:. Miss Douglass .t
"And who the dv is Miss Douglasss"
"a young lady that l saw here in July last
your mistress suppose"
GU do! Well, them let me tell you you're
mistaken. The young lady that you met here
in July last was a forward mink that Misses left
to take care of the house when the family went
to Niagara. She was modest girl as ever was,
till a blackguard in Vermont made a fulc of
her.. -s..,..
you said BLACKBOARD in Vermont, /
think!'
81 did, and repeat it. If he had not been a
blackguard he would not have sent her a gold
watch, and an indecent letther with little boys
than brooches luck to him."
.'Wen never mind about all that. Can you tell
me where can find the person refe rred to"
mo can't and i'll could ! wouldn't, for
have an idea that you are no better than the
other BLACKBOARD"
Biddy having said this, slammed the door and
retired to the kitchen. The information re.
ceiycd, at the Pearl street mansion struck Mr.
Granger 'all of heap" The idea that he had
been counting a servant girl for an heiress
drove him almost to distraction. But this wai
not the worst of it. Mr.. Granger had not only
suffered in his .bussom," but in his pocket
following presents to Miss Douglass: se
One gold watch valued at $l2o; one set o
ear rings worth $40, and diamond breast pir
worth sos, making grand total of $3.50.
To get back portion of this treasure, Mr.
Granger repaired on Wednesday to the Police
Office. He told his story to Justice Parsons
and wished to swear out warrant for false pre-
tence against Miss Douglass. --..
"For what" asked the magistrate. ,qs.,5ss
For putting on French airs and doing me ou
of two hundred and ninety dollars worth of jew
elry," replied Mr. Granger.
The Justice informed Mr.. Granger that there
was no lawforbidding I" French airs, and thai
he could not possibly have warrant
!" And what would you have me dos"
Go home to Burlington and resolve never
again to be sold by Pearl street chambermaid
even if she INDUCES in French airs and smiles
from parlor window. !"
Mr. Granger left the Office saying he would
think it over, We saw him abont an hour after

The Republican Call.

Above will be found the call for Republi-
can meetings and Conventions in Ramsey
County and the Second Council District, pre-
paratory to the election which takes place
one week from next Tuesday. 1t is scarcely
required at our hands to enjoin upon our
friends the necessity of acting promptly and
with spirit in the fulflImcht of the prelimi-
naries recommended by the Committee. Our
opponents are on the alert, in fact are already
in the field and if we would redeem the
city and county from their corrupt rule it
behooves us to act at once to act properly,
and with view to place in Office men who
will in all respects attend faithfully to the
public interests.
The primary meetings in the city ard
country take place Saturday afternoon and
evening. Let all who feel an interest in
good government and the great cause of
Freedom, be prepared to take part in these
deliberations of the people.
