Hcorea of Propositluiin Offered as Cure fur Labor Troubles.

Comnilssioncr John D. Kernan, of New York, one of thoie appointed by the Presi­dent to investigate the Pullman strike, has been engaged in making a synopsis of the remedies that had been proposed to the commission. Mr. Kernan says there were many remedies suggested during the testimony, but the main onef were tlio Government ownership of railroads, the licensing of railroad employes, similar to the system of licensing steam­boat engineers and pilots, arbltra-

1 tion and the restriction of Irnnilgratlon I Mr. i*ullman suggested no remedy, us ho takes the position that no outside remedy can be brought in between employer and

^ employed. The commission is free to deal ' wlih the question of remedies outside of ‘ those suggested at the hearings, but the I testimony brought out every conceivable ' plan and it Is not nocessury to go beyond

tliose suggested. “It will bo for the public i to say wliether the inquiry results in bene- I fit,” added Mr. Kernan, “but it will cer­tainly bo beneficial in giving the public

j exhaustive information on the causes and j Incidents of the great strike, and Intelli­gent Information is the first step towards remedial legislation.”

REVERSED IN PART,

Jenkins' Famous Northern Pacific Injunc­tion Will Not St iiid.

Judge Jenkins’ famous strike Injunction was overruled Monday by the United State.s Circuit Court of Appeals at Chicago and tlio case whs remanded wltli directions to strike out from the restraining or.lcr of tlio court the clause wliich aroused the country when the order was Issued and which resulted in the Roatner in­vestigating comnilttoo of Congros.s. The Court of Appeals decided lliat no court could compel a man or a body of men from quitting Individually or In a body the service of an employer. The court said that Judge Jenkins had ex­ceeded hls powers when he enjoined the employes of the receivers of the N rthern Facilic Railroad ( onipany “from quitting the service of said receivers, with or wltliout notice, so as to cripple the the property or prevent or hinder the operation of said railroad.” It, how­ever, held that the section should stand In which the men were prohibited “from combining and conspiring to quit, with or without tioiico. the service of said receivers, with the object atid Intent of crippling the property In tholr custody, or embarrassing tlio operation of said railroad.” Tlio decision was considered by the lawyers who packed the court­room as one of the most important opinions delivered In the United Slates In a decade. It defines the status be­fore the law of labor organizations in their conduct of strikes, and affirms the powers of courts of equity to interfere hy injunction when there Is reason to be­lieve that the law will be violated. It holds that men may withdraw In a body from the service of an employer, using, however, neither force, throats, periecu- lloTi not intimidation towarJ employes who do not join them, nor must they use any “iovlce” to molest, hinder, alarm or Interfere with others who desire to take tholr placea

TO COLLECT INCOME TAX.

Treasury Department Alrea<ly I’repiringto Carry tlie^Law Into Effect.

Vigorous preparations are being made by the internal revonue officials of tho Treasury Department to (‘nforce tlie in­come tax law next January. Appjlnt- ments for special agents’ duty are now un­der consideration by tho Secretary and tho Commissioner. It Is tho intetition of tho administration to employ only men ao- qu,alnted with the localities wherein they are at work. Those familiar with tlto business and property and in­comes of tlio leading citizens .are to be preferred. Already it haa been discovered that a largo number of wealthy people liave .arrange! to avoid tho payment of tho tax under the new law by dividing tliolr property among members of tnelr own families. In States where an Inheritance t:ix Is imposed several persons have divided their prop­erty :imoijg their children to escape the State tax. This division also wetrks against tho collection of the new I’o leral tax. One feature of tho law specially drafted to meet c.ases like this will upset the calcula­tions of many who now feel themselves safe from Federal Interference. It Is that any transfer of property or change of own­ership for the purpose of avoiding the pay­ment of Income tax which has taken place within two years prior to the j assage of tho new tariff bill will not be recognized by tho Goverumont.

The robber who pre­viously elimbod ui on the traincu tured tho hcad-brakeman andcompelled him to turn on the air brakes and stop the train.

While he was searching for ox])ro3s treas­ures tho two bandits guarded each side of tho train. When tho b y came from tho « ar the trainmen, who were under tho 1 audits’ guns, were «om- pellod to march with tho bandits a short di'tance into tho bushes.

uvroTnr.TicAL casi-:.

A man travels about the eomitry and advertises a.s his exclusive busiin'ss, that of extracting toi-th without pain. He publishes the Htuteinent that: “mor<‘thaii eight thousand of the best peoj)le in this country have lasui his [latrons within (la? past four years.” “Charges, oHcentsper tooth.” With two thousand patients per year, uinl, on an average several teeth for each jiatient, he uIHrms an in-1 ,conu' of several thousand dollai’s per! year for the last four yivirs. Ih.-ing neither registered nor In eiised as the law reijuii :‘P, he is put on trial for an allegtsl violation of the law for the regulation (B the jiractice of ilentistry in the state of Michigan. 1 b* conceiles that he is neither registered nor licejised under the dental I law. He allirnis the truth of his advei’-i tisements, and introduces his patients as j witnesses who testify to he extracting ( and that it was done well md painlessly.

In his own bi'lialf, under oath,liestates that he was a soldier, is now in ill health, and dravss a j»en.sioM of only six dollars per moiitii; that for twenty years h<‘ practi(?ed as a physician and surgeon, tint that now his only business and his only way of earning a living, is that of ex­tracting l<‘etli. .More than this, we will imagine the defendant sitting, facing the iur.V) weeping, hccanse (fonhned to a busi­ness which has yielded him sev'eral thousand dollars per yea'', for the j>ast four years, lie dares not make oath that he is legist(>red anywhere as a Tih.ysieia i ai il .■^negeou, but introduces one of Ids oa d(‘iits who tesliliew that he iiet a bioken I»o i for hiseliild,y<*arsago.

TlieSuK^.It is the opinion of the true gourmet

that of all marine panlish there is none to compare with the smelt (Osmerus mordax). This primary rank is its own by reason of its delicacy and delicious flavor, and when fried a light brown in very fine bread crumbs and served with melted butter there is none that dis­putes its pre-eminence. Its delightful flavor, however, as well as its peculiar odor is evanescent. Like the mackerel, it cannot bo too fresh.

It is from its odor that the smelt de­rives not only its familiar but Latin naino, an odor so aggressive of sliced cucumbers that, if its presence be mani­fest only to the sense of smell, people are often deluded into such supposition. This odor is not marked except in the freshly caught fish and disappears in the cookiug, giving place, however, to a fitting re.surrection of the smelt to an olfactory sense still more savory and de­lightful —Market Review.

Tlie same authority <le- litH's a surgeon as follows: Surgeon, one whose pi-of(?ssioii or occupation is to cure diseases or injiuies of tin? body by manual operation; one whose occupa­tion is to Clin* local injuries or iliseascs, wliethcr by inaniml operations, or by iiK.'dicntion and cou.stitut ional tn?al nient.

Tlie prosecuting attorney in the case argued limt the langnagi? of the law as cxiilained by the above definitions, whidi were carefully rea<l to the jury, vejy clearly draws the line ol si'paratron between the two jirofessions, at the ivoint where general surgery eoases and where dental surgery, as a specialty, fom- meiices.

All the aliovo was submitted to a jury of six intelligent, honest, eonseientious citizens, wlio took solemn oaths to “ren­der a verdict in the ease, according to tin* law and the evidence.” The naider should bear in mind that the word “symiiathy” is not found in the law, and is not contained in the oath that the jurors took.

CHICKEN AND HONEY.A FORAGING EXPEDITION OF ONE

MAN IN THE WINTER OF 1863.

LMUg Koi-w the Country aod Also UnmanNature, For Ul« Little Blnir Worked.Fojcle Joe, Who Wan “Cap’n”Then, Likedlll« Chicken Done llrown.

“It was a wretched night back in 11^03,” said Undo Joe.

Undo Joo’s stories of the war wero things to be lnok(>d forward to and re­membered. Ho had served during the entire four years as a commissioned offi­cer uikI knew whereof he spoke, having an excellent memory and an inimitably humorou.s way of telling the adventures of himself and his 1114*11.

“It was in ^Missouri in the winter of 1803 on a cold raw night that I, the offi­cer of the (lay, jircpan'd about midnight to make, with half a dozen of the guard, what is called the ‘grand round, ’ or, more plainly speaking, the visiting of the soldiers doing picket duty at their diflerciit posts. Wo xvero on sliort ra­tions, ami every man of us, officer or private, longed for a good, scpiare meal to brace liiiii up against the raw, damp t >ldiiess of the night. As I was about to spring into my saddle a low voice at my slioulder said:

“ ‘Cap’ll, how would a supper of chick­en and honey taste?’

“I swung hastily around and beheld tlie spt aker. Ho was a fellow called Lang, one of our most valuable spie.s, and in some respects a mighty clever fellow, hut in—oh, well. I’ll let it go by saj’iiig that his moral nature had never been overdeveloped. Ho was a short, thickset man, with twinkling black eyes ami otherwise the most thor­oughly impassive face I ever looked into. It wa.s said of liim that ho would slip into tlie butternut suit of the rebel and make himself much at liomo in Lee’s army. Ho was liail fellow well met with all the men and came back to the Union lilies jiosscssed of the most invaluable information. Ho had expe­rienced thrilling adventures and was a man of intrepid courage.

“ ‘Cap’ll,’ ho repeated as ho stood be­side mo tliat cold night, ‘how would a supper of cliickca ami homy taste?’

“ ‘Excellent, Lang, excellent,’ I re­plied, thinking of our limit(‘d supply of smoked moat and hard tack. ‘Have you soiiKf?’

“ ‘Xo, hut I might get some, I reckon, if I looked round a hit, ’ he drawled, laz­ily kicking up clay with the too of his hoot. I saw immediately that he meant to go out of camp, timl a farmhouse ami help himself. Such things aro not un­heard of in the army.

“‘Nonsen.se, Lang,’ said I. ‘You would ho killed sure if you went. The pickets aro on extra sharp lookout to­night, and it’s altogether tcHi dangerous. You would never come hack alive.’

“Wilii that 1 sprang into my saddle and rode away, followed by my men.

“Wo wero gone two or three hours, making the rounds of the picket.s ami a more miserable ride I had seldom tak­en. I was chilled to the bone and hun­gry and my men likcwi.se. As I rode hack toward camp the glow of a bonfire in a remote corner caught my eye, ami 1 immediately turned my weary horse toM’ard it. Before the crackling heap sat Lang, calmly frying chicken, while at .his side reposed a hive of honey. Ho looked up and smilisi griiuly.

“ ‘oe.pjM-r’s most ready, eap’n, ’ ho said, touching his apology for a cap. ‘Make yourselves to home, gentlemen.,

“ ‘Lang,’ said I sternly, ‘didn’t I toll you not to go?’

‘‘ ‘No, cap’ll,’ ho ri'pliod as he con- tiiuKMl to cut up the plump fowl in his hand; ‘you didn’t .say 1 couldn’t go, al- tliough, if I remember correctly, you didn’t exactly advise it on the score of its being dangerous, but a man what’s led the life I have ain’t goin to let a little thing like th.at stop him when he’s hungry, ’ ami he held toward mo the plump leg of a chicken nicely browned.

‘*‘Lang, ’ said I, ‘tell me how you did it. ’

“ ‘No very great matter,’ ho replied, proceeding wdth his culinary art. ‘When you’d gone, I walks along quiet to the outpost and finds a picket walkiii up and down like ho owned the earth, so I flops down on my stomach alongside a fence. Hein a dark night, ns it is, Mr. Picket comes along ami don’t suspect that fence so of much as liarboriii a mouse. Minute ho gets half a rod aw.ay over that fence 1 goes lightninliko ami takes a scoot into some W'oods close by ami tlien goes about my business. ’

“ ‘Go on, ’ said 1, w'ith my mouth full of chicken and honey.

“Lang continued: ‘Yon sci*, I know this country mighty well, so I makra tracks fotiiu farinhouso close by where they keeps plenty of chickens. Wh(>u I opens the gate to go in, along com(« a dog. Well, cap’ll, that’s the only dog I ever met with that I couldn’t cither scare or make friends with. No, sir, that dog wouldn’t take no stock in bluffs, so I whips out my revolver and lays him out. At that up goes a win­dow, and a man begins to yell to find out who’s there. “Put your head inside that window and keep it there, or I’ll knock it off for yon,’’ says L “Now Jim,’’ I continues, “you just watch that window, and if the fellow sticks his head out don’t wait to bo ceremo- niouslike, but just fire. I’m goin to get some chickea and honey. ’ ’ Course there wasn’t no Jim alouK, but that

DRS. KENNEDY & KERGAN, No. 148 SHELBY ST. DETROIT, MICH.

O abroad, mother, is what I have about decided to do, after all."

He who said this, sudden y and just a trifle sharply, had bien sittin^f, reading, at t ti e furthest end of a very handsome, not to say g ovg eous, drawing - room,

where a sro ip of four ladies, whose clothes well matched the apartment, sat conver ing. for 1 have no uoubt they would have called it “conversa­tion"—of a highly interesting and im­proving kind.

The young follow in the distance, however, did not seem to lind it so. He wa.s at tho age u hen men are very critical of women, esp.icialiy of their mothers and sisters, unless tho-;e hap­pen to bo sutliciently beautiful ideals to remain tuch unto son and brother from the cradle to the grave—an ex­ceptional happiness which befalls few, and it ha 1 not befallen Koderick Jar- .dine.

The stout lady who, the instant ho epoke, pricked up her oars with a cheerful “Kh, myuearV'” was (eccentric nature will sometimes have it so very unlike this, ho ' youngest child and only son—as unlike as it was possible for' mother and son to bo. Light and /dark, fat and lean largo-boned and slender, phlegmatic and nervous, they rcamo ot two diumotrica ly opposite typos, physically and ment illy. Moral­ly—yes, there was similarity there, for Mr-, .lardiue was a good woman, and Roderick wa«, as ^he ceaselessly de­clared. being very outspoken as to her feelings, the be.st of sons, though ho was a little “peculiar,’’ like his ] oor, dear father, of whom he was the very image.

Tiiis was true. Her three daugh­ters—now married and rottlod, except the last, who was ^ust about t > bo—all took after herself. Noo her present self, jerhaps, but the comely lassie she must have been once-fair-haired, round-cheeked, with a wide mouth and slightly' projecting teeth—though pos­sessing sutt cient good looks to be a belle in Hicherden. Loderi k alone "favoro 1” the other side of the house — the tu 1. darK, rather sad-looking father, who came of old Highland blood, and not 1 eing in b ’siness like mo.st of the Lieherden folk had led a .rather r»-.ired life, keeping liimself very much in the background, even amid his own family. Isobody really knew him, or thought much of him, until ho died, which event happened ^ust before his .son wont to college. Since then his widow had gradually blo'somed out into groat splendor; married her two daughters, taken her inuependent p’aco in society. Richor- den !-ocictv. as a woman—I bog pardon, a lady—ought to do who ha> a large fortune, a fine family, and a great ca­pacity ft r managi.ng hoth. l^eoplo had said tha" she managed her husband; •but those w’ho knew Mr. .Tare ine CiUOs- tioned thi.>'. (lentle us ho was, ho was not exactly u man lo be “managed” by anybody.

“What wore you saying, Rcdy, my lamb ”

Now', if there v/as a pot name the young fellow diilikcd, it was his child­ish diminutive of “hody,” And no man of live and-twenty is altogether p eased at 1 eing called “a lamb."

■■('an you spare two minutes from that very deligntful conversation of yours to listen to mo. mother^.:'"

“Ou, ay. my dear. ”The young man winced a little,

‘‘Wouldn t ‘yes d > as wo.I as ‘ou, ay^.;*’ Rut never mind, it doesry't matter, m ither. dear,” adde 1 he with a sigh, more of weariness than irapatienc.n

“Rody, my boy,” said she, coming to him half-doprecatingly, 'were you saying you wishod to go abroad^;:* It's late in the year, to bo sure, but I’ll not hinder you. Only you must promise me not to lie climbing up Alps and tumbling into glaciers.” Glaiiers, she called them; and her voice had the high-piitched shrillness which Riohor-

»deh ladies so dom quitA get out of, even when they fancy they have

• merged their native accent in th'5 purest of English. “Wherever you rcmoml er you must bo back in tim.'? for Isabella's marriage."

•(Jortainly—and. mother, don't !»• Afraid of tniy tumbling into a glacier,

or of an avalanche tumbling down upon me. I shall only see the Alps at a dis­tance. At this time of year one must content one's self with towns.” #

“That's hard, laddie, when you are so fond of the country. But do as you like—do as you like—only don't forget the marriage. You will have to give away the bride, Rody. A hi your poor father."

The widow’s eyes filled with tears. If she had not understood her hus­band, she had loved him certainly, and more perhaps after his death than before it.

“We’ll w’o ll talk the matter over an­other time,” cried Hcderick. “At this moTont I'm busy—I mean, I—I have an engagement. Goc d-by, everybody. Ill be back at dinner-time."

“A little before dinner-time, plea'-e, my dear. Remember we have compa­ny—twenty at lea it—a regular dinner

j i)arty,'’“Oh, yes, a ‘meeting of creditors,'

as my father used to call it,” said the j young fellow somewhat bitterly. “No I fear, mother; I’ll bo back in time, and do my duty to all the old fogies. ”

I “They're not old f('gio.s; ttiere are some as nice girls a? you could wish to

i see, if you'd only look at them, Roder- I ick," said Hella, who, going to be mar- 1 ried herself, quite lamented that her only hr thor seemed determined ‘

! against mati irnony. jI "Well, I will, bell, I promi-o you, I j only let me go now.” And snatching | I up his hat—a Glengarry bonnet whicn j ' he persisted in wea’ing, though hia j sisters told him it made him look like I i the Highland porters at the quay—ho 1 ] fairly ran away. j! Rapidly the young fellow walked on i 1 throu^vh park and square, through i street ani wind, or “venuol,” as such dreary dens a o often called here: shrinxing from and d?testing a'ike the poverty and t’no riches, the splon-

j dor and the rags. It began to rain heavily, but ho heeded not. Though brought up in luxury, he was not lux- | urious by nature, could stand a good

I deal of hardship, and had a yuung I man's instinctive p nde i i “roughing I

I it.” Still “an even down-pour,” us his j mother would have called it, is not an j agre able thing; an I as in reality nis I only engagement” was with himself,I whoso com, any he felt free to en joy aj ' much as anybody olso, ho stopped h s j walk and turned into a railway stati n,I where at least ho could sit down quiet- I ly and read his letters, which ho had ; snatched up from the hall table on go- I ing out.i but having no very interesting cor- I respondenoe—lor he’had left behind i at Ca’iibridge few intimates and no I duns, also being, I fear, of a rather j dilatory turn of mind, and given to tho I bad system of laissoz-aller—Roderick ]I loft the letters unopened in his pock- j et, and sat idly watching the passen- j gors gather for a train just about to j start. I

And whoa ho heard tho guard call- j ing out the nams of a jilaco where ho I

: and his father had spent many a happy j I day, ou a sudden impulse ho sprung I into tho train without a ticket (“ust like Rody, silly follow,” they would

i have said at homo , and wa i borne away.

j As ho swept along in tho train, and,I quitting it, starred on an old familiar I walk, along high cliffs which gave him I a view cf the country—land and sea— |I for many lovely miles, Roderick's ! i heart was very full. Not only of his !I father, but of liimself and his own new i future, which lay beloro him like a map; tho map of an untraveled country . —u’ntravelea cut y. t not undiscovered, i for there were in it mare certainties than lie in the lot of many young men i of his age.

Poor follow! so young, so ignorant of Jifo and its burdens, i et ho thought ! him-olf (piite wi-e and quite old, and j felt his burden very heavy in Joed, and I hi nsolf a most un/ortunato fellow, on I being obliged to g > back to that “meeting of crod tor?” which he de­tested.

“but I'll enjoy myself hero to tho very last minute.” thought ho, and sat di.wn on a heather hjsli—for on that high ground everything looked ai if it never had rained and no • or would rain again, till the next time, which would probably be within twenty-four hours. VVrajipin/ his plaid about him, he felt perfectly happy. That lovely outline of hills—ho must jUst put it down; so. hunting in his jeocket fer the pencil that wai always a-inissing, ho turned out the letters that he had crammed in there, and looked them over.

None attracted him, except a black- edged* no. which, opened, ho found was bno of the “intimations” of death, customary in Scotland, acquainting him that'there had died "at blacicnaii, aged sixty-nine, Miss, ilenco .Jardine."

Silence .Tardinol Surely a relation! Who could she be.-* For ho knew his father and ho were the last of their family.

However, thinking a minute, he re­membered that in tho business ar­

rangements after his father’s death, which, he being under ago, had been managed entirely by his mother, she had told him that blackhall, the an­cestral property, “a queer tumble-down place, which nobody would care for,” was to bo inhabited, so long as she liked, by Miss Jardine, a second cous­in. This must be she who had now died.

"1 wonder, ought I to go to her fu­neral'/” However,consulting the letter, which hod traveled to Cambridge and back, he found this was impossible. She must have “slept with her fathers" for some days already. “Poor Cousin Silence! Wuat a queer name, by the by. i wonder what she was like, or if 1 ever saw her'/”

And then, by a sudden flash of mem­ory, ho recalled a circumstance which in the confusion and anguish of the time had entirely slipped away—how, not many hour.' before his fatner had died, there had crept into the sick­room a lady—an old lady, nearly as old as Mr. Jardine, and curiously like him. At sight of her a wonderful brightness had co;ne into tho dying face. “Cousin Silence?” “Yes, Henry,” waiall they said, but she knelt beside him; and they kissed one another, and he lay looking at her till the last gleam o”f consciousnoss faded away. After that -T-for ho did not actually die for some hour8-*-she sat beside Mrs. Jardine, watching him till the end. And after the end. Roderick remembered she

! had taken his mother out of the room and comforted her, staying a little whilq longer, und then leaving, no one thinking or saying much about her, either at the t mo or afterward.

Now, recollecting his father s look, and hers, loo, tho whole story, or pos­sible story, presented itself to the im­aginative young man in colors vivid as life, ani tender as death alone can make them. And when, carelessly opening another letter, he found it was from the lawyer of this same Miss Jardine, stating that she had left him —“Koderick Henry Jardine. her seo ond cousin once removed”—the whole of her small property, as also a dia­mond ring, “which his father gave me many years ago,” ho was deeply touenedr

“I wish I had known her! I wish I had had a chance of baing good to her —poor Cousin Silence!” tnought he.

And as he sat watching ' t.ao light of tho dying day,” which died so peace­fully, so gloriously over tho western hills ho, with liis life lUst bagun. })on- de od over the two lives now e.adod, tho mystery pf which he guessed at. but never could know, except that they wore safaly ended.

When the sun set, going down like a ball of fire which dyed the river all crimson, and tho sud .en gray chill of an October twilight came, Roderick started up, a little ashamed of himself, and St.11 more ashamed when ho found ho had oniirely neglected to ask the time of tho return train to Hicherden.

“.lust like me, mother will say,” and, half laughing, but vexed, for it always vexed him to vex his mother, he tore along a I fast as his long legs could carry him. to tho railway stution. The train was just going. an.i it was at the risk of his liie—to say nothing of a penalty of forty shillings—tnat this foolish young fellow contrived to leap into it; breatnloss. exhausted, having nearly killed himself in his endeavor to “do his duty."

So ho represented to himself, at least, and felt a mo-’t tremendous mar­tyr all tho way to laeherden. did nut occur to him that simply IoFkRii at his watch and tho lime table would have saved all. Put at his iige we are apt to overlook the little thing.s on which, like the coral islands of tho South Sea ocean, our lives are buHt. How far we build them ourselves, o.' Fate builds for us. (L d only know.s.

Tearing up in a cab to his own door (or rather his mother'.-,—he dl. oudy be­gan slightly to feel tho difference , ringing as it he thought t.io h u-o was on lire,and.boing met by the imperturb- ab o butler with tho informition,• \'es. sir, dinner is servel: Mrs. .lar- dine wai ed half an hour, uni then asked .\Jr. Thomson to take the foot uf the table —all this dul not contribute t ) Roderick's placiiity uf spirit. When ho at last walked into tnat blaze of gas-light —that dazzle of cry.stal and j)lato—that strong aroma of dainty dishes and excellent wines, and clatter of conversuti'in, which makes up a Hicherden dinnjr-jiarty, he was nut in the best frame of mind to enjoy tho same.

His motho;- was se busy talking, and tho silver-gilt o|>t*rgno was such an el- fjctual barrier between tho upper and lower ends of tho table, that she never noticed that her non-in- aw-el.'Ct quitted his place and her son slipped into it, till tho deed was done. Then Roderic’K might ha\o received a gcod hea ty scolding, not u idesorved. had not sumothing in him—was it his father s look/—repressed tho ebulli­tion. She merely said: “Ch, ray son is there, I seel Retter late than never.” And the dinner wo it on.

When, the ladies having retired, he still had to keep his place and “pass the bottle”—which he loathed—to elderly gentlemen, a^’, and young ones, too, who evidently did not loathe it— listening mtjanwhile to talk in which, whether it was his own fault or not, ho could not get up tho smallest in- torest, thts young Cantab—who for three years had lived in what was a little better atmosphere than that of Rlcherden—socially, as well as physi­cally—was a good deal to be pitied.

So was his mother, too, when, hav­ing succeeded in luring the guests up­stairs, he—her only son—went and hid himself io the draw ing-rcom and

“sulked," as ho overheard her say, lO" menfciog over him as a black sheep, in the loudest of whispers, to a lady he particularly disliked.

But it was not sulking, for he bad his father's sweet temper. It was only the utter weariness of spirit, which, in uncongenial circumstances comes over the young as well as the old.

And then, with the habit, he had of passing over things at the time and re­curring to them afterward, there came into his mind a sentence in tho letter from Miss Jardine s lawyer, explaining that in making her will she had said to him that her only other kindred were some distant cousins, living, she be­lieved in Switzerland, whom, if they were foor, she left to Roderick’s kind­ness.

“Capital idea! I’ll go straight to Switzerland and find them. It would at lea:>t be something to do.”

And the mere notion of this bright­ened up the young fellow's spirit and warmed his heart—he was, I fear, bat a foolish young Quixote after all; so that when hii ipother called him ta do cirvlUty to the departing guests, he came forward with an air of cheerful­ness, such as he had not worn all the evening. Ay, even when he had to escort the most honored quest to the very carriage door, from an unsteadi­ness of gait, politely ascribed to gout, but which Roderick, with a conterxipt so sad to see in the young to the old, even when the old deserve it, soon per­ceived to be—something else.

“Mother,” cried ho, indignantly, as he ret mod to the drawing-i*oom, where the two ladies stood on the hearth-rug of their “banquet hall de­serted.” hot, weary, a little cross, and not a little glad that “it was over,” “mother, I wonder you let that old fel­low enter your door! He has net an ounce of brains, and less of manners. Didn’t you seo he was drunk?”

“What an ugly, vular word! And to say it of Sir James, who holds such a good position here, and is Mr. Thom­son's father, too! Rody, I’m ashamed of you!”

“And Bella is more than ashamed, angry. Oh, Bell, ” and with a sudden sense of brotherly tenderness, half re­gret, half compunction, he laid his hand on her shoulder, “ha.e you thor­oughly consider d this marriaso/ Are you quite sare of the youn^ man him­self/ These things run in families. Suppose he should even turn out a drunkard—like this father!”

“StufT and nonsense ” said Bella, shar^jly. “And even if Sir James does enjov his glass—why—so do many other gentlemen. It Ln’t like a common man, you know, who never knows when to stap. Now, Sir James does. He is not ‘drunk,’ as you call it, on'y ‘mjrry.’”

“Roderick,” said his mother—and when she gave him his full name he knew she was seriously displeased - “the Thomsons are one of the first families in Riuherden, and live in the best style. Isabella is making the most satis'autory marriage of all her sisters, and I des re you w.ll not say one word against it.”

“Very well, mother.” And with a hopeless sigh Roderick changd thoo conversation.

“Mother, have you thought over what I said this morning a out going to Switzerland/” said he, impelled by tho sad longing of much-worried poojiie to run away. “Because, sin e then, i have Jound an added reason for my ourney.” And he gave her tho two

lotter.s which had come on from Cam­bridge. “I .suppose you had not heard ot Miss Jardine’s death, or you would have i.ut off tho dinnur-party?”

“Why 80/ She was only a poor rela­tion. Nobody know anything about her here. Ber doatn was not even put in tho newspapers.”

“Then you did know of it/ But, of course, one could not mourn for a person whose death was not imt'or- tant enough to be put in the news­paper.”

Mrs. Jardine looked puzzled, as she often did when her gentle-speaking “lad” spoke in that way; she could not make out whether he was in jest or in earnest!

“VN olll, gc, if you like. But it's just a frild-goose chase; that's what I cull it. ”

“,So do I, mother. Only I'm hot tho hunter; I m tho wild goose, and I want to take a good lung flight and ?tretch my wings. Then I’ll come back as tame as possible, and settle down in the dullest and smoothest of ponds.”

He determined to the very next day, to visit Blackhall, w'hich ho hud never yet seen, and knew littlo about, for his lather rarely named it, though it hud bee i the homo ot the .lardlnes for many generations. Also, they m. st havo had a burial-place, for he had some recollection of his father s hav­ing once expressed a wish to bo there, only his mother hud overiuled it in lavor of tho grand new cemetery on tho out'kirts oi ivicherden, wnere sue hud afterward' erode J a boiutiful whicG marble sarcophagus with an urn at the top.

I “There is one thing I cannot see,” and reached tho Capitol on the eventful day sot for its delivery, t onfide*.t that the manuscript reposed safely in an inside pouket. Getting the Spoal^sr’s eye, the new member began, "There is one thing, Mr. Speaker, that I can­not seo," meanwhile diving into his coat for his speech. It was not where he expected to find it, but fearing to lose his chance, and still confident that it would turn up. his hands flew around,' to the pockets of his coat tads, and ho| continued: “I sa.', Mr. Speaker, thati there is one th’'ng I cannot see.” The, precious paper was still elusive, andj the mem^r began to plunge throughi his pockets in a desperate hunt for' the speech. His a“60ciate8 saw his; ■plight and became interested. “I ro-i peat. Mr. Speaker,” he blustered,^ “that there is one thing I cannot see.” By this time the assembl ,• was snick­ering. The speech could not be found, and the speaker was stumped. Ho took his seat, red and perspiring, with a general guffaw to add to his dis­comfort. Then rose the wag of the assembly.

“Mr. fcipeaker,” he said, “the honor­able gent eraan from Winona informs u e tnat there is one thing he cannot see. There is also one thing I cannot see, but which every other member ran see, and that is the back of my nock.”

'J he member from Winona has in­definitely postponed his maiden effort.

TAKE STEPSIn time, if you are a suf­ferer from that scourge' of huiuauity known as consumption, and you can be cured. There is the evidence of hundreds of liv­ing witnesses to the fact that, in ■ all its cnrlyi stages, consump-* tion is a curable disease. Not every case, but a larf^e percentage of cases, and we believe, fully gS per cent, are cured by Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis­covery, even after the disease has pro­gressed so far as to induce repeated bleed­ings from the lungs, severe lingering cough with copious expectoration (including tu­bercular matter), great loss of flesh and ex­treme emaciation and weakness.

Do you doubt that hundreds of such cases reported to us as cured by “ Golden Med­ical Discovery ” were genuine cases of that dread and fatal disease ? You need not take our word for it. They have, in nearly every instance, been so pronounced by the be.st and most experienced home physicians, who have no interest whatever in mis­representing them, and who were often strongly prejudiced and advised against a trial of “Golden Medical Discovery,” but w'ho have been forced to confess that it surpasses, in curative power over this fatal malady, all other medicines w’ith which they are acquainted. Nasty cod- liver oil and its filthy “emulsions” and mixtures, had been tried in nearly all these cases aud had either utterly failed to bene­fit, or had only seemed to benefit a little for a short lime. Extract of malt, whiskey,' and various preparations of the hypo- phosphites had also been faithfully tried in vain.

The photographs of a large number of those cured of" consumption, bronchitis, lingering coughs, asthnia. chronic nasal catarrh and kindred maladies, have been skillfully reproduced in a book of i6o pages which will be mailed to you, on receipt of address and six cents in stamps. You can then write to those who have been cured and profit by their ex­perience.

\V. C. Whllnoy declined t' © Demo­cratic m mination for (.iovernor of New York and fconutir David B. Hill was

chosen to head the ticket. Mr. Whitney was t o have been named by acclama­tion. His refusal to run left the dele­gates in an exceed­ingly unpleasant po­sition. Senator Hill did not desire tho nomination, and

C facing thecon-{/ Tr /vention from tho

y-'t h e platform de- n. a iiTi.L. Glared that he would

not accept it. A scone without paral­lel in tho history of conventions,except, perhaps that in 1K7H, when Seymour w'as nominated by acclamation against the wishes of the majority of the dele­gates, took place w’hen tho name of Uavid B. Hill canned astanuode In his favor. Fifteen hundred people sto id upon their feet yelling themselves hoar.-e, two bands of music tried to drown the tumult, and Senator Lavid B. Hill, the chairman, pounded \ lo- lontly but ineffectually with his gavel in attempt to restore order. It was a scene of disorder, but e\en of en- Ihusia m that would probably not bo witnessed in a decade.

Mr. Hitt had finished hi^ speech nominating John Boyd Ttaciher and *been received w'ith enthusiasm. Dele­gates had looked at one another and expected that the nomination would be made by acclaraat on. Kvoa f-onator Hill himself with the gavel in hand, had ordered tho lo i called and breathed a sigh of relief. ovivOi.tly be­lieving tho crisis lia l i)-,^sjd. But a slight built man from Alleghany County, who had never been known in tho council■» of tho par.y, throw a fire­brand wh ch caused a sensation almo.-t beyond belief. When the county was reached 1 e'egate It'.vnolds arose, and. amid intense silence said: "The united delegation fiom Al­leghany County desire to pla o in nomination for (j'overnor their l rst and only choice. David Bennett Hill.” Then occurred one of the wilde-t scones that could be imagined. Dclo- gatos jumped upon tho cuuirs, specta tors crowded into the aisle, liats were thrown heavenward, canes with ril)- bons waved wildly and men yelled the:nselves hoir.se. Tho secretaries loft tlieir desks and jumping upon chairs also cheo ’ed with tho multi­tude.

Finally, from sheer exhaustion, tho vast audience (eased its applause enough to allow .Senator Hill's voice lo 1)0 heard, and in a husky voice ho said.

“I am grateful to tho nomocracy ot tho Empiro State for their courtesy and kindness and support in tho past, but I must say to you that 1 cannot 1>0 your cand da o again fi r Governor.”

Thoie were cr es of “Xo, no.” and “You re tho only man, fiom the dele­gates, and the applause was renewed.

An owner of as splendid a Newfound­land as ever gladdo ed the heart of I^andseor records the fact that it was intensely fond oi its playthings.

“It was in tho orchard,” said this dog’s master, “tliat it usually found its pi yt’iings and conveyo 1 them to its sanctum. These consisted chlotly of tard ne tin--, balls, tlowor-pots, chunks cl w cd, etc., but tlie prime favorite of all its pos.-esdous was a largo tea­kettle.

“This it would 1 ark to and play with for hours togetlior. By day it kept it in a cerner of its stall and carried aj)- ples to it from the orchard. At night It sleeps close to the doggij’s sido soirotimes quite buried up with straw.”

It was clear that there wav nuihi g half so swojt in life to this Newfound­land dog as that o’d black kettle ai anyone soon discovered on m iking any attempt to deprive it of its loved play- tlilng.
