be were praying and I think they were
not so far wrong as they themselves
imagined.
Behind the pink-calico drapery two
trembling hands were trying TO steady .
scrap of paper, to make little useless
gold pencil amend two lives, marred by
means as light; two blue eyes raining
down dews of praise and thanksgiving.
A whisper issued at last from the
pink temple of mystery. {
Your letter" And it slid ont like a
first snowdrop, harbinger of splilg and
summer profusion. ..
Nv hat l value most in the world shall
pay for IT, Nothing else should have
taken it from me-" said Jack, whose
presence of mind had come hack to him,
and he laid an emerald ring on the palm
tremblingly outstelched.
1t was one he had given her long ago,
which she had returned without word
directly after their first quarrel.
81 shall come back for my change"
added he, walking away.
He could not read it there among the
spectators, who began to observe some
peculiarities in the demeanor of Major
Mostyn, and an unbusiness-like fiutter
on the part of the postmistress. He
went out of the room, into the grounds
away from the band the people, and into
a shady avenue of lines, where he open
ed the envelope with hope made painful
by the recollection of past despair.
.'lf you remember cruel mistake we
both made years ago. and care to have
it explained, wait in the lime avenue in
the garden till / come. Oh, Jack, |
scaS true till thought you were false

1t had been written with many tender
tears, drop or two fell slowly on it
now, and Major Mostyn stood still, and
covered his face
"Presently light step came up be-
hind him, timid hand touched his arm,
and faltering voice, with tear and a
smile in it, said, .iE1 -a

They were not Major Mostyh, the
woman-hater, hard, cynical, suspicious
and Cecilia, Countess of Lington, pret-
ty. polished, beartless, who stood there,
with pride, and doubt, and convention
ality between them but Jack and Cissy,
who fell into each others arms, who
clung and kissed, and drew apart to
gaze in each others faces, and clasped
The closer, and murmured broken words
of fondness, till it seemed as if it had
been almost worth while to be parted,
to feel this G-ltJ.i .u.
They went in arm-in-arm, to the great
amazement of their acquaintance; and
they were married two months after
ward. And though Jack Mostyn still
talks with interest of his profession,
there is no subject on which he dwells
with such deep emotion, and tenderness
and thankfulness, as ON this story of
what he lost and won al d fair. Tls'ef ~

EEOnr friend Potts read somewher

H Our friend Potts read somewhere
that electric sparks could be evolved
from a cat by taking it into a dark
room, and stroking its back. He made
The experiment, and in few moments
was surprised to hear loud yell and to
feel something clawing across his face.
Then he missed the cat. Mr.. Potts is
now uncertain whether he was struck by
lightning evolved from the cats back,
or whether the cat became unduly excl
ted as he stroked her, and stroked back
again; but he is certain that when he
undertakes to procure electricity again
from a cat, he will first soothe her with
a shotgun.

From this statement it is found that far

lowing summer at 81 bushel; and the
wheat at 81 33 in December is equal to
81 81 for the same sold the June fol-
lowing. The estimate is made on the
basis Of interest at I per cent; and
takes no account of loss from the dep

SPAIN.

MADRID, April 26.-There is a vast
increase in the number of Carlist bands
| throughout the kingdom. Fifteen thou
sand persons are now in insurrection. A
royal proclamation has been issued, de-
claring many places in a state of siege.
The government refuses to furnish the
press any information relative to the
Carlists movements. There is a great
demand from the provinces where the
Carlists are most active, for troops to as
sist in driving out the disturbers.
Marshal SorTano, with six thousand
men, has gone to Navarro, where his
presence at the head of this force has
checked the operations of the Carlists in
that department. Serrano has been
appointed Generalisemo of the forces
operating against the insurgents. Mar
shall COncha has also been given a high
command. 1t is believed the future of
Spain now depends on the course of the
Radicals. 1t is said that if they CO.
operate with the partiZans of Don Car
los, the revolution will be successful.
Senior ROsas, the nominee of the Min
isterialists, has been elected President of
the COrtes by a large majority. The
other officers chosen by the COrtes are
also supporters of the government.
ZorillO, Maret and other leading Radi-
eals were yesterday presented to the
King. This circumstance is regarded as
of much Importance, in view of the re-
ports that the Republicans We're in
league with the Carlists in insurrection.
A company of twenty-five geaddTB1es
attacked and dispersed band of Carl
lists, two hundred in number, in the
province of Valladolid.
1t is officially stated that the number
of insurgents actually in the field is
eight thousand.

ing in honor of the occasion.
1t is reported that sixty tourists were
killed and wounded by the shower OF
lava near Mount VesuYius.
In the House of Lords tonight Earl
GaTnarvOn asked whether the govern
ment intended to defray any portion OF
the expenses in connection with the
International Prison Congress, to be
held in London next July, at the in
stance of the American Prison Reform
Association.
Marquis Larsdowne, Junior Lord of the
Treasury, replied that an application
for that purpose had been made
to the government, but had been
refused, as it would furnish a bad preee-
dent to make such a use of the public
money. rr-
In the House of Commons, Mr.. Ire
vellyan, member from Harwick, moved
that hOusehOlders residing outside of
Parliamentary boroughs be given the

ITALY.

ROME, April 26.-At a sitting of the
Chamber of Deputies this evening,
Prime Minister Lausa read a dispatch
dated Naples, this evening, saying ''The
eruption of Vesuvius is increasing and
becoming serious. Two hundred per-
sons have been burned by the lava. F"
The flames burst from the earth under
the feet Of the Inhabitants. Terra-dei-
Greci is in danger of destruction. The
people are flying from the town. Tenn
pOrary provision is made for them by
the authorities.
NAPLES, April pa fresh crater
opened in Vesuvius to-day. Ashes
and lava threaten the villages on the
mountain sides, and the inhabitants are
removing their houses and goods. Thou
sands are encamped in the wilds. The
ministers have been summoned from
Rome and are coming to make provision
for the hOuseless people. The hay is
covered with boats filed with specta-
tors. The scene is grand and terrible
beyond description. The flame at times
spouts up to great height and masses
of rock are elected, with earthquakes
which are plainly felt in this city.

IN THE HOUSE.

motion, the Senate bill to amend the
act of the fifth of March 1872, for bridge
across the Missouri river at st. Joseph,
was taken from the Speakers table and
passed. ~.
The House then resumed the consid-
Grafton of the DR.. Houard resolution.
Mr.. Banks, Chairman of the Ctmmit-
tee on Foreign Affairs, supported the
resolution.
Mr.. Banks said DR.. Houard had one
misfortune, that of being an Ameri-
can.u If he had been an Irishman, or
German, or an African, or even a cor
poratiOn, the House would have risen to
protect him, but he was only an Ameri-
can, and what rights had an American
from the American Government? 1t
would seem from the arguments against
the resolution that he had none. If
Houard had been an Englishman, not
one hair of his head would have been
touched by the Spanish Government.
These facts could never have occurred
with reference to Englishmen, or
Frenchmen, or Germans. The respon-
sibility for enOrmities practieed in Cuba
on Cubans, on Chinese, and on the
Japanese, lay on the United States.
The United States were responsible for
the massacre of hundreds and thousands
by cruel and relentless volunteers in
Cuba within the last five years. The
Uriten States were responsible for the
execution of eight boys who were exc
euted on charge Of having violated the
grave of Castanon. esg
The House then proceeded to q vote.
Mr.. Banks withdrew the amendment
offered by him last evening.
Mr.. Amber moved to lay the fesolu-

ton on the able, but he subsequently
withdrew that motion.
THE emshdA1ent offered by Mfr. Bing-
ham last evening Vas agreed TO by a
vote Of one hundred and eighteen TO
nineteen.
Mr.. SclIofield called attention to the
inconsistency Of the original resolution,
which affirmed the American citizen
shipo DIR. Houard, and the portion Just
added in Mr.. Binghamis motion, which
east doubt on the matter.
The Speaker said there could be q sep
arate vote ON the preamble, in which
HOuard's citizenship is positively as.
serted.
! The resolution, apart from the ptea1i-
Bile, was then adopted-yeas 14S, nays
The preamble was then amended by
making il read whereas, it is alleged, -

amendment.

Mr.. Dawes made an effort to 90 into
Committee of the Whole on the tariff
bill.
Mr.. Diekey, as a question of privilege,
offered concurrent resolution for final
adjournment on the twenty-ninth of
May.
Mr. Cox remarked that it was pro-
lection dodge.
Mr.. Dawes appealed to the House not
to adopt the resolution, remarking that
the Committee on Ways and Means had
been having conferences with Senators
in regard to the condition Of public busi
ness, and he believed that if the House
were to meet at eleven O'clock every
day and sit till five o'clock, the public
business could not be carried through in
time to adjourn on the twenty-ninth of
May; but he thought it would be mwise
to fix the time now.
After an exciting discussion a vote
was taken and the resolution was re-
jected-yeas SO, nays 106.
Mr.. Butler Massachusetts, from the
Judiciary COMMITTEES, reported a bill to
remove the political disabilities from
some sixteen thousand persons; which
was ordered printed and reeommitted.
Mr.. Wheelergave notice that he would
on next Monday move to suspend the
rules to take up the Senate bill in rela-
ton to the Texas Pacific railroad.
The House went into Committee of
the Whole on the tariff general de-
bate to close next Friday.
Mr.. Finklenburg, member of the
Committee on Ways and Means, spoke
in support of the bill, and appealed to
both sides of the House, free traders
and protectiOnists alike, to accept it.
The conference report on legislative,
executive and judicial appropriations
bill was presented, but action was de-
ferred till next Monday, and the House
till tomorrow.
