Corunna Journal: The organization of Patrons of Industry is said to be a new scheme to catch the unwary farm­ers. All the members agree to trade at one particular store on condition that the goods are furnished them at about ten per eon: above cost. The only ones who malo any tiling out of the scheme, it. is said, are the sharpers who organ­ize it. They get, a fee out of the store­keeper and every farmer who becomes a member.

Farmers are allowed 'lh cents fach for setting out yrting maples or shade trees along the highway of their farms. A law provides that each shade tree set 25 feet from the center of the road and 60 feet apart by the occupant o.f the property, he shall be entitled to a credit of'.15 cents for each iree to the amount of \ of his highway tax for each year. This is a proriiabje im­provement which farmers sbculd uni­versally adopt.

Gov. Luce's proclamation fixes Satur­day, May 20, as Arbor Day for all por­tion of the state lying south of the north line of Mason, Lake, Osceola, Clare, Gladwin, and Arenac counties, and Saturday, May 4, for 8.11 that portion of the state lying north of such lirje, The govenor says: "On the Arbor Days appointed, let the tree planting be in such appropriate spot or place as the judgment may select, but more especially would I urge that this year our roadsides and thoroughfares be remembered.''

Prof. K. Corazzi, leader of the White Eagle Italian band and orchestra, left his rooms at 69 Chainplain street yes­terday about 12::¾) o'clock and went to see his son Harry, who lives with his

, wife at 86 East Columbia street. As j his son was not in Corazxi told his daughter-in-law that bs would not wait, and returned to his room at 1:15 p . m . Five minutes later Mrs. R. H. Corry, in whoso house he roomed, heard a pistol shot and hurrying up stairs found Corazzi lying dead on the floor, having shot himself through the heajt. From the position in which the body lay it is evident that Corazzi stood in front of t»e looking glass and pointing the revolver a little below the left nip* pie fired the fatal shot. His white hair was smoothlv combed over his high forehead. Near his delicately shaped hand lay the weapon with which the deed was done, an old-fash­ioned 32-calibre revolver. A penknife

with a newly orofceo blade lying close beside him, taken together with bin freshly cut ahirt. whivh was dampened with water, would indicate that he fata tried to stab himself to death, bat fail­ing in the attempt resorted to tne putol, which he held so doeento.bifl brefttt that the powder blackened only the in­side of th« shirt and the skin.—[De­troit Tribune. It will be remembered by iiMny in this village tbafc Mr. Corazzi was the leader of the band here when it was organized, and while bet* he gained many friends, who will be pained to learn of his sadden demise.

Co Tuesday last we were invited to the pleasant farm of Frank A. Barton, in Unadilla, about five miles west of this village. His farm consist? of 142 | acr»s of fica land, under good culti­vation and wi^i many good buildings-After a pleasant chat, we were invited to view his fleck-of sheep, which are all full-blood Merinos. We were first shown a bunch which contained fifteen bucks, among the- Humbqr ,waa tStar Bismark," registered* rToc 87. He is three years; old -and was bctdeby Geo-. Wright of .Iosco. : This <bnnob> .range in ago from one to three y^ars-an'd they arte fine ones. The second bunch that we observed'tontained seventeen ewes and ten weathers from two to three years of age, all in good condition and carrying a neayy load of excellent wool, tie also has twenty-nine breed­ing ewes of the same blood who are in splendid condition and are raisins some fine Iambi, which are not quite one week old. In 1883 Mr. Barton first commenced to raise this blood otiijbeep, by purchasing, ten ewes of S. G. T^pb> and three from C. P. LaRuft of near this place, and now be has as fine* (look of Merino sheep at one* couid de­sire, but he haa not raised this exoaU lent flock without much work ana care. We were next shown the thor­ough-bred darham bull, "Oceola Duke,11

calved April 23, 1886, and bred by E ; C. Reed of Oceola, this county. He Ll a fine one and weighs about 1,900 pounds. Our tlrrje basing, limited, *•• were obliged to decline the invtta4ion\ to dine and KO we departed for oar home feeling well paid for our visit, and would respectfully urge all lovers of fine stock to visit this farm. You will find Mr. Barton an excellent farm­er as well a.s a gentleman.

It Would

"A new railroad is b«ing projected," said Frederick Carlisle, 51 Cam pan block, "and it is probable that a com­pany will s>oon be organized in Detroit to build it.. I t will be 163 miles long, and it is t i e intention to carry » through, Wayne county, a corneri of Oakland and thence through Living* ston, Ingham, Eaton, Barry and Al­legan counties to Saugatuek, on the shore of Lake Michigan. thei>e is no railroad io.*>n.ing parallel with this proposed line for 20 miles on .either side. The product of the country in these localities is very great. Allegan! Barry and Eaton in 1884 shipped 6.000.00U bushels of grain, not to men­tion catt'o and other products. Her*i tofore this has all gone south, but the proposed line will bring a large share into Detroit. I am assured that those three counties will subscribe $100,000 each in stock, and Ingham and Lit-mgston are good for $50,000 <ftcp. But of course the bulk of tb« capital will come from Detroit. Mr. D. IL ?erry is now looking over the plans and estimates, and 1. hope he will be­come interested in the scheme." • • ,

"There is another, road—the Colum­bus, Lima •& Northwestern—which ia to run from Columbus through Lima, Stcrgis and Allegan to Saugatuck, It has.built about 65 miles of road, has absorbed the South Haven & Kala­mazoo read and the Ohio & Mansfield, and wilt ab?torb some others. The ob­ject of this road is to carry coal from Ohio, and ferry the cars across Lake Michigan to Milwaukee, a distance of 83miles, thus bringing Minneapolis and the northwest 125 miles nearer the seaboard than by any other route. The road from Detroit it is hoped will enter into a business arrangement with the Ohio road, by which the fer­ries will be used mutually. The Ohio road has already ordered two boats a* an experiment. I have gone ahead on my own account, and snrveved a line* from Mason to Hamburg, a distance of' 35 miles, most of the right of way of, which has been secured. At present Mason people have to go to Jackson. or Lansing in order to reach a rail^ road. When built, this little line will connect them with the Detroit, Lan-4 sine & Northern at South Lyon, and with the Toledo & Northern apd Grand Trunk air line at Hamburg.—{De­troit Journal.

some tea year a ago there wa* a vig­orous prohibition crusade in Canada, and the dominion par l iament was in­duced to enact a local opt 'on law authorising counties and cities to de­cide every three year* for or against license. Trof. Gold win Smith states tho resu l t In tho province of Ontario there are forty-two counties and elev­en cities, of v/hish twenty-eight coun­ties and two ciiios adopted a prohibi­tory law. Tea of 1ho counties have recently reconsidered their vote, and in eightean countie* and two cities a movement is on foot to restore the licer.ee system. The prohibition law is treated as a daad letter throughout the ent i re province, the experience having been a ropotition of t ha t else­where with prohibition. I t substi­tuted for t he public and regular sale of liquors a gearsb and uncontrollable traffic. The business fell into the hands of irresponsible persons and tho moderate use of liquors ha* beon re­placed by secret drunkenness, wltA all i ts demoralizing results. In other par t s of the dominion prohibition has proved a dismal failure, and instead of promoting temperance ha3, according to Prof. Smith, brought smuggling, perjury, secret intoxication and syste­matic adulteration of liquors in itB train.

T h e Death List L*rge. Tho Tnman line steamer City of Chester

arrived in Queonntown Aprii V>. Sho re­ports that on April S, in latitude 40 north longitude 37 west, Bhe pasBed the Danish steamer Denmark, from Christiani * and Copenhagen for New York. The Denmark had been abandoned by her crew. Her stern was level with the soa and her bow stood high out of tho water. She was ar>-parently sinking. The Denmark was a vessel ot ^ 0 0 tons and belonged to the ihingvalia hue. ©Sho was commanded bv Capt, Knudson. Sh© was a bark-ricked yessl and was W0 feet long, .*o feet in in breuth and 20 feet deep, and the Den­mark had on board when ahe left Christians-end for New York on tho 2.. th of March ( hi pussengers, presumably all immigrants Including the vessel's captain, H. M Knudsen, tho crew numbered -to men

This was the vessel s first trip from the other Biue under her new colors, she havintr fo) merly been the Jan Rydl. •

The New York Agent of the Thincrvalla line says:

There were on board of her at the time of her departure probably ?7"> people. Of those Wu were passengers. Tho Denmark is commanded by Capt. Knudsen, an old seaman well known for his c:jura e and presence of minu, and he is not the man to ubundon a ship when there is one chance in even a thousand of getting her into port And we do n t believe he has abaud< ned her. She may have been disabled, but we are very nearly certain that she has not been abandoned.

The position in which the Denimrk 's said \o have been sighted abandoned is one m which she might very easily have been at the time, April S. She had at that time been out from Chriatiansend 13 days I do not think it at all improbable that some fearful calamity might have befallen her but allow us to slate that we do not believe • sho has been abandoned.

There wore a grout number of lifeboats-enough for the great passenger list—and several new life rafts of the latest pattern and improvements which could have ac­commodated the crew and onlcers and some of the passengers if there was not enough room in the lifeboats for them

At Auction. Some of the saddest scenes tha t one

could witness in tho lives of our dumb friends are a t the auction stables, where horses and mulos aro scH.

No ono ever buys a "jorse. just be­cause it is lamo and nick and worn out, but because it n cheap and "is suro to be cured.'1 J-'o, many a man makes off with a $8 or$f> mulo, which he hopes to work, when tho only ro;wl tha t beast should walk leads to tho bono yard.

There is no intentional cruelty on tho par t of tho purchaser—of course not. Tho horses and mules, while in the care of tho auctioneer, nro fed and pro­tected from tho weather. Surely he | cannot be held responsible for soiling a Eick, lame, disabled bruto to tho pur­chaser, who knew equally well its con­dition.

The man who »r>lls tho beast, who sends it sick and lamo and disabled to be sold - is ho cruel? How can ho be expected to keep all tho stock that wears out in his service?

Why, it is an easy calculation to see that it pays to buy and sell a sick, worn out animal. Say you give three, or even five dollars, for a mule. You take it homo and doctor it; medicine costs another fivo dollars; tha t is ton; food, at the lowest figure,"is, we will say, one dollar. Wi th an elovon dollar mulo the wise purchaser sallioi ' forth and looks for a load; ho waits probably an hour or two, or even a day or two, and finally ho gets his load. * But the" streets aro bad, and his mule, in spite of doctoring, isn't strong, the wagon sinks in the mud, and the whip fa i l" to bring strength to tho poor beast. Tho S. P. C. A. ottioor admonishes the now irato possessor of tho cloven dollar stjod. Persuasions aro useless; blows fall on the beas',; the man is arrestod; the mulo declared unfit for work; the owner fined ton dollars or ten days, for cruelly boating a disabled mule, and tho man soils tho beast to the bwieyard for one dollar, making himself out of pocket just twenty dollars! Homo he goes, a saddor if not a wiser man.

On tho other hand, did tho man who sent tho beast to auction

| upon tho proceeds of tho aalo? animal was sent to stables, it boarded, probably, "on terms to

tration and many such wore designa­ted to mo. I told tho southern people that before I loft tho north I had as­surances that President Harr ison 's ad­ministration would be non-sectional, tha t ho would know no east or west, north or south in tho conduct of h i i great office and tha t I would use what­ever influence I posaossed to eecure the appointment of reputable men to offices of the south.

"The day of tho carpet-baggor has gone by, and it was a disgraceful epoch in our party history. The southern people aro frank to say: 'Of course we do not allow tho nogro ro to to coun t Wo cheat them where they outnumber us, but we cannot, and will not allow them to rule us. ' I said to the gover­nor of South Carolina: «1 would ra the r have your race question than ours in the north. We have toconUmd against all the races of the world. Yours is a very simple problem and ono easy of solution.1 Then I suggested t ha t the southern states should, each of them, establish an educational qualification for suffrage when the intel l igent peo­ple, black us well as white, would be arrayed on one side and the ignorant on tho other, and they need have no fear of the black man when he is edu­cated. He seemed struck with the 1 idea, and remarked that the only fear they had of the negroes was of bad and cunning white men making use of them, as in tho old carpetbag days. I also said to tho governor; 'I seo you are trying to establish an emigrat ion bureau m tho north. Stop it. You want tho northern people; you don't want the European* You have now in the south the purest American blood in the country, and should koep it so.1

" I am not opposed to foreigners who como to this country with a knowlodgo of our institutions and become good citizens; but I am opposod to tho riff­raff who control the affairs of our grea t northorn cities. We have many foreign born people who are acquisitions to the country and are among our host citi­zens. ' One thing tha t surprised me very much was that the negroes are themselves dividing on a color lino, the l ighter ones separat ing themselves from the darker ones.

Ttn**»«f, MlcMftn. Thursday, April 18th, 1819

EJQHTKEN states in the union hare adopted scientifi 3 temperance educat ion laws, and congress has passed a law, which insures tlie instruction of yduth in principles of teraperence in the schools of the territories, the District of Columbia and the military and naval schools. These results are due to the efforts of the Woman's Christian Temp­erance Union, which devotes ranch energy, time and money to the work.

MB "m H. S. HOLMES & CO.,

STRONG pressure is being brought to bear in certain quarters to induce the legislature to restore the death penalty for murder. The Detroit Tribune of Friday last contained a long list of horrible .murders and assults that have taken place in Michigan during the past two years, with the object of set* ting the people to thinking. The list published shows 40 convictions for murder, 50 acquitals, and 22 trials pending. Eleven were sentenced to life imprisonment.

The Signal does not favor capital punishment, notwithstanding the above startling figures. It appears that more than one-half of the trials for murder resulted in acquittal, but ft does not' necessarily follow that any considerable number of those ac^uited were inno­cent. A little money and a shrewd lawyer are very frequently quite suf­ficient to ward off punishment. The unjust privileges allowed to lawyers are indeed astonishing, and the reform we believe should provide fehat jarors must be men of recognized intelligence and must promise under oath to render a verdict in harmony with the evidence, according to their best judgment. Such men aie the ones most likely to "judge righteous judgment." The preposterous idea that a juror may be okgtfited to because he is reasonably in-taUifNrt should be done away with by %W* STfce numerous other points of 1»*« whereby attorneys are enabled to ttMVre delays,—new trials, changes of ttnue, etc., should be changed so as to Secure justice, rather than the contrary as at present. If a largo number of the lawyers themselves could be trans­ported to some distant uninhabited island the affect would be very salu­tary.— [Springport Signal.

We do not hesi­tate to guarantee them every time, and we stand ready to refund the purchase price, if satisfactory results do not fol­low their use. These remedies have won their popularity purly on their merits. F. A. Sigler, Druggist.

Gov. Luco has issued the following Arbor Day proclamation:

An old proverb tells us "That ho who plants a tree loves others besides himself."

The voices of spring again remind us of life and lives to come, and of duties to others, that-only the recurring seasons, can ripen lor enjoyment.

In chid accord with a happy custom, I designate as Arbor Day for all that por­tion of the state lying south of the north line of Mason. Lak'j, Osc\ ola, Chi re, Glad­win and Arenac count ie.-\ Saturday, April tJO, and for all that port-ion of the state ly­ing north of such line, Saturday, May 4.

The ax and saw are fast disrobing our fertile state of her native green, and only those who are willing to plant and wait for their reward, van give back to her and Tier rich soil the blessings she would pre­serve to our children.

Tho blazed and crooked path through the dark forest, a few years since, has changed to the now dusty and shadeless highway.

Looking to the beauty, comfort and good •of Michigan in days to come, wisely do our laws invito tho adornment of highways, by providing that :

"Shade trees shall bo planted along both sides of the public highways at tho uniform distance, cs near as may be, of sixty feet apart, and not leas than twenty threo nor more ihan twenty-five feet from the center of the highway," and that, "Any person planting shade trees along the highways, adjacent to property owned or occupied by such person, shall be entitled to be credit •ed twentv five con's upon his highway tax for e ;cry tree so planted, but not to exceed in tho aggregate twenty-five per cent of such person's highway tax in any one yea r . "

On tho Arbor day appointed let the tree planting be in such appropriate spot or place as the judgement may select, but more especially would I urge that this yeur our roadsides and thoroughfares be remem­bered, To the loyalty of a state that has over been

true. _ AruLi'hu dried better than it know,"

To a people "loving others besides them i elves,"

and desirous of thoir hnppiness, I do most respectfully appeal for the observance of •this beautiful custom.

in witness wheroof, I have on this 41b day of April, A. D. l c ^ , sot my hand and caused to bo affixed horeto the great seal of the Bta-'-e of Michigan*

Crura G LUCE. By tho Governor:

G. 11. 0.>MI;N, Secroiary of State.

Hon. Stephen Pearl died at Greonbu3h, Clinton county, recently, aged 7J years. Ho settlod on tho farm where ho died in 1845, and held most of the offices of t rus t in his township nnd county. In 1850 he was elected county treasurer, the first whig over elected to any office in Clin Ion county, jrnd wus re elected fo. r times. In 18W> Mr. Poarl was chosen by tho republicans to ropreaent the second district in the state ledsl . i tyre, and in I:OS was elected to the s u t o senate from tho twenty-first district, •comprlsis^ Cliutou and Ingham counties.

Brained With an Axe Axel Anderson, Gust Jacobsoo, August

Rouse and M. Johnson (alias Storhankesy) , Swedes, were drinking freely in Cadillac the other afternoon. The fight was be­tween Jacobsoo, Johnson and House, until Johnson got Jacobson down and someone shouted "He lp ! He ' s killing m e ! " There­upon Anderson, who had taken no part hitherto, seized an use lying near by and struck both Johnson and Jacobson with tho bead of it.

Johnson was hit on the back, just below the neck, and his spine is ser oualy in.ur-ed. Jacobson was hit on the top of tho bead, midway between the right temple and the ' crown, and his skull crushed FO that a spot of his brain as large as a silver dollar is exposed. Ho will probably die. Anderson uud House arc in jail awaiting examination.

M i c h i g a n C r o p R e p o r t . The April crop report shows tho condi­

tion of wheat for the state, April 1, com­pared with tho vitality and growth of aver­age years to bo 9:J per cent Wheat attain­ed a small growth in tho fall, tho winter has been an open one, and the plant hud made no spring growth up to the date of mailing rc|>orts; yei the wheat has winter­ed well and no fears are expressed that the loss from winter killing is greater thau in average years.

The condition of clover meadows and pastures are not promising. Those seeded previous to last year aro believod to bo en­tirely ruined; by the drouth of last sum­mer, however, rather than by winter kill­ing. Last y o u r s seeding where there was a "catch ' is reported fairly good. •

The outlook for fruit is eucouraging.

clergyman, " the funeral service* of ene of my porlshouers. l i e had bee» • farmer. For ty years ago he commenced work with 100 acres of land, and he ended with one hundred. He was a skilifuL Industrloue worktngman, but he had laid by no money in the bank. I understood tho reason aa I listened to the comments of his friends and neighbors." ••

" i t was always a warm, hospitable house," said one. "The poor man *<& never turned away from the doer. H i s sons and daughters always received t h e best education his means could command* One Is a clergyman, one a civil engineer, two are teachers—all lead useful and huppjr l ives."

Said another*. "Those children si t t ing there weeping ure tho orphans of a friend. He gave them a home Thut crippled gir l is his wife's niece. She lived with them for years . Tha t young fellow who is also weeping so bitterly was a wuif t h a t he res-cued from the slums of the city."

And so the story went on -not of a m who had heaped dollar upon dollar, but servant of God who had helped many li and had lifted many of them out of mi and ignorance into life and joy.

On my way home from the funeral stopped at the farm of auother parishioner, who said to mo, in a shrill, rasping tone;—

"So poor Gould is dead! He loft a poor account -not a penny more than hegotfrom his father. Now, I started with nothing; and look here," pointing to his broad fields, 4,I own down to tho creek. D ye know why* When 1 started to keep house i brought this into it the first thing," taking an iron savings bank iu the shape of a wolf out of the closet.

Other folks dressed the i r wives in merino; mine wore fulico. Other men wasted money ou schooling; my boys and girls learued to work euriy and keep it up late. I wasted no money on churches, sick people, paupers and books. And," he concluded triumphantly, ' n u w I own t t the creek; and that land, with the fields yonder, aud the stock iu the barns, are wor h SIO.UX). Do you sen"

And ou the thin, hut'd lips was a wretch­ed attempt to laugh. The house was bare und comfortless; bis wife, worn out wi th work, had long ago gone to her grave. Of his children, taught ouly to make money a god, one daughter, starved in body and mind, was still drudging in the ki tchen; oue sun had taken to drink, haviug no other resource, and died in prison. The other, a harder miser than bis father, remained at home to fight with him over every penny wrung out of their fertile fields

"Yesterday I buried this man," con­tinued the clergyman. "No ther neighbor, nor friend, son nor daughter, shed a tear overlain. His children wore e iger to be­gin the quarrel for the ground he had sacrihYed his life to earn. Of it a l he had now only enough to cover his decrying body.

"A TALISMAN." BY HON. M H 8 . N .P .

CHAPTER I. at are we waiting for, oh, my heart?

me straight ou the brows, and part; bod bye, summer; good bye, hope;

Goodbye—good bye!" She san<j, with a fervor of passion

in the ringing rich tones. The man bending over her listened with darken­ed eyes and set face to tho despai r ing WOl'dB.

••Why do you choose aon^s Hko that?1 1 he asked almost angri ly , when she had finished.

Sho looked at hira aa she roso, and stood, a tali exquisite i lgure in t ra i l ing robes of apricot bilk and cream lace; her long rounded arras, b a r e to tho shoulder, hung down before her , tho little lingers t ightly interlaced; h e r neck, long and slender, rose grace-ful l j as a swan's from the soft lace veiling1 the white shoulders. Her face was most beautiful, perfect in feature, perfect in coloring, l ighted by glori­ous eyes, deep and soft and dark ; a face tha t a man might live or die for, and as Kberhard Leigh gazed into it, his b rea th quickened, his eyes deep­ened.

" W h y do you sing such wretched songs?11 he demanded again impera­tively.

Elvira Beauchamp moved from the piano ere she replied.

She gained the shadow of the heavy cur ta ins at one of the windows, and then she looked at hor companion again, and said sadly,

"They suit me best; they are the only ones In harmony with my own life."

' "Nonsense!" from him almost rough­ly. Then, with sudden entreaty in his low rich voice: " I t shall not be 'Good­bye, ' Elvira, for us, I t shall not.11

" I t will break my hear t if it is, Ebe rha rd , " the girl said softly, with a little catch in her breath .

"It. need not bo unless you so decree i t . "

" I ? What am I against fate?" She shrugged her shoulders and he r eyos hardened. " I t is fale that , has de­creed you shall bo penniless, and I—• a t tbis moment, Kberhard, my debts a r e so many and so pressing tha t I al­most fear imprisonment ."

" I wish that I could sell my worth-loss existenco and pay them for you!11

was the man's passionate response. "Would you do so much for mo?"

gently. "Would you indeed give me self-sacrifice? But, no—I know how men talk. Words a rc very different from actions."

"Tel l me one thing I can do for you and I will do it."

She answered him with a look, but 1hen hor eyes wandered away, and they fell upon a man at tho other end of the largo drawing-room, who was watching her with a scowl upon his s tern, huwk-liko face.

She mot his glance, and instantly she glided from Leigh and took a seat in a then tu rn to scow!, for the hawk-faced man went promptly across to her, and the inveterate coquctto turned with a brill".ant smile to greet him.

Yiberparil Leigh had only ono ad­vantage o,-er his r ival—that of person-si appearance.

Leigh was a splendidly handsome man. CTory inch a soldier, tall and broad: magnificently strong, yet easily graceful—dark, bronzed, finely mould­ed.

Sir Peter Ruskin was ugly and of thin, cramped figure; but he was a biironoT-. and possessed a rent-roll of twelve thousand per annum.

Wferlianl Leigh had nothing save bay. ai;d a slender allowance from

Ifmclo, old Lord Lester. The run-Wi,s scarcely even.

Ai Mifes Leachamp deliberately do-ler ted him for his rival, lvcigh crossed the room, and heedless of the glances of ono or two iniTrs o t^bTighreyes who" would have welcomed him gladly, he took, a seat by the side of a child of 12 vears, who was looking at, the scene before her without a t tempt ing to mix in it,

"Does this amuse you, Dorothy? ' ' tint) soldier asked. "Do you like

"I verily

Dorothy—you a re a l i t t le witch for seeing and reading secrets—do you th ink I am making a fool of myself?"

T h e child1* glance t raveled over to where he r cousin E lv i ra sat l istening with radiant expression to something t h e baronet was whispering in hor ear.

" I suppose you can' t help it. Mr. Le igh , " she said.

"You are r ight , Dorothy. I can't . Do you think I bhouldbe wiser to help It?1 ' he went on in s t range persistency.

Quite a look of womanly pity stole Into the child' 8 eyes as she rested them upon the handsome troubled face.

" E l v i r a means to mar ry Sir Peter,1 ' Dorothy said quietly, and then, with­out waiting to see the effect of her blow, in kindly compassion loaving it to be borne unseen, the girl got up and went out of the room.

Half an hour lator, perhaps, tho po­sitions of tho actors in the d rama were changed again. Sir Peter Bad gone into the smoking-room, and all such guests as were r u t staying in the house had taken thei r depar ture . Elvira Beauchamp, by ono of he r adroi t movements, had gained Eber-hard 'a side.

"You look like a thunder cloud,'1

she said saucily. " A r e you meditat ing a murder , may I a s k ? "

"May I ask how much longer you contemplato playing fast and loose with two str ings to your bow?" he re­turned grimly. " I t may be very amusing for you, bu t "

"Dea th to you. Is lha t i t ? " " I t would be tha t , I verily believe

—death , or something less prefer­ab le , " in slow passion-fraught tones.

" I contemplate no th ing , " the co­quet te said impatiently. " I am tho sport of fate, as I told you before; I shall just bo thrown in the direction it chooses."

" I was told this evening t ha t you intended to marry Rusk in."

" I have often been told tha t I am going to marry you,11 she laughed.

"Make it t r ue . " His hands clasped hers with vice­

like pressure. She winced and laughed. " I am not prepared for any ex t reme

moasure yet ." "Elvi ra , you told me you loved m e . " Hoarse and unsteady his voice be­

came. " I tell you it again; I lovo you, Eb­

"You shall not ask him. Would you sto:>p to anything of that k ind?"

His face was as white as death. " I don't stoop; I am knocked down

by fate," Miss Beauchamp returned easily. "By tho way, dear, did you make that application to your uncle?"

" I did," grimly; "and with tho re­sult I anticipated, of course. Here is his letter. He absolutely refuses to lend me ono far thing."

"Lot me look at what ho says ," Sho took the let ter from him and

scrutinized it eagerly, moving a little nearer tho light as she did so.

"Whin curious handwri t ing!" she said. " I think I will koop it. if you will le'o mo, Eberhard. I like odd specimens of ca l igraphy."

"By all means koop i t ," negligently, but then in quiekoned tono ho said: " W h a t are you going to give me for it, Elvi ra?"

" W h a t do you th ink it is wor th?" coquettishly, uplifting h'^r lovely face.

"Noth ing could bo worth such re­ward, but I ask for a kiss, my dar­l ing . "

"You are very bold, sir ." She glanced round, and no ono was able to seo, so sho smil-ed at him. "My hands . I suppose, you mean?" up-rais. ing the pret ty little jeweled lingers.

"You know otherwise ." Ho stooped boldly and pressed his

lips on hers, and she did not rebuke him; she almost re turned the caress, and thon sho tr ipped away lightly, in­differently, ...as if it were nothing to hor, this kiss which meant so much to h im; and gloomily he stood the re thinking, long after Elvira had left h im:

" I t is folly—it. is madness—it is an impossibility, 1 his love of mine; and yet I cannot give her u p . " he said. " I could sooner pa r t with my life."'

A touch on the shoulder broke his reverie, and the object of his thoughts stood beside him.

There was a slightly troubled ex­pression in the beautiful eyes as they wore iiftcd earnest ly to his, a s l ight quiver \ipon the lovely lips as Elvira said softly:

"Did you moan your words just now, Eberhard? Would you indeed do any­th ing for mo?"

"Anyth ing in tho power of man to d o . "

Ho drew Yier to him as his eyes giv% od devotedly into hers , and his voice thri l led in it*< ut terance.

"Would you boar anything for my sake—I mean, bear anything to m a k e mo happy?"

"My darl ing, yos . " "Then you are better, nobler than

man ever was before," she said with emotion in her voico and something suspiciously lileo tears in her eyes. The next moment sho was in his arms, folded closo to his heavily-boating

hear t , while b i t Usees fell l ike r a in upon he r br ight d a r k ha i r . " I love you—oh, Eberhard , I do love you!" sho murmured. "You aro better to me than I deserve.11

"My love—my dar l ing! Bo t rue , be patient , Elvira, my own, 'fcntl surely we shall eonquer our difficulties. Love must conquer fate.11

"Noth ing could kill your love for me?11 she asked again , uplifting those glorious eyes. They might have charmed a man's very life from h im; they charmed away Leigh ' s reason.

"No th ing , " he re turned vehemently.

The next day, in the Furk, Miss Beauchamp sat in he r carr iage drawn up under he r favorite t ree , and ad­mirers thronged up to her as usual.

Elvira was in a closed car r iage for a wonder, and she looked pale and far from well. She had a cold, she said.

Sir Peter Ruskin was s tanding close by the window of the brougham, mo­nopolising with easy hau teur its beauti­ful occupant; but Elvira1* eyes wan­dered ever and anon over the passers-by with wistful eager look, and half the t ime she answered Sir Peter a t random. He put .it down to confusion, caused by his own at tent ions, and was not one whit displeased.

But suddenly the lovely blue eyes brightenod, the fair face flushed fever­ishly, and Miss Beauchamp, r is ing from her seat, waved one of her l i t t le gloved hands half imperat ively, half entreat ingly.

Instant ly the invitat ion was answer­ed by Eberhard Loigh, who strode th rough tho little crowd to shake hands with the beauty.

Sir Peter scowled; Loigh smiled. The moment t r iumph was his, for El­vira 's eyes were fixed on his with a look which made his hea r t beat tu­m u l t o u s l y ; her l i t t le fingers clung to h ' s almost convulsively; heedless of the diabolical expression set t l ing upon the baronet 's face as he thus saw his rival preferred.

" I want to see you 90 much, Mr. Leigh. I want to speak to you. Will you come for a tu rn round tho Park with me' 1 1 Miss Beauchamp said hur­riedly.

Eberhard ' s face l ighted; he bent for­ward eagerly.

"Of course I should like it above all th ings, but I am bound to be at tho bar racks in half an hour . "

He glancod at his watch. "Half an hour! Oh, you have lots

of t ime! You can jump out at tho cor­ner of D, street. Oh, do come! You can' t refuse me now.11

He could not refuse tha t tone and glance, of course.

" J o h n , open the door for Leigh," tho young lady said impat ient­ly, and the servant sprang from the box and obeyed.

Leigh got in, leaving Sir Peter bo-hind like a veritable fury, and tho li t­tle brougham whirled away.

But alone with her lover Elvira sat mute and whito, loaning back in her corner as far as possible from him, and gazing with troubled eyes out upon tho scenes they passed.

Leigh touched he r hand. "Dar l ing you had something to say

to mo?" Sho turned a dazzling, bewildering

smile upon him. it was only tha t I y •;<.!. with mo, Eber-

I>Ii\

I think to have

No wan tod h a r d . "

"My dar l ing." l ie bent his head and impressed a

passionate kiss upon tho littlo gloved ban J. She lot it remain quiescent in his clasp, but roplied nothing.

" I s anything troubling you, sweet?" he asked after a pause, r egard ing earnostly the palo face.

" T h e same old th ings ; they always trouble mo," she said with a sigh. "But I will throw them off and be happy . "

She did not glance at him as she slowly spbke, but her tone and its words thri l led his very hear t . <J

"You mean you are going to accept me and mv love?" he cried rapturous­ly.

"T am going to accept your love," was the curious answor.

Leaning back in the little brougham he put his arm round he r waist, -and for some instants his hear t beat too fast for words.

Hi;? eyes devoured her exquisite face with loving devotod gaze, but the girl did not meet his eyes; perhaps sho fearod tha t if she did so he r lover would forget t ime and place, and be­come too demonstrative.

She rested quietly within the s t rong encircling arm, but she kept he r gaze tgrned sadly, curiously, from the win­dow. ~

The sound of a clock s tr iking aroused Eberhard Leigh from his dream of bliss to a remombranoo of duty. Ho was too thorough a soldier to forgot his work at even so supreme a moment as this .

Ho got \ip and opened tho carr iago-door.

"Youn^ed not stop the man, Elvira. I can jump out easily here. Good-bye, my own!"

Ono long passionate glance, ono pressure of lips upon the tiny hands.

" I shall seo you at your danco to­morrow evening."

And Elvira watchod his tnll figure str ide across the street , then pull ing tho chock-string sho gave hor coach­man now orders.

Eberhard sat alone in his room in

t h e b a r r a c k s a s t h e nex t day'v evening grew late.

H e was dressed for t b e h a l l a t the Beauch&mps* bo&ae* a n d he had every luioatio© of going th i the r as soon as t h o t i m e would permit ,

"P lease , sir,11 his servant opened t h e door with an unusual degree of cau­tion, " some one is enquir ing for yoa , Mr. Le igh ."

" W h o is i t ? " in bored tone. T h e se rvan t came in and took t h e

precaut ion to shu t tho door behind him.

" I t ' s two of 'cm, Mr. Loigh, and I don ' t l ike the i r looks. They were bore after you th is afternoon, but you was real ly out then , and I told t h e m so. If you'd like now just to blip out t h e window way, sir, I can keep 'em in t he dark for a few minutes longer; only you had best be quick, s i r ," sig­nificantly.

" D o you mean they are bailiffs, Sim^?" his mas te r asked amusedly.

" P l l t ake my oath on it, sir, or they a re something worse. I 've seen BO many of 'em in my time, I know 'era at a glance. You'd best take my ad­vice, sir, and just slip quietly ou t while I "

"Nonsense, SimB. I 've no th ing pressing; it must be some mistake. I ' l l sett le it in a moment. Show the fel­lows u p . "

But as Sims, with aggrieved face, stepped back to the door, he found tha t the fellows had shown them­selves up, and as the door was opened they made good the i r entrance.

" J u s t what I expected," said tho servant to himself. " I knowed 'em a t a g lance ."

And taking u p his position outside the door, he waited for following events.

One man walked s t ra ight up to Eberhard and put a heavy hand on his shoulder.

"You are arrested, Mr. Leigh. You had best come along with us quiet and wo'll make no fuss."

"Arres ted l Wha t do you mean, fellow?"

With gigantic s t rength he threw off the impert inent grasp, but his com­panion came to the official's rescue.

"You know well enough what for— a charge of forgery. You had best come along quietly. WThen gentlemen, do these th ings they must expect these resul ts—sometimes."

"Fo rge ry ! You are making some mistake, my man, for which you will have to pay pret ty dearly. I would advise you to be a litWe more correct in your ideas before you come on an e r rand like t h i s , "

" I t ' s correct enough. You've forged your uncle's, Lord Lester 's , name for tho tidy sum of two thousand pounds. Here 's the cheque if you want to see it aga in . " He held a piece of paper jiiet out of Leigh's reach. " I t is a splen­did imitation of his lordship's wri t ing, only the bank thought the sum an un­usually large one, so they made a few inquiries, which resulted in his lord­ship 's declaring it a distinct forgery; the bank are going to prosecute^"

"But what evidence have you thatVl^ committed the forgery?" Leigh asked, his face set, his head uplifted proud­ly. " I tell you again, my man, you shall pay dearly for this mis take."

"Plenty of evidence, sir, in the note you wrote yourself to the bank asking them to cash the cheque and give the money to t h e b e a r o r ; it would be quite safe, you told them. You signed tho note with your own name in full you see/1, holding it in its turn before Leigh's eyes, but beyond his reach. "You can' t get over that . Mr. Le igh ."

Longevity. Scientific men see BO reason

span of human Ute may aot b e e r k n a rouad hundred years from tbe limit of TO to 80 year*.

Tbe age to which persona Old Testament chronolog

From Adam's time to and Noah, men are record well nigh the age of 1,' _ _ ^ Psalmist David however s a y s J ^ T b e day* of our age are three score years and t ea ; and though men be so strong th*t they come to four score years, yet is their strength then but labor and sorrow; aa soon paaaeth it away uud we are gone."

This wide margin of longevity, together with proper observance of mental, mora) and physical laws, lead investigators to believe that it ia possible that human life might be made to increase in length ef daya to a full t enury , at least.

Moderation and regularity in eating, drinking and sleeping are conducive te lon­gevity, and those who observe proper hab­its and use pure and efficacious remedies when sick, may accomplish immense labor with no apparent injury to themselves and without foreshortening their lives.

Hon. H. H. Warner, President of the Rochester, N. Y., Chamber of Commerce* and manufacturer of the celebrated War­ner's Safe Cure, bas devoted much time and research to this sub act of longevity, and has arrived at the satisfactory conclu­sion that life may be prolonged and man's virile powers increased and preserved a t tbe same time by rational and natural means. Thousands of j>eraons are living-to-day—enjoying tbe blessing of perfect health and vigor—who will testify to the almost magical efficacy of Warner's Safe Cure in restoring them to physical potency and to the normal type of constitution, after they had almost given up hope ef life.

After middle age, many becrin to lose their wonted visor of body, and thereupon give way to inerineBs and useless repining. Vet all such have within reach that which both renews youth and contributes to the prolongation of life. Warner's marvelous Safe Cures are in every drug store, and a r e now regarded as standard specifics throughout the civilized world.

Tbe strong desire to attain old age— meantime retaining tbe virile powers of body and mind—is necessarily connected With the respect paid to aged persons, for people would scarcely desire to be old, were the aped neglected or regarded with mere sufferance. That is a high civiliza­tion in which age is made a source of dis­tinction. Of all marks of respecf, that to-age is most willingly paid, because every one wbo does homage to age may himself, eventually, become us ab.ect of such Lorn-age.

Corncobs for ..Fuel. In the west, corncobs are a marketable

commodity for fuel, and loads of cobs are brought into the cities from the farmers in the country and cold te the city people, who prefer them to wood for summer use, and in the winter use them for kindlings to light the coal fires. Some pour a little kerosene over u few and use them as torchea to st rt the first. They ignite qui* kly and are very convenient. Cobs are kept picked up and saved in this country more economi­cally than hardwood chips in the east. Thoy make a quick fire for summer use, and an­swer every purpose for cooking. Wood and coal are very expensive, and it is a matter «f economy to use these as a substi­tute.

MAGNITUDE, PROPORTION, PROGRESS. The income-and disbursements of the Company surpass those of any state ii*

tho American Union. Its accumulated assets are greater than the capital of the Bank of England. Its New Insurance Written in 1888 was preater than the value of all farm hinds in the state of Cpnneticut. Its insurance in forcrf January 1, 1882, was grcuter than the value of the annual wheat crop of tbe1

The business of the Company was never on a more satisfactory basis. The accrued and unpaid interest January 1, 1889, some of which was'not duo, wa$ less than one-half of one per cent, of the assets. The market value of securi­ties over cost value on,tho Company's books is over three and a half milliorf dollars. The agency force is well organized and the business is continually inore'asinc. The death and expense rate is low, and tho income in 1888 exceed­ed the disbursements by nearly ten million dollars. The surplus of the Com­pany is ampL and increasing, and the returns to policy-nOlders exceed ten' million dollars yearly.

Is it wis© to flatter yourself with the thought that*you WILL SURELY ESCAPE the misfor­tunes thai overtake so many of your fellow men? Ts it prudent to leave that which so nearly concerns you and yours to uncertainty when j^ou might male it sure?
