Reader, were you ever ia loye-iu such
a condition that woman imperious
frown crushed you 90 the ground or her
smile lifted you heavenward When you
could fall down and worship the ground
on which her foot left lis impression;
when you idolized every token Of love;
when you could not bear for her to smils
on another; when, IN fact, your who.9
soul, thought and body belonged to her,
to do with it as she liked? II so, you
eau appreciate the condition Of the hero
of our story.
John r, rising young lawyer in
certain city, was desperately in love
with a young lady whom he thought the
most perfect being the world ever saw.
ii wrote poetry ABOUT her gave her ico
cream soda water, went With hsJiQ balls I,
sociabfes picnics, went riding win her
in fact, never allowed an opportunity TO
pass 10 promote her happiness. Wen,
one evening a her house he proposed a
horseback ride for the next evening
The proposition was accepted, and, at the
appointed time, j ohm was on the ground
with two thoroughbreds. His lady love
appeared on the portico, her angelic form
aTrayed IN a magnificent riding costume.
On her head sat jauuty riding cap,
from beneath which escaped a wealth OF
lovely curls. As our hero assisted her
to mount, he felt prouder than ever
King William did Away they gallop-
ed, far from the busy hum OF the city,
far from peering eyes, out in the country,
through the deep woods they cantered
side by side-he the happiest man, she
the most delighted woman Everything
was going on swimmingly, when all Of q
sudden she gave a slight scream, aud ere
John could dismount, she was on the
ground. II was pale as death. Every
limb trembled as a leaf stirred by autumn
winds; he inquired aDxiously as to the
cause of her alarm. She pointed to the
saddle; 1t had turned he examined it
and found the giEth was not only broken,
but the buckle was gone. Here was a
predicament; if he ouly had string he
would be all right. So he told her, and
she timidly asked if he was certain he
was certain of it, she turned and walked
to the side of the road, remarking,
Now, John, look close aud see if you
can fix it," While he was doing so,
snowy white skirt was exposed, a tiny
shoe seen for moment, and then she
turned aud walked back. John, says
she in tremulous voice, her face suffu-
sed with bushes, "here is a string

thrill through his heart. With the horse
between him and her, he pressed it to his
bosom and kissed it fervently. Out
came his knife, aud in moment theh

and homeward they came But little was
said between them; he was too full for

His companions say he wears it around
his neck, aud they have dubbed him

Postmaster General Creswell is an
earnest advocate of postal telegraph,
and has already declared his purpose to
press the matter upon the consideration
of Congress at its coming session. While
there are no partisan issues involved in
the decision Of the question, the whole
matter is one Of so much interest to
every body that its discussion must con.
stitute an important feature of the win
ier's business at the capital.
The Postmaster Generals plan is sim
ply that the Government shall buy all
the lines Of telegraph in the country,
except such as are owned by railroads and
used only in railroad affairs, and that the
business of transmitting messages by
wire shall hereafter be conducted exclu
sively by the Postofice Department, as
that of carrying letters now is, with cor
respondiugly low rates.
The English Government has already
tried a similar experiment, with very
satisfactory results. The low rates es
tablished have greatly increased the bu
siness. so that the tclegraphs pay a hand
the convenience of such a system to the
people can hardly be overestimatcd
This satisfactory result In England Of
course, proves nothing, positively, as to
how the system would work here, but it
adds largely to the probabilities of sue
cess, aud Is strong encouragement to
the trial, at any rate.
Again We all know that in all Offices.
outside the great commercial cities, the
operators remain idle three fourths Of
the time for want Of business. Yet the
occasional pressure of messages, coming
generally at certain hours Of each day.
renders 1t necessary that a full force Of
these operators shall be kept on salary.
The same men could send, in day. ten
times as many dispatches as they now do
aud an increase of business would in
most cases entail no increase of expense
That the business would be increased
enormously by the adoption Of very low
rates there eau be 90 question. Were
the charge say twenty-five cents for
message Of ten words, to any part Of
the country, thousands of letters which
are written daily would be compressed
into telegrams, aud the best informed
neu 10 teIegraphic circles express a con
ident opinion that such a rate would
prove much more remunerative than those
now in use can ever be. Ia short, both
reason and experience teach Us that
postal telegraphs, we'll managed, with
ow charges, would pay ahundautly from
he very FIRST, and the Immense value of
.uch system to the people should com
mend il to the Government, even though
is adoption should add large positive
expense to the annual budgets

Gov. Palmer DenOunces the
Military UsnrpatiOns of
Sheridan.

The publication here Of the letter Of
Gov. Palmer to Attorney General Bush
nell. requesting him to present the facts
in the Killing Of Gen. Thomas a. Gros-
venor to the Grand Jury Of Cook county,
has created sensation. Very good
authority denies the right of the Gov
ernor to initiate such proceedings unless
the States attorney should first refuse
to present the matter to the Grand ury.
But on the other haud Gov. Palmer is
recognized as lawyer Of ability aud not
likely to make mistake. 1t is charged
by the friends of Gen. Sheridan that
Palmer is uufriendIy to him aud has
taken this opportunity to do him an in
jury Atany rate Sheridan seems the
least disturbed about the matter of any
body.

The open Polar Sea, reported by the
Atlantic cable as having been discover
ed by one of the German exploring ex-
petitions, has directed attention to the
di1erenC companies of scientific men
now employed in the arduons work ol
reaching the highest parallel of north
latitude. 1t appears that at the present
time there are seven expeditions engaged
in Arctic research-two from Germany.

Payer respectively; one from Sweden.
consisting of two Government vessels Of
war; one from England. under command
Of Leigh Smith, one from France, fitted
out by Octave Pavy. aud the United

The discovery Of the open sea by the
German expedition brings to recollection
the second Arctic exploration of DR. L
K Kane. and his perlous overland jour
ney to point from which he saw, in the
distance, the unfrozen
waters Of the circum polar ocean. This
discovery Of Dr. Kane. although credi
ted by many persons. was not accepted
as an incontrovertible fact. The aecu
racy Of his observations has, however
been established by the recent report
from the German expedition

From the washington Patriot.

We announced in the Patriot on Tues
day that Fredrick Dent G rant, son of his
Majesty Ulysses S. Grant. and second
lieutenat in the Uuited States army, was
about to visit Europe, special privileges,
not usually accorded to officers who have
just graduated, having been granted him
for that purpose. But perhaps this is a
reward for the high standard in scholar
ship which the Presidents son attained
at the Military Academy. Yesterday
special order was promulgated from the
War Department assigning Second Lieu
tenant Grant, of the 4th Uuited States
cavelry, to the orders of Gen w. t.
Sherman, to whose guardianship he has
been temporarily assigned for his six
months tour.
This is doubtless a set-off to the visit
Of Prince Alexis to this country.

The TrIbuIatiOBs Of Pigeon
Hunters ia East Tennessee.
From the Cleveland Banner.

]
4 portion of our citizens still havs
pigeon hunting on the brain. For the
last two weeks nearly every night Cleve-
land has had a fair representation at the
roost, which is located sixteen miles west
Of this place, in James county. A party
of FIVE gentlemen, ourself among the
number, left Thursday evening last, 10 a
two horse. wagon, for the scene of action.
They scaled the Whlteoak at Mahan's
/ Gap. They had bully time Of tit
raiued, the driver got drunk and the hor-
ses gave out, but after considerable walk
ing and any amount of cursing The party
reached its destination, wet, hungry and
worn out After partaking Of "hasty
repast. the party loaded up their freloc5s
and sailed forth 10 quest Of the much
coveted game. In short time firing
commenced all along the line, aud over
head could be seen millions Of pigeons
winging their way out OF danger. Tho
party "eemented apart" and went into
the fight .sipe,i@ L~-,a@A
At midnight five OF the party met 10
compare notes Aaron Joseph had ira
/ ded off his ammunition for twenty-five
pigeons; jim Kelley bad twelve aud
Henry Joseph had thirteen which they
had got in the same way-Sam Hunt and
the Banner" man had marry" pigeon.
These five gentlemen, having hunted for
four hours without killing single pigeon,
retired from the field and fell back upon
their encampnent Henderson Hix, tho
sixth man got lost and remained out all
night. After daylight the next morning
he came sneaking in, with FIVE or six
pigeons, looking the very picture of
despair. Henderson says he shot tho
pigeons, but Aleck Demore and Joe
Hardwick, who were with him, tell quite
different tale. They say that he stola
them from Sam Longs pile, who is now
employed in that locality as a negro
school teacher How this Is we are nos
prepared to say. Henderson has tho
character Of being very truthful man,
and we leave the matter with him and
the boys for proper adjudication
Pigeon hunting Is demoralizng and
the biggest kind Of sBindle Men that
are engaged in it will not only steal
pigeons. but will steal almost anything
else they find lying about loose.
