A sudden blaze of light poured in up
on the two young people, both SO hand
some and SO pale and agitated from their
separate emotions; and looking up they
saw the crimson curtains drawn aside, and
and man, young, tall broad-shouldered,
with cropped head, large nose, heavy, low
forehead, and clean, hairless face,-just
the type. of the muscular, brainless, self
opinionated young Briton of the nine
teenth century-standing in the opening.
"Our dance, Miss Stuart, think" call
ed the "heavy,' taking note meanwhile of
the parti a deur before him. "Been
looking for you everywhere. Mrs. -,
what do you call her2-your chaperon
said you were in the other ROOM"
"Our dance" repeated Helen reluctant
ly. Percy Lennox had ofended-offend-
ed greviously-but she had not the heart
to leave him thus. II think not"
"Not a doubt of it. There's your
name on my card-'Lancers' Set just
now. Come along"
Suppose | give you waltz instead"
she said, with sweet winning smile which
most assuredly deserved Percy's epithet
false at that moment Il am SO tired,
and can't bear the Iancers.'"
"Can't you9 Glad I'm not one. Next
waltz then. Pom my word, think you'er
right; such lot of old cats in square
dances, makes them so beastly disagree
able. Much nicer out here"
He had planted himself on the vacant
seat, laying one broad reddish hand on
the back of Helen's chair, and evidently
meant to remain.
Something like shiver ran through
the frame OF the man whose eyes were
again gazing on the park trees
Half in temper, half in disappointment,
Helen rose from the seat.

So MUCH is being said just now about
President Grants Cuban policy by the so
called Great Dailies of New York that the
public is liable to become unduly excited
over comparatively unimportant matter.
The idea that war would follow with Spain
in the event of recognition of the indie
pendence of the Cuban insurgents is ridicu-
lous. Such a recognition would simply
place the belligerents on an equality as re-
CARDS the United States, the same as Ger
many and France enjoyed during the late
war between those two Powers. Any one
who is at all versed IN the usages of inter,
national law will at once recognize and
admit this fact. In short, the United
States would, under such a contingency,
assume position of friendly neutrality as
regards two nations, with each of which
they would have friendly relations. But
the question after all is whether President
Grants Cuban policy contemplates any
such results. The Great Dailies assume
that it does; but like many other of their
assumptions there is doubt about the basis
upon which it rests. They have, in fact,
no authority for presuming that the past
policy of the Government as regards Cuba
will be changed, and they are simply
afraid that the President will add to his
undoubted popularity by so changing it as
to make it accord thoroughly with the
sympathies and aspirations of the Ameri-
can people. As they are enemies of his
administration they are anxious that he
shall not do anything to increase its popu-
larity. At the same time they pretend to
be apprehensive of that great national-dis-
aster-a Third Term.

If Secretary Bristow obtains the authority
of Congress to issue the four and four and
q half per cents in sums of fifty dollars and
snultiples thereof and offers them in such
sums to the people for their small savings,
the latter will withdraw enough of their
deposits from these banks in single year
to take up the entire balance of this loan.
We hope that the Secretary will ask the
necessary modification of the law for this
purpose, and thus give our own people an
opportunity to keep portion of our bonds
at home. Such bonds would form the most
attractive security in the world, on account
of its negotiable character and the facility
of realization whenever funds were wanted

The "Sovereigns Of Industry" are over
whelming us with inquiries for the names of
the firms who decline to advertise in journal
that publishes statements based upon their
data. They not only reiterate the correctness
of the figures, but add that not half the sick.
ening details of these "shoddy" clothing shops
have been printed yet, and promise to furnish
another batch for next Saturday. Perhaps no
one would have suspected the renowned pala-
tial establishments of A. Saks & Co. and liable
Bros. of containing such goods ifthose firms had
not made such indecent haste to resent what
they denote as an insult to them and their
business. TWAS this implied acknowledgment
of guilt which attracted public attention to
these large houses. Their haste to put on the
cap and proclaim the ft warns the "Soy-
ereigns" to go elsewhere for the genuine article.
We regret exceedingly, for their own sakes,
that they appear to be in this category of
"shoddy" " dealers. We do not say that they
are, but we must admit that their conduct
looks very suspicious. The article to which
they take exceptions did not intimate that
there were any "shoddy" establishments in
Washington. We did not suspect there were
any, but least OF all did we suspect liable
Bros. and A. saks g. Co. How are the mighty
fallen, indeedl We are informed, upon the
best authority, that these offended clothiers
have even been going about to others in the
trade and soliciting their cooperation in an
attempt to withdraw advertising patronage
from the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN. We are
happy to know that their efforts were not
crowned with any iattering success. Their
rivals In trade could not see in the article in
question any attack upon legitimate trade.
And they do not propose to be made cats
paws for the rescue of the burned chestnuts of
others

If THE President would only tell the
Great Dailies of New York exactly what
he intends to say about Cuba in his message,
he would relieve them from great deal of
anxiety. They may find some consolation,
however, in the illusions he has made to
this subject in his previous messages, and
in the certainty that he will not deyiate in
the future from the consistent course sug-
gested by those illusions.
National Republican., 1875-11-16

In ORDER that our readers may know
the merits of the latest controversy, and
Just how much cause the clothing mer-
chants of Washington have for complaint
we reprint in another column the article to
which exception has been taken by two
large houses. 1t will be observed that in
it no intimation is given that any of our
city merchants were engaged in the line of
business described.

Some little boys in Connecticut, who have
made it regular and persistent practice to
take their Sunday-school time to rob birds
nests in, undertook recently to break the dull
monotony of the present hard times by soaking
a kitten with petroleum and burning 1t to
satiate an uncomfortable desire to have q bon
fire. There were eight of these youngsters,
but, fortunately, four little girls caught them
in the cruel sport, and in less than one minute
after they came upon the scene they pulled the
boys back hair down and walked of with
the kitten in triumph. They say that they
would have whipped q whole academy Of boys
rather than have that kitten suffer. Boys are
not of much account nowadays, so long as
there is a little wizen-faced, shaggy, ribbon
robed poodle or milk-lapping kitten around.
In fact, the girls are getting so peculiar that
we know of cases where they actually refused
to give young men the mitten-such paltry
thing as a mitten, mind you-when it might
have rescued the boys from life OF unremit-
ting wretchedness. But then girls are SO funny,
you know, under the reign of Pull-back, the
sovereign can't-sit-down of fashion, that we
don't wonder the boys seek consolation in burn
ing cats at the stake.

And now that nervous, active, restless, gen.
erous French people propose in an impulsive
moment to abolish the old worldwide familiar
courtesy of handshaking. Susceptible to the
moving influence of wild suspicious, as they
are, in this custom, they see the traces Of
something of weird significance, born away
back in the days of Masonic infancy, and wish
to introduce the simple custom of slight bow
of the head in order to dispel the monster.
There is something about decorous bow or
modest "good morning" that seems so cold
and unfriendly, so Indifferent and formal that
it makes person of generous impulses shud-
der. Men are strange enough to each other
without introducing a custom which must
necessarily make them much stranger. What
humanity needs now more than anything else
is knowledge of humanity, and the world
would pass faster on towards the goal of that
perfection which it must acquire before the
effulgent millennium will dawn in all its
brightness upon it, should man meet his fellow
man with more frankness and an honest heart
felt shake of the hand.

THE DORA BENKART INQUEST.

The inquest in the case OF Dorothy Benkart, the
young woman who died recently under suspicious
circumstances was resumed yesterday morning,
at Farmingham, before Coroner Baylis. There
was quite an excitement IN the village over the
case, as it was rumorei that the jury would bring
In q verdict, and the outsiders were discussing
the merits OF the case in very free language.
Coroner Baylis did not have any further evidence
to put before Tue Jury, and so they were allowed
to retire shortly after eleven a. NJ. to deliberate
on their verdict. They remained out until alter
two 2. NJ. and then sent for the Coroner and gave
a verdict to the effect that, in their opinion
Dorothy Benkart died from exhaustion, caused by
the birth OF a child and the gross negligence Of
the parties III attendance. AS the Coroner made
no arrests, not having sufficient grounds to mold
any one, the outside public were rather dis
So listed, as they all feit interested in the de-
ceased who appears to have been general
favorite. This inquest ON the body OF
THE INFANT CHILD
will be held on Thursday at the ga me place ana
different result is anticipated. The pos.-mortem
dence aud number OF witnesses will be ex
ahmed, with view OF hXiag the exact hour of
the birth OF the child and obtaining further par
ticulars IN regard to every person that entered
the sick chamber at that time. At the very east
there must have been the most criminal neglect
in regard 10 the death OF tie child, as even should
the post-mortem prove no actual violence, IL VIII
show that the hel less little one was lett TO bleed
TO death. The acton OF jeremiah Weaver, James
Weaver and Kate Robinson Will require some lit
tie further explanation before their connection
with The case be construed into mere
fliendly sympathy Tor the deceased girl. There Is
something strange and culpaby Deglectful ABOUT
the action OF DorotDy's parents, as doctor
