The application Of the phraseN 10 Thoroughfare
to the case had originated with Mr.. Bintrey. In
their first long conference following the dis
covery, that sagacious parsonage had o hundred
times repeated, with an obstructive shake OF the
head, "No Thoroughfare, sir, No Thoroughfare.
NV belief is that there Is no way out Of this at
| this time OF day, and my advice is, make your
| self comfortable where you are"
In the course Of the protracted consultation, 6
magnum Of the forty-ave-year.old port wine had
been produced for the wetting Of Mr.. Bintrey's
legal whistle. but the more clearly be saw his
way through the wine. the more emphatically
lie did not see his gay through the case: repeat
inc. as often as he set his glass down empty,
"1r: Wildlng, No T~horOughtsTe. Rest and be
thankful"
It is certain that the honest wine merchant's
anxiety to make o will originated in profound

no time in begging George vendale and MIR.

bis confidence.

Turning from his interest In tho past to b.
interest in the future, Vendale still found him7
self confronting Q doubtful prospect. Months
on months had passed since his first visit to Sob
square, and through all that time the one Ian
guage In which he told Marguerite that he loves
her was the language Of the eyes, assisted, al
convenient opportunities, by the language OF the
hand.
What was the obstacle in his way? The one i'm.
movable obstacle which had been in his way rom
the first. No matter how fairly the opportunij
ties looked, VsndaleIs efforts to speak with Mar
guerite alone, ended invariably in one and tho
same result. Under the most accidental circum1

Obsnreizer was always in the. way. W
With the last days Of the old year came On I'M

chance Of speaking privately to her as well. a
cordial note from Obenreizer invited him on

quality between her social position and his, woui

tary conquest being pleasant to youth and
beauty, Marguerite merrily looked out for him
next time.
"Whero is my Mr.. joey, please" she asked Of
Vendale.
and that became an institution.
Another institution arose in this wise. joey
was a little hard of hearing. He himself said it
was "Wapors, {" and perhaps it might have been;
but whatever the cause Of the effect, there the
effect WAS. upon him. On this first occasion he
had been seen to side along the wall, with his
left hand to his left ear, until he had sldled him
self into @ seat pretty near the singer, In winch
place and position he had remained, until ad-
dressing to his friends the amateurs the compli-
ment before mentioned. 1t was observed on the
following Wednesday that Joey's pction as q peck

mart of the institution. Also that when he re-

state, some bold spirit from the back should

should be goaded to reply, as having that in

The Negro Convention

We learn that the dictator for this Dis
trict has seenfit in the plentitude OF his
power, and goodness of his heart to per
nit the negroes, white and black, to as
scmble in Convention at the city Of Little
Rock, and the capitol Of the former State
Of Arkansas. This meeting we are told
is for the purpose, primarily, of giving
silly negroes and dishonest white men an
opportunity of going to see big town,
free of expense directly to themselves,
and to sit in arm chairs in the State
House, and look IS knowingly as owls
board at the Anthony House, go to see
old Governor Murphy, at will, and listen
to long "loyal' talks from the former
receiver Of federal alien enemies proper

one of the first families Of Virginia"
The secondary object of this meeting is
to make a government for the State, Re
publican in form. This will be rich
congregation. We sincerely pity the de.
cent people Of Little Rock whose sense
of smell is sensitive; but our pity is all
We can give them. We are too poor to
give more. Old Uncle Isaac will no
doubt give Bowen more cordial well

about the end of the war Bowen and
Ike have foated around until they are
now in the same puddle. We wait for
further Developments.
