And then I need never have troubled a Mr. Derrick.' *Why didn't you know of it? Because

I didn't choose you should, nor spend it either. Let me tell jrou, when I saw that ring among Derrick's things, when Wheatly showed me it, I supposed you had given it as a love token.'

Oh, then the ring is safe, after all? Safe} the deuce do you call this .safe?' holding up the two fragments of the ancient heir-lopm. Safe with a ven-

And Rose went. It is ten years since Miss Vandeveer left her uncle's door to earn her own bread, and since that time Mr. Vandeveer has paid. the debt of nature, to be sure, but his estate has. proved insolvent. In the meantime, if Vandevetr's fortunes are on the wane, Austin Gregory's have increased. lie is a rich man to-day-rich enough to marry a king's daughter to-day it he wanted, her. But during this decade he has no tidings of the girl he left behind him. He imagines that he has given up thinking about her, and has diverted his mind With profits on wool but in truth she is always in hitf thoughts and he cannot shut her out. Sbe enters in all her dehonair beauty, as he beheld tier last, with a blush on her dimpled cheek, a smile on her lips, and a light in her eyes as they meet his, more eloquent than words. He has forgotten that it i6 possible for that rose hue to blanch, for that smile to fail—'nothing of her that doth fade," to his mind's eye. But he found out long ago that he did not owe his start in life to Morgan. On first reaching Shearing Station ho had said, with effusion, "You're surely the best fellow in the world, Morgan?. can never do too much for you, and no amount of.money will repay your friendship," and Morgan had stared a little at such a gush, and merely answered, "I only did as I'd be done by—let a fellow have an even chance." And not till several years later did he discover that Morgan was ignorant and innocent of the transaction but he felt as if he would rather be penniless than indebted for it to Mr. Derrick yet as Derrick knew nothing of Morgan, would he have been likely to U6e his name? However, to make assurance doubly sure, he wrote Mr. Derrick, and naturally receiving

reply."he put the question by." To be sure, he promised himself from time to time that he would go back to the old place and see Derrick about it, and ferret out his unknown benefactor but ten years had elapsed before he could find the leisure. He set out on the morning after his arrival to find Derrick's office but, lo! another reigned in his stead. "I'm atraid I've made a blunder," he explained "I am looking for Mr. Angus Derrick's office. Can you direct me?" •Derrick? There's no such lawyer in the city as I'm aware of. Here, Blotter, get out the directory and look for Derrick,'

Austin returned to his hotel. 'Can you tell itie anything about a Mr. Derrick?' He asked of the landlord. •Never heard of the fellow,' 6aid he. 'I ain't a native of these parts rriyself was raised in the Granite State. Ever hear anything of a fellow named Derrick, Dwi nedle?' he asked of an antiquated barroom loafer. 'Lawyer Derrick?' mumbled Dwindle. 'Ye ain't got nothing chalked down agin him, hev ye? Bless ye, he's paid up old scores and gone to his "account these ten years. If ye waiit him, ye'll hev to look for him pn Burying Hill, I recon 'Dead!' said Austin. 'Where shall 1 find his widow?'

Widder? I never heerd tell of her. He didn't leave such a poweriul lump of money as was expected, neither. Lawyer Wheatly settled things. He's an older man than I be, Lawyer Wheatly is, not to Qay richer. He lives with his 6on's folks in Fortunate Row has the asthmy terrible.*

Mr. Gregory betook himself to Fortunate Row without delay. As he was ushered into the hall, a slender woman was marshalling a bevy ot rosy children toward the school-room. She did not turn her head, though she must have known that a 6tranger had entered but for an instant a pale weary face, like that of some ghost, was reflected faintly in the great mirror lining the further end of the«hall, as if a spirit had passed by, while one of the childred cried, 'Oh, dear Miss Van, do let me see who has come iit! it maybe papa with the rocking-horse:' and then followed the tinkle of a bell with the subdued murmur of little silvery voice8. And once or twice the school-room door opened suddeuly, as if ssme one liad looked in, and a chorus of cries issued, 'Has papa come? Does jt look like alive horse? Miss Van says it •will have a mane! Bob says it will kick —guns kick!' in a volley of interrogations. And presently old Mr. Wheatty shuffled into the library, and Austin opened his case. 'N®, Sir,' said Mr. Wheatly, 'there

silly superstition about the ring— aitd turned hfer tfut ot doors.' 'Out of doors!—Rose out ot doors!* 'Ahem! and so she wanted the money for you? That's the sequel, eh? Murder will oat.'

'Turned Rose out of doors—ten yean, ago!' cried Austin, white and quivering, with his hand already on the door, as it'

LET JUSTICE BE DONE. Dr. James B. Armstrong was way laid and foully assassinated while engaged in the praitice of his profession, near Terre Haute, a few months ago. His brother and the city tnd county authorities publicly offered a reward for the apprehension and arrests of the murderers. So secretly had the crime been committed that it appeared improbable that any clue could be discovered whereby the murderers could be identified. So general was this impression that with the stimulus of 11 ooo reward no special effort was attempted by those whose profession fitted them for the work.

In this 6tate of suspense the matter rested for days, when two plain men, citizens of Rosedale, in this county, Dr. Baldridge ar.d S. D. Denehie, on their own option, and tor reasons satisfactory to them, arrested McKenna, one of the murderers, and delivered him to the authorities ol Vigo county. McKenna confessed the crime and implicated Flowers, his accompice, and gave the information where he then was in the city of Terre Haute. Flowers was found there and arrested. Both McKenna and Flowers have had their trial and found guilty, and are now serving, each, a life term 1.1 the penitentiary. -:/.h

And yet the reward tyis not been paid to Baldridge and Denehie who are clearly entitled to it. It has not only not been paid, but certain Terre Haute men and officials are actually claiming the reward and trying to deprive these plain citizens of Parke county of their just dues. It is a shame and a scandal, and we trust the city of Terre Haute and Dr. Wm. P. Armstrong will see to it that these men get the reward which they, and thev only, have the right to claim,—[Rockville Republican... "These men" doubtless deserve some Of the reward, and will get it. They won't get all, and don't deserve ail. The difference between "these men" and certain parties here in Terre Haute, who certainly did a very great deal, will have to be arbitrated. Everybody who had anything to do with the case claims the reward. Will the editor of the Republican seryg as one of the arbitrators

A LITTLE GAME

Willed BooAe Wall Street Bharpen Tried

Play tbe Ohio 4t Mia

•Mim-tlceilsa troaetn. CnrourxAXi, October 11.—At the meeting of the directors of the Ohio A Missis* sippi railroad company, held to-day, in Cincinnati, Hon. K. M. Bishop, governor elect of Ohio, and General Kenner Garrard, of Cincinnati, were elected to fill the vacancies causea by the resignation of SirA.T. Gait and Danidl Torrance, ^.t a subsequent meeting of the stockholders, convened according to law, Measis. Wui. Whitenright, jr., W. W. Scarborough, Adrian Iselin, and Theo. G. Meier, were elected to complete the board for the ensuing year. It is understood that after the adjournment of the regular Meting of stockholders a dissatisfied few, consisting of several Wall street broken who appeared with the proxies of those who have long since parted with their stock, and having no real interest in the property of the company have been defeated in their efforts to secure a representation in the board, organised a meeting of their own, withont previous notice or authority of law, and elected four directors. These so-called directors and pretended stock stockholders thereupon reduced the buittd ot directors to nine instead oi fourteen, as fixed by the by-laws of the company, and immediately elected five others as directors ot the company, and having thus organised a bogus board, resolved that the future meetings of the directors should be held in New York and the office of the corn pany removed to that point. The regular board organised by electing General Louis B. Parsons, of St. lauis, president of the company. This movement is looked upon here as similar in character to that which was made several years ago by the endeavor of Jay Gould, by bimilar tactics to get possession of this property.

Of these 23 states it is now certain that Alabama, Arkansas, California, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Maryland, Missouri, North Carolina, Ohio and South Carolina will xeturn Democrats, while it can only he said to becertain that Iowa, Kansas, New Hampshire and Vermont will re-elect Republicans, and it is only by an excess of fairness that New Hampshire is included. The Democrats are therefore certain of getting eleven where tbey will only lose eix senators, and as Louisiana, which has now no representative in the senate, sends anew senator in March, 1879, the Democrats can be said to be sure of 12 new senators. Now as 27 Democrats and only 22 Republicans will hold over, without counting Davis of Illinois, whose position is not definitely known, or the two senators from Louisiana and South Carolina, who have not yet been admitted, it will be seen that the Democrats are already sure of 3d voles after March 4,1879, and have not to carry a single one of the doubtful states to get a majority. This will be the case even if Kellogg and Corbin are seated and Davis votes with the Republicans. If, however, Davis votes with the Democrats and Spofford and Butler are admitted, thesenate will be 8 majority, even if Bepublican senators should be returned from Connecticut, Illinois, Indiana, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. It will be admitted that there is not the faintest possibility of this event, and there is something more than a possibility that Democrats will be elected in every one of these eight states classed as doubtful. This would give the Democrats 24 majority, as the vote would stand 50 Democrats to 26 Republicans, and it will indicate what an extraordinary change of power is soon to be brought about by the will of the people.

iCommunism Carried Ohio, sq (Jay Mould's New York Tribune.) Communism has carried Ohio. No doubt dislike of the president's course toward the south cost eome Republican votes, but nearly all those who voted the Democratic ticket heartily approve that course, as do the majority of Republicans. Many votes were loHt in consequence of the inactivity of officials or the dislike of mistaken methods and too palpable blunder* of the administration yet it is certain that a large msjority of citizens of both parties approve the endeavor

curb the undue influence of office holdere in parly management, and though they may not judge the president's method the wisest possible,sincerely wish success to his aims. Btit the one solid aud certain fact id that the communistic spirit has swept Ohio. The distinctive advocates of communistic notions polled an unexpectedly large vote. It is not wise to hide the fact that financial heresies have made dangerous progress in Ohio since 1875. The platform of the Republicans this year was a fatal encouragement of the very spirit which has defeated them. The speech of Mr. West gave still more encouragement to that spirit, and disgust ed many sound Republicans. It ought to be added that the outcry for remonetiaation of silver had precisely the same effect. It made thousands hostile to the policy which the Republican party had pursued and is still pursuing. As for the resolution in regard to railroads, it was meant to catch votes, but, like many other nieces of demagogism, defeated itself. Weik yielding to every gust of popular feeling does not make a party strong. Perhaps the Republicans of Ohio, if they had realized that it was necessary to fight the communistic spirit this year and every year, in order to win at all, would have spared themselve some humiliation. As long as they forfeit the confidence of sound and sincere men by such yielding, and stimulate the very spirit which is at th° bottom of the moet intense hostility to Republican measures and principles, theywiil richly earn defeats. Opposition to the president's southern policy .will soon pass away. Real reform in the public service will commend itself to public approval as far as its fruits are seen but the spirit of inflation, repudiation, ahd hostility to the rights of property is one which has to be fought continually and without compromise.

An old manuscript found recently at La'Rochelle, contains seme interesting particulars on the Maid ot Orleans who, far from being a fair woman, as some artists haVe depicted, was very dark her hair was cut like a page, and straight across the forehead and she. wore a manly dress, "poUrpointnoir, chaussee attachees, robe courte de gros gris noir et- un chap eau noir not a very attractive costume This document, which has been published in the Revne Hisorique throwl some light on Count Suffolk and the siege of Jargeau. as well as on the tria of La Pucelle.

Madame de Aguero, Prim's mother-in-law, has just died at Paris. When the Marshal was shot at Madrid, receiving seventeen wounds, his old mother was lying seriously ill at Barcelona. She heard of the attack, but died in ignorance of its fatal results, for Prim's widow, counterfeiting her husband's handwriting, wrote to the poor old dame from day to day letters full of pious frauds about how slight his wounds were and how favorable the prospects were of his speedy recovery.

One of the most fashionable dress makers of Paris'recently told an Amei kan that she had never before made so many or such costly morning wrappers as during the past year, and that Parisian fashionables now received their intimate frienda and early callers in that garb, simply it was the only one in which they could be at once stylish and eomfortable. zm

JBlevea Hstms Ike Battle(Ma sa« la lbs CsnM/rtfes Marl. Mark Twain made the following speech at a banquet of the Putnam phalanx at .Hertford the other night

I wouldn't have missed this for a great deal. I did not assemble at the hotel parlors to be received by a committee a mere civilian guest. No. I assembled at the headquarters of the Putnam phalanx and insisted upon my right to be guarded to this place as one of the military guests. [Applause and laughter.] For I, too, am a soldier. I am inured to war. I have a military history. 1 have been through a stirring campaign, and there is not even a mention of it in any history of the Unijed States or of the Southern confederacy. [Laughter.] To such, lengths can the envy and malignity of the historian go. I will unbosom my self here, where I cannot but find sympathy. I will tell you about it, and appeal through you to justice. In the earliest summer days of the- war I stepped out of .Hannibal, Mo., by night [laughter] with a friend, and joined a detachment of the rebel Gen. Tom Harris' army (I find myself in a great minority here.) Up a gurge behind an old barn in Ralls county. Col. Rail swore us in. He made us swear to uphold the flag and constitution of the United States, and to destroy any other military organization that we caught— doing the same thing. [Qreat laughter.] In other words we were to repel invasion. Well, you see that mixed us. We could not really tell which side we were on bat we went into camp and left it to the God of battle—which was the custom in that day. I was made second lieutenant and chief mogul of a company ot elerenmen, who didn't know anything about war—ol anything. We had no captain. My friend, who was nineteen years old, si* feet high, three feet wide and some distance through, and just out of the infant school, was made orderly sergeant. His name was Ben Tupper, and he had a hard time. When he was mounted and on the march, he uaed to go tQ. sleep and, his horse would reach arotind ana bite his leg, and he would cry, andcurae, and waBt to go home. The other men pestered him a good deal, too. When they were dismounted they said they couldn't march in double file with him, because his feet took up so much room. One night, when we were around the camp fire, a fellow on the outside of the circle, in the cold, said, "Ben Tupper, put down that newspaper, it casts a shadow like a blanket." Bensaid, "I ain't got any newspaper." Then that other fellow said, On, I Bee, it's your earl" [Laughter.] We all slept in acorn crib on the Corn, and the rats were very thick. Ben Tupper had been carefully and rigidly reared, and when he was ready for bed he would start to pray, and a rat would bite him on the heel, and then he would sit up and swear all night [laughter] and keep everybody awake. He was town-bred, and did not seem to have any correct idea of military discipline. If I commanded him to shut up he would say, "Who was your nigger last year?," One evening I ordered him to ride out on picket duty about three miles to the beginning of a prairie. Said he, "What,in the night I and them blambcd union soldiers likely to be prowling around there any time." So he would not Next morning I ordered him again. said, "In the .rain?" He didn't go again. Next day I ordered him on picket duty once more. This time he looked hurt. "What! on Sunday? You must be a durned fool." Picketing was impracticable, so I dropped it from my military system. We had a good enough time there at that barn, barring the rain and the rats and the mosquitoes and thinga* We lived on both parties impartiaMy, and both pai ties hated us impartially. But one day we heard that the invader was approaching, so we had to

iack up and move. Inside of twentyhoars the invader was coming again so we moved again. And next day 'he was after us once more. We didn't like it much, but we moved (laughter) rathfer than to make trouble. This went on for a week or ten days, and we saw considerable scenery. Then Ben Tupper lost patience. He savs, "War is not what it is cracked up to be. I'fa going to go home if I can't ever get a chance to sit down a minute. Why do these people keepns a-humping around so? Blame their skins, do tbey think this is an excursion?" Some of the other town bovs began to grumble. They complained that there was an insufficiency of. umbrellas, and' then they complained that the Worcestershire sauce was out.1 There was mutiny and dissatisfaction all around, and, of course, here came the enemy pesin, two hours—more than two hours—before breakfast, and nobod

tering us again re—before breakfast, and nobody wanted to turn out at that hour. This was a little too much. The whole command felt insulted. I detached one of my aids, and sent him to the brigadier, and asked him to assign us to a district where there wasn't so much bother going on.
