One-half of this amount must be removed from bond within this year, and the taxes paid, or be forfeited to the government, and it is whispered that an effort will be made in Congress to give its owners more time. Internal Revenue Commissioner Raum has rendered a decision in which he maintains that every person, firm or company, having a place of buisness where stocks, bonds, bullion, bills of exchange or promissory notes are received for discount or for sale, is regarded in law a?, a banker or as a broker, and that the capital and deposits of such bank or banker are subject to taxation. The Indianapolis Journal says: 'There is good authority for the state ment that, by request of Mrs. Garfield, Dr. Boynton will withhold from the public his promised statement as to the autopsy on- the President's body.

The Catholic bishops of Ireland, in session at Maynooth college, adopted a
resolution that the land act it; of great benefit to tenants, for vyhich the gratitude of the country is due the govern

TirE substance of the information filed against General Brady iu the fraudulent star mail-route case is that he increased the compensation for carrying the mail between Preacott, Ad , and Santa IPe, N. M., from $13,313 a

spell the word. The teacher saw this, and said, "James, you know the rule;
you must go home." James picked up
his can aud left. In a very few min

The certificate has a lithograph of the late President and his photograph, and certifies (blank) has contributed (blank) dollars to the fund for the erection of a monument in Lake View Cemetery to the memory of James A- Garfield, and i signed by the Committee. In his sermon on the death of Presiden t G a r field , Rev. Hen r y Ward Beecher endeavored to impress one lesson particularly upon the minds of ambitious young meu. He said: "Our government may be compared to a stately mansion which many are desirous of enteiing. Some walk boldly up to its front entrance and go in; but others seek to enter by the back way, from which all the refuse comes. By the nature of our constitution we are obliged to send Men to our legislative bodies, aud sometimes the ones selected are not the most suitable persons. But we can not bear to have the public ideal -destroyed and the opinion prevail that he who would enter politics must give up his honor and advance by ignoble means. And when we behold a man struggling honorably for a political career and equipping himself as a statesman, it is an example that honor and integrity are not incompatible with political advancement, and that man's life will be an exampleas Washington's has been."
Gen. Fremont has announced a novel solution of the Indian question.
He proposes that the government of
the United States shall purchase from Mexico, Lower Calf fornia, and place place upon it all Iudian tribes which it is impossible to restrain upon reservations. That territory lies between the Gulf of California aud the PaciQc, has an area of about 60,000 square miles, is uninhabited, and at iits junction with the main land is about eighty miles wide, and most of its northern border is upon a deep river. This would make it easily guarded, and once on there the Indians would be as fastly secure as a fly in a bottle. Here the Sioux, Kiowas, Comanches, Apaches, Utes, and other pestiferous tribes could be congregated and could trespass on no white settlements east, west, north, or south. If any tnbe desired a few scalps, they could be easily accommodated by getting up wars with other tribes, and no one would be any the worse off except the Indians themselves, aud it is probable they would not carry on the r&creation a great while. The region is one of perpetual summer, and there would be a vast saving to the government for blankets and other supplies.
Thirty-two young Indians passed through Chicago, a few days ago, on their way to their tribes and homes, after spending some years at the National school at Hampton, Virginia, Great interest was manifested iu them by the people of Chicago, and, in response to numerous requests, Gen. Armstrong, their custodian, gave an account of the scheme of Indian eduoatcn,from which the following extract U taken. General Armstrong said:
"Seven years ago General Sheridan had dispersed a lot of troublesome Indians, taking
several hundreds of thorn prisoners. Seventy of the wildest and most savage of those prisoners were sent lo the foi l at St. Augustine, and placod under the charge of Lieutenant

HIS SECOND LOVE.
In a dimly-lighted nook of a magnificent conservatory, sheltered from all prying eyes by the dense masses of foliage that surrounded them, sat two people, converging in low and earnest tones, so absorbed in themselves that even the soft melodious strains of lDes Lieben Langen Tag," which floated towards them from the adjacent ball room, upon the still evening breeze failed to draw them from the retreat which they had sought. One, at least, paid no heed to the, aouuds. Time was, and that not long since, that Harold Courthope would have thought the world held no greater bliss for him ihm to hold Eva Cress ingham's "slim waist encircM! by his arm while the y conversed; but now he had more serious thoughts, more ardent wishes concerning her, aud it was to plead for the fulfilment cf those wishes that he had drawm her away from whereshe would fain have stay edy dreading , the explanation which she foresaw was inevitable when Harold, instead of leading her to her placej when he offered his arm for the dance, . for which hhi name stood upon her
daintily-painted little programme, set
down there ojr nis own hand vmh the exquisite gold pencil set with diamonds he had himself presented to her as 'a gage d amour, walked . out of the open, window, across the narrow strip of moon-lit lawn ,and sought this sheltered retreat, where E!va knevv she must at last be forced t5 throw aside all concealment, and shatter at once and for ever the hopes that her own conscience told her all too plainly that ;ahe had fostered. ; " She would have escaped if possible, but it was not to be. Harold held her
too firmly for that, and without attracting notice which she did not consider des ira ble she could hardly release her hand from his arm, so she made a virtue of necessity , and suffered him to lead her where he would, inwrdly quaking, yet none the less resolved upon her course. It must be, she decided. It had been a very pleasant dream while it lasted but a dream that must have come to a close sometime or other, for though she liked Harold very much, she never could be his wife, that was certain.
She was sorry for him, too, sorry that
she had encouraged his attentions and
given him room for hope : but it had
not been of set purpose she had not dreamed of such a result in the begin
ning, and she could only hope that Harold would be sensible and not take
the blow too much toheart.
While he ah! he thought, what
would life be to him without that fair
one by his side!
Fair, indeed, and pleasant to look
upon, was Eva Cressiugbam. A slight but rounded figure of exquisite proportions, surmoun ted by a face and bead most beautiful. Bark, but with the rich, warm hue of sunny South, not that unhealthy sallovness of skin which. characterizes the brunette of our northern latitudes. A mouth like a rosebud, which when the lips parted disclosed teeth of pearly whiteness and perfect regularity; eyes large and melting with liquid tenderness; a wealth of clustering hair, and-cro wniug charm of all 1 that "most excellent thk g in woman," a sweet, melodious voice. . , . J .. Such was Eya Cressiugham, and her companion, in his fresh young manhood, was well fitted by nature as her mate. ? ", '';7 ..: : But it was not to be. He had spoken at last and learned the truth, and there was something of anger in his voice as he made answer: . "Why, if this was to be the end of it all, have you allowed me to nurse such hopes, as you must have perceived to exist, as I have done this half-year past in a fool's, paradise of my own making?13 1 he said, bitterly. "II didn't know I didn't mean," she faltered , her eyes droopitig beneath his. reproach fu I gaze. "Didn't know! Answer :me truly, if you can," he said, v'po you really and truly mean that you cannot be my wife?",,,. , &k.:: . "I really and truly mean I cannot be your wife." And Harold Courthope frowned, aud looked': vexed and disappointed and sad , and even angry at the petite, charming little lady, who had played such terrible havoc with his heart from almost the very first moment he had seen her jutt six months ago r r He had been her most assiduous pre tendu, and had told her weeks before this how he loved her and wanted her for his wife. And the answer had been the same she loved him dearly, dearly, but she could not be his wife, because she had been engaged to Mr. Beilingham for oh, ages, it, seemed to her., ...... - "Bat you don't care for him, Eva, you don't love him, do you?" ,. "No, I don't. How could I,. when I I never even saw him?" "Never have seen Lini? ' Why, is it possible? Never have seen jfonr future your betrothed husband, I mean??' She shook her pretty little head. "No. But papa and he are old friends
aud he is very rich, and very learned, and papa thinks there is no one in the world like Mr. Beilingham." " Your father's old friend ! is that auy reason?" hotly exclaimed Harold, "How can you marry him, and yetrlove me? Co you love me, Eva?" And there was a wonderful thrill of passion in his eager question as he droppetl his dark head toward her race. "Oh, you know it!" she whispered. V'And yet you will not bleak your absurd engagement with a man you nev er even saw." .' The big teais started to Eva's eyes.
and her little rosebud mouth quivered.,
'You are cruel," sne soooed, "to tal k so to m e, when you k a o w how I love y ou. But I cannot disobey papa; I do not wish to go contra jy tS liis wishes.'! "I cannot understand any such sen
timent," he answered hotly. "If you loved me, you wrould give tlais absurd engagement up you would marry me in suite of all the monoy,all the fathers in the world" ' I-1 K "Don't tempt me, Harold, it cannot be you know it cannot be ! I have promised papa to marry Mr. Bellincham, and both he and papa hold me-to my word. There, I must go now. I am engaged to Mnjor Vane for the next waltz. Take me back, please, and don't be angry -with me, Harold dear!" , ?T. And Herold escorted her oack to the ball-room, where ho resign ed her to her partner without another word.
