WHERE IS i-OVE.

tBfae pressed her finger, oil the spring And set the captive free, 'With "Go, my little golden wing,

And find where.Love may be!"

He paused a moment at the door, Be scanned the open eky, And trilled a light farewell befoie

He spread biawings to fly. Then out and upward went her bird .Upon his happy quest, Far, far, until the ennlight blurred

The yellow of his1 breast.

.And lonely were the hours and long She waited once to hear s-ys The-notes of his familiar song

Uplifted, liquid, clear.

But at the morning's osy break. There in his-cage above, He sang again: "Awake! Awakel

Where you dwell, here is Lovel" —'.Amelia Doerner in Chicagp Record.

A NOVEL DUEL.

Be wasan old war ohfef,-with, a spotless -past and a splendid renown. He bad been fighting in Africa, first,aa a common soldier, .then with the double star-shining brilliantlyupon the sleeves of »bis tanio.

He bad mingled in theferocioua assaults at the Btorming of Sevastopol. He bad taken part inisbe great battles of the campaign in Italy. Adored by bis men, beloved by Me officers, respected by the enemy, bis whole career bore witness to bis incomparable bravery, his Incorruptible integrity.

The campaign of France waB just beginning, and he was placed, as usual, in the position to wbich his gallantry and bis successes entitled him—leading the advance guard. His divisions formed the first barrier that the enemy would encounter. He was one of those upon ,whom fell the task of checking, of turning back if possible, those threatening forces creeping across the frontier through the break at Wlsscmbourg, swelling, broadening out, stretching from side to side, an endless line, marching against our regiments.

Battle wns in tbo air. One felt it beside him. Tomorrow or ne*t day would deliver tbem to it.

Just at this time, too, suddenly as a thunderbolt, a frightful torture fell upon this old chief. An ugly rumor had comc to his ears—bow it matters not—an ugly rumor concerning a member of his family —she who was nearest and dearest to him, bis beautiful young wifo.

Calumny Is always infamous, but also always skillful. It bud chosen—to make the thing more probable still—to link with hers the nameof a young officer of his own staff, the bravest and handsomest of all. This was Albert de Rancet, aid-de-camp to this old soldier, whom, they said, be (De Rancet) bad betrayed.

At first tho old chief believed nothing duplloity disgusted him, villainy astonished and found him incredulous. It seomed to bin* impossible that tbo uniform oould cover tho soul of a felon.

But this morning, under the shock of tho revelation that had come in the explicit words and charges of this rumor, he had thrown upon lie Ronoet a stern, searching glance, ond he saw—he knew that ho saw—in that face, always hitherto so fronk and opon, a sudden trouble that sought to hide itself from his oyo.

A thousand Incidents came back to his memory, a thousand others to prove them true, and all tbo while that be was giving his orders for tho day, his breast oppressed by an Intolerable anguish, he was asking himself: "Is it true? Is it true? Can it possibly bo true?"

He—this man before bim, whom bo bad loved liko a son 1 She—to whom, not content with giving bis name and tendernoss, ho had sought by every moans in his power to glvo an existence hoppy and envied, and who for days and days had wept such floods of bitter tears on seeing him starting upon this campaign. Tears for him? No. Ho understood everything now. To.nrs for tho other, whom be in leaving hod carried away.

The other—that is to say, that young, elogant officer—whom ho had taken upon his stuff at first for his name and his manner and hecauso It was nccessary that ho, sinco his master, theemporor, desired it so, should have a brilliant staff.

How he had helped him too! How he bad pushed him forward, leaving no single thing undone to niako him, De Rancet, climb mare quiokly tho different grades of his many promotions! Why, only a weok ago hu had raised him, that Judas traitor, to tho glorious ranks of tho Legion of Honor. Upon whoso persuasions? Groat God! Upon hers—his wife's her persuasions only!

A dull fury lnvadod bis soul as ho thought of thwso tilings and realised their meaning. Nevertheless ho hold up his hood as calm apparently as evor to thoso who surrounded him and to whom ho was giving his last instructions before the impending struggle.

All the while, bowover, he was thinking, ail tho while planning, and his voioo as he talkod grew so low-and hoarso that ho scarcely recognized it as his own. "And now, messieurs," said ho, "there is one thing more. It is my intention to inform myself exaotly, apart from the re ports of tho spies, of tbo enemy's precise position. At 10 o'clock, then, this morning there will bo a reconnoissanco, headed by mo, your commander in chief—a reoonnoissanco, I said, not an expedition. I shall require to accompany mo, therefore, but ouo or two officers—you, De Ranoet, for ono, and tho commandants, Lastic and Pontine. Behind us will follow a single squad of dragoons. Rendezvous here in 20 minutes. Messieurs, au re voir I"

Half an hour later tho little troop was ready and soon defiling at a slow trot of tho horses past regiment after regiment, fortified or camped each side of the route.

The chief rode alone in advance, erect and stately on his own great roan charger, his eyes upon tho line of the horizon, lost under the hop vines and swarming already perhaps with the enfant* perdus of tbo enemy. His face was singularly palo to those who know bim, the ruddy pink of his cheeks faded to a yellow pallor.

Bat thoy had passed the French outposts now and ware In the open country. The chief waved his hand his officers approached. "I think, messieurs," said ho, but without halting, "that It won't bo long now before we roe something. Commandant* Lastic and Pontine, bid the escort ride 60 pntws behind and remain behind with them. You, De Hancot, ride with me. AU watch well and keep your eyes open for that which Is before us."

The aUl-rfo-camp, with a light and graceful bound of his horse, drew up to bis chief, but still, as mark of respeoi perhaps, a little behind him. "Nearer, nearer, I say." And the old chief obliged his aid to rite side by side with bin, both of them sparring forward at a sweeping trot, wf Ue behind them

came always the even jog, jog-df -the accompanying dragoons. Albert de Rancet kept a quiet face, though inwardly wondering—for still he guessed nothing of the meaning of bis old chief's new ways—inwardly wondering at this queer promenade. Certainly:it was pretty enough on this radiant April morning, only it might be passible to conduct it too far, for none knew better than he the reckless bravery of him they affectionately called "the patron" in the intimate comradeship of tbo bivouac fire.

Nothing stirred yet about tbem, though it seemed to the listening aid-de-camp that now and then in the distance iebeard a dull roar, the sullen humming of flying projectiles, those bees of war ceeking to rest upon living flowers, and felt a shudder of the ground, covered with hop vines and dumps of bushes, behind which :no one knew what was preparing itself.

Reflecting this, De Rancet unconsciously relaxed bis pace, falling behind a trifle, and again the old chief turned with-a curt: "What are you doing there, DeBancetf I told you beside me!"

With the words there came a shot. a flash of fire from the gulley below them, screened by that heap of bramble bushes adjoining the path along which they were going. They saw a man, a German foot soldier, save himself running, bentdouhle, dodging from cover to cover, at the flame time changing his cartridge to fire again.

The second shot went over their beads. Breathless from running, the gunner's hand had become unsteady. "My general," said the aid, respectfully touching his arm, "this is growing too risky a business for you. Shall we wheel at the crossroads yonder and put the fields between us and such dangerous hornets?"

For the first time since they had started the old chief's stern eyes were bent full upon tho face of his questioner. There was a flame in their depths that made De Ranoet quail.

What was the matter with him, his old chief, this day? What did bo mean by looking at him so? Could anything havo happened? Could any one have told bim? Did the old man know?

For the first time, too, De Rancet began ito understand. This was ho simple reconnoissance, this strange promenade before .the enemy upon whioh his old obief bad brought him. This was a duel, a duel to the end, between bim and death, between him and his benefactor, the man he had wronged. This was also perhaps an execution.

The old chief spoke. "De Rancet," 6oid be coldly, inflexibly pointing to bis 6ide, "I told you to ride here!"

And always they moved on, the old obicf erect and pitiless and showing to the enemy his breast, starred with medals, the aid beside him erect also, a bravo soldier even" then, and marching, both of them, with the frightful serenity of those about to die.

And in the radiant silence of that country drowned In sunlight one beard but the softened hammering of the horses' feet pounding tho sod in measured rhythm.

All at once the silence was broken by a sharp orackle of musketry. As the rod flame licked the thicket De Rancet set spurs to bis horse and bounded forward, as if to welcome the ohoioe that death bad made, for it was he, it was he, the ball had roaobed.

He threw out his arms, bfs eyes grew dim, a red hole showed in his brow, and softly, gently he swayed from tho saddle to the ground.

The general stopped the escoft pricked forward. "Messieurs," sold he, "now I am ready to return. Two men dismount and pick up the body."—From the French,

o?3L

friends tie lng the general's connection with the cot ton claiiUB,which arose out of the seizures by tho government during the late war and were before the courts in Washington a long time before the claimants wore victorious. This man, who has been in active, practice at the Suffolk bar manyyoars and got the story from General Butler's own lips, says tho goncral did not como into possession of the famous yacht Aimrica by purchase, as generally supposed, but by gift, in tho following manner:

After tho cotton claims bad been pressed unavallingly for some time tho Hon. L. Q. C. Lamar, who was interested in them and later was himself on the supreme bench of the United States, Induced General Butler to take up tho case ond press it to a termination. Butler was finally succcssful In his suit and received a cheok for $85,000 from, bis gratified clients. Mr. Lamar also wrote him a letter in which he stated that ho and bis friends understood that tho general was an enthusiastic yachtsman, and as they had come into possession of tho old America after she had been raisod from the spot where she had been sunk os a blockade runner during the war thoy would bo pleased if ho would accept her as a gift, showing their further appreciation of his efforts in their bohalf. This story, tho writer's Informant says, ho believes to bo entirely true.—Boston Herald.

iJ^y^The Air In Mines. A simple test for noxious gases In the air of mines Is explained by a writer in Tho Colliery Guardian, fingland. For detecting carbonic oxide, methane, etc., a dilute solution of potassium permanganate,contain log a little nitrlo acid, is found highly efficient, the effect of such gases being to decolorize the permanganate solution. The reaction goes on more rapidly when the solution also contains silver nitrate, one part of carbonic octldo to from 600 to 5,000 parts of air decolorizing the liquid in from 1 to 84 hours. The reagent consists of two or three grams of silver nitrate crystals dissolved in one liter of water then for the potassium permanganate solution one liter of disttlled water boiled with a few drops of pure nitrlo acid freo from hydrochloric acid, a little permanganate solution being added until the liquid becomes rose colored, In order to destroy any organic matter which may have found access to the water, as dust, etc. When cold, one gram of potassium permanganate crystals Is dissolved in the water and 60 cublo centimeters of nitric acid added to it. In practice 80 cublo centimeters of the first or silver nifctate solution, one of the permanganate solution and one of pure nitric acidar® mixed and made up to 60 cubic centimeters with distilled water freed from organic matter. The reagent la to be used Immediately.
