A NOVEL SPOILED.

The heroine was not beautiful, to be-
gin with, not queenly, nor in any wise
remarkable She was just a plump,
winsome little maiden, and she stood at
the garden gate, that moonlit Sunday
evening, with an air the very reverse of
stateIiness and composure, pulling
leaves from the rose-bush near by with
nervous, futtering fingers that did not
even know when the thorns pricked
them Outside the gate was tall fig
ure, a face bronzed and bearded, and a
low voice uttering words half pleading,
half resentfuI There was a moments
pause, then the voice questioned, with
a dash of bitterness =
"Shall go, Maggie?"
Just as you please, Mr.. Clifford ;"
whereupon the questiOner turned sud
denly about and strobe rapidly down
the country road, crushing the glitter
ing sand under his feet, while Maggie
sped into the house, mp to her room,
and bOlted her door as if afraid of be-
ing pursued. She peePed through a
window, from behind curtain, until
the lonely pedestrian on the quiet road
had vanished from sight; then she as
sured herself that q if Tom chose to act
so-sO-she didn't care p and proved
her utter Indifference by burying her
face in her PILLOW with burst of sobs,
and entire forgetfulness of the pansies
in her pretty hat.
They had quarreled about nothing
at least she couldn't remember what it
began with,-but, of course, it was all
over between them now, and he would
go away as he had said She wondered,
as she lay with her flushed, fearful face
turned toward the stars, how it would
seem to die that night, and go away
from it all. Wouldn't somebody be
sorry then? She almost wished she
could do it,-not quite, because one
doesn't like to stop in the middle of a
story, even if it IS ones own and, be-
sides, what good would his remorse do
her if she could never know anything
about it?
Tom, on his homeward walk, dis
-coursed furiously to himself upon the
fckleness and preversity of all woman
kind "Not one of the whole race
worth breaking a fellows heart for, he
remarked savaSely, though with queer
little quiver about his lips the while
One thing was certain, he would not
stay moping there The world was
wide, and there was nothing now to
hold him back. He would resign his
place in the village store, and join the
party for Arizona. Yes, he would take
the first morning train for the city and
tell Golfer he would go there was for
tUnately time enough for that yet, and
if it left brief space for separation, so
much the better. He should not wait
or people to change their opinion, he
thought, fancying that by people he

IT is related of a. certain minister of
Maine, who was noted for his long ser
mons, with many divisions, that one
day when he was advancing among the
teens, he reached at length kind of
resting-place in his discourse, when
pausing to take breath he asked the
question, aud what shall I say now A
voice from the congregation earnestly re-
sponded, say amen.
CURBAN, being at party at the seat
of an Irish nobleman, one of the COM
pany, who was a physician, strolled out
before dinner into the church-yard.
Dinner being served up, and the doctor
not returned, some of the company were
expressing their surprise where he could
be gone to. Oh, says Curran, he has
just stepped out to pay a visit to some
of his old patients.

such sentiments as these.

The Commissioner of Indian Affairs has

between General O. o. Howard and the IN
dian Chief Cochise, Governor Pesquira re-
cites list Of murders and lesser crimes com
mitted by Cochise between November last and
March Of the present year, and claims that
the treaty allows Cochiseto have free range in
Mexico. Commissioner Smith says this is an
entire mistake The treaty in no way refers
to Sonora, or other Mexican territory. Il is
true that atrocities have been committed in
Sonora by the Apaches as Pesquira says, but
if by members Of Cochise's band, it was with
ont his sanction, as ali reports show that he
personally confoymed in good faith to the
terms of his treaty though he may have been
unable TO control the outlaws Of his band.

Death Of the Actor Macready.

The telegraph, on the 29th ult., an
nOunces the death, near London, of
William Charles Macready, the cele-
brated actor, whose long life has been
filed with more stirring incidents than
perhaps ever before fell to the lot of a
man in his profession. The elder read
ers will remember the Macready-For-
rest riot in New York in 1849, but the
circumstances of that tragedy Will now
prove of interest. Macready visited the
United States IN 1S26-after having al
ready achieved a great reputation in
England-and was well received on this
side of the water, as he was during
subsequent visit in 1843. But IN l849,
when he again revisited these shores, he
aroused the jealousy Of the late Edwin
Forrest, which finally led to a desper-
ate riot at the Astor Opera house in
New York. Macready was attacked by
the mob and with difficulty escaped
with his life. The military were called
in to suppress the disturbances and fred
into the crowd, killing twenty-five men,
besides severely iujuring some thirty
others. Macready shortly afterward
returned to England, and very naturally
has never since revisited the country
whose people gave him such inhospitable
reception.
Charles James Macready was born IN
London, March 3, 1898, and died at the
age of eighty. His father was manager
of one of the English provincial thea
ters, and in his seventeenth year the
boy made his first appearance upon the
stage. showing from his first appearance
signs of unusual talent. During the
first three years afterward he played
only in the provinces and IN Ireland
and Scotland, but with great success,
and in 1915 he made his first appearance
at Covent Garden, in London, as Cores
tes," in "The Distressed Mother"
His success was assured from the start,
but he had nevertheless a hard battle to
fight in dividing with such actors as
Kean, Kemble and Young the favor of
the town. But he soon rose TO the
proper rank to which his great talents
entitled him, and was deservedly es-
teemed as one Of the first actors Of the
century.
Upon his return from his last Ilemor-
able visit to the United States he com
menced an engagement at the Haymar-
ket Theater, in London, which ne was
compelled to relinquish on account Of
Ill health, and IN 1851 be finally retired
from the stage. He removed to the
town Of Sherbone, in DOrsetshire, butt
spent the last years Of his life in Chelt-
enhan, occupying himself chiefly with
the schemes of the education of the
poorer classes.
So, within few months of each
other, both Of the actors in that terrible
tragedy in real life have gone down to
the grave together. Macready was the
last survivor of his English cotempora-
ries, the deaths of Kemble, Edmund
Kean and Young preceding his many
years.

The Board of Indian Commissioners. at

and near which the body of Senator YorI's
brother was found. The Bender family left
the country about two weeks ago, but the ex-
citement is so great, and the determination to
bring the guilty parties TO justice so strong,
that 10 effort viii be spared to effect their az
rest.
The Chicago and Northwestern and Mil
waukee and st. Paul railway have decided to
pool their earnings from now until April 1,
1880, in the proportion of 60 per cent to 40
per cent. The arrangement excludes that
portion OF the Northwestern road running to
Marquette, known as the Peniusular road.
The agreement only lacks the approval of
Tenhaye Frzen, the representative of the
German and Dutch interest, now on his way
from Amsterdam.
A commission will shortly be sent to the
Apaches Sioux and others on reservations in
Southwestern Dakotah for modification of the
treaty in 1868, so as to withdraw from the In
dians the privilege of hunting outside their
reservation. The commission viii consist of
three or four persons, and the Board of In
dian Commissioners Will probably name the
chairman.

MY BEST BELOVED AND I.

Down by a little babbling brook,
Ny best belOv'd and ],
Were wandering on the autumn eve,
When sunset tingsd the sky.
We spoke of love and constanCy,
And fast the hours flew by:
But time was naUght to her or me,
kIy best belOY'd and I.
Another year-we met again,
And near the little brook,
But she was on a couch of pain,
And altered was her look.
Still, youth is bright with ardent hope,
Aud radiant is-its sky,
And fondly yet we spoke of love,
My best belOv'd and 1.
Beside the little ripping stream,
Where first our vows were said,
I've laid my darling down to sleep,
With roses at her head.
And yet, we are not parted quite,
F'Of with her latest sigh
She sPc.e of lands where we shall meet,
Ny best belOy'd and I.
