90, yes, do, Mrs. Brentz," answered the

90, yes, do, Mrs. Brentz," answered the
young lady, mildly, but firmly.
I say you do not" returned the elder wo-
man, cmphatically "unbraid your hair, my
dear, and go to bed-and go to sleep! am
tired to death, for my part" yawned Mrs.
Park Brentz, getting into bed, and tucking
her head down among the pillows for deep
sleep.
Lide sighed heavily, as she laid her fair
head to rest. The whole evening had been a
long disappointment to her; and struggle as
she might, she could not succeed in wooing
slumber to her heavy eyelds. She lay, tos-
sing on her bed, prey to the uneasest
thoughts, until the sun "makc a great rose OF
dawn" and the light came streaming in be-
tween the window.curtains of her chamber.
Then she dropped off and slept soundly until
high noon.
But Lide Halstead was not the only person
known to us who passed the night-hours rest
lessly. Cecilia Fessenden, full of unhappy
thoughts, had lain awake the whole night
through.
She was thinking of Clarence Gadbury,
and of how jealously he had questioned her
that night "behind the scenes of Pixies Ope-
ra House. "Who had told him anything
about Irving Mcdonald and hersef?" she ex-
claimed, mentally, many time. What was
she to do? Was she to explain things to Mr..
Gadbury, or should she remain silent, and let
him believe what he pleased, and act as his
own heart prompted him to do?" Her pride
answered: "Remain SILENT" and she therefore
sent neither line nor token nor tender message
to Clarence Gadbury in his selfappointed
exile.

pace and went limping after her employer, as
though she had good news to impart.
The second act now commenced, and Llde
was required upon the stage. She went with
radiant countenance, and a heart rs light
us her eyes were bright.
Meanwhile, what had become of the loving
but ambitious Cecilia Fesscnden? Her heart
gave painful leap when the door closed her
in her carriage with sharp click that an
nounced herseparaton from her lover. With
an instructive dread of the parting meaning
forever, she leaned forward to recall him; but
the carriage was rolling over the smooth boul-
ders, and he stood beyond the sound of her
voice.
She blamed herself for her defeat. She
had been unnecessarily nervous tonight
that was it. She had acted like silly child,
when she ought to have been cool and consid-
crate. She had been frightened at her rival,
who would be no rival to her at all If she
would only be courageous and act we'll her
part. Amere schoolgirl would have behaved
more sensibly than she had done! She had
not realized what she was about. Perhaps
she had ruined herself in the eyes of Gadbury
forever! Thus she cogitated, as she drove
through the gas.lighted streets to her hotel
Arriving there, Ola met her and aided her in
lisrobing.
"Was it triumph, MADAME" she asked,
humbly, but confidently.
"Yes; triumph for the Halstead-not
for me. A torrent of applause overwhelmed
her when she appeared" answered Mrs Fes'
sender, despairingly.
Ola bit her lips furiously. She was proud
of the beautiful Cecilia, and indignant that
the fame acquired by her in two winters
seemed likely to fade away, like brilliant
dream, and leave not trace of its existence.
She did not understand the decades Of social
popularity.
Suddenly she became alarmed. Her mis-
tress was quvering from head to foot; an icy
numbness seemed to attack all her limbs. She
staggered forward a step or two, and fell
gasping for breath in Ola's outstretched arms.
"What is the matter my dear madam p
the maid murmured, consolingly, with her
bright eyes full of tears.
20! Ola, lam sick my head and my heart
both ache! They will not notice me! The
Halstead is 50 beautiful she acts so brilliant
ly; and Oh her hair is like a great glory =
longer, finer, brighter-far brighter-than
mine!' half sobbed the neglected Cecilia,
while the sympathetic girl bathed her brow
in aromatic vinegar, and folded her velvet
dressing-gown closer about her symetrlcal
limbs.
"Never confess that, madam "crled Ola,
proudly. "Be brave all will be we'll again
as we'll as it ever was Mr.. Gadbury loves
you!"
"No, no, Ola you do not understand it all
as do! My sun has set forever. feel it
l know it."
1t set for us all to-day but it will rise again
tomorrow !" answered Ola, sententiously, as
she put her mistress to bed and lowered the
gas lights blazing in the ccrulean globes.

and covered, and the coffin securely fastened.
This was then encased in large tin box, which
was soldered and made alright. Then the
latter was put in large wooden box, packed
! in charcoal and made securely tight.
After this had been completed the great case,
containing all that was left Of the twins, was
removed to cellar in Eng's house, where it
now remains. This very respectable process,
1 was informed, was Temporary interment,"
without even the last solemn rite of religion
being performed over the dead.
What the proposed final disposition of the
bodies is to be am not informed, but report
here says that they are to be embalmed and
disposed of, at an enormous price, to some
museum or medical college, or placed on ex-
hibiton at q sum equivalent to the value set
upon them by the Mount Airy managers, who,
of course, will realize handsome percentage
out of the transaction. All of this, however,
is to be subject to the decision of the members
of the families, who have been notified of the
death of their parents and are expected home
at an early day.
NO OPERATION on THE LIGAMENT.
No effort whatever was made to perform an
operation on the ligament with regard to as
certaining whether there was an artery pass
ing through it or not, as that would have ma
terially interfered with prospective green
backs, and present speculations would have
been nipped in the bud. Embalmed and pre-
served as they are, the bodies ofthe twins will
have market value from which money can
always be realized by those having possession
of them. The ligament cut in the interest of
science, the curiosity would be destroyed, and
consequently the separate dead bodies would
be of no value.
Here, in a civilized land, were two mysteri-
Gus deaths, and yet no inquest was held. |
asked again and again why the coroner had
not been notified and why post mortem ex.
animation had not been held, and the general
reply was that nobody considered it necessary,
as the doctor had satisfactorily explained to
the public and the families of the deceased
the cause of the deaths. Thus the matter
rests in mystery, in order to afford interested
parties an opportunity to either sell or other
wise dispose Of the bodies.
During their lifetime the twins belonged to
no religious denomination and rarely attended
divine service, nor was there any clergyman
sufficiently intimate with them to have any
knowledge of their religious views. One of
their wives is member of the Baptist Church,
the other of the Society of Friends, the chill
dren being nearly all Baptists. One of the
daughters of Chang, l was told, was highly
incensed at the boxing up process. 1t is re-
ported that it was intended to negotiate for
the disposal of the dead bodies at the North
upon the most favorable terms, and this ac-
counts for the veil of mystery which has been
thrown over the deaths of the twins, and fur
nishes the clew to the object in suppressng
the real cause of the death of Eng by attribu-
ting it to the shock or fright occasoned by
Chang's death. The sum asked for the priv
ilege Of a post mortem is stated to be $4,000
or $4,000.

NEVER KNOWN TO FAIL 1!
THOMPSON'S
Fever and Ague Powders |!
.tII FOR THE
YER, DUMB AGUE, OR ANY FORM
OF INTERMITTENT FEVER
The Greatest Discovery Of the AgeI

TTNHERE are no diseases so debiitatng in
their effects upon the constitution as the
above, and none more difficult to cure by the
usual modes of practice. The Fever and Ague
Powders will effect cure In cases of the long
est standing, as well as prove preventive in
the forming stages of disease. Being purely
Vegetable, they act with certainty on the dis
ease, totally eradlcating 1t from the system,
and preventing return at any future period.
Why waste your money and health in trying
every medicine you hear of, when Thompson's
Fever and Ague Powders have never failed to
cure the Chills in any case.
REASONS WHY THEY ONLY SHOULD BE
USED;
Their Reputation is Established. - Thousands
of testimonials have been received, showing
that these Powders have performed miracles in
curing cases of long standing, many of them
considered hopeless.
There is no Risk IN Taking Them. = They
contain nothing injurious, and, therefore, cause
none of those lingering diseases so often the re-
suit of the many nostrums of the day. Physi-
clans recommend them as far superior to Qui-
nine, or any other known remedy, for they leave
the system in a healthy state, and the patient
beyond the probability of relapse.
BEWARE OF CoUNTERFEITs. - The
genuine are put up in square tin boxes, with
"Thompson's Fever and Ague Powders"
stamped on the lid, and the signature of
"Thompson s. Crawford" on the wrapper
No others can possibly be genuine.

EQUALLY GOOD FOR MAN OR BEAST.
This Liniment has earned for itself reputa-
tion unequalled in the history of external ap-
plications. Thousands who now suffer from
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, &C., would find i'm
mediate relief from all their pain by using this
certain remedy. It is equally effectual in Cuts,
Burns, Scalds, Stiffness of the Neck, Sore
Throat, Swellings, Inhammations, Frost Bites,
Pains in the Side and Back, Bites of Spiders
or Stings of Insects. One rubbing will in all
cases give immediate relief, and few applica-
tions complete q cure. On account of its pow
erful penetrating properties II is beyond doubt,
the SUREST REMEDY for the most trouble
some diseases to which horses and cattle are
liable. 1t cures Scratches, Old and Fresh Cuts
and Sores, Chafes produced by collar or sad

hold suffrage has called into political ex-
~istence.' Financial reform is no doubt a
very useful thing, but the most useful re-
forms are not those which most readily
fascinate the majority of household
electors. BY the side of that bOur-
geoisie which approves of the diminution of
taxes, there are the radicals, who reproach
the Ministry with retarding the arrival ofthe
reign of social justice 3 the Ultramon-
tanes, who accuse him of favouring the
enemies Of the church the Irish, who
prefer to material satisfaction a few deli
cate compliments to nationality, and the
nonconformists, whose admiration for
Mr.. Gladstone is based upon the hope
that he will aid them in destroying the
Established Church of England. Having
such material to deal with, and having to
contend against the faintheartednes and
laxity Of such Of his followers as had no
special crotchets to advocate, it is little
wonder that the Premier was worsted IN
the encounter, and we can understand how
the Conservatives came to gain such a
splendid victory in 1874 without the coun-
try being in reality more conservative than
in 1868.

GREAT BRITAIN.

The result of elections is now stated as
follows: Conservatives returned 351 !;
Liberals and Home Rulers 3O2. Of these,
466 were elected after a contest. The
total number Of voters polled in the United
Kingdom was $500, 900. This is a consi-
derable falling off from the figures of the
last general elections and indicates that
the abstentions from voting were numer-

WHAT SHOULD MIR. GLADSTONE Do

The Conservative reaction is a real one,
says the Spectator, aud there is nothing
for the Liberal Party to do but exhibit
all the fortitude and resignation they can
muster, and 90 out Of power. 1t hopes
that the Premier will act upon Mr.. Dis
raeli's precedent (esign before Parliament
meets) and not upon the regular one, but
if he has hesitated, which it doubts, one
can scarcely wonder. He percelves what
the country scarcely does, how vast the
change is, how it will affect every section
of the public policy, the relation Of Bril-
tain to the world, the attitude of classes
towards each other, the position of every
interest, the management of every organl-
sation. If the Tory Government lasts FIVE
years, he himself, and many Of his col
leagues will be elderly men, and when
the Liberals next reach power it may be
with new ideas, and must be- with many
new leaders. He knows how many bene-
fetal designs he had, how many promises
he must leave unfuIfIled, how many
things of importance must, in his judg-
ment, for some time go wrong. 1t is not
q light thing to lay down the British
Premiership, but it has to be done, and
Mr.. Gladstone's best friends are those who
advise him that it should be done quickly.
The Daily Telegraph says: Mr.. Glad
stone needs no one to instruct him in the
course which his duty and his dignity
prescribe at the present juncture. The
opportunity which his Government gave
to the nation for a clear manifestation of
its will has been employed, in a manner
perfectly unmistakable, to withdraw IN
stead of to confirm that authority which
was in question. The opinion of the coun-
try is severely adverse to the Liberal Pre-
mier, and he will comply with it--As he is
bound-by consulting those high prece-
dents of constitutional procedure which
have been left by Sir Robert Peel, Lord
Melbourne, and Lord PaImerston. Each
of these Prime Ministers made appeals to
the country, and were placed in a minori-
tY. Each of them met Parliament in the
regular manner, with the Royal Speech,
and either resigned thereupon or submit
ted to q formal defeat.
