of his hand" replied Gena, almost in
a whisper; "and now, Estelle, leave
me alone. l am pleased to mediate
this morning"
Estelle arose and kissed Gena's
white cheek, promising to soon have
a long chat with her.
When Gena was alone, she groaned
aloud, pressed her hands against her
head, and then starting up paced the
room backwards and forwards, giving
her deep anguish of mind vent in these
words: "No longer have l sister;
alone | stand in the world; l am lost
in amazement when think of her sub
tie treachery; she knows how devoted
ly l have loved Count de l.; how
like an adder he has stung me, and
trampled my true affections under foot;
but her vile hypocrisy, and Louis de
LIS base treachery 1 can endure; but
can be awake and hear that my father
has secretly sought to blast all my
future happiness? Why, o why, is
this? Ny dear father, my heaven on
earth-and he to freely wrong his de-
voted child o, death, death, come
and snatch me from these horrible tor
ments which are racking my brain and
heart" r-..
Gena, exhausted, threw herself upon
the couch, her eyes fixed on vacancy,
each muscle rigidly stiffened. Thus
for long time she lay perfectly life
less. When Jennie entered the room,
all traces of the anguish which had so
racked her was gone, save languid
ness. That evening Gena remained in
her room; she could not shake off the
gloom and sorrow which crushed her,
and trampled all her feelings into the
dust
When the stiffness of the night
proclaimed the inmates of fright
Bower quiet, the sound of revelry
hushed, Gena, with her servant,
Jennie. sought one of the summer
houses in the garden, to enjoy the
cool evening breeze, and relieve her
self of the atmosphere of that room
where for the two last months she had
shed so many bitter tears, and whiled
so many tedious hours. The harbor
in which the two girls took shelter,
was quite long one, running nearly
to the road which was a quarter of a
mile distant. They were soon start
ed from their reverie by the voice of
Mr.. Pitt, who appeared to be convers-
ing some one, who proved to be the
the Count de L. Gena heard their
cruel, strange words, rs the two pass
ed on slowly towards the house
Count de L see you fully I'M
derstand me-" said Mr.. Pitt rather
loudly. "The fact is, Abgena has
given me much uneasiness, but / in
tend to do my duty towards here's
telle is the heiress to my wealth"
Gena heard no more, their voices
grew faint in the distance, and her
brain whirled in maze of excitement.
That night she decided to leave her
home, and maintain herself; not even
Jennie was informed of her resolution
until she had quietly arranged every
thing, and then her beloved attendant
was made acquainted with her former
hopes, and readily consented to fol-
low the fortunes of her mistress
The day before the wedding while the
house was in great confusion, Gena
and Jennie took passage in boat for
New Orleans, starting from there to
New York, where Gena intended to
adopt the stage, and to become an ae-
tress.

INTRODUCTION OF GAs.-Wm. Muir
dock of Cornwall, England, is said to
be the first who used gas for the pur-
pose of illumination.
1t was first publicly used at a manu-
factory in Cornwall during the year
1902.
1t was first used in London in 1909.
In 1916 it was introduced into Balti-
more, in 1917 into Philadelphia, in
1922 into Boston, and in 1925 into
New York, when the New York Gas
Light Company was chartered.
In 1880 there were only four Gas
Companies in the United States. In
1910 the number had only increased to
ten. At present the number is four
hundred and fifty-two-
The price of gas per one thousand
cubic feet varies in the large cities
from SO Is to IS. 1t is cheaper in
Pittsburg than any other city-selling
for only 81 80 per thousand.
1t is used in four hundred and thirty
cities and towns in the United States,
at an average cost in the large cities Of
% 10 per thousand, and in the smaller
towns Of 81 20 per thousand.

A Bureau is sadly needed in Yam
kee land for the benefit Of white trash.
Boston papers give the particulars of
brutal whipping inflicted by the teach
ers Of female school in Cambridge,
near Boston, on young lady, aged
sixteen, who was a pupil. .... Il
One teacher clasped her hand on the
mouth of the struggling girl, the mas
ter held her firmly to a settee, another
teacher beat her with strop, and still
another teacher was employed playing
lively tune on the piano, to which
the screams Of the sufferer served as
an accompaniment. Now if this had
been in Mississippi, and the girl ne
gress, it would have been horrible.
But as it was only white girl, and
among the highly refined and cultivated
people of Massachusetts, we suppose
it's all right.

To my friends in the South, and especially
all eeho suffer from any form Of Chronic
Disease:
II will be seen by the above card, that have
associated with me in practice, DIR. G. W.
Payne, of Mississippi, gentleman Of high
standing, and Of known reputation in the
Medical Profession.
Although solicited and urged TO visit, pro-
fessOnalV, other cities, as also various ceie-
brated springs, to meet and treat inValids du-
ring the present summer, | find IL impossible
TO Do SO without causing great disappointment
to many who are coming from great distances,
daily arriving, for the purpose OF consultation
and treatment, many OF whom, are sent Dy
physicians and other friends VINO know me.
therefore give this notice, thatl Will remain In
Memphis during the present summer, and per-
haps until November next. Then will return
and resume practice in New orleans. There
fore, those who suffer from any form OF cOrOnlc
disease, and desire consultation and treatment,
will do well to apply as early as possible, as 1t
usually requires months OF treatment 10 cure,
and remove from the system the cause where
the disease is of months, sometimes OF years,
standing.
/ am no stranger to Southern community !;
my professional life has been devoted TO treat
ment of chronic diseases in our Southern cities
and States. For many years past nave been
visited by patients from almost every section
of the South, and while l feel grateful 10 my
many friends who have been liberal in every
possible way, yet feel consciousness OF haV-
ing faithfully discharged my duty TO all, and
have thus reciprocated by restoring health, and
thus giving years of life and happiness to many
thousands who might otherwise, to-day, have
still been invalid sufferers, or have been, by
friends, laid in their graves.
/ have not time, nor inclination, now, to give
an extended notice. | write as much for the
purpose of giving notice of 1chere tCe are, as of
what we can do. Patients sometimes tell me
that their ''hOme family physician" discour-
aged their coming, without any knowledge OF
facts but sissAfl3' boe.Nsoe 81 -,i' CItlse-
Such do not know us, and had better Visit
themselves and learn some facts before they
try to prevent the sufferer, whom they fail to
cure, obtaining relief. Twenty years Of extern
sive practice in treating chronic diseases, such
as others have not been able to cure, will sure
ly give some practical knowledge. If they
could cure all such cases, there would be none
left to linger on and suffer, or seek relief at the
hands of others. Such are those whom / have
invited for years; such they are that come. (;
and my curing such has called forth volumes
of evidence from the Southern press and South
ern community.
