Maiden Innocence or Forethought9

A letter from Watch HILL r. to the
Boston Herald relates this story: "a very
pretty love romance has cropped out this
summer at the hill, which may be worth
the telling The pretticst girls at one Of
the great hotels is about eighteen. This is
her first season out, and she was fancy free
when she came here. She is the niece of
distinguished Chicago merchant, and is
here with bis family to spend some Of an
an only child. She is fond of the Sea ana
open air generally, and every morning in
duges in generous bath in the breakers.
She makes pretty picture as she threads
the white sand, elastic and symmetrical in
her movements, to dash into the water and
to be caught up and tossed in the surf. A
young doctor from the city of Providence
evidently thought so, for he generally man
aged to be on hand to battle at the same
time. He did not speak to her, but acted
as kind of protecting spirit over her lava
ton. fearful of every rude wave that visited
her fair body too roughly. / don't think
she ever noticed it, but he was very con-
slant in his protection for some time. One
morning week or 80 ago the divine Miss
took notion into her head to battle before
breakfast, and proceeded to the beach quite
alone. She was frolicking in the waves all
by herself and having merry time when
young Esculapius CHANGED to pass by,
'strolling on the sands, probably to gain
the morning appetite. The girl was sud
denly taken with cramp, saw shark, or
thought something dreadful was going to
happen to her, for she gave Wild shrek
to the stranger for help. He heard the
cry and saw the beseeching attitude, and
rapidly throwing off his coat sprang into
the surf, entirely regardless of his best pair
of summer pantaloons. He aided the girl
ashore tenderly, soothed her fears, re-
ceived her gushing thanks for having
saved her life, and accepted an invitation
to breakfast with Der. Fortunate young
doctor She proved good patient. They
have been together ever since, and every
body says that the wedding this fall will be
| celebrated with all the pomp and circum-
stance that Chicago is capable Of"

A Speech by Hon. A. H. Stephens.

Hon, Alexander II. Stephens made n
brief speech at Cave Spring, Ca, on the
9th inst, where he was visiting as the
guest of the superintendent of the deaf and
dumb asylum. Large numbers of the citi-
zens came to see him, and, after stating the
object of his visit, says Georgia paper,
MIR. Stephens preferred to the future of
our great country, and said it would be just
what the people make it. He paid
glowing tribute to our matches system of
government, and appealed to the people
not to fOrsake it, because it was badly II
ministered. He said we should make
discrimination between the principles of n
government itself and the manner in which
It is to be administered. If badly admin
istercd we must seek to put in power
honest men, and Dive the money changers
from the temple of liberty. This accom-
plished, the people would find the pillars,
columns and arches all standing as ouI
fathers placed them there. MIR. Stephens
paid beautiful and pathetic tribute to the
GLORIOUS Fourth of July He said it be-
lOuged 10 the south as much as it does to
the north; that the Declaration of Indie
pendence is the production of a southern
man; that our armies that achieved it were
led by southern man; that the federal
constitution was drafted by southern man
paying to Jefferson, Washington and
Madison a warm and patriotic tribute.
Said he, the Fourth of July is as much
ours as anybody's, and that We should
never voluntarily surrender our claim to it.
Mr.. Stephens hoped and believed that the
great centennial OF next year wonld be the
means of breaking down every barrier to
fraternal brotherhood, and reunite the
whole country in a new impetus to enter
on higher and grander career than ever
before achieved"

BRISTOL.
A kerosene lamp exploded in Shattuck's
drug store last Monday evening, setting
fire to his lahratory. Fortunately for the
business portion of the village it was ex-
tinguished, for if the fire had once got
under way distance only would have
checked it. Owing to the indiscretion and
penuriousness of the citizens the village has
no fire engine, even after so hard lesson
as they have had within few years.
A reunion of the Addison county cornet
bands was held in Gains grove on Tuesday.

Interfere with him, but the stranger was
taken to the Prince street police station
He there informed the sergeant on duty
that he had been also employed by Mr..
Merrill to watch the premises, and having
fully satisfied the sergeant that his state
ment was true, he was discharged. He
returned to his post of observation and re-
NAMED there until the store was opened,
when both he and Vessel left, having
failed, as they claim, to notice any suspi-
cious persons about the premises. When
the store was opened for business yester-
day morning, the visit of the burglars was
discovered. There was not the slightest
mark of violence on the outside door, and
from a thorough examination of the place
1t would seem that the burglars were fur.
nished with duplicate keys to the lock Ct
front door and also to the paddock outside.
BY means of these keys they had gained an
entrance to the list floor, occupied by
Merrill e. Wilkin, and they were locked in
by confederate, so that while they were
at work in the store the policeman on post
finding the door fastened would have no
suspicion of their presence inside. After
the burglars had gained access to the first
floor Of the premises they descended to the
basement and proceeded to cut a hole in
the floor at the hallway leading to the
upper floors. BY standing upon num-
Der of empty cases they were enabled to
reach the ceiling of the basement, and
with brace and bit they bored a number
of holes in the planking and with saw
cut out square piece of the flooring, maxi
ing an aperture sufficiently large for man
to crawl. through with ease. This gave
the burglars access to the stairway to the
upper floors. They assembled 10 the second
floor, occupied by Mr.. METRE, where they
selected large number of pieces of gui-
pure lace of the finest qualities. The laces
they carried down stairs to the first floor,
where they opened the package, took the
lace from the cards on which 1t was wound
and packed it in trunk and valise be-
longing to travelling salesman of Messrs.
Merrill d. Wilkin. They succeeded in
making their escape with the goods in the
same manner in which they had entered
the place, locking the door after them,
without being observed or m1lested. The
missing goods are valued by Mr.. METRE at
between $4,000 and $4,000. The burglars
did not leave the slightest clue to lead to
their identity, even taking their tools with
them. The most singular feature of the
affair is that burglars could have entered
the place and carried off the goods without
observation while the private detectives
were, as they allege, closely watching the
premises. The burglary was reported to
inspector McDermott, of the second dis
trict, yesterday morning, and detectives
Reilly and Williamson, of the central Office
have charge of the case. From the infor-
nation they have been able to obtain, and
from an examination of the premises, they
are of the opinion that the burglary was
committed on Saturday night. The matter
will be thoroughly investigated.
