LIGONIER. NOBLE COUNTY, INDIANA, THURSDAY, AUGUST 24, 1876,

— e ———— e — ' A WEB OF FOLLIES. BY WM. H, PHILLIPS. » “This is terrible,” he said, dropping his eyes with a shudder. ¢ e “Isn’t 1t!” she asked, in a cold, dead way. ¥Terrible to be found out! I was, and ;I know. what discovery means.” : L - She was still for a minute, looking at him without blanch or quiver. He made no attempt to speak. Defence was out of the question. He had said just what she accused him of saying; he remembered his words there behind the cliff; remembered even the faint rustle 1n the grass above, which had sounded like a rising wind, only the wind was no eavesdropper. Hmél was he ever to convince his wife that that mood. had been a sham and this one sincerity ? A desperate hopelessness fairly crushed him. : : Maud’s voiceagain broke the silence. It was not like her own voice either; there was something diabolical in its irony and in the forced laugh with which she said: - :

“But, I, Mr. Vandeveer, at least reaped a reward of my -duplicity. I married for money, and the money is mine. It was mine, rather- There was 4 clause in Mr. Derandaim’s will whereby, in case of a second marriage, I forfeit the fortune which he hasleft m,e'” * .

“Thank heaven!” ejaculated John Vandeveer., “Then the money is not yours, after all.”’ ‘8 ' : “Ilt is mine no longer.* In case of my death or marriage,it passes to Tolla Dalmar.” PEgka

Vandeveer straightened himself once more like 3 man.

“A 'minute ago, Maud, it seemed to me that I could not live longer, to be suspected as-you have suspected me. I see my way again to happiness. My darling, how came such slander ever to lodge in your thoughts ?” o “Slander? Have 1 said anything which is not true?” o

“It is true, Maud, that I have tho’t and said bitter things of you in times past. .If I had not loved you so passionately, I should not have said them. My reproaches were only one phase of my love, or rather of my attempt to wrench it from my heart. When the time came .that I dared trust myself to love again, I forgot that bitterness ever existed. It seems incredible that you should not forget it too.” = - “No, Irnever forget,” rephied Maud slowly. : I “You do not mean that?” - “I am afraid I do.” “What, Maud—you do not mean that our lives are to be wrecked again because in my disappointment I was: morbid enough to call you such hard names ?”’ ) s “I ca %t forget your ewn words— I woéﬁﬁ/be just,’ you said, ‘that some man s ld mairy her for her money, as she married Jasper Derandaim for his. She ought to know the worth of such an act.”” o : “If such is the case, Maud, I can only endeavor to prove to you that you are the woman whom above: all the world I love, I'am rejoiced that you have no fortune. The only complaint I make is that you did not acquaint me with the fact a month ago.” : Her face remained as white, as rigid as before. jis

“Why, do you suppose, I did not acquaint you ?” she asked. =

- Her question was a new ;problem. “Surely not because you wished to deceive me ?” Lo “Yes; for.no other reason.” “Have you considered that your own happiness is involved ?” “Happiness!” she echoed, with a passionate gesture, : “I have forgotten the meaning of the word: it was lost to me many years-ago, one moonlight summer night—you may .rémember.” He approached her and encircled her with his arms. | St - “It is found again, darling. I.et the dead past bury its dead.” : ‘ ~ He kissed her. ; - - She shivered. L : ; “I thought that it was found. I thought that your precious love did remain to me—l thought we could take up our lives again where we lett off—uiitil those words of yours were brought to me, and I was undeceived.” “Who brought them ?” ; “My intimate enemy — Tolla Dalmar.” i . 3 S

The :sound of voices then came. to them. : ; ity '

““Onr.absence will seem unaccountable, Maud. let us go to our guests. Try to compose yourself. Our wed-ding-day was not the time for such a scene.,” . -

The slight tone of authority in his words caused his wife to straighten herself coldly. Without taking his offered arm, .she walked by his side from the room.

The informal reception which followed was a trying ordeal.- It is superfluous- to say that Vandeveer was indifferent to the Derandaim fortune; but Maud’s deception tortured him. If she had loved him she could not have deceived him. But if she did not love him, why did she marry him ? It was incredible to suppose that she had done it for. spite. - Poor Maud, in her turn could ‘not quell the excitement of her mad suspicions. “He fancied Tolla,” she said to herself. - “He would have paid court to Tolla if she had had the money.” The newly married pair were left alone at-last. The unsuspected alteration in their circumstances rendered it necessary to change the plans they had formed. They did not choose to remain_ Tolla’s guests except for a few days. After that they would go to‘town. e o Vandeveer could not shake off a certain depression. = Maud had once uttered words iwhich he could no more forget than she his. He trembled for their happiness. Meanwhile Maud watched him tyrannically. The slightest shade that crossed his brow she construed into regrets. ; . ~ Suspicions of each other, unquiet in themselves, they, asked mutually where ‘the blame ilay, and were perhaps as miserable as two human beings ever were, : o It added the Jast drop to Maud’sbitter cup when some one was kind enough to tell her that her husband bad admired Tolla Datmar at first sight,and had requested to be introducedtoher = b . :

She recollected on hearing this, his attentions ‘to "L'olla the nmght of the reception ; she revived the memory of every look and word he had directed toward her. ;

One¢ day, going to her 'lglshgndfs office while he was engaged in the outer room, she was astonished upon glancing at some letters on the desk, }:o recognize one in Tolla’s handwritMg, L ries b i £

To (f)pe;; it and déyour the contents was the work of but a few séconds. ' “I must see you, and dt once, ”wrote 'Télla. - “Make some pretext whereby you can' come to me alone, for 1, too, | h;w;: some rights, and my peace is at 8 ‘é—"’” 7 ; L 0 s ‘j‘ : With her ' blood freezing, 'Maud crammed the letter baek into the place from which she had taken it, just as her husband came in, :

A case in which he was much interested had gone auspiciously that day, and he was ingood spirits. Maud, of course, mistook their course. She made her call brief, and went home to plan and watch. - All her jealous excitement feared came to pass. « amliad o Mr. Vandevesr, upon the plea of businegs, arranged to leave home on a two-dlay’s absence, without proposing to his wife to accompany him. She made no ‘remonstrance, for she too had her plans.” _. -As she devined, her busband’s business took him to Waymouth. "~ It was a bleak, wintery day, and. with a sort of desolate shudder at the peculiar phase which life and destiny ‘seemed to wear to him just then, he took his way toward the ‘villa, which rose to his memory bathed in light and perfume and summer dazzle. - The naked treeslifted their branches forbiddingly, the fountain was mute, the grass and flowers had perished.The raw.salt wind smote him very: sharply. | ; ‘His ring brought a servant to the -door who conductad him to the library, where Tella sat, reading in the waning aftecnoon light. v ; She dropped her book as he entered, and stood for a moment pale with excitement at the arrival which she had so earnestly besought. Then, with a flush of cobr, came forward and gave him her hsnd. : . “You st for me, Tolla,” he said, “and I amghere ¢ . = “Yes, Ineeded you,” she replied simply. “Icannot live under talse pretences. Cost what it may, I am resolved to tel! you the truth.” : o “I hope ‘you, too, have no burdensome s¢crets, my little girl,” he said Kindly/ - . ' : I Tolla had always seemed to. him like a ¢hild. ‘ “I have, sir; one which clgsely affects your happiness and mine.” ~° A look of disquiet crossed Mr. Vandeveer’s face. . | ; ~ * “Are you sure that you have chosen . wisely to make me your confessor ?” “I think so. Sit down, Mr. Vandeveer.” . : He obeyed her. o “I'shall make matters brief.” said Tolla. . “You must hear my story,have a cup. of tea, and take the evening train for home. Now this is'my story: Maund has deceived :you. May heaven forgive me if I err in telling y()u.” } 7 : o Vandeveer felt his hand grasp the arm of the chair in which he sat. : “But you do not know to what extent. The property she disclaims is not forféited. My uncle’s will made provision for me in ease of her marriage, but the estate is no less hers than ever. i 1t was her own foolish plan to deceive you, because she tho’t, Mr. Vandeveer, that you. wanted to marry her for her money. She told me that she should undeceive you as soon as she was convinced of your sincerity. But:I, Mr. Vandeveer, do not believe in mysteries. I felt guilty for the part I was playing, and determined to let you know the truth, and make what.use you saw fit of it.” Mr. Vandeveer felt himself more than ever in the dark. ¢ o “Poor child,” he said, thinking of Maud, “I' have had to work so hard lest she should feel her change of fortune too keenly thai I dare say she has. missed all the little attentions she craved. ‘Would to heaven that I could tind some way by which to assure her that my heart from first to last has been more devotedly hers than is often the case between man and woman.”

. “You dolove her then, Mr. Vande‘veer ?”’ asked Tolla earnestly. =~ | “Love my wife!. Tolla, I would give my right hand, or five years of my life, if it were possible to inake her feel how -entirely and devotedly I do love her.” S e e g

Centennial Correspondence. Riding Around the Ground--What You See—Police !~Fire!-Balloon!—Atten-dance—Scraps from Our Note Book. From Our‘ Qwij Correspondent.® ¢ . PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 14, "76. The best way to get an idea of the wonders of the exhibition is by taking the cars opposite the Main Building and riding around the grounds. As the readers of THE BANNER enter the car we accompany them and give them a description of what we see. On our right hand we have the building of the Western Union Telegraph Company, and the Public Comfort Department. If you want to find out the news, this is the §placg to come to.— ‘Here' we .find everybody and everything, and the general query is, *“Who will be elected ?” In the same building, but'having no connection with it, is situated the Press Department. This is reserved for members of the press and 1s not open to visitors. It is under the able supervision of Mr. M. F. Lobe, formerly of the 4ge, and afterward of the Day, of this city. : . .

/“Who is that man with ‘C. G.’ on his hat?” That is a member of the Centennial Guard, the police of the exhibition = They number some 500 and present a very fine appearance. They: are divided into companies, each company under the order of acaptain, and the entire organization ecommanded by Col.Clag. 1 vhe e - Another institution deserving description is the = - : |- CENTENNIAL FIRE DEPARTMENT. So perfect are its arrangements that it 'is,next to impossible for a fire to make any headway. ~ Every evening after six o’clock, the fire department brings out its hose and stretches it all through the buildings witheut coupling the joints. Inless than one minute after the alarnris given, they have a stream on the spot. . . In the meanwhile we are riding past the Judge’s Hall, which we are not allowed to enter, and Teach, after passing one or two minor buildings which will be described ‘later, the building of the Centennial Photographic Company. Asyour readérs are aware, exhibitors and members of the press must have their photographs on theirpasses,, When we first obtained our 'paés, wgi wended our Wway. to the photograph building to have our “counterfeit presentment” taken. The first thing that struck our view was a placard reading “On and after -July 30, photographs will be ¢harged.one dollar.” .As Mrs. Littlestamps, who .accompanied' us, said, “Well, well, to:a person used to see littlestamps (C. Littlestamps) all my life, as I have' been, this is anything but.welcome news.” However, as' the ‘photograph was a necessity, Mrs. (L. was compelled tordo without her new silk (4 ct. calico) dress. Like Sam Randall’s Appropriation Committee, we found retrenchment necessary. : -

As we are tired of riding, we wait until, we get to Rowell’s Newspaper Exhibition and jump out. Here is one of the greatest things at the show. Every paper in the United States, and. it does not take a minute to Jind any vaper you want. We go up stairs, where newspaper men are always welcome, and write up our visit for THE BANNER. : o

-Last Thursday, Prof. King and a party of scientific gentlemen, made a balloon ascension from the grounds. This was the ‘second ascension made by the Professor from within the grounds. The National Guard of Pennsylvania had a dress parade in the grounds last Saturday. They were reviewed by Gov. Hartranft. Gov. Hendricks visited the exhibition on Friday. He left the city for the seashore on Saturday. ' The papers on Saturday published a new rule which;is erroneous. They said that the two last Saturdays ot each month had been set aside by the Centennial Commissioners as days on which only twenty-five cents admission would' be charged. © This is-an error. -~ The commissioners have set’ aside lonly August 19th and 26th as such:days. Aneother new rule is one by which tickets will be sold in packages of five, ten, fifty,one hundred and one thousand. This will enable men %o present tickets to their employes or customers where it would not have been desirable to present them with fifty cents. No discount will be allowed for purchasing in large quantities. - During the past week the attendance has been improving, the average number of paying admissions being about 27,000, ~ This week the receipts will be ‘even greater than last. if appearances .are any critérion. ' The turnstiles at the entrances all register the number of perSon‘?s ‘pa.sSing through, ‘and every register communicates, electrically, with another in the office of the department of admissions.

'~ GENERAL M. C.' BUTLER, A South Carolina Republican Comies . to His Defense and Givesusan ' Jdnsight into Affairs in " ] That Unhappy, State. ~ g General M. C. Butler, of Edgefield coumnty, S. C. has been subjgeted to very great abuse for his action during' the recent troubles ‘at Hamburg, in that State. In Congress, in the martisan press, and from the stump, he has been overwhelmed with abjurgation,. In common fairness, therefore, the testimony of a ‘political opponent, familiar with his whole course toward the negroes of his section, as also hig conduct at Hamburg, should be set opposite to these manifold aspersions, in which it has not been thought unjust to term General Butler a *“red-handed assassin” and “cold-bloodéd murderer,” not to speak of other epithets familjar to the vocabulary of partisan war-

fare.. 3 St e At the Hayes and| Wheeler ratification meeting at Rock. Hill, S. C, on the 2d inst., Judge T, J. Mackay was one of the speakers. - He is at once one of the most prominent ‘and influential Republicans in the State. A speaker who had preceded him had denounced General Butler in unmeasured fashion. Inhis remarks Judge Mackay said: ' e '+ I cannot cqmeur with the speaker who has addressed you, in denouncing General M. C. Butler as the author, or in any degree the promoter, of that great crime. I have cunsidered all the evidence thus far disclosed upon the subject; I have, conversed with Republicans of both races who were in or near Hamburg at the time of the massacre, and ‘while they all believe that General Butler 'was oneof the guilty parties to that deed of blood, 'such belief or conclusion on their part is not supported by any testimony which would not beinstantly consumed to ashes under the rays of judicial test. . Lol

. He then proceeded to give eertain facts not heretofore, known_ in this connection. ' In January, 1875, General Butler’s residence and outbuildings were burned, as alleged, by a party.of | negroes from in and about the town of Hamburg. In a subsequent encounter between a force under Genéral Butler and the negroes believed guilty of the arson, several of them were | wounded. Judge Mackay was in-| structed by the Governor to proceed | to the spot and interpose his authority to restore order and-avert a collision between the races, which then seemed imminent. He issuéd his war- | rants for the arrest of Ned Tennant, | captain of a negro militia company, | together with several members of his command, charged with the arsons on | General Butler’s place, and also for the arrest of General’ Butler and some ten or twelve white citizens charged | with the assault on the negroes. General Butler, he says, and his co-defend-ants . yielded instant obedience to the process, riding some fifteen or sixteen miles through ‘as heavy a rain-storm. ‘as I ever witnessed that they might | promptly answer the charge against | them .at the bar of my Court. | Gener-. ‘al Butler and his co-defendants were discharged pursuant to law, after a| full investigation in open Court. The | fact was established by overwhelming proofs, through the testimony of both | white and colored “witnesses, that| Tennant had assembled his company: under arims to resist the arrest of himself and others of his'company, a war-, rant having been issued for theiriapprehension by the colored trial "?rus—tice of the vicinage, wherein they were charged: with arson. . -He did resist arrest,‘drivinp; back the constable to | whom ‘had been Aintrusted the execution of the war{rant, To overcome that resistance to the due process of; the law, the trial justice summoned’ General Butler and other responsible white citizens to act as a lawtul posse in effecting the arrest of men who | stood openly in armed defiance of the | laws. . The trial justice und his constable again proceeded to the spot| where Tennant had unlawfully assembled his command, and they were driven back at the muzzles of leveled rifles. General M. C. Butler, by the authority of the trial justice. there present, then advanced with the posse to. use the mecessary force to overcome the resistance | offered to a lawful warrant. As-soon as the posse got within range they were fired upon by the militia force;| numbering about thirty men. The posse returned the fire and wounded two of the militia, all of whom then fled. I have given you the facts in | ithe: premises, as ascertained by a thorough and impartial investigation, and. yet General Butler was as positively | ‘and bitterly accused ot crime in that| affair as he is here to-day in' eonnec‘tion with the Hamburg butchery. But I have a further purpose in reciting the facts of the Edgefield disturbance ‘oof 1875, During that investigation 1 was informed of! the fact that an | .armed force o f whites was marching upon the county seat for the pur: pose of | lynching Tennant, then .in the Edgetield jail, under my commitment, pending an examination. By. my request, but chiefly through the influence of ‘General Butler, the Edgefield ::Rifle Club, composed of white Democrats, -assembled under arms, and with loaded rifies stood prepared throughout the night to detend that| most obnoxious prisoner at all hazards against lawless, violence., I deemed the testimony' against; Tennant and others sufliciént to warrang their being held to bail to answer the. charge ot arson. The proot was clear that General Buytler's house was fired by an incendiary. Lt was not insured,, and he lost; with it the garnered sayings of many years. He had left, on a. brief journey, the home which sheltered his wite and ehildren; and when | he returned “the blackness.of ashes marked where it stood.” In theprisoner ‘['ennant, who looked ;through the bars of the jail, General Butler believed that he saw. the map;‘vﬂo%i@d% applied the torch te his dwelling and; had sent his wife and his litile ones shrieking from its blazing roof iuto: the sleet and fgost. of a January mid: night! Yet he interpesed to proteet the prisoner who had thus most ruth-. lessly wronged him and rémitted ven- | geance to the law, acting through its duly constituted tribunals. . Isit.probable that the man who 8o acted under | such a provocation could have boyne a:pg%nuthe; Hamburg. bateh;ry.— uns provoked as he was either by injury: or iusult.?! Brad g s ‘ ~ In conclusion, Judge Mackay said that ’heswdnl%fnm believe that General Butler was guilty of the crime chargedagainst him until it was proven e fore an impartial jury.

5 ~ Brick Pomeroy’s Bolt. () Pomerdy's Democrat has again bolted the Democratic National nomination and calls for a new, or third, party.! “Brick” lefs the icat out of the bag when he says he never received 2 ;! dollar or a subscription from Tilden ' or his backers in the East. This is | the skeleton in his closet. He went to New York and attempted to establish a daily newspaper. He was neglected by the Eastern Democrats. His ' project was a faiiurge{l which lost him a quarter million of \dollars. Feeling deeply the chagrin and mortification ‘that always follows the failure of.a newspaper enterprise, depleted in i purse, he removed his paper to Chicago. He bolted the nomination and | - ‘supported O’Conor in 1872, and for his undemocratic procedure the Democracy of the East refused to support his paper. This. is the true secret, the main-spring of his action now., He was a rebel to the party four year ago, he is a rebel to-day. He attended the St. Louis convention and knows that Tilden was the first choice of three-fourths of the Democrats of the entire nation. Even the South, where Pomeroy's Democrat has ‘its best and largest support, went solidly for Tilden. . To bolt that momin= ation, so fairly and honorably made, is undemocratic. He 'who does it is not-a Democrat. “Brick” Pomeroy is ' not a Democrat. He has not been for four years. He has been a disturbing element in the party. He has made ' and is now making his personal griev-) ances the cause of his opposition to: Democracy. © “Brick” Pomeroy may | or may not have been bought over ' from the support of Democracy. He ‘has been two weeks silent, a silence that is ominous and suspicious, and - now comes out against the St. Louis/ nominee. ; Pomeroy's influence with the Democracy has départed.

“ What the County Papers Do.
