light saw Willie ask her to take a
ride. She said she would 20 if went.
So it was decided to take the double
carriage and invite Charley to accom-
pany us. Down by the little falls in
the river we stopped and Louise lean
ing little ont from the front scat,
sang merry song full Of ripples and
trills and cascades of melody. So
the summer passed along. One day
in September Louise received a letter
the first since she had told me she
must leave US.
NO." said "we can never do
without you. Who says you must
go?"
"Fate and my guardian she an
swered sadly. II am sorry, for l
have been very happy here"
Even then dared not ask single
question about herself. Another
week, and she must 60 to Southing,
she told me, a little town about hun
drcd miles distant, ''Thatis something
definite at last" thought l. The boys
and Louise got along splendidly and
| never could imagine which one she
preferred. She seemed SO impartial
and sisterly towards them both, that
no one would imagine she had any
particular feeling for either, but "our
folks" saw with some misgiving, that
both the bows were wonderfully at
tracted by the hired girl. The last
night saw Charley ask Louise for
one promenade i'll the garden. AS
they passed into u little side arbor,
saw his arm encircle her waist. just
then Willie came up the walk look
ing very white. Poor brother Willie!
Late in the evening they came in. l
heard them come up the stairs, heard
Charles pass into his room. Louise
came to my door and knocked. l
arose and admitted her. A bright,
deep color was in her cheeks, and her
eyes showed new, strange feeling.
l waited for her to speak.
"Flora, you can perhaps tell me the
cause when l tell you l am happier
tonight than Pvc ever been before"
'sIsn't Charlic?" said 7.
"Yes," she said; "and since YOU
will not ask me, l will volunteer to
tell why am here this summer. Mr..
Harrington, my guardian, did not
agree to the way l spent my time.
He objects to four hours daily at the
piano, two or three in dress or prom
enade, and the remainder in eating
and sleeping. He told me was
good fornothing, and that he would
never let me travel until l knew all
about housekeeping. Iaskcd to have

and one day, seeing your advertise

you know the rest. Mr.. Harrington
ferretcd me out or l would not be
leaving tomorrow, just as the tlHcsh-
crs are upon You.
Long, long we talked that night of
the past, present and brightly dawn

let Louise stay, and be married 1T
Christmas. So we got Ellen to come
back and be 'bossed," while Louise

OMAHA, Neb, February 21.-Dur-
ing General Sheridan's short stay in
Omaha, he expressed the opinion that
we are On the verge of an Indian war
The expedition that is DOW being
fitted out at Cheyenne for the Red
Cloud and Spotted Tail agencies, and
for which General Sheridan is now
going west to make final arrangements,
is being organized for the purpose Of
arresting the Indians who have been
killing settlers, running of stock, etc. !,
and for the purpose Of bringing in all
the bands Of Indians who are now off
their reservations in violation of law.
Robinson, Coleman, Appleton and the
settlers herds and ranchmen who have
been butchered are victims Of the In
dian outbreak, and their blood calls for
proper punishment to be metea to their
laurderers. There VII be no attempt at
war with Red Cloud and Spotted Tail,
unless they seek to prevent tie accom-
Illshment # the object for which the
expedition was organized.
The expedition now fitting out at
Cheyenne is moving in attachments
from Fort Russell to Fort Laramie.
Some OF the troops are already on the
way and others are getting ready to
move. Within one week the entire
expedition will be on the march.
At Fort Laramie the Command will
be divided into two detachments and
move thence to the Red Cond agency.
General Sheridan is Of the opinion
that the Indians will at ack the col.
umn in force before they reach the
agency. That will be the beginning
of long Indian war. From all pre-
sent appearances, there will be lively
military operations in the Indian ooun-
try during the coming season.

Chang and Eng.

The autopsy of the siamese twins
Chang aud Eng, began at Philadel
phia, Feb. 26. The scalpel was first
used Oil the connecting band between
the two brothers. The abdominal
c3vities were entered for the purpose
of examining the yiscera This in
vestigation WAS attended with most
gratifying success, aud the physicians
were rewarded in their efforts in find
Ing that the lungs, heat, penrncreas,
liver, spleen and alimen,ary canals
were exce|leutly developed in each,
and that all the parts above named le-
sembled those OF ordinary mortals.
Approaching the baud, the lower Dor.
ton OF the ensilorm cartilage or breast
bone in each joins, by doubling or
bending out, making almost a long
union, with distinct joint at the cen
trail point Of union, Oh which the bodies
hinge freely. This joint is somew hat
similar to, but not so com plicated as,
that the elbow. The band at the small
er part has circumference of pine
inches, and when the link was stretch
ed and the twins were strod as far apart
as possible, there was a space of Ell ght
inches intervening.
Yesterday the skin of each BODY
was cut through posterioriIy and thrown
back from the band and adjacent struct-
urcs, exposing SUPERFICIAL and deep fas-
ella or fatty tissues, IN the rectur muscle
of each. The great question Of whether
they GOULD have been separated in life,
Was settled 10 tie negative BY various
abdomi aal sections which were made.
The peritoneum or membranous lining
of the belly in each was found to enter
the band, and four pouches cu1s de sac
oyerkpped each other at the centre
Of tho band. The most marked featu .
there was the presence of Two such
pouches from tao b,dy Of the larger
brother, Chang; the upper one shorter
than the lower, but each lap2ing, ono
from above ind the other from below
the single pouch of Eng. An almost
exact lde@ Of the arrangements Of these
cs!a Gs &c mss DO Obtained by holding
the fist joint Of the forednger between
tho shumb and finger Of thu other
naud. The astounding and curious
sact wa developed that = line passing
dowa the centre IF the baud would
sever all taroo Of These prolopg.tions,
and open the peresonital cavity of each
liver. Il ths knife had been used in
life. death would have most probably,
II DOT necessarily. resulted.
Prominent among the physiological
peculiarities was the appearance of
what Dr.. Paacosst called the fatty
chord, which extended from the mu-
Gus membrane of the stomach, to which
it rethered, in the direction of, but
net quite into, the band of union.
There were peculiarities Of the umbili-
cal and liver in each body, together
with many other abnormal growths
rarely found in the human anatomy.
The examination showed that there
was partial circulation through the
heart, as was seen from the passage of
the injecting matter used in embalm-
ing. The abdominal organs lie in close
contact with these pouches, but are
not continuous into them.

TEMPERANCE AND SUNDAY LEG.
ISLATION.

The new liquor bill of the Reform
ers came up in the Assembly for it's
passage Wednesday evening Of last
week and great degree Of interest
was manifested over the result by both
the friends and enemies of the meas.
ure. The new bill We were told was a
very versatile measure satisfying to the
utmost degree the liquor men, tenn
perance men, christians, in6dels, ct III.
An attempt was made to amend the
insidions provision in the new bill
which was pronounced by the ablest
lawyers in the Assembly repeal OF
Of the time honored law Of this state
interdicting the sale of liquor on cleo
tion days or Sundays. This amend
ment was defeated by one majority

by almost strict party vote, the so.
called "Reformers" voting for the bill
and the Republicans against. The
bill is now before the Senate where its
passage is doubtful.
The Reformers cannot look upon
their so-called Temperance Legislation
IS very much Of a success. They claim
that the new bill is very much opposed
by all the liquor men, and Judging By
Che many thousand remonstrances
which have been sent in, we incline tc
think that it will be fully as objection
able to temperance people. The action
taken last week on the Sunday question
will be very heavy load for the new
party to carry before the country. 1t
will take great deal Of explanation on
1he part of the reformsrs to sat.
sfy their constituents that they did
right in refusing to amend the bill so
Is to say that the Sunday lay of chap

A Pilgrimage to Rome.

A pilgrimage to Rome and elsewhere
by the Roman Catholics of this coun-
try is about to be begun. The depart
ure of the pilgrims will take place from
this port not later than the middle Of
next May. The movement has been
thus far under the supervision of
the Catholic Union, Circle of New
York, who appointed committee to
ascertain the state of the lay Catholic
feeling in America on the subject.
Having obtained what was deemed en-
couraging information, an additional
committee was appointed to organize
the movement. This committee con-
sisted of Messrs. j. D. Kelly, P. NJ .
Haverty, r. H. Churchill, and G N.
Morse, with an ex-oficio addition Of
DR.. Il. J. Anderson, Chairman Of the
Catholic Union, and the Rev. P. T.
Dealy, S. j., its spiritual director.
This committee waited on Archbishop
McCloskey, and ascertained that be
net only approved Of the pilgrimage,
but promised it his blessing. The
Committee then issued circular lei.
ter the Hierarchy, explaining the OBJ
ject Of the pilgrimage, and the pro-
posed date of departure. The pilgrims
will leave this city and land at Havre
or Brcst, where they will proceed to
the grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes, and
after one or perhaps two days of devo-
ton, continue on their way to Rome.
After paying homage to the Holy
Father and obtaining his blessing, a
visit is to be made to shrines of the
Apostles and some other of the most
famous sanctuaries of Rome; after
which, at option of the pilgrims, they
will either proceed severally or in
groups5 to other sanctuaries, protract
their visits in the city, or return home.
1t is stated that the whole pilgrima- e
may not occupy more than fifty days,
nor cost more than $3.50 in gold, in.
Guiding all necessary expenses for a
seven days sojurn in Rome but even
this sum, it is said, may be reduced by
larger number than fifty joining the
expedition, 1t is proposed, however,
to limit the party to the accommoda-
tions Of one 6rst-elass steamer, or from
$50 to 250persons.
Ii $50 persons deposit $3.50 each be,

We wish to call the particular attention of
the public to the folio wing peculiarites of
our stoves, in which they differ from all

ole at the top, can be raised or lowered BY
this means the quantity of coal on combus-

sizes Of coal, or suiting 1t to the varying
temperature of the weather.
Sd The Revertlbe fues within the
