"No," replied Miss Hammond, trying to be
very calm, and determined to know the worst
at once; 81 suppose you are married, as you
speak of keeping house."
"Not yet" and if Miss Eva had been watch
| ing his face she would have seen that he winc-
ed little under her questioning.
"Why did you not come last night? ex-
pected you."
@Expected me "said Mr.. Stafford, in unas-
sumed astonishment; chow did you know
was in the city?"
"Why your note, of course" explained Eva,
equally amazed.
"But I've never sent you any note," replied
Herbert, quietly.
Miss Hammonds glance met his for mo-
ment, then dropped, and her face grew scarlet
with modification as she answered hastily:
"I don't understand it at all; l have made
great mistake"
In that momentary meeting of the eye Her
bert had discovered something beside anger i;
something that spoke of disappointment and
regret, and on the impulse OF the moment he
spoke:
81 am glad you expected me. Will you ex-
pee, et, me IT. tonight? 81 MAY NJ y1os conner
That day at dinner DR.. Hammond turned to
his daughter, saying:
81 met your old friend, Hattie Carroll, in town
to- day, and she sent you note this week, and
you've not answered it. She seemed to feel
very badly, and desired me to say that she
would do anything to have the past forgotten.
Did you and her never make up that ridiculous
old quarrel?"
"Poor dear Hat! What fool l wasp and
Miss Hammond laughed till she had to run
away and hide in her own room, and then she
cried. DR.. Hammond declared that Eva was

dinner in hurry to 60 look after patient
Herbert Stafford came that evening, and Eva
bad to explain about the unlucky note. and
somehow in laughing over that they suddenly
became very friendly, and when DR.. Hammond
came home that night, and was called into the
parlor, he found the young minister there look
ing. very happy, and Eva looking very sweet
and serious. Herbert said that the people at
his new charge had a cosy little parsonage,
beautifully furnished, and were anxious that
he should occupy it, and would the Doctor al
low Eva to go and be its mistress? DR.. Ham
mond kissed his Jewell and said eyes," and
Herbert has resigned himself to the fate of be-
now. "All because of that unlucky (?) note" !"

ABOUT CRIMINAL LAwYERs.-We must destroy
the fespectability of clearing criminals. II
must be understood that no lawyer can be, or
ought to be respected, who knowingly gets a
criminal clear of the law. This will all hinge
on what we are to understand by fair trial.
If a fair trial means any kind of advantage,
technical or otherwise, which shrewd and
unscrupulous lawyer can take, then it is not
right to ask public sentiment to disapprobate
the lawyer who takes it. But if a fair trial
means that community has rights and that the
moment it is made clear that the criminal is
guilty he has no right to freedom or exculpa-
tion until he is adequately punished for his
crime then it is fair to ask public sentiment to
brand the lawyer who, by any means contrary
to natural justice, gets man clear of the law.
This is just what we believe ought to be done
in the near future.
For many years cunning has carried the day,
and it has finally come to be generally under
stood that if a criminal can only keep clear of
the mob, and getinto jail, and keep off the trial
until the excitement was over, he was nearly
sure to get off somehow. Some times by break
ing Jail and sometimes by advantage taken in
court. The people bear it because they are de-
termined to be law-abiding community.
But the people think it is not right nor are
they willing to bear it any longer. We see no
way of escape for them, SO long as cunning and
unprincipled men can get from $500 to $4,000
out of a criminal for clearing him, and then walk
of with the money and the very honorable ~
title, that "he is the best criminal lawyer in the
country. (W,) Republican.

CURIOUS STATISTICS OF MARRIAGE.-The peo-
pie of statistical rather than a sentimental
turn, the mathematics of marriage in different
countries may prove an attractive theme of
meditation. 1t is found that young men from
fifteen to twenty years of age marry young W."
men averaging two or three years older than
themselves, but If they delay marriage until
they are from twenty to twenty-five years old
their spouses average a year younger than
themselves and thenceforward this difference
steadily increases, till in extreme old age on the
bridegroom's part tits apt to be enormous. The
inclination of octogenarians to wed misses in
their teens is an everyday occurrence, but it is
amusing to find in the love-matches of boys
that the statistics bear out the satires of Thack
cray and Balzac. Again, the husbands of young
women, aged twenty and under average little
above twenty-five years, and the inequality of
age diminishes thenceforward, till for women
who have reached thirty the respective ages
are equal after thirty-five years, women, like
men, marry those younger than themselves,
the disproportion increasing with age, till at
ffty-fve it averages nine years.
The greatest number of marriages for men
take place between the ages of twenty and
twenty-five in England, between twenty five
and thirty in France, and between twenty five
and thirty-fve in Italy and Belgium. Finally,
in Hungary the number of individuals who
marry is y in thousand each year, in Eng
land, it is "a in Denmark, SO; in France, 81,
the city of Paris showing So; in the Neither
lands, So; in Belgium, 43; in Norway, &c.
Widowers indulge in second marriages three or
four times as often as widows. For example,
in England Gland of Mrs. BardelD there so
marriages are of widowers against 81 widows !;
in Belgium there are 4S to 16; in France 40 to
~. Old Mr.. Weller's paternal advice, to "be
ware of the widows" ought surely to be sup
plemented by maxim to beware of widowers.

The WOrLd's Opinion.
By s. j.


We walk in anxious, thoughtful mood;
Our hearts we fully set them
To gain great share Of this worlds goods,
No matter how we get them.
But ali what fairy boats go down
In dark 0blivion's stream,
While racing for that leafiess crown,
The outer worlds esteem!
We strive with eager feet and hands,
Sad hearts, and faces gay;
From youth to age we head Life's page
With"What will people say"
Most of US live double life;
The one is outside show:
The other springs from hopes Of things
None but ourselves must know.
Our time is so entirely claim'd
By worldly thoughts alone
1t almost makes one feeliashamed
A softer heart to own.
Alas they miss earths purest bliss,
Far, far from the light they stray,
Who always make their watch-word this;
"But what will people say2'
Kind acts, to bless those in distress
Are oft in secret done,
But how much oftener when we know
Mankind is looking onl
Better kind word entered in
The great Recorders book,
Than careless thousands spent to win
The worlds approving look;
And he who does noble deed,
And hides it from the day,
Be sure will gain a w0rthier need
Than "What will people say"
There is higher One to please, - -
Who sends no cloud in vain;
He will despise no sacrifice
Who bore all human pain
And so if we could only act
To our own conscience true,
Keeping Gods law et love intact
In all we say and do
We should not need so mean a chart
To guide us on our way,
To lay its shackles on the heart,
As "What will people say ?"

BEWARE!

1fyou'd hear of DEATHS dark pageant,
Learn of an insurance agent.
He will spread your lot before you,
Show the pail that's hanging o'er you,
Till, with pain and terror sore, you
Bride him never more to bore you.
II your temper lacks endurance,
Tamper not with life insurance.
Give an agent but chance-you
Needn't dream he'll respite grant you.
Curse him, he is adamant. You
May kill him, but his ghost will haunt you.
Once friend of mine, dear one,
Rashly undertook to hear one.
For six months that agent sought him,
Twice an hour each day he caught him,
Puffs of "Krokodylum" brought him,
All the Carlisle tables taught him.
Till at last the frenzied victim,
Worn out, maddened, turned and kicked him
Then that agent laughed out brazen,
Swore the joke was just amazing,
Led my friend his SPIDERS maze in,
Took his life and purse in seizn.
Now my friend, insane but harmless,
Wanders round each dull and charmless
Walk and path and pebbled aisle in
The enclosure of x Asylum,
Seeking strangers, to beguile 'em
To insure in "Krokodylum ~

SINGULAR SAvAGEs-THE MEEwoC INDIANS An
article in the Overland Monthly draws vivid
picture of the mental condition of the Meewoc
Indians, who form the largest nation of aborigi-
mes remaining in California
They eat all creatures that swim in the waters.
all that fly through the air, and all that creep,
crawl, or walk upon the earth, with perhaps
dozen exceptions. They have the most degraded
and superstitous beliefs in wood spirits, who pro-
duce those disastrous confagrations to which CAL
ifornia is subject; in water spirits who nhabit
the rivers, consume the fish, and work all manner
of evil and malignity upon men; and in fetchis-
tic spirits, who assume the forms of owls and
other birds, to render their existence torment
and terror, from the baby basket to the grave.
In occasional specimens of noble physical stature
they were not lacking especially in the Yosemite
and other elevated valleys; but the utter weak
ness, puerlity and imbecility of their conceptions
and the unspeakable obsenity of some of their le-
gends, almost surpasS human belief. But the
saddest and gloomest thing connected with the
Meewocs is the fact, that many of them-proba-
bly, majority Of all who entertain any well-de-
fined notions whatever on the subject-believe in
the annihiation OF the soul after death, especial.
ly in the case of the wicked. When an Indians
friend departs the earth, he mourns him with that
great and bitter sorrow of one who is without
hope. He will live no more forever. All that
he possessed is burned with him upon the funeral
pyre, in order that nothing may remain to remind
them afterward of one who is gone into black OBJ
livion. So awful to them is the thought of one
who has gone down to eternal nothingness, that
his name is never afterward even whispered; if
one of his friends is so unfortunate as to possess
the same name, he changes it for another; and
if, at any time, they are compelled to mention
the departed with bated breath and mournful
softness they murmur simply "Heh," "hm."-
Himself, his identity, is gone; his name is lost;
he is bloted out; itch represents merely the be-
ing that once was. Like all other tribes of
sunny California, they are gay and jovial through
their lives; but, while most of the others have
mitigation of the final terrors in the assured be-
lief of an immortality in the 'Happy Western
Land" the Meewocs 60 down, with grim and
stolid sullenness, to the death Of dog, that will
live no more 1t is necessary to say, however,
that not all entertain this belief but it seems to
prevail more especially south of the Merced, and
among the more grave and thoughtful of these.
Throughout the whole Sacramento and San Joa.
quin valleys one will occasionally meet an Indian
who believes in annihilation but nowhere so
many as among the Meewocs.

G1- VIM. Penn was sly old fox. When he
bought of the Indians in 1856 tract of land
commencing on the line of his former purchas-
es, and extending Northwesterly as far as a
man could rae fiJr.-.-~:. in two IA e., louht.
less he had tough animal in his minds eye
for the task. When this bargain was re-dis-
cussed in 1877, and the modified plan carried
out by Thomas and John Penn, it was stipula-
ted that the purchase of 1856 be consummated
by commencing at Wrightstown, in Bucks
county, Penn, and terminating at spot man
could reach in one and a-half days walk. A
man by the name of Edward Marshall was one
of the walkers selectd. Mr.. J. II. Martin states
that this man started from Wrightstown at sun
rise, on Sept. 10, 1887, and at sunset had reach
cd the foot of the Blue Mountains, and at noon
next day had reached Tobihanna Greek. He
was better athlete than the indians expected
to find among the whites. lie put fifty miles
behind him the first day, and in eighteen hours
he walked eighty miles. The Indians, we are
told, were terribly exasperated by the result,
az they had no idea Of selling their rich hunt
ing grounds beyond the mountains. Their dis
satisfaction increased until it ended in open
war in 1775, and the first victims of the toma-
hawk were the family of Marshall. When land
was sold in the loose fashion described, stout
athlete was man of much Importance. The
Penns, although Quakers, were remarkably
sharp traders. The way they pulled the wool
over the eyes of the noble red men would make
glad the hearts of the model Indian agents of

WoMAN's DREss.-Elizabeth Stuart Phelps
daughter of Professor Phelps, of Andover, and
granddaughter of Professor Stuart-who is one
of the most forcible and popular writers of the
present day, thus expresses her disgust at the
prevailing fashion of woman's dress: "For
myself, confess that never feel thoroughly
ashamed of being woman, except in glancing
over large promiscuous assembly and con-
trasting the simplicity, solidity, and elegance,
and good sense a mans apparel with the affect
alton, the fimsiness, the tswdriness, the ugli
ness, and the imbecilty of woman's. For
her mental and moral DEFICIENCIES my heart is
filed with great compassion and prompt ex-
cuse. Over her physical inferiority l mourn
not as one without hope. When l consider the
pass to which she has brought the one sole
tress, my heart misgives me down to the roots
of every hope I cherish for her."

UNDERTAKING IN CAMDEN.-They have two very
enthusiastic undertakers in Camden. They are
always on the lookout for business and always
trying to get ahead of each other The wife of
a prominent citizen was known to be quite i'll
some time ago, and both undertakers made up
their minds to provide the funeral if she should
die. One Thursday night the husband dropped
the paregoric bottle on the floor and scared the
invalid so that she gave a little SCI cam. The
next instant the family heard somebody stagger-
ing upstairs, knocking the paper off the wall
with some kind of an implement. 1t was Jones,
the undertaken, bringing up one of his patent
hermetcally sealed coffins. He had been wait
concluded the end had come, and rushed in all
ready. He dashed up the stairs as the husband
opened the door, set the coffin up on the carpet
and exclaimed eagerly: "Gimme the first chance !
Bury her for forty dollars, with slver-plated
trimmings p' Before the indignant man had time
to reply noise was heard in the attic. Present.
ly Brown, the other undertaken appeared on the
third-story landing and heaving one of his Sin
corrodible burial caskets" down the stairs, he
slid down the banister suddenly and screamed,
'Don't do it; I'll plant her for thirty-eight dol
lars; five off for cash, put monogram on the
casket and throw in a tombstone" Brown had
been watching Jones, it seems, fron the roof of
tae house next door, and would lave beaton him.
but the trap-door stuck. They were led away
by policeman, but before they had reached the
corner Of the street Jones had secured contract
for bnrying that policemans mo her-in-law,
when she died. The policeman was not particu-
lar ab at details. "Only let it be deep" he said,
"with something solid on top to hold her down"

EGoTIsrIC TALKERs.-Almost every circle is
blessed with the egotist, who exercises a kind
of dictatorship over it. Are you in mistake as
to matter of fact? He cannot suffer you to
proceed until you are corrected. Have you a
word On the end of your tongue? He at once
comes to your relief. Do you talk ungrammat
ically? lie quotes rules and gives examples
like pedagogue. Does he discover that there
is link wanting in the chain of your argu
ment? He bids you stay till he has supplied
it. Do You drop word to which he has devo-
ted much research? He asks you whether you
know its primitive Specification, and straight
way infcts upon the circle a long pathological
disquisition. When you relate an incident
