The third day one of these windows opened,

advanced towards her husband, her eyes cast

eeived was GARNER the young man made an
effort to retire, but twas too late; he saw her
stretch out both her hands, utter piercing
cry, and fall backwards.
Garnier remained a few moments motionless
not daring to stir; but lie soon heard the win.

again yenturcd to look, the Hungarian and the
stranger had both Disappeared
The same evening Ills hostess informed him
that some one had been making inquiries about
him, his name, his country, his habits. and the
motive of his stayfat Vienna. Frederick had
no. difficulty in guessing from whence these
questions proceeded he had been recognised ;
he saw all the danger Of remaining in coun-

like to ensure the safety at any price lie con-
scquently resolved to be on his guard. and act
with the grentest circumspection.
Several days passed away, the windows of
tho hotel opposite remained herlnetically closed
and GARNER began to fear that the unknown
was gone.
One evening he went to the opera with the
doctor; the two first acts had already been
played, and the curtain was about to rise for
the third, when GARNER felt q paper between

After this discourse the count sat down. as
if toIshow thereby that his resolution was i'm.
.moyably taken. On examining the objects
which were scattered about OH the marble slab
of the chimncy-picce, be unwittingly took up
the medallion ewhich Henry had found at.
Basle he turned it and recognised the portrait
of the countess.
lie sprang from his chair, uttered a cry of
rage. and gnashing his teeth, exclaimed, "Iwill
this instant go and fetch my arms; in an hour
| shall return, and if you still refuse to fight
mc, | will kill you"
Frederick remained buried in deep reflection.
1t WIS now that he bitterly rcpcnted the consc-
quenccs Of his impr,,dcnt curiosity. The scene
which had taken place at the Duchess Reim-
burgs, and the Hungarian's violent jealousy
had made him resolve to be prudent; but it
was now too late; the counts provocation had
wound up the affair in the most gloomy man
ner possible 1t was certainly very easy for
him to correct the error which had brought
about the quarrel, but he would then be obliged
to tell all that he knew, to reveal a sccrect on
which the honor, the life of. n woman depend
cd and this he considered he could not do
without the bascst cowardce. He consequent
ly resolved to abide by his destiny, whatever it
might be. To this effect he wrote Il letter to
Leblanc relating to him all that had passed,
and giving him his last instructions in case lie
should succumb. He folded it up, and was
about to write the direction, when the count
again appeared, holding in his hand two duel
ling-pistols.

Having pronounced these words, the young
woman looked anxiously around her. Sudden
ly her eyes remained fixed OH something at the

with gesture of terror. Frederick, who had
eagerly watched all her movements, perceived

Frederick placed himself on his passage; the

ministration during the last year of our
national war of independence. His grandson
may get some light from his ancestors poll
cal experience to help him in dealing with a
popular movement which has already been
signaized by London crowds cheering for ''the
United States" under the windows of an
American Minister, himself the grandson of
that John Adams on whom the Tory England
of 1882 not uniustly looked as the loudest-
voiced and most implacable of her trans
atlantic rebels.
The political lessons which America may
read to Lord Derby and his dukes however,
must unfortunately now be taken with a very
large grain of salt. 1t will not be easy even
for so bold and eloquent speaker as the
"blustering Quaker from Rochdale" to bring
the Union just now into the British Parlia-
ment on a question of equal representation.
If Mr.. Bright appeals to America as a political
model the Tory Earl and his dukes may fairly
turn his own guns upon him, by simply show
ing, what is the lamentable truth, that not
even rebellious Ireland, shaken with rumors
of a Fenian war, is so utterly unrepresented
in the British Parliament as are One-third Of
the inhabitants occupying more than half the
settled area of the United States, in the So
called Congress of the American Republic.

From Me Times.
Fivetwenties of the United States now
bring in London say 73-4 If converted into
five per cents, payable abroad, they would ap-
precate in value, as is proved by the price of
other bonds having similar conditions. Mas
saohusetts sterling bonds, for example. gene
rally rule two per cent. higher than Five
twenties. The later Russian loans, which are
made payable in London bring fifteen per
cent. more than those payable in St. Peters
burg. Holland three per cents, payable in
London, bring one hundred and forty. Peru
vian bonds during the war with Spain. stood
at ninety, or about twenty per cent. higher
than Hve-twenties, etc; hence the Justice of
the inference that United States bonds would
appreciate if issued in compliance with the
same business principles which govern the
loans of other trst-class nations, I. G., being
made payable at the great money centre of
the world.
The appreciation of Five-twenties in Europe
would necessarily carry with it an approx
mateincrease in the value of Five-twenties held
here, the amount held in Europe being large
enough to fix the market price of the whole
loan here as well as abroad. All other Ameri-
can securities would likewise he influenced in
the same direction, and greenbacks, which are
the same security as Flve-twenties, except that
they bear no interest and are redeemable at
the rate of four millions per month, would be
thus brought nearer to the gold standard
without excessive contraction.
The United States, with abundant resources
and recuperative energy and force, has only
