Is easy to gee we are near the Sieur
dc Lille-J Jourdeins Whatever may
be the orders Of the king, he will
take his own time and his own way
K OF doing things. A worthy son of a
worthy father! Instead Of obeying
urgent comgands,i he daiiies the
night away with pretty Lombard
girls. How good Gesl iss &c ss traitors s,iii; !.
jean felt that De La Baume, who
had denounced his (Jean's) father, in
order that he might succeed to the
old mobiles lieutenancy-general of
Narbonne, would not fail to add
Jeans hesitation and delay to the list
of accusations he had, invented. A
selfish fear closed his heart againt
Diana, who clung, sobbing, to him.
He shook himself free from her, but
she sank on her knees before him.
With last effort of his will he re-
pulsed her rudely with his foot, and
turning away, ordered his soldiers to
hasten. The girl prayed that they
would kill her, rather than drive her
forth; but prayers were useless now,
and the poor creature lay half faint
ing on the flags. The soldiers finish
ed their work, and dragged her and
Lubiana into the street.
"Adieu, my daughter, adioup' cried
the old man, as they were being
dragged in different directions;
"would to God thou hadst died be-
fore meW
At these words, the girl raised her
self, and looking round at Jean with
o flashing eye, she said "Adieu, my
father! I no longer wish to die. I
will live now, that may meet him
again"
And she pointed to Jean, who only
heard in these words the impotent
threatenings of desperate creature.
Father and daughter were sepa-
rated forever, and the street be-
fore the old merchants house was, in
ten minutes, as dark and silent as
though no such drama of agony and
passion had been enacted there.
Fifteen months from that night,
Jean de Lille-J Jourdain was seated on
an ottoman at the feet of the beauti-
full Rosselinde de Ia Baume. Jean
was relating to his betrothed his first
adventures, and the stirring scenes
through which he had passed; and
the mother of Jean, the proud Isa-
bella de Lewis, allowing her en-
broidery to lie unheeded in her lap,
smilingly watched the young pair. It
was indeed q charming group. The
young girl was fair as a lily, and of q
fairy like stature and form. Her soft
white dress, and the azure ribbons
which ornamented it, were thrown
into q strong relief by the deep
couch of carved ebony and dark
velvet on which she reclined. And
Jean, almost kneeling before her, his
locks and eyes as dark as hers were
golden and blue, his figure as manly
and full of strength as hers we're
fragile, was exactly the contrast need
ed to give full effect to her delicate
beauty. The girl scarcely needed
what her lover said; it was his voice,
and not the subject of his words, for
which her heart thirsted. And the
lady of Lille-Jourdain might we'll
smile on her work, for this was the
eve of jeans wedding-day, and his
mother knew that by her tact and
management she had, in bringing
about this marriage, ended forever
the old and bitter feuds of centuries
which had divided the lords of Lille
Jourdain and De Ia Baume.

We call the attention of al civil officers
of the State under the old regime to an Act
passed on Friday in the blouse Of Repre-
sentatives' - Of this State, published IN the
proceedings, for the qualification Of certain
officers elected under the provisions Of tie
Constitution of North Carolina. It will be
seen that q fine of not less than one thou
sand dollars. or two years imprisonment, or
both, at the discretion OF the Court, is
made the penalty for such contumaciouG
persons as are not disposed to obey their
illegal legislation. The Importance Of the
Act is sufficient to require such persons
as are interested therein to sean it closely.

Upon the adoption of the Howard amend
ment by the North Carolina Legislature
Governor Holden telegraphed the fact to
General Candy; -whereupon that officer
telegraphed back that instructions should
on that day July Sd be sent $50 the mill
tary commanders in North Carolina to ab-
stain from the exercise Of any authority
under the reconstruction laws, except to
close up unfinished business" and, further
more, mot to interfere in any civil matters
unless there should be unlawful or forci-
BILE opposition TO Inauguration of the new
State government"
We suspect that these fellows of tho
Candy school are far more fearful that there
will be no resistance than they are that
there will be. They are exceedingly anX
ious to have something to do III the line of
hectoring and ordering people about from
''these headquarters. If the expression
ct this qualification of the order for non-in.
terfereace has no other value, it will be a
sort of carrying cut the Radical policy of
slurrir the whites ofthe South, and throw
ing suspicion upon them to the last, as at
least an apology for the maintenance of the
military deSpotism over them.
The people e. North Carolina are no
doubt glad to get rid OF Candy. If they
were only relieved of the filthy and rascally
Bureau at the same time, they could soon
right themselves, They have tho numeri-
cal, mental, and moral force to do this if
they could only be relieved FROM the ty-
ranny of the Radical interference from
Washington. But the Radicals will not
withdraw from meddling and control
ling the ballot by corruption until after the
Presidential election. Richmond Dispatch.
