SOUTHERN SKETCHES.

IV.Pass Christian, (with the accent on

the "an") is one of the gull watering•places with a good bathing beach,•which makes it a Bummer resort forthe southern folk as well as a winterrendezvous lor the tourists of north-land. There we rested a day fromthe lively whirl the New Orleans com-mittee had given the Michigan PressAssociation, taking a pleasant enr-1'iage drive about the town.

At aught we went to sleep in ourtear, standing on the side track of that'Mississippi town, but the magic of(steam power caught us up, whirled usin the night, across .the state of Ala-tetaia, so that we might awake atsleepy Pensacola..

There, a large number of foreign'ships load with lumber Jor Europe.Timber is near at hand; land is cheap,as well as labor. Accordingly, themost enterprising of northern capi-talists are getting hold of these timberlands with a view of making profit-able Investments. Gen. Alger is amongthis number, and it was our pleasureto meet him at Pensacola, where liewas looking after some land.

THOMAS VILLE.Another night tide brought us to a

'Georgia city, but so far down thatit just escapes beingdn Florida. Thom-asville is among the pines, high,healthy and well drained. Pears, wa-termelons, strawberries, and grapesgrow well there, while farming landtan be picked up a t from $0 to $10 antin acre. The farming population'is thinly scattered, but the early fruitsthey raise get high prices when" sent•north.

It Kceins that Georgia has a uni-versity plan like that with whichMichigan started, that is, having•branches scattered all over the state.One of these branches is here located.A normal school has also been es-tablished for the colored race. It•was founded by the American mis-sionary society, and has New Eng-land teachers. They claim in thispart of Georgia to divide the publicSchool fund pro rata. between the•white and colored children, and thatthe white tax-payers pay seven-eighthsOf the fund.

The Piney Woods hotel where we•breakfasted, is a handsome, large,hostelry, popular with tourists drawn'there for health or pleasure from all•parts of the country, all of whomenjoy the Bweet perfume of the pines,in the park opposite. Speaking of•pines, it seemed queer to us to hearthem speaking of turpentine farms'nl>out the city. AVe took a carriageride around town through the courte-sy of the citizens, seeing many pleas-ant homes, built by northern men,viewing the business portion, sizeing'up big forest trees and thoroughly en-joying the soft, warm sunshine.

Sl'WANEE RIVER.Ever since leaving home, the sing-

tors in the party had been tuning theirVoices with

"Way down upon the Suwanee river,'''and ive had all been looking forwardto the visit there with pleasure.

AW AUBOtt, jgMICHHUX. p OFF!

I t came up to our expectations.Ourlo.uely enough, we were disappoint-ed at not being disappointed, for weexpected to find a low banked, slug-gish stream, running through ,aSwamp. Instead, was a lively cur-trent, a deep river and high banks,covered with great forest trees, which•were draped with long gray moss.

A sulphur spring, where we stop-ped, is attaining a reputation forits curative properties. In one wayit is doing the work of the Keeley cure,foor any one drinking that sulphur wa-ter, finds himself unable to standliquor. Placards are up on the wallswarning people not to try it. But•whether it was a prohibition dodgeto scare i'oLks 'and keep them fromVlrink we did not ascertain by sam-pling. However we sampled the wa-ter, and three of us went in swimming•in the springs, enclosed by a high, wallbuilt around the place where it bub-bles up. It w«« a jolly mid-winterswim in the lively pool where 45,000gallons were pouring in and out earliminute. The temperature Is 74 de-greea the year around.

After dinner there wa-s a greatscramble for a boat ride in the lit-tle steam launch. The old historicStream has many windings, its swiftcurrent making numerous caves iythe coquina banks. But how sick thepeople at tlu' hotel must be of hear-ing everyone who conies there singthat old song! True it is pretty,but it must assume the proportionsof a gigantic chestnut to them.

In the evening they built for us ahuge bonfire on the .river banks, whichmade a fitrange effect of light andMia dow among the 'call pines.

JACKSONVILLE.All who go to Florida go to its

metropolis, Jacksonville, which cityis the gateway to that beautiful pe-ninsular state. There the Board oftrade breakfasted us at the St. Jameshotel.

The city being on the St. John's!river, is reached by ocean steamersand it is the market for Florida's pro-duce, as -well as .the wholesale marketlor "what is brought in. They havehad big fires and an epidemic of yellowfever, but are rebuilding and havegotten good sanitary regulations.

We were pleased to meet Peter Dig-aian, our former townsman, who hasregained Ills health, married and isinia prosperous grocery business. TheFlorida Press Association was in ses-sion and gave us a cordial gretting.

ST. AUGUSTINE.A special train over the Jackson-

ville, St. Augustine & Halifax River4-oad was kindly tendered us by Gen-eral Superintendent Crawford, and wemaile 'good time to the old Spanishtown of St. Augustine, the oldesttown in \he U. S. Here is an oldtoe t. built ,10 one knows when, and anold cathedral whose bells were pre-sented by a Spanish king, over 200years ago.

This quaint town has hotels of whichNew York or Paris would be proud,for no other city has an equal to thePonce de Leon, of St. Augustine. That,

well as the Alcazar and the Cor-Uova, belongs to Flagler, the StandardOil man, who has spared no expenseIn beating the world. The architectshave studied to reproduce the ancientSpanish-Moresque palaces with sig-nal success, even haying excelled any-thing of the rich days of Spanish con-quests. There are courts, jxlazas, foun-tains, marbles, mosaics, minarets andverandas. Old inlaid cabinets, rareipaintings, elegant frescoes, palms andgardens abound where, a few yearsbefore when we were ,there, was simp-ly a, low, sandy iravine. The trans-formation was Alladin-like. It is be-Jieved that the owner has spent over'$2,000,000 in these hotels, and withit he has secured a marvel of beauty.

A NEGATIVE VERDICT.

By a Majority of 203 Ann ArborVoters Decide not to Have Stwers.

There was considerable interest man-ifested in the special election on sever -erage last Monday, in fact a largervote wa« cast than at any other spe-cial election in the history of the city.There were 1,407 votes polled, andthe proposition wins defeated by 203votes.

The Courier has from the first, con-sistently favored sewerage.

It favored the proposition submit-ted on. Monday because it believed itto be in the interest of the poor peopleand the laborers of 'the city.

Tt.favored that plan because, it be-- that, it is bad policy to run into

ISu't the majority of,it he people think'differently, and the majority mustrule in tliis country.

The Courier still believes that it isrror of judgment on the part of

tin majority.But (sewers are a necessity. The

city must have them far its own pro-tection.

•ind now the next .scheme will comeforward, which is the scheme of the<ea.jHtali.sts who have money to loanand want to buy the city's bondswhich they consider a safe invest-ment aiid one that gives them notrouble. To carry out this scheme

not necessary to go before the'people, as we understand it. The leg-islature can grant the common coun-cil the privilege to issue bonds tothe amount desired. By this scheme

•ntiire sewerage system of the citybuilt at once, and the people

Snake the necessary connec-tions with the main or laterals wheth-er they •wish to or not.

The city will have a huge debt hang-ing over its head, and the raising of$10,000 or $15,000 extra each yearto capitalists holding the bonds, willbecome a permanent tiling for manyyears, and will be disastrous to AnnArbor's prosperity.

It is a Berious question whethertire majority, even, have a right toplace upon every lot, every block, ev-ery home in this city a mortgage,whether the owner is willing or not,for bonding the city is nothing morenor less than mortgaging every pieceof property in the city.

Let this city get -t debt of $200,-*000 or $300,000; let its taxes runup to 3 per cent, or even 2 1-2 percent., and see (how quickly this healthysteady growth of the .past eight years•will be stopped.

One very peculiar feature of Mon-Uiay's voting was the .fact that a largemajority of the tax-payers, and theheaviest tax-payers In the city, atthat, voted in favor of sewers. It•was beaten by the non-tax-payingVoters, who were in no way effected,find by laborers whoiwould have beenbenefited, had it been carried.

It is astonishing/ how blind peopletire to their own interests sometimes.

THE NSW ELECTION LAW,

Opinion of and Instructions by the At-torney General.

Lansing, Feb. 24, 1892.or of Courier.

Dear Sir—There have been so manyquestions aeked by local officers of

MIS townships, incorporated vil-lages and cities, relative to the appli-

on of the general election law tolocal elections ami town meetings tobe held in the .spring o: 1892, That Idesire to Hay to such officers, throughyour paper, that:

Act No. 190 of the Public Acts of1891, known as the general electionlaw, a.s limited by Act No. 194 ofthe Public Acts of the same year, ap-plies to all local elections held in thevarious cities, villages and townshipsof this state. That such electionsmust l>e iiald according to the pro-visions oi said general law, so far astiie same are applicable thereto. I ti.s provided among other things, insection one of Act No. 194, that "allthe provisions of Such general lawrelative to the board ,of election in-spectors, the arrangement of polling'places (which would include the pro-viding and arrangement of booths),the inainu-r oi voting ami receivingvotes, and the canvass and declara-tion of tln- result .of such election, are

made applicable to such numicipalami township elections;" but the timefor opening and closing of polls shallnot !,•;• affected by reason of Art No.190.

The time for opening and closingof the polls in .township elections iscontrolled by section 704 of Howell'sStatutes, which provides t h a i :

"The pools shall be opened at nineo'clock in th eforenoon. or as noonthereafter as may be, and shall be

I -die hours oof <and six o'clock in the afternoon, and

• . shall cause proclama-tion to be made at l /a-t one hour be-fore the closing of the polls, that the

in will be closed a tor within tiie sjKvi.ii ;1 hour, namingI ."

i two , of Art No. 194 pro-vides I

;1 township board o iwn-. and such persons as shall beed therefor by the common coun-

cil of the various cities ami villagesin this state, shall ]>• tie' board ofelection commissioners for such town-ship, city or village respectively, andKhali perform such duties relative, tothe preparation and printing ol bal-lots as are required by law oi theboard of Blestdon commissioners lOfcounties, 'and the like duties and privi-leges as are enjoyed and granted bytiie laws governing general elections,upon the various committees of thedifferent political organizations, arehereby prescribed for 'die city, villageor township committees, in electionsheld- pursuant" to said act; exceptthat no vignette or heading for theballot, other than the .name of the1>a.rty shall be necessary.

It •will be necessary to hold theaucuses for the nomination of can-

didates at least five days before elec-tion day, as Nee (ion three of the act•provides that "the names of eandi-

! shall IK- given in by the commit-tees oi the various organizations, to

board of election commissionersof -suchmunieipality, not less than livedays befoi-e each election, and theproof copy of the ballot shall be opento the inspection of the chairman ofeach committee at the office of thetownship clerk, and city or villageclerk or recorder, not less than twotear secular days before such elec-

tion."

The ticket must be .printed in thefcune form as is .provided in the gen-eral law, and the board of electionCommissioners for the township, cityor village, must iurnish the ticket.They can get the .printing done atisuch place as they choose.

The "words "political organizations"or "political party" used in this act,must be construed to mean any re-spectable body of citizens who areelectors of any "township or electiondistrict, and who assemble themselvestogether in the manner provided bythe law, and hold a nominating cau-cus or convention.

Hence it is only necessary, in orderfor a person to have his name print-

upon the ticket, that he should beminated by a respectable body of•ctors properly assembled, who aretitled to have his name printed onp ticket.t is not intended, however, that

person who desires to run forice shall be prohibited from furnish-

fclips, or seeking, within the pro-ions of the law, ,to have his namettten or pasted on the ticket bytors when they are preparing their

•Hots in the booths. All such votesd the votes 'or any person, whenthe ballot, should be counted un-

r the same directions as govern theminting of votes far regular candi-tes whose names are printed on

ballots.Jy Section 4, of Act No. 190, it isn-ided:•No election district or voting pre-t under the provisions of this act

ill contain more than five hundredtors according to the poll lists ofLust preceeding general election.

'When any election district or voting•precinct shall contain over five hun-dred electors it shall be the duty ofthe township board in townships, andthe city council in cities, to dividefcuch voting precincte into two or•more election districts." i

In ease the division is made in atownship or incorporated village, theprovisions of chapter eight of Howeli'sStatutes, are to apply and governsuch division.

If the division is made in cities,and there are no special provisions inthe city charter existing relative there-to, then the division, the election

Commissioners, the lm pedand all matters arising by reason

of the division, must be provided forordinance of the common council. Thecommon council has power to maketill necessary rules and regulationsin connection therewith, to fully parryout. the provisions ol the law.

In all vot ing precincts in cities where• are special provisions in the char-

ter for designating inspectors of elec-tion, such inspectors should be desig-nated as directed in the charter andw o u l d 1M- t h e Inspectors of e l e c t i on

Congressman Harter lias sent outan earnest appeal to all old soldiersto petition their representatives in(congress against the passage of theBland bill on the ground that freesilver coinage would reduce the pur-thasing power of pension money from25 to 4(1 per cent. About 800,000'pensioners, likely to be increased to1,000,000, would suffer from the Blandbill.

When Jim and Bill and 1 were boys a manyyears ago,

How gayly did we use to hail the coming ofthe snow!

Our sleds, fresh painted red and with theirrunners round and bright,

Seemed to respond right briskly to our clamorof delight

As we dragged them up the slippery road thatclimbed the rugged hill

Where perched the old frame meetin house, sosolemnlike and still.

Ah, coasting in those days—those good olddays—was fun indeed!

(Sleds at that time, I'd have you know, wereparagons of speed!)

And if the hill got bare in spots, as hills willdo, why. then

We'd haul on iie and snow to patch those baldspots up again.

But, oh, with what sad certainty our spiritswould subside

When Deacon t'risbee sprinkled ashes wherewe used to slidel

The deacon he would roll his eyes*and gnashhis toothless gums.

And clear his skinny throat and twirl hissaintly, bony thumbs.

And tell you: "When 1 wuz a boy, they taughtme to eschew

The godless, ribald vanities which modernyouth pursue!

The pathway that leads down to hell ia slip-. pery, straight and wide.

And Satan lurks for prey where little boys arewont to slide!"

Now, he who ever in his life has been a littleboy

Will not reprove me when he hears the lan-guage I employ

To stigmatize as wickedness the deacon's zeal-ous spite

In interfering with the play wherein we founddelight;

And so I say, with confidence, not unalloyed ofpride,

"Gol durn the man who sprinkles ashes wherethe youngsters slide!"

But Deacon Frisbee long ago went to his last-ing rest.

His money well invested in farm mortgagesout west;

Bill, Jim and I, no longer boys, have learnedthrough years of strife

That the troubles of the little boy pursue theman through life—

That here and there along the course whereinwe hoped to glide

Some envious hand has sprinkled ashes just tospoil our slide!

And that malicious, envious hand U not thedeacon's now—

Grim, ruthless Fate! that evil sprite none otheris than thou!

Riches and honors, peace and care come at thybeck and go—

The soul, elate with joy today, tomorrowwrithes in woe!

And till a man has turned his face unto thewall and died

He must expect to get his share of ashes on hiaslide!

While 1 weed out my turnip plotAn hoe my early roses.

Then Hannah has her cats an dogs.Her poll an pet canary,

While I think more of useful beastsTer keep the farm an dairy.

We're both contented with our lot;1 let her have her panots;

A little later, as around I played.And saw that young girls were so frail and

'fraid.1 wondered why on earth a maid was made.No mortal use the timid things could beThat a philosopher of six could see-So great a mystery was the sex to me.

A few years more, when youth's expansivename

Pat my philosophy of six to shame,A greater mystery the sex became.Next into college I for knowledge went.And wondered at the time so vainly spent-Four years for learning things not worth a

cent!

A year of lounging in that sacred place,Then round the world to see the human raceI wandered, and my wonder arew apace.More than seven marvels had the world for

me.And this the greatest: Why the poor should beSlaves of the rich men, when they might be

free.

But having had sufficient time to coolMy fancy in this tough world's roughest

school,I give up life's conundrums—as a rule.Vet such is habit—howsoe'er we try—The other day 1 fell to wondering whyIn Yankee taverns they serve cheese with pie.

An Average Man.A realistic storyWithout any gush or glory.

With no sentimental limelightAnd no firework display,

'Bout a poor old ignoramusWho was never rich nor famous,

And who couldn't ignite the river.And who worked out by the day.

A very common fellerWas this F.benezer Weller,

With the usual share of virtuesAnd with vices two or three:

He'd no fatal gift of beauty.But an average sense of duty.

Neither very good nor evi l-Just about like you and me.

And he wed an average woman.Very nice and very human.

Just about like Ebenezer,Neither very good nor bad:

Oft in harmony they'd warble.Often they would scold and squabble.

But they loved each other dearly.And they couldn't continue mad.

Never had enough on MondayTo supply the house till Sunday,

Never made enough in AprilTo support themselves in May;

If they worked hard in November,They must work hard in December,

And the coarse bread of tomorrowWas the hard work of today.

They worked on, grew gray and grayer.Yet they never made him mayor.

And she plucked no social honors,And his wages still were small;

Then the Ioa4 of years grew weighty,And they died when they were eighty.

And they put them in the graveyard.And they left them there. That's all,

A realistic story.Without any gush or glory.

Yet this fellow EbenezerRepresents the human clan;

His the average share of pleasure.His the average lack of leisure.

His the average joy and sorrowOf the common average man.

And lost in admirationI praised her lovely gown, which waa

A most superb creation.

A triumph of the modiste's art.That costume closely fitting;

Her pride revealed itself in smilesThat o'er her face were flitting.

Then suddenly ] asked of her(Not thinking of the shock it

Would give the darling, tender girl),"Where have you put your pocket?"

The joyous smile fled from her lipsAnd left them white behind it.

As, with a strong, determined look.She made a dive to find it.

Her arm shot out, her back curved inIn wonderful contortion.

8he struggled so, 1 begged of herTo please proceed with caution.

An upward switch she gave her ski r t -It really was quite shocking—

A petticoat of lace revealedAnd just a glimpse of stocking.

*Twas then her arm received a twistThat wrenched it from its socket;

Yet through the pain, in triumph, sheDeclared she'd found her pocket.

Steele M&ekaye, the dramatist, cantell a good story as well as write agood play. At Wormley's he wasrelating BOtae of Ms experiences inthe little village of Concord, X. C ,whiere In1 spent some time.

"I wanted a table made," lie be-gan, ••and viis dlTeetecl to the vil-lage carpenter. He was an aged-,11,111, and ivhi'ii T finally found himhe was leisurely engaged in the man-ufacture of a coffin. It looked as ifhe had been at work upon the coffinfor a week*. 1 asked him if lie couldmake me a table. He-'allowed' thathe could when lie 'got at it.' 'Andwhen will you get at it ?' I asked.Suddenly lie parried my • direct ques-tion with another. 'What kind of atable <lo you want?' lie asked me,wiih the air of w man who lias gotthe enemy cornered.

"I .described the table, and the oldman again fell into deep thought.At, last, when I showed some impa-tience, he told me 'to come again•next week.

"A week later I reminded liimabout my table. Yes, he remember-ed tlie conversation, but he reallydid not think lie could go to work•upon it until he had seen some ofhis (relatives. He ddd not exactlyknow where they laved, but he waspositive that they had to be seenbefore my table could be begun.Besides this, he hadn't .any lumber.

" 'Where can I get the lumber ?'I asked in desperation. Well, liethought it could be obtained at themill. And where was tlhe mill'.'Twelve miles away. fk> I mountedmy >horse and started for the mill.I found it after a long search. Itwas a dilapidated affair, and the sawwas hall way through a log. Butthe saw was rusty, .a sign that it hadnot been in use for a week. A wo-man came out of a, house near byand answered my shouts. 'I toldher that I wanted .to see the ownerof the mill.

" 'What .do you want to see himtor ?' she drawled. I told her aboutttie lumber which I needed, and herhusband came out. He was a long,lean, lank fellow, and he was suck-ing a yam. I t was the funniestsight you ever saw. All during hisconversation lie sucked tins yamand fepoke in slow, deliberate Ben-tences. He finally concluded thathe did not caire to take the troubleto cut the lumber, and I rode twelvemiles to town."

"And did you ever get the table ?"asked the reporter, who listened tothe story.

"Down toy the railroad was a fac-tory," eaid Mr. Mackaye. "Nobodyin the town had mentioned it, al-though fifty people had told me of•the aged and work-deferring carpen-ter. I found the factory by acci-dent, gave iny order for the table,and had It delivered to me withintwenty-four hours.—Washington Post.

Growing so strong and sweet andpure;

Little Things.

A good-bye kiss is a little tiling.With the hand on the door to go,

But it takes the venom out of the stingOf a thoughtless word or a cruel fling

That you anade an hour ago.A kiss of greeting is sweet and rare,

After the toil of the day,But it smooths the furrows out of the

care.And lines on the forehead you once cal-

led fair.In the years that have flown away.

Tis a little thing to say, "You arekind, u

I love you, my deaa-," each night;But it sends a tin-ill through the

heart, I find.For love Is tender, as love is blind,

As we climb life's rugged height.We starve each other if or love's caress,

We take, but we do not g'ive;It seems so easy some souls to bless,But we dole love grudgingly. Irss and

less,Till "ti.s bitter and hard to live.

She Was Mrs. Jerry Simpson.

Two refined-looking ladies sat inthe members' g-ailery of the House ofRepresentatives, picking out the vari-ous statesmen on the floor with theaid of the chart in the congressionaldirectory. A rather vociferously at-tiredyoung lady sauntered in and tooka seat 'beside them.

"Do tell me where Jerry SimpsonIs !" exclaimed the newcomer; "I haveheard so much about him."

One of the ladies pointed out the'Alliance Kansan in the arena beneath.

"Oh, no, that isn't Jerry Simpson,"protested the loud young lady, confi-dently, "I would know him becauseI have seen his pictures."

"And I (have known Mr. Simpsonfor some time myself," replied the lady.

"'Well, he does not seem to be auch•a bad looking man after all," thevociferous young lady commented af-ter a careful scrutiny. "I wonder ifhe brought his wife with him."

"I believe she is in the city," thequiet lady asserted.

"I would like to see her, too. TheyGo say she isn't so very awful. Howdo you suppose she .likes all the thingsthe papers say about him ?" And the•fashionable maiden rattled away inregard to llrs. Simpson.

"She doesn't mind it," respondedthe elder.

"Do you know Mrs. Simpson, too?"inquired the young Bightseer.

'•Very well," remarked the other,Serenely. "I am 'Mrs. Simpson'."—Washington Post.

CUREDBy taking Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, by

the remarkable cures it has accomplished,often when other medicines have failed, hasproven itself to be a potent and peculiarmedicine for this disease. Some of thesecures are really wonderful. If you suffer fromscrofula, be sure to try Hood's Sarsaparilla.

" My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof-ulous sore neck from the time she was 22monthsold till she became six years of age. Lumpsformed in her neck, and one of them aftergrowing to the size of a pigeon's egg, becamea running sore for over three years. We gaveher Hood's Sarsaparilla, when the lump andall indications of scrofula entirely dis-appeared, and now she seems to be a healthychild." J. S. CARLILE, Nauright, N. J.

HE KEPT HISNo one ever thought tUal M.IJ-r -would marry John Giiarrlnjjton

bat lie thought differently, ami thingwhich John Charringtosn intended haia queer way oi < pass. Hiiad asked her to marry him beforhe -went to Oxford. Bhe laughed amrefused him. lie tusked her agaiinext time lie came borne. Again sliSauglied, tossed her dainty blandand again refused. A third lime In'asked her; she said it was becominga conlirnved bad habit, and laughetit him mwe than ever.

.lolia was not the only man winwarned to marry her; she was thebelle of our village coterie, and•were all in love with her more orless; it -was a sort of fashion, like(masher collars or Inverness capesTherefore we were a-s much annoyeiBJ3 surprised when John Charringtoi•wjilked into our little club—we hatit in the loft over the saddler's, I remember—and invited us all to his•wedding.

"Your wedding ?""You don't mean it I""Who's the happy Pair V When's

it to be VJohn Charrington filled his pipe and

lighted it before lie replied. Then heeaid:

•'I'm sorry to deprive you fellowfeof your only joke—but Miss Foster amiI are to be married in September."

"You don't ineaji it 7""He's got the mitten, again, and it's

turned his head.""No," I fcaid rising, "1 see it's true.

Lend me <a pistol some one, or afirst-class fare to t'lue other end ofNowhere. Charrington has bewitch-ed the only pretty girl in our twenty-five mile radius. Was it mesmerismor a iove portion, Jack 1"

"Neither, sir; but a gift you'll nev-er liave—perseverance—and the bestluck a man ever had in the world."

There was bomething in his voicethat silenced me, and all the chafflof the other fellows failed to draw himfurther.

The queer tiling about it was that"when -we congratulated Miss Fostershe bhished and Kmlip.il and dimpledfor all the world as though she werein love with him, aaid had been in love"with him all the time. Upon my wordI thought ehe had. Women are sin-gular creatures.

We were all asked to the wedding.In Brixham everyone who was any-body knew everybody elee who wasany one. My sisters were, I trulytielieve, more interested in the trou6-fceau than the bride herself, and I wasto be the best man. The comingmarriage was much canvassed at af-ternoon tea tables and at our littleclub over the saddler's, and the ques-tion was always asked, "Does Shecare for him ?"

I used to ask that question of my-self in the early days of their engage-anent, but after a certain evening inAugust I never asked it again. Iwas coining home from the club"through the church-yard. Our churchis on a thyme grown hill, and the turfabout it is so thick and soft that one'sfootsteps are noiseless.

I made no sound as I vaulted theiow, lichened wall and threaded my•way between Hie tombstones. I t was.at the same Instant that I heardJohn Charrington's voice and saw herface. May was Bitting ou a low,flat gravestone, with the full (splen-dor oi tin- western sun upon her mig-lionne face. Its expression ended atonce a.nd forever any question of herlove for him. It was transiigured toB beauty I should not have believedpossible even to that beautiful littleface.

John lay at her feet, and it was hisvoice that broke the stillness of thegolden August evening.

"My dear, my dear, 1 believe that Ihhould come back from the dead ifyou wanted mo."

I coughed at once to indicate mypresence and passed on into the shad-ow fully enlightened.

The wedding was to be early in Sep-tember. Two days before I had gone•up to town on business. The train•was late of course, for we were onthe Southeastern, and as I stoodgrumbling with my watch in hand,•whom should I see but John Charring-ton and. May Foster. They werewalking up and down the unfrequentedend of the platform, arm in arm,looking into each other's eyes, care-less oi the sympathetic interest of theporters.

He stroked iiie little ungloved nanthat lay 011 the carriage door.

When lie spoke iu was to explain tome that his godfather, whose heir hwas, lay dying ac Pear marsh placesome lii'ty miles away, and had senfor John, and John felt bound to go

knew better than tohesitate a moment before buryingmyself In the booking office, and itwas not till the train drew up at theplatform that I obtrusively passedthe pair with my Gladstone and tookthe corner !n the lirst-class smokingcarriage. I did this with as goodan air of not seeing them as 1 couldassume. I pride myself on my dis-cretion, but Sf John was travellingalone 1 wanted his company. 1 hadit.

"Hello, old man," came his cherryvoice, as lie swung his baggage intomy carriage; "here's luck; 1 wasexpecting a .dull journey !"

"Where are you off to ?" I asked,'discretion still bidding me turn myeyes away, though I saw withoutlooking that hers were red rimmed.

"To old Branbridge's," he answer-bd, shutting the door and leaning outfor a last word with his sweetheart.

"Oh, I wish you wouldn't go, John,"she was saying in a low, earnestvoice. "I feel certain something willhappen."

"Do you think that I should letanything happen to keep me, and theday after to-morrow our wedding'day ?"

"Don't go," she answered, with apleading intensity which would havesent my Gladstone on the platform

•estily. Kvery man since Cain has•esented that kind ol a question.

"I thought you might liave heardroni him," she wemt on, "as you'rei give Inm away to-morrow.""Isn't ine back ?" I .asked, for I

liad confidently expected to find himait home.

"No, Godfrey,"—my sister alwayshad a way of jumping to conclusions,specially such conclusions as wereeast favorable to her fellow creatures

—"he has not returned and, what ismore, you may depend upon it, hevon't. You mark my words, there'll>e no wedding to-morrow."

My eister Fanny liad the power oflannoying me which no other humanjeing possesses.

"You mark my words," I retort-rith asperity, "you had better givep making such a thundering idiott yourself. There'll be more wed-ling to-morrow than ever you'll takehe first part in." A prophecy which,y the way, came true.But though I could snarl confi-

ently to my sister, I did not feel soomforUible when, late that night, Itanding on the doorstep of John'souse, heard that he had not returned,ext morning brought a brilliant bluery, gold sun and all such softness ofir and beauty of cloud as to makep a perfect day. I woke with aague feeling of having gone to bednxious, and of being rather averse

to facing that anxiety in the lightof full wakefulmess.

But with my shaving water camea note Srom John which relieved mymind and sent me up to Fosters witha light heart.

May was 5n the garden. 1 saw herblue gown through the hollyhocks asthe lodge gate swung to behind me.So I did not go tip to the house, butturned aside down the turfed path.

"lU's written to you, too," she said,without preliminary greeting, whenI (reached her bide.

"Yes, I'm to meet Jiim at the sta-tion awt three, and come straight tothe church."

Her face looked pale, but there wassi. brightness in her eyes and a lender•quiver passed about the mouth thatspoke of renewed happiness.

"Mr. liranbridge begged him so toStay another night that he had notthe heart to refuse," she went on."He is so kind; but I wish he hadn'tBtaid,"

I was at the station at 2.;5O. I felt(rather annoyed with John. I t seemedu- sort of slight to the beautiful girlwho loved him, tha t he should come,as it were, out of breath and withthe dust of travel upon him to takeher hand, which some of us wouldhave given the best years of our lifeto take. '

But when the three ;o'clock trainglided in and out again, havingbrought no passengers to our littlestation, I was more than annoyed.There was no other train Jor thirty-five minutes. I calculated that, withmuch hurry, we might get to thechurch in time for 'the ceremony—*but, oh, what a fool to miss thatfirst train. AVhat other man couldhave done it ?

That thirty-five minutes seemed ayear as 1 wandered around the sta-tion reading advertisnients, time ta-bles, and the company's by-laws andgetting more and more angry withJohn Charrington. This confidence inhis own powers of getting everythinghe wanted, the minute he wanted it,was leading him too Jar. I hate•waiting. Every one does, but I be-lieve I hate it more than anyoneelse. The 3.35 train was late, ofCourse. i

I ground my pipe between my teeth(and stamped with impatience ,as Iwatched the signals. Click ! ,Thesignals went down, showing that thetrain would not stop, as it had hopassengers for our station. Five min-utes later I flung myself into thecarriage that I had brought for John.

"Drive to the church !" I said, assome one shut the door. "Mr Char-Hngton Jiasn't come by this train."

Anxiety now replaced anger. AVhathad become of the man ? Could hehave been taken suddenly ill ? I hadnever known him to have a day'sillness in his life. And even so, he"might have telegraphed. Some aw-ful accident might have happened to

him. The thought that he had playedher false, never—no, not for a mo-•ment—entered my head. Yes, gome-thing terrible had happened to him,and on me lay the task oi tellinghie bride. I tell you I almost wish-ed tlie carriage•woiild upset and breakday head, so that some one else mighttell >her, not I, 'who—but that's noth-ing to do with the story.

It v. as 3.55 when we drew up at•ilic churchyard gate. A double rowof eager onlookers lined the path fromlich gate to porch. I sprang fromthe carriage ami passed up betweenthem. Our gardener had'a, good frontplace near ine door. I stopped.

"Are you waiting still, Byles ?" Iasked, simply to gain time, for ofcourse I knew they (were, by the wait-big crowd's attentive attitude.

"Waiting, sir ! No, no, sir; whjit must be over 'by now."

"Over ! Then Mr. Charringtoncome V"

'To the minute, sit; must havmissed you somehow, and I say, sir,lowering his voice, "I m-ever nee MiJohn the least bit so afore, but mjopinion is lie's been drinking prettjfree. His clothes were 'ail dusty anhis face like a, sheet. I tell youflidn't like the looks of him at al.and the folks inside are saying alsorts of things. You'll see something'gone very wrong with Mr. John, anlie's tried liquor. He looked like ;ghost, and in he went with his eyestraight before him, with neverlook or a word 'for none of us; hinthat was always such a gentleman !'

I (had never heard Byles make solong a speech. The crowd in thehurchyard were talking in whisper

•uid getting ready rice and slippersthrow at the bride and bridegroom

The ringers were ready with theirlands on the i-Opes, to ring out the

merry peal as the bride and brideproom should come out.

A murmur from the church a<n-ounced them; out they came. Byles

vas right. John Charrington did notook like himself. There was dust on

his coat; his hair was disarranged.He seemed to have been in some row,or there was a black mark abovelis eyebrow. He was deathly pale.Jut his pallor was not greater thanhat of his bride, 'who might havejeen carved 5n ivory—dress, veil, or-nge blossoms and all. 'As they passed out, 'the ringers stop-

>ed—there were six of them—and then,n the ears expecting the gay wedding

>eal came the slow tolling of the pes-ing bell.

A thrill of horror at so foolish aest from the ringers passed throughs all. But the ringers themselvesropped the ropes and died like rab-its down the belfry stairs. The brideluddered, and gray shadows camebout her mouth, but the bridegroom

ed her on down the path where the>eople stood with handfulls of rice;ut the handiuls of rice were neverirown, and the wedding bells neverang. In vain the r'ingers were urgedo remedy their mistake; they pro-sted with many whispered exple-ves that they would Bee themselves

urther first.

In a hush like a hush in the cham-er of death, the bridal pair passedto their carriage, and its door wasainmed behind them.Then the tongues were loosened. A

dbel of anger, wonder, conjectureuin tiie guests and the spec tat ore."If I'd Seen his condition, sir," said

old l'oster to me as we drove off, "1•would have stretched him on the floorof the church, sir, before I'd let himmarry my daughter '!"

Then he put his liead out of thewindow.

••Drive like fury," he cried to thecoachman; "don't Spare the horses."

He was obeyed. We passed thebride's carriage. 1 forbore to lookat it, and old Foster turned his headaway and swore. We reached homebefore it.

We stood in the hall doorway, inthe blazing afternoon sun, and in•about half a minute we heard wheelscrunching the gravel. When the car-riage stopped in front of the steps,old Foster and I ran down.

"Great heavens ! the carriage isempty ! And yet—"

I had the door open in a sninute,and this is what I saw:

No sign of John Charrington; andof May, has wife, only a huddled heapof white satin lying half on the floorof the carriage and half on the seat.

"I idrove, straight here, eir," saidthe coachman, as the bride's fatherlifted her out, "and I'll swear no onegot out oi the carriage."

We carried her into the house inher bridal dress and drew back herveil. I saw her face. Shall I everforget it ? White, white and drawnwith agony and horror, bearing sucha look of terror as I have never seen•since except in dreams. And her hair,her radient blonde hair, I tell you itwas white like snow.

As we stood, her father and I, halfmad with the horror and the mysteryof it, a boy came up the avenue—atelegraph boy. They brought the or-ange envelope to me. I tore it open!

"Mr. Charrington was thrown fromhis horse on his way to the station at1.30. Killed on the spot !"

And lie was married to May Fosterfin our parish church at 3.30 in pres-ence of half the parish.

"I shall be anorried, dead or alive !"What had passed in that carriage

on the homeward drive, no one knows—no one will ever 'know. Oh, May !oh, my dear !

Before a week was ;over they laidher beside her husband 'in our littlechurchyard on the thyme-covered hill—the churchyard where they had kepttheir love trysts. i

Another View.

There are two sides to all questions,and the Adrian Times presents anotherview of the Cleveland reception inthis city l>y Ann Arbor officials:

"Will the amiable burghers of AnnArbor, who presented Mr. ClevelandWith 'the freedom of ,the city,' put up•up in a. iHJx, ,all of which the tax-pay-ers will likewise have to put up for,please tell us what it is ? So far asan American city or an AmericanCitizen is concerned, such a proceed-ing is simply an act of abject nonsense.In some of the .English cities it iscustomary for the authorities to gothrough a performance of this sort,When some princeling or dukelet con-descends to visit them. The ceremonydoes mot convey much even there, butBo fax as an American municipalityis concerned, it is as vapid as it ismeaningless. As a gentleman of fairabilities and some accidental promi-nence, it was all Tiglit for the officialsof Ann Arbor to t reat the ex-presidentas an honored guest. But a manlyaddress of welcome, a nice souvenirfor his lovely wife, or a pretty baublefor his blessed baby, would have car-ried much more significance and heart-iness of hospitality, than the emptyceremony which they seem to havecarried out with as much impressive-ness as though 5t meant something.And in doing honor to our public(guests, dt is belittling on both sidesto emulate absurd and almost obso-lete old world frivoilities."

Sugar Cases Again.

In the attachment t*uits of Wm. H.Cottrell aind James U. Robertson,and also of Itohe Electric Sugar Ee-fining "Co., against the property ofOlive E. Friend, brought before Cir-cuit Court Commissioner McKernan,last week, he decided to dissolve theattachment, (rending an opinion inthe following words:

"The attachment mentioned in thisapplication to dissolve the same, setsforth three reasons for serving the•said attachment writs.

" 1 . That the defendant had ab-sconded, to the injury of her creditors.

•'2. That she had assigned, disposedof, or concealed her property withintent to defraud her creditors.

"3 . That she fraudulently contract-ed the debt.

"It appears to ane from the evidencethat the plaintiffs, 'before the attach-ment «uit was commenced, made noclaim against the defendant of anyIndebtedness whatever, and that shewas not aware of any such indebted-•tiess. It further appears from the evi-dence given before me, tha t she didnot abscond, nor intend to abscond,to the injury of her creditors, but thatShe. left the state for a brief time, by

ing arrested and taken to the stateof New York by virtue of a criminalprocess. I t has been proven clearlyto my mind that she had not assigned,disposed of, nor concealed her propertywith intent to defraud her creditors,and that the chattel mortgage of$1,500 given to Hatetead, and theone jyiven to Sawyer for $1,000, weregiven to secure an honest indebtedness,as I think she had a right to do un-der law. AVith regard to the $4,000real estate mortgage running to Mr.Barriman, which was recorded andno consideration paid for the same,it appears to me from the evidenceto be an honest endeavor to raisemoney for (legitimate purposes under•a. written agreement with Mr. Har-iman that lie would- advance the

tuuount if. after investigation, thesecurity proved satisfactory, and notwith tlio intention of defrauding any-one. And, lastly, the objection thatthe property had been receipted andis now in the possession of the defend-ant, and therefore ousts the commis-sioner of jurisdiction, in my opinionis not well taken and is not such arelease as is contemplated by the stat-ute which provides that the sheriffshall take a bond, etc. I t is there-fore ordered that the said attachmentsuit be dissolved."
