she had ever Men; so tall, bo commanding, so simple, so manly and gentle withai; yes. she felt sure of his being gentle. Not knowing this, as baa been said, Hiram Couldock was uncomfortable and dirgusted with himself, exceedingly. And thus it came to pass that his first visit to M?a.TraEk. who had known his father long years ago, and, indeed, bad bee a a sweetheart cf his, and to her daughter, was a brief one; and, In one seme, aa uusatia'aitory cue. Now Hiram Couldock had come East on a peculiar mission. The dearn of a relative, who left him a small sum in her will, had served as an exctue for the journey; but, in reality, be had far other thoughts in hia mind when he sonzht his birthplace, than this siim legacy. He had enough of his o va and was doing well; in a few yea more, if luck remained his friend, he would hare a more than comfortable competency. Money, then, troubled him not at a'L Bat he wanted a wife, and he had come east to look for her to find her. This jourg fellow, with his Herculean exterior, had, though be suspected it not in tbe least, a great fund of ideality, of hero-worship, and a great capactity for boudles3 tenderness and eelf-eacrti;e, hidden iu the depths cf hia soul. I'ocomcijusly he had for years loved a yajrue ideal eemblance of a waman formed in hiaows bra'n and heart; the few women he bad come in conUct wuh about hia western hom had been very far from reaching to the foil stature of that perfect woman the one woman in the world for him existed somewhere, that his lif a could never be complete until he had met her face to face, grew with time, until, finally, this pretext of hia aunt's will serving him, he had started out with this half defined idea of finding her, with an ardent wish to carry back ta his hearthstone that helpmate whose presence would make "brm" for the first time not an empty word. When he left Mrs. Trask's housa a sinalar thinz occurred. He hid walked tas length cf the main street of the little town stiil with that new, coafusd and mortifying aent-ecf having been at a disadvaatags bpob him when he found himsnlf suddenly cmeriDj; from this mood and going over, with curious and minute Intensity, every wordSiabel Traskbad spoien, every inflection of her to ice and every look of her eyes. Jost then a little school girl passed him tine held a small buoch of violets in her hand. Tbe perfume reached him and he remembered that the very fame scent had been waited toward him when lli is Traskcame forward to greet him. She had worn a few viel eta in her drew. The trivial coincidence sent a Email, subtle thrill through Hiram Couldock. He stopped and stood perfectly still for the space of a moment. Then be took one long breath and moved on. He had suddenly felt, as surely as though a Hash from heaven had been sent to illumine tbe fact for him, that this was the one woman, that she had been met at la3t. A day or two passed, and then Hiram called again upon Mrs. Trask. Ha had the privilege cf Joins so, owing to the ling friendship and intimacy of the two families, and he had besides been ipecially urged to come again, and come soon. Miss Trask was in the room. Ab, how lovely sha looked! In a light, trained gown this time, which to the poor fellow's eyes teemed gorgeous raiment lit for tbe queen that ahe was thourh it was only a house drew, after all. Sbs made him think of a nowers) pure, so sweet, so delicately white she was. Ha did not know for some moments that there was any or. e else In the room. Then a young man, a alight and rather nan dco me but somewhat effeminate looking young man, emerged from the embrasure of a bay window where be had been sitting, with a large, striking young woman, and Hiram was introduced in turn to Miss Hobbies, Miss Trask's cousin, and to Mr. Henneway. Hiram sever had a very distinct idea of how the evening passed. Miae Robbins sang in sharp, brilliant soprano, and Miss Trask in a rich contralto, and the languid young xsao, Mr. Henneway, played accompaniments. Hiram was conscioas of only one thine. He loved this girl with the white

face and the eyes like deep blue vao'ets. There was no one like her. He Dad eeen women like Miss Bobbins, her cousin. Sat like Mabel Trask, no one. When hs got oat into the still, crisp winter night he looked up once at the diamond bestudded heavens. Religions forms bad never been usual or fa miliar to him. Yet there was an unspoken thanksgiving in this man's heart at that moment. God willing, he had found his wife. The next few weeks went by in a sort of dream for him. He saw Mabel Trask almost every day. And gradually a great hope bspan to dawn in hia heart a hope hs scarce dared acknowledge to his inmost soul lest it prove fallacious aüd vanish at a touch the hepe that the love she could not but read in his every word and look might be returned. Hiram Couldock felt that he had never lived until this last month. One day he had just left Mrs. Trask's when, at her doer, he met an old acquaintance who bad recently returned to the little town after an absence of some time. The conversation turned nron various inhabitants cf the place, and finally the man said: "Nice people, thoe Traska, out of whose house you were coming. Charming the daughter is. A pity she is going to throw heiself away on that eliminate fellow, Henneway." "What do you mean?" inquired Hiram, with an abnormal quiet in his voice. "Oh. they have been engaged for years," eaid the other carelessly. A little farther along the street, chancing to glance at his companion's face, he jocosely exclaimed: "Hedo, Couldockk my friend! This Eastern air isn't agreeing with you, do you know? You must get back to the plain?, man You're as white as some interesting damsel." Couldock never even heard him. It was as though ten thousand bells were ringing in his ears. In the first moment the hot blood surged to his head in a sudden fury. Had she led him on only to betray him? Had she made a game of him? Almost the next instant he could have killed himself for haviDg been euilty of the thought. bh9 Mabel the tratst the purest; no, there wbj some mistake. She could not be engaged to that puppy Henneway! And then the rin came, tharp ai a knife, and the doubt. What If she were? what if she were? And all, he had no right to think she cared for him great, awakard, uncouth, lumbering fellow that he was or even had cared. Perhaps it was only ber kindness perhaps his own love had blinded him. Well, he would go to her like a man and tell her of his love now and aak her, if this that he bad heard were true. And then as the possibility cf its being trne indeed flashed over him again, tbe pojr fellow ft t his teeth against his lips so that the blood came. At night he resolved thesa things in his mind. And gradually the conviction grew ii pen him that h9 must face the loss of her. tlany trivial words and occurrences, unnot eed before, came to his memory cow, and Ftsmed to prove that that mao, who hai Oalihim the deadliest blow he cjuld receive, knew well of what be spoke. Why f-tiould he not? He bad lived here alwavs. He knew Mabel and that that other well And so the one woman tbe ideal vision tad been shown to Hiram Cou'dock's dazz'ed eyes, acd placed for one short space of liae within his reach, only to he snatched away. He sat down and wrote, to ber. He had decided that it would he unmanly to g- ti her and ask her if that report he had hsard were true He could not but Bee tbe pain it would cause him to learn its coufirmatioa from her lips. And his pain would pain her. 'o, he would go away quietlr. Ha would give no the bitter bappimsi of seeia; her again. He would refrain evan from telling her that hs loved her. lest that knowledge, likewise, should cauaa her pain. And Hiram' Couldock did not koow that in the letter he wrote hia love spoke out between every line as clearly to Mabsl Trask's soul es though it had been poured into her ears from his lips It was toward tbe close of the clear winters'a afternoon when Hiram Caaldook reached the station and began walking cp and down in restless impatience. The train wos not coming. But neither was it due aa jet. H was fully twenty minutes in alVance cf it. Such a thing bad not often happened to him He had too just aa sopreciation of the valne of time even to waste many precious minutes in this wise. Bat now he was pursued with a goading feeling that he must get away quickly out of sight of this quaint, quiet little Mam town which held all tbat waa on earth moat dear to him befoie hia resolution gave way and he tried to see Mabel Trask' a face again. The station master and the two sUtary travelers, both elderly females, sitting in the waiting room, looked every now and then with wondering eyes at this tall, brord sbouldtred 5 oanx man who seemed so extracrdiranly impatient for the traia to come up. caddenly they saw him start as though be had been shot and then quickly step farward. A young lady had appeared at the other'end of the platform. 6he walked onward biavely, but the color came and went nervously in her cheek. And jet she had not so far to walk either: t r the next moment the tall, dark-bearded young man was at ber side. "Miss Trask !" he exclaimed. Mabel raised her eyes for one second ken!y, aearchiDgiy to his. That one glance was enough. There was no mifetaking the joy, the pain, the love the pcor fellow tried to repress, but could not. Her womanly intuitions had not played her false then. "Mr. Couldock," she began, struggling bard to speak bravely and calmly. "I cans here especially to see you. You wrot me you were going away. I heard by chanca at almcst the same time that a false impression l ad unwittingly been given you as to my relations with Mr. Henneway. You were given to understand that I was engage! to Lim. I I am not " Bbe broke oft, for, standing with his back to the waiting-room and its inmates, so that bis broad shoulders screened her from their curious gaze, he had seized her hand in a clasp so tight that she could almost have cried out "Ycu are not engaged to him? Nat? Oh, Mafceir' he raised her eyes again to his. It was a long glance. A glance in which everything was explained, everything understood. The tears stood thick on Mabel's lashes, for with all her high minded courage, it had cost her more tban even her lover would ever know to take this Btep. to call him back, to clear up this misunderstanding, and all on the mere instinctive knowledge in her woman'a heart ttat he loved her. And yet was It true that her lover would never know what she had feegbt against and suffered in those momentous minutes? "Mabel," he said, s'owly, "you hava bsen to me Bince tbe first time my eyes rested on yen, the embodiment of all that is most pure snd high and sweet in woman. At this instant, after this act of yours, which only a woman like yon would have the single-hearted courage to accomplish ah, dear! Well, I cannot say much, Mabel. I am only a Jcmbtring fellow, but you know whether I lsve and reverence and worship you. dear." .She bad his arm, and they had taken ths direction of the town again. Couldock passed his band once or twice over his brow. Afier all this pain, this awakening he could hardly believe it. "And are you quite sure you are not engaged to Henneway?'1 he said after a moment. She laughed softly. Quite aire. We were engaged in a way for yearr. That is why you were misinformed. Our parents had wished always that the marriage might be made. Bat a year ago, when I came to realize what it all meant I knew I did not love the companion of my echcol days, and so it was broken off. Hs is engeged to my cousin, Kate Rabbins, now, dear." Just then the train Couldock had been g log f o take flashed by them. Ob, Mabel! ' Hiram exclaimed; "if you bad txen but a few minutes later" "Do cot remind me of my cbase after yon. sir," said Mabel, laughing softly again. "I wish to forget tbat episode completely." But her eyes upturned to his did cot ssem to say tbat there was anything ahe wished to forget.

Ob, after all' returned Hiram, falling into her tone and speaking airily, "I don't know tbat you did eo much in coming to that station to find me. 1 came all the way fiom the wilds of the West to find you, you know. But no," he continued, growing serious again, '70a did not know that I had made this journey in search of a wife, yet 80 it was. I think my good angel inspired me and led nie here. I have found my wile now, thank God!" THE KOSIANCtS Of A DANK.

He Wloa a Frlze In the Louisiana State Lottery and a Wire at tbe Same Time. In the private cCcaof the Louisiana Btate Lottery Company's fine building . on St. Charles street, a representative cf the Picajune met, on Thursday, Mr. Bldstrup, a planter of Ascension Parish, Mr. F. 8pendrup and Mr. B. W. Lashley, also from the same parish. These visitors seemed to be in the happiest of moods. On being accosUd, Mr. SpsndruD said he had come down from Doualdouville, accompanied oy h'.a friends, to collect the amount 0! l- COO, which ha had won in the Louisiana lottery drawing cf April 14. es holder of a fifth part of ticket 59 075, which tccured the first capital prize of 75,000. Ccnticuing, Mr. Specdrup said: "You tee I have been an assistant overseer cn Mr. Bidetrup'a 'Gem' plantation, in At cension, where I have been working since last August. I learned sagar-making in the West Indies, and lived in that part of the world until something over a year ago, when I came to this country, thinking tbera was a better chance of making money here. For nearly two years I had been taking tickets In the Louisiana Lottery, hut somehow my luck was bad, and I won nothing. My friend there, Mr. Lashley, about two weeks before the lest drawing got six tickets from the company'e agent in Honaldsonvlile. Mr. B. Bybuki and I boughffour from him. One was fci me acd tnrte for my brother and myself on the shares. These wore ail filths. I rrailed these to my brother, who lives in Brooklyn, N. Y. After the drawing came ol? I was told 1 had won something, but w&J not sure, so I telegraphed for the tickets, which iv.j brother Bent me. They arrived several days ego, and then I saw there coald b3 no more doubt about it." Mr. pendrup is a handsome, fair-haired, well made young Dane, with the appearano of excellent health, and possessed of all the qoalibcations to enjoy life. "Are you a married man?" asked the reporter. "No, but I expect to be eery soon," he replied, langhin. "I am going to take the first vessel which fails for tbe West Indies, b rre cte is waitiDg for me in Santa Cruz, the Danish Lie. We have been eagaged for tojfip. I have been looking for good luck 10 ctme. and now I am ready to get married. For years I worked hard, but pat money in my pocket very slowly, hiow I have made my roitone iu a day." At this moment a c!erk of the Lottery Cr.uipany appeared and handed Mr. Speudrop h check on tie New Orleans National Back fcr?15,000, wbiqh he received with an, air of ccinplete satisfaction that indicated he was perfectly happy. The reporter wHhed the young. Dace bon vcyage to Santa Cruz aid a joyous union with his sweetheart, from whom be bad so long been separated. A V lud fall for VlD.lfIl tacky Men From a Lucky Town. On the day following the visit of the Dane (ttat is, today), there entered this same charmed office three Iadiauians, sturdv men of tbe Western country, Mesrs. W. C. Parker and E. Perry, of the town of Windfall, and Mr. lt. B. Be an champ, of Tipton, all of Tiptt n county. Indiana, some fifty miles fron the capital, Indianapolis. It was sxn reveal d that these gentlemen had left their dhtant homes in the Land of Grain to reap a rich harvest in Louisiana a harvest, not of grain, but of gold.

Perry trot them, and we agreed to share the profits." Yes," said Mr. Terry, "Parker had the faith and I had the luck. Tula combination was bound to win." Mr. Parker stated that he had not expended in all more than $10 in lottery tickets during the time he has made investments of thiai character. He was very agreeably surprised when informed by Mr. Perry that $15 000 had fallen to their lo, one of the fifths Dein; numhrtd 50 CT5 which won the first prizs of jTä.OüP.

A MEDITATION OX OLD AGE. BT C. H. ft. My friend Jack L. is visiting me. Jack is about forty, unmarried, rich, and of an easy disposition. An old, white-haired neighbor was passing the house as we sat looking through the window. "Who is that?" said Jack. ,lOne of my neighbors, nearly eighty years old, and without a family," I answered and I looked at Jack. "As you think I will be some day, eh?" he eaid. "It looksjiossible," I replied. "Well," said he, "old age la beautif uL As to having no family with it, I should think it would.beall the mors beautiful." "Better cot risk it, Jack, and you may change your mind about the beautiful part, under the most favorable conditions," I said. "Old ase is beautiful," is an old saying. No one knows who first said it, or under what circumstances. In any event, it is nonsense. There is nothing in old age that has any relation to the beautiful. "Old a?e is chesrless," comes nearer the troth, and in most esses It is entirely trne. Eee the river rise after the rains. Sse the v?ater highest in mid stream. Sse the drift floating to the shores and lodging here aad there to be left. See the lightest floating in mid-stream and sailing on downward toward the sea. Here you have old age on the stream of time in times of prosperity. When the stream begins to fall it is lowest in -the middle. Some drift that has lodged floats off to the center, is water soaked, and snks. The refuse cf Slight stoffa goes downward with ths current, much mixed and disturbed. Here you have life in times of adversity. At flood tide the young and thoughtless, the prosperous and the hopeful, go lifting down in mid stream, shouting, and careless of the old who have floated as drift to the there. Ths old see them go by, unable to follow or take part, and must look forward to realities and not to romance. When the tide begins to fall tbe old are sometimes earned to mid-stream by force of tbe outfioatiDg and struggling young who have been stranded, and often go down to the bottom, or lodge in the drifts to go out no more. As we grow old day by day imagination and romance fade and realities are to be dealt with. The road grows rougher ard is more obstructed, while our ability and inclination to overco roe and remove the obstructions grow Wis. New generation! grow up and strangers come. Thoee we knew move away or go to their long Lome one by one, and we become almost strangers in the place where we ones knew everybody and have always lived. Tbeycnng have nothing in commoa With us. The soc'al circles become fewer aud rerrowtr. No maitter what oar borne may be, the world slowly glides away from u? the world we knew and we are as strangers, though amid the natural scenery tbat we saw ai children. If we have children of our own who are settled in life, and between us there has been harmony and love, where we are welcome and feel at home, the days may bs sombre, but they are not coeerless. There is nothing beautiful In seeing the hair whiten, the wrinkles gather, tbe old friends one by one go rast in tbe hea-se. and think our turn will Boon coxe, and we will be as soon forgotten as if we had not been known. We still feel young. We do not let 1 old. When we see old people we do not feel as if we belonged with them. As long a we are able to move about with reasonable activity we can not realizi that others look at and speak of us as b-in gold. Aud yet it(is thrcst upon us very oiten in a thousand slights slights tons though not intended as such and as tbe door slowly closes that cuts us oil from the world of life aoout us, and leaves us to our own thoughts while we wait for tbe grim messenger, where is the beautiful in it to us or to tnose abiut us? And if wo are alone, with or without vrf allh and the creat mass are without hat is there in it that is even cheerful? Though we fill the store-house as we go alrng with pleasant memories born of love and good deeds, ss we look back those memories bring with them thrills of pain. As we lok forward we can see only hope dimly visible in the far away. But if we live, old age must com?, with or wlthcut infirmity. As I write another old neighbor cornea in. We call her grandma. She is over eighty-six and is quits feeble. Jack is very kind, and ehe is pleased with his reverential attention. Sbe does not hear it-adiiy. tie talks of various tblnzs Her memory is good, and for a little while she nchts up with soirie of tbe interest ahe fait in former years; bat she son goes away back to her heme to think over the short alk, tbe little sunshine she saw, ths cheerfulness of Jacr. and what a des. lation will come to him when he reachei her a?, and bow he will wonder be could ever feal that ' old age is beautiful." The M'oet wa can do for ou'selves is as we pas atoT g to 8-e that we make no uncanny fkeletocs to fall in behind us and fallow as to gibber at us as we look back In old age for pleasant "thoughts of scenes long gone," and to try to make as much sunshine for tie old as we caa. wherever we mc et them be they grand cr humble, rich or poor. With pleasant memories behind and hope before we shall best preserve a spring-time in the heart and have the most cheer for old age. CURIOUS. USEFUL AND SCIENTIFIC.

CHICAGO SPECULA, T1YE 31 LUKE f. Ihe Market Broken Up by tae Removal of the Board of Trade to Its few Ouarters Business Features Much the same aa Heretofore. Special to the Sentinel. Chicago, May 2. The week on 'Change has been badly broken by the removal of the Board of Trade into their magnificent new quarters, the holiday of Wednesday for the dedication of tba new building and the general hubbub and overturning incident to the change of Offices by nlnetenths of the brokers here. Thursday the bovs got a chance to try tnelr voices la tbe lofty new hall, and they yelled as they never yelled before just to see if they could not start a crack somewhere, but It was all solid. The prominent features cf the week's market have been much the same as those of the three or four preceding ones. Everybody has again given all tteir time and attention to watch in? for the slightest news from the other side pointing to -v ard peace or war. Ditpatche3 have generali r been considered rathei more belligerent, and rouseoaently the ruling tone has been firmer. Bumors df tbe most sanguinary character have been circulated daily, although tbe majority have b?en denied as soon as set afloat. Indeed, a muca greater advance would have been recorded bad not tbe continued heavy realizing by conservative "tones" kept buyers tilled up. still the santiment of the crowd ssems to nave undergone h not tier change, and from being inclined to view the war as an improbability, or, at least, with indifference, tbey have grown to regard it as au established fact, and each little dealer has laid away a few thousand ouabelsof wheat in preparatloa lor it. Countrymen, too, have caught the fever and placed their savings on the bulls' side. The decrease in the visible supply va? about the same as tbat shown by trie previous statemsut and excited no comment. It baa been autlcloated This week, however, the movement throughout the country has been more brisa aad a larger fckrlnkace is expected. Crop news is not so plentiful as it was two weeks aco, and as notamg ia now heard from tbe many acres of lall ioxn grain which were reported entirely dead, t tie supposition la tbat they made a better saowinj when the grass bean to get uuder way. Aa before stated no Intelligent forecast ot the future course of the market can be attemptad uatil something definite is known regariiug the Mluation abroad. 8o long as the deal hi at? es oa war notb ing can be said which the appearancs of a new factor in tbe field may not reader uaerly vsluelets ia an hour. The market U nerrois, ft-verisn and respcnCs readily to ihe senseless romois constantly current oa the Hoar. As aa operator remarked this moraiug: "lie la faiiy s liable to win who invests blindly a) he who studies for days ou the siiuiilou." There U mora ruin in eight thau ever before at this season bat actual fixhiinsr would make it a lint load, while fhould peace result the material improvement iu toe crop outlook may Rive the bears tae advantage. The recent vote of tbe Board to hereafter accept trades as small as 1.0.0 bushels of grain aud tiny pscksges of provisions, bavmg been followed by a relutal to admit the Western Union wires tn tbe new bnildiusr, and tne consequent destruction of a majority of the bucaet shops, eems likely to attract into regular channels a lare share of fie trsde heretofore enjoyed by thes institutions, t otnuilssion men report no end of Inquiries ragaidtui; mall dealeis, and tpecial arr&agenieat bave been made on the fljor for fillinj such order. Corn has ruled firm and h'gher. partly in sympathy with wheat and partly on its own merits Cash gialn Is in sharp demand to the fall extent of tbe mpply. a Mv iqaeeza is thought to bs a Kore T til ti in New York, where the entire stock is lets thau a million busuels. Here the J-ea cr iowd have bought tic adily throughout the wee, and notwithstanding the assertions of tiie b?ars to the contrary, the short interest luust be lar??. Provisions are lifeless and many think that bould there be a war it would actually cause a break in product, iio's come iu freely. A FAMILY SECRET OUT.

De Pitt! tli Worst Mht In Two Weeks Cerebral wxcuatlan Said to be the Cause. New York, May 2. Last night waa the wont nifcht with Weneral Giant in two weeks. It was a quiet night, as quiet toes with him, but he slept on j at thort intervals until 6 o'clock this morn, ing, at which time be fell into a sleep that continued until 8 o'clock. He then awoke again but afterward dozed until between 9 and 10 o'clock. About 10 o'clock last eight the General settled down.as was supposed, for the night. He believed l)r. iKu?laa a t true, and when at 11 o'clock the patient heard the Doctor's voice in the hall he summoned him W the sick room. The General seemed nervous aad apprehensive, and requesied the loctor not to quit the house until morning; benoe Dr. Djaglas remained at the honse until 8:30 tnls morning. When the Doctor left tbe houss he said the General's restless night might have been owiag to cerebral excliation resulting from work on his book during the past two daya. The weather, too, may have contributed to tbe restlessness of the ralient. Toe throat and general physical conditions were not such aa to havecauced weariness, and tbe Doctor found explanation of the fact in tbe reasons stated. Tha weekly consultation will be held to-morrow. , . , The General worked on his book to day, said Colonel Fred Grant, lor over two hours and will, on Monday, resume the dictating, after wnich ha will tAke four or five days rest collecting data for furtn.'r dictation. Tnis will finish the work. Of coarae tome revision will bo necessary, but the General U rnntidet it will not be much. A a ta tame at has an reared in one of tne papers that the General has resumed smoking again. Is such the fact? No. answered the Coioael, there is no truth in the matter. A . tew daya a?o the doctors told father if he wanted to smoke a cigar he migkt do so. but he has not dons so aud will not do so. ferhaps sooi parties who have seen me at the window smoking may have mistaken me for father. The General's condition U about the sane, although taeswelag in his throat has ccasod very

perceptibly, tae pain has not increased, however, very materially. r7e feat the d actor la&t night, at lather's solicitation, though he ia na worse to-night. 1 will have to keep vUttorv from bim in the future. After the consultation torn oi row, we will know more definitely wait progress the disease has made. I think progress will be better when his book Is finished. Dr. Douglas came at 10 o'clock and will stay all night. DESTRUCTIVE FICE.

A Tenement Boas Takes Fire aad Borna Baptdly JUght Beportad Dead. New Yoek, May 3. The Tribune ssys: Shortly after midnight this morning a fire broke out in the five-story brick tenement house 072 Fifth avenue. The alarms were soon Bent out The flames were discovered on the first floor. It extended to the root through the air shaft, and the home soon filled with dense smoke, which prevented the occupants of the upper stories escaping. Humphrey's restaurant was in the rear, on the first floor, and he occupied rooms above the restaurant. He and his child got out safely, but Mrs. Humphreys jumped from the window and broke both her legs. Oa tbe tame floor Elizabeth Uenley was found dead. Ida Eauck and a child were rescued by the police. John H&ndon, who helped carry Mrs. Humphreys across the street, said he saw a dozen dead bodies taken out of the building. Tbe ambulance surgeon said fourteen people were taken from the house to Bel evue Hospital, aud tnought eight or nine of them were dead. Another account says: Atlo'cleck this mornli'g a fire broke out In a room at tne rear of John Humphrey's liquor store, at 072 First avenue. Ihe building la five stories high, tbe upper stories being toccupied as a tenement house. The room spoken of was filled with trash ol an Inflammable nature and quickly burned up, filling the honse with smoke. The lecants became ranlc stricken. Pome iumned to tbe street from tbe windows and ! others i ushed down stairs falling over each other ana suffering injuries of more or les serious na lure. Ali the ambulances iu tbe city were called totbei-pot. At 1:30 it was found that six lives bad been lost, and fourteen persons injured. George Ticknor Curtis, the veteran Democrat and ccnstitntlonal lawyer, made some remarks at Ihe recent Penlietoa baaqaet, among which we find the following: 'President Cleveland has been la orfice less than two months," be said, "yet in that aiort si&ce of time there ha come about In toe whole coua .ry a state of feeling which is certalrdy unprecedauted, and I should say phenomenal. If I were to undertake to describe this state of feeling I should say speaking of that great mass of people whoa we usually call the silent voters, butwho always ote one way or the other-tbat it is a quiet, deep, undemonstrative satisfaction that at last we have a national administration which la, and la tobe, conducted npou proper princ'ples of action.
