fclie and ICcIl, and ' aunt by courtesy only to Faith and Joe met the four young damsels, mistered and veiled in the ' ' hideous height ' f traveling fashion, aa they stepped from the car and too's a limited survey o lew Saratoga. ! "Here, girls, this vay," she said, bursting through the neat little waitingroom of the depot, her voice echoing bach, a cheerful gale of -wind in a pine forest, ' Here's the vehicle." Madeline was too digniS.ed to ex press any astonishment, but Nell opened her big. blue eyes to their -widest extent, and Joe shocked Aunt Audrey by uttering a low "whistle1 us they were escorted to an open wagon, drawn by two slow, sleepy-eyed horses. "I thought it -would be better to go directly to the tents, as I had everything in readiness," said Aunt Audrey.' "If you're hungry you can lunch by the way. I'd advise you not to, though," as Joe cast a longing glance at "her basket, "if you want a good appetite for ycur first supper in the woods. Did you ; pack your valises as I directed ? Very well, then we'll put them right in here and send your trunks to the hotel. You Sv.e we must accommodate ourselves to backwoods style, my dears," with a patronizing glance at her turnout. "This isn't quite as comfortable as your Uncle Thomas' carriages, but it does very well, very well indeed. We are quite in the woods, you know." " Here," commented Nell, as a pretty little phseton drawn by two sleek, black horses dashed by, "I do believe Aunt Audrey got the worst-looking old rig she could find. She made up her mind to come to the backwoods, and backwoods it must be, in spite of the abominable enterprise of some of these frontiersmen. She must tell Unclo Tom of the privations she had to endure for the dear girls, including a ride in a lumberwagon." Bat Nell's observations were wisely made in an undertone. i Turning away from the depot they crossed the river on a handsome iron bridge, at which. Aunt Audrey was highly disgusted. "Just as if," she said with a sigh, "we didn't come here to get away from civilization; and what is there picturesque about that t" But she drew the attention of her young proteges to the wondrous beauty of the rocks and the calm., majestic sweep of the river. Crossing the bridge the road wound in and out through a wild country, with here and there a glimpse of a farm-house between the hills, and rugged cliffs jutting up by the roadside, and dark woods swaying softly in the summer wind. After a ride f two or three miles they turned off the main road, and, in a few minutes, alighted in the midst of a dense forest, whose only sign of civilization was a battered guide-board, fastened to a tree. Aunt Audrey, after giving a few energetic directions to John, led the way up a narrow foot-path around a curve in the rock to the tent, which stood on one side of an archway foxnc X by the overhanging rocks. The passage under the arch was some eight or ten feet wide, and the shelving rocks projecting out on either side formed an admirable protection for the tents. Away below was a dark abyss how deep or dangerous they could not determine in the uncertain light.'

effectually conceal her carefully-laid plans. CHAPTEE III. ceoss FtmrosEs. . John, having perforined bis duties as coachman, soon made his appearance in a white apron, and began to prepare the supper-table, which consisted of a large, flat stone, covered with a snowy cloth, and set , with bright tin dishes. There were potatoes, roasted in the ashes ; fish the result of the day's sport delicately broiled ; crackers and cheese fragrant tea, condensed milk and fresh bread and fruit. The latter articles Aunt Audrey energetically protested against as being altogether too civilized, and. finally accepted the berries through a pleasant little fiction that they were the result of their own wild-wood rambles John always being expected to carefully destroy the tell-tale boxes, and tp? hint vaguely at having found " oceans of 'em. " The next morning beheld four, young ladies in - the regulation camp-costume of plain, short dresses, neatly-fitting calf boots, broad-brimmed straw hats, and gauntleted gloves of undressed kid. Aunt Audrey regTetted exceedingly that Madeline's dignified height did not correspond as well with her short dress as she might have desired, and could not help confessing that Joe's little feet showed off to good advantage, and that Faith's long curls were doubly bewitching under her broad hat, and candidly advised the latter to twist her hair up into a knot. "So much cooler, you know, my dear." The girls had just donned their hats, preparatory to reconnoitering about the foot of the cliff, when a voice above them commenced a sonorous apostrophe to the sun. "Oh tnou that roliest above, round as the shield of my fathers " "Theo, Theo, where are you?" cried NelL " Here am I," came back in the same stagey tones. "Oh, on the top of the house," said Faith, and ran around to what Joe called "the back stairs" to make an ascent, followed by a procession of three immense hats. "Isn't it grand?" said Faith, breathlessly, but no one answered. Their eyes and thoughts were "over the hills and far away. " A rocky bluff rose abruptly away to the north, and at its foot lay a low, green meadow : that stretched far back into the country. A high, rocky ridge, of soft sandstone, curiously waveeaten, ran eastward, which was broken through by the river, which shone in the morning sun like a broad silver band with a border cf dark evergreens. On the opposite side of the river the rocks rose up abrupt, wild and rugged, and threw their dark, coel shadows half way, across the stream. This was the picture they saw, standing on the outmost verge of the cliff, with the slanting sunbeams falling on their bared foreheads and clasped hands. No word was spoken. The beauty of rocks and river, of low, green meadow and dark ravine cast its spell over; the 'fresh, young" .hearts, and lifted them for the moment into an ideal world where the barbarisms of civilisation were unknown; and, standing thus in the presence of nature's rare handiwork, they felt, rather than fsaw, the, beauty., below .and around tliera, "Glong, gling, glong," sounded John's knuckles on a tin pan, and the ppell was broken. Faith looked up suddenly and net the Professor's eyes, and their unspoken regTct touched a sympathetic chord in Faith's rather susceptible Leutt, and formed the first bond of fi-ienJ;Lip between them. It would be useless to attempt a deecripticn of the two wild weeks that followed., There were boat rides r.nd Cshirg frolic?, and long rambles through the wildest and lovelies c . glens, Arr.t Audrey rrticed, :i3 the Cj prcl I !..

INDIANA, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 7;- 1878.

Aunt; Audrey suddenly concluded it "was time to break up the camp, or it would be too lata to remedy the results cf her. elaborate'summer campaign wand the announcement was duly made. . One day more," they all. pleaded, and Aunt Audrey . yielded, with a sigh. There was no knowing how much mischief might be dona in a day. . .. - The next morning Theo absented himself in the most unaceouatahle manner, and at luncheon appeared with the remarkable information that he had' discovered a new cave, a real curiosity, and they must all go and . see' it. Aunt Audrey, in spite of her Intense admiration for nature, did not' take kindly to climbing rocks as a general thing, but declared her intention of accompanying tho expedition, much to Theo's astonishment. . They started out in Indian file, as they had to carefully proceed along a narrow foot-path, on one side of which the cliff rose up abruptly, and on the other a steep descent of fifty or sixty feet.' Theo led the way, and, in spite of Aunt Audrey's most adroit maneuvering, Joe' wus' next; then followed Nell and Madeline, Aunt Audrey and meek little Miss Persia, while Faith and the Professor , brought up the rear. Aunt Audrey was too much occupied in watching her feet lest some treacherous ; stone should send her headlong into the ra vine below to observe how often it was accessary for Theo to help his lithe little companion over a dangerous place, or how the dangerous places became 'more and more numerous. Finally Theodore halted on a fiat ledge, three-fourths of the way up the cliff. "Now," he said, "you'll have to climb carefully," and, putting one strong hand on a jagged bit of rock, he swung him-: himself up. There were some ten Jor twelve feet of dangerous climbing, and the opening of the cave was reached. Joe followed. Madeline took a step or two and said doubtfully: 'I don't think I can come, Theodore." " Oh, . do," ,said Joe, executing a pirouette on the very verge of destruction; "it's lovely ferns and toads, and everything." . But Madeline retreated, and Nell likewise declined to make the ascent, and Aunt Audrey and Miss Persi3, who had just arrived, held up their hands in speechless horrsr as they saw Joe's brown head poking out between the masses of mossy rocks. As for Faith and the Professor, they had become wearied and tarried by the way. - Nothing could be done. Madeline and Nell clambered down the cliff for ferns and Aunt Audrey wisely kept still. Meanwhile Joe, perched upon a mossy rock, was fanning himself vigorously. " Now, Joe," said Theodore, "give me credit for a clever coup d' etat. I could not get a chance to talk with you without some one interrupting, so I took you up here. I knew none of the rest would dare to follow." ' "Indeed," said Joe, "what did you have to say of. such a private character that it was necessary to clamber up sixty or seventy feet of stones and, dirt lest some one should disturb us ?" . , . , " You, know what I want to say as well aa I do," said Theo, turning very red. It was very warm in the cave. , 1 "I'm sura I haven't the slightest idea. See, what a lovely bug," holding out a very email and very dirty hand. Theo Eeized the unfortunrte beetle and sent it whirling through the opening. Its downward career being arretted by Aunt Audrey's bonnet, the 1 ady responded with a shrill shriek of disgust, and began to descend, "Now, Joe, be sensible. If you won't promise to marry me, I'll take you in my arms and jump down the clLT." ' A wild pcreani of laughter fallowed this astwniihing preposition. "Oh, den't, Theo. don't. Jr.ct think Lo- al-ri we'd look, and, then, I'm sure we'd k rock Aunt Audrey down in onr pasj-ge. Cai't you think cf sjee cikcrv-ay?" " Ch, Joe I Joe !

' High ho, what next, I wonder ?' eaid Joe, looking away into the distance. ' A wedding, I fiuppose," . eaid. Madeline, archly. .."Am I' to congratulate you, Joe, my dear? I'm so glad," she went on, playing caressingly with' Joe'e short curls, " that you took Theo off my hands so nicely. Now Til dare to tell Aunt Audrey that I'm engaged." On the other side of the cliff there were two more exchanging confidences. " Such a delightful flirtation, you know, Nell. He's just old lovely." "Bat to think Aunt Audrey picked him out for me ! As if I'd m.rry anybody with eyeglasses " said Nell, with more emphasis than -was really necessary, considering the fact that she had not been troubled with overwhelming attentions. " Zgot enough of professors in school. No more for me, thank you. Besides, it's dreadfully stupid to be married. I want a season or two in society at any rate." J "And I, too, said Faith, "but oh, Nell, he really is nice. If if but then, as you say, it's, so stupid to be married, though it's lots of fun to be engaged"and a song something like this echoes softly back from the opposite Cliff: ' , Two merry girls from morn till night,4 ' .

M VJjTIJPZ.JCXTX OF XiJEGS. The first fortnight I was in Kentucky I visited about fifteen towns. At dinner, at supper, and even at , breakfast I noticed that at the hotel in each place I seemed to have a prodigious number of what I thought were" fried chicken legs placed before me. Everywhere and at each meal there was nothing but these legs, always fried. And after a few days' experience of this ; kind I began ' to speculate upon the matter, and could not help but. wonder what became of the chickens' bodies and other parts of that domestic bird. There was nothing to eat really but corn bread, the everlasting and immortal bacon, and these above-mentioned legs. In fact, the legs carried everything before them. It was legs ! legs 1 legs I At last, one day six of us sat down to dinner at the Stonewall House, , Kentucky, and, of course, each gentleman had the fried legs set before him. We all felt healthy that day, and each person sent out all of his dishes with an urgent request for an immediate renewal of what they had just . previously contained which, of course, was promptly complied with. Back come two more legs apiece with the vegetables. I did want to make some inquiry on the subject, but as there were two Judges, one Governor one General and one Colonel at the table-with me, I thought it best not to betray ignorance of that section of, the country or its customs. I really was ashamed to asic. The next day I was in another town, and at dinner my experience of the previous day in regard "to" this matter was duplicated, and there was not only a repetition of it, but legs were really more numerous, I noticed one! rash candidate for dyspeptic honor and protective consumer cf quisi3 crd?r"d the third time and received two more legs.

NUMBER 47

The Pivot San. Like Figsjro in the opera, John man appears to have been ia every .herpart of the Louisiana conrpiracy. He was recognized by the chiefs aiL.1 their subordinates of . all degrees is tho zz ier spirit and director of the work to bo done by them ; as the responsible agent of Hayes, and as the man of all "others who knew the situation best, and was ready to meet its demands, of whatever kind they 'might be; Hence. L3 was looked up to by Weils, Anderson, Ilellogg, and the rest cf that crew, as the pivot ixpon .which the whole machine turned. From the highest to the lowest, they au Knew mm, ana bis wora was law to their acts and movements. tThat he was entirely familiar with every part of the operations of the Returning Board, when in secret session, and sometimes singly, as when Wells ordered the " original return of parish to be destroyed, they falsified , figures, forged returns, inserted manufactured protests, and rejected whole parishes upon affidavits fabricated by the cart-load tit the Custom House, is no longer doubtful. . In the part he played then ignorance was impossible, snd the part l.o has played since that time makes it certain, when taken in conneeticn with the proofs that have been produced in a variety, of forms, that txo must have had intimate knowledge of every phase of the conspiracy, as he certainly had acquaintance with the actors who appeared, on the stage, and the machinists who shifted the scenes behind it. No detail was too small for his attention, and, from the day he entered New Orleans as, a visiting statesman until the hour when j the great fraud was consummated, he was the head and front of the conspiracy to steal the Presidency. . When it was achieved, he got the reward which' he chose to ask, and has utilized it, aS he did the Chairmanship of Finance in ; the Senate. . .-. . After Tom Anderson returned to New" Orleans in December, 1876, with the irregular and illegal certificate of Louisiana, which he carried there as a messenger appointed for that purpose, it was necessary, without delay, to get up another in due form. That was done, as has been proven, in the case of Levissee, by forging the names of some of ; the electors who were not present and could not be reached within the time allowed by law. Charles Hill, a carpet-bagger from New Jersey, and an officeholder of course, was detailed to take the forged certificates to Washington, though he had no legal appointment to that effect. Hill was examined by the sub-committee in New Orleans ou the 1st of July, and he was required to relate his experience in delivering the forged certificates to the President pro tempore of the Senate. After stating that he had seen Zach Chandler, to whom he bore a letter from Kellogg, he testified: I went at once to Mr. Ferry, who was in his office at the Capitol. Ilia secretary was there; Mr. Moses, I think, was Li name. No one else was in the room. I told him I bad brought the returns from Louisiani. . Mr. Ferry asked me if I had any one to witness the delivery of the documents to him. I told him I knew Mr. Sherman, for I had me him there, in a f-iWl minutes Mr. Ferry, after stepping out, came in with Mr. Sherman. I then delivered the documents. This delivery was witnessed by Mr. Sherman. He then went to the room. "of the Finance Committee and there wrote me a letter to Oov. neliogg, acEnowieagmg that the re- J turns had been delivered to the vice Prtsutleiit. The letter was a private letter, and I don't know what the contents were. , ' Q. How was it Mr. Sherman was handy to witness the receipt of the returns when yon gave them to Mr. Ferry? A, I don't know except that he was in the Senate chamber or rimm adjoining. . : Q. How often did you see " Mr. Sherman when he was hare wiih the -visiting', stiiesmen ? A.
