CHAPTER Ill.
AFTER THE HONEYMOON.

Three months had elapsed since the
midnight interview in Horace Margraves
chambers-three months and the Opera
House was opened for the season, and
three new tenors, and two sopranos, and
a basso-baritono had appeared under the
classic proscenium of Her Majesty's The
atre; the novel of the season bad been
circulated by Maudie; Rotten Row was
gay with Amazonian equestrlans and
GLase lifeguardsmen, with long amber
whiskers, as yet untrammelled by red
tape; moss roses were selling on the dusty
pavements of the West End streets; and
Coyent Garden was all bloom with ar
tistically arranged bouquets Of rich tropi-
cal flowers, gorgeous in color and delicious
in perfume,-London, in short, was in the
full hood-tide of the season, when Mr..
and Mrs. Henry Dalton returned from
their honeymoon visit to the Cumberland
lake district, and took up their abode in
the small house in Hertford-street. fur
nished by Ellinor before her marriage.
Hers has been a short courtship; al
the sweet uncertainties, the doubts, the
dreams, the fears, the hopes which make
up the poetical prologue to love-match
have been wanting in this marriage or
dained by the will of her late uncle-thi'
marriage, which is founded on esteem anC
not on affection; this marriage, into which
she has entered on the generous impuls'
ofan impetuous nature that has neye
learned TO repress emotion.
Is she happy? Can this cold esteem
this calm respect which she feels for tn
man chosen for her by another, satisfy tn
ardent heart of the romantic girl?
She has been already married six weeks
and she has not seen Horace Margravc
the only friend she has in England, ex
cept, of course, her husband, since lac

A Terrible Death i'm the Sewer of CIin-
ton. N.Y.. Prison.


1t is reported that Filkins, who for as
saulting and robbing an expIess messen~
ger on the cars at Albany, was sent to.
Clinton, and who subsequently escaped a
year ago, and was not heard from after
wards, never succeeded in leaving the
prison. 1t now transpires, says the AL
bany argus, that while men were en-
gagged in cleaning the main sewer under
the Dannemora prison, they came upon
the skeleton OF human body lying at
the bottom of the sewer and quite SUBJ
merged in filth. A close examination re-
vealed that it was the remains Of Filkins,
who had died there after escaping from
the corridors OF the prison down through
one of the water closets, in vain hope
of gaining his liberty by passing through
the sewer and out OF its mouth, which is
strongly closed with bars of heavy iron
secured at either side in walls of heavy
masonry. The officers consider this ver-
sion of the manner in which he probabl y
met his death as the most reasonable, fol
they are aware that two men a short
time ago, endeavored to effect an escape
in this way, no one but Filkins had dis
appeared since a previous cleaning OF the
sewer, and that no one could possibly
have reached the location occupied by
the skeleton other than through the wa
ter closet.

THE EDIToR'S RESPONSE.

DEDICATED TO A cRITIcIsING FRIEND
We only wish that Especial FRIEND"
About a half minute,
Just had our editorial chair,
And snugly seated in it.
She'd soon relent and change her mind,
And quit it in disgust;
And say this long furOre Of hers
Was every word unjust
The printers path is strewn throughout
With thorns instead Of roses;
And every step and turn he takes,
A horrid ghost discloses,
If Especial friend" would only lend
Some comfort sweet and cheering,
To help us DER life's rugged shore
We soon might cease from erriRg.

A COMEDY OF ERRORS.

"Were ever SO many blunders made?
What can the paper mean
By talking of the graceful brooks,
That gander DER the green?
And here's { instead Off,
Which makes it tipping rill;
Wen seek the shad, instead Of shade,
And hell instead of hill.
They look se-what? recOllect,

And now to think, the stupid fool
For bland has printed blind.

How anything is rendered blind

That such a trihing thing could change,

My lovely maid is mad;
They drove her blind, by pOking in
An eye--a process new,
And now they've gOuged it out again,
And made her crazy too.
Let's stop and recapitulate:
I've damned her eyes, that PLAIN
I've told her she's lunutic,
And blind, and deaf, and lame.
Was ever such horrid hash
In poetry or prose?

SUICIDE.
A ss.lea Dove rakes Her FIIgh,.


At IL o'clock last night Miss Lee Hall,
an inmate of Mrs. Glarke's bagnio on
Second street, near Madison, committed
suicide by taking an overdose of NOR
phine. Last evening she seemed to be
laboring under depression Of spirits and
went out for a few minutes. While gone
she purchased morphine, and on return
ing she retired to her room. In a short
time she was found in q dying condition
and became insensible. To day Coroner
Spelman held an inquest on the body of
the deceased, the jury returning a YER
dict of death by suicide, etc. Oar
reporter visited the establishment this
forenoon and found the dead girl laid
out. She was elegantly dressed in white
satin, her hands encased in white silk
gloves lay clasped across her brest. In
her dark hair appeared roses, and she
looked like the picture of Elaine the
lilly maid of Astolot as she aoated in the
barge past the white towers of CameIot.
The deceased was a pretty brunette, age
about Is years.of prepossessing manners
and appearance. OF her history our re-
porter could find out nothing except that
she has a sister in the same establish
ment. Rumors have it that the un-
fortunate committed suicide because her
lover deserted her and became attached
to another fair but frail sister Of the
demi-monde.

CONTEMPLATION Last NInht.


AT n o'clock last night a FIRE broke
out at the clothing stsre of II. Cohen &
Bro, on Charleston avenue, which fire
soon spread to and destroyed the adjoin.
ing buildings confectionery establish,
ment owned by John Barbierre; the sa-
leon Of John Hughes and a news stand
owned by Mr.. Hunter. The stock Of
Messrs. Cohen is v%ariously estimated at
from five to ten thousand dollars.
The No. l steamer, old Danbury, vas
the first at the fire and threw the FIRST
water, Notwithstanding the assertion of
the Mayor that the Adams street engine
had played out years ago. Fire Chief
McFadden surrounded the burning
buildings with his four engines and soon
suppressed the flames and saved adjoin-
ing property, which was in great danger
from the fire. The insurance was
as follows: On Cohen & Bros. cloth
ing store, $4,000, viz: In Tomlinson's
agency Queens of London), $1,000; and
in Marx Il Bensdorf 8 agency, $25OO in
the Hamburg and Bremen and $25OO in
the Hoffman Of New York. On the
building occupied by John Hughes as a
saloon, and owned by A. Lorenzi, was
an insurance for $4,000 in the Liverpool,
London and Globe, Greene & Lucas
agents. Mr.. Hughes had his stock in
sured for $25OO, company unknown.
The buildings were cheap structures,
valued at about $25O0. The Buildings
and a greater portion of the stock Of
goods are a total loss, aud those occupy
ing the buildings as sleeping apartments
lost all their clothing and furniture. The
fire was clearly the work of an incendi-
airy. The Fire Department did splendid
work during the conAagration.
Building No. 10, owned by Lorenzi,
vas occupied by Councilman Hughes as
a saloon, who claims a loss of $500 for
breakage and removal. Insured for
S25O0 in Beatty and Littlejohn's agency.
Buildings 734 and IS were insured for
5000 in Tomlinson's agency and 800 10
Darlington & Mason's agency.

The Other side OF the Question
Exhibited.
From the earliest ages of the worlds
history, the Garden of Eden for instance,
we find man and woman INDUCING more
or less in strong drink. The historic
apple Of Eden was certainly pressed
into cider or distilled into brandy, or
else Adam and Eve would certainly not
have forgotten the injunction, but they
anticipated the words of the poet Milton;
Zone sip Of this
viii battle the dropping spirits in DELIGHT,
Beyond the bliss of dreams. Be wise and
~taste."
Throughout both Sacred and Profane
history the use and abuse OF strong drink
as a beverage form many a page to adorn
or condemn most noted %personages.
Anacreon wal choked to death with a
grape stone, after having written most
wonderful poems or odes in praise of
wine and woman. So have written ali
the poets, ancient, medieval and mod
ern, to whose imaginative minds, warm
as the spring sunshine, the unity of wine
and woman is pictured forth in the
phase of a B~acchante, or a nude Venus
tempting the youthful Bacchus with a
bunch Of grapes. In the ninth century
the Northern Teutons, the descendants
Of 0din, rushed over Europe. These
sea kings we're called Bersakirs, or
"beer-suckers," from their use of an
intoxicating drink which made them
fierce cOnquerors. They sang the
praises of 0din and of beer as they
plowed the main and stormed castles
and cities. There is not q nation
in the world, heather or Christian, but
who have their strong drink. In more
modern times the poets continued to sing
the praises of drink such as the follow.
ing:
"Wine-bring wine
Flushing high with its growth divine,
10 the crystal depth of my soul to shine;
From, the warmth which Fancy's summe,
brought
To the vintage folds Of the land Of Thought.
Rich and free
To my, thirsting soul will tls goblet be,
Pour'd by the Hebe Poesy."
In our " day the German has his
lager, the Englishman his porter and
brown stout, the Frenchmau, Italian OIL
Spaniard his wine, the Irishman bis
whisky, the American his brandy, gin
whisky and rum. And soft goes all the
world over. Even the savage tribes o,
Indians, the natives Of Africa, the
bushmen of Australia, the South Ses
Islander, etc., have their favorite strong
drink.

Death of a Journalist.

Mr.. NJ. Z. Smelser, of the Avalanche
editorial staff, died of consumption at 81
o'clock on Saturday evening. When
first he went on the Avalanche, in 1871,
no more robust and athletic man was
connected with the Memphis press, but
the insidious disease, superinduced by
hard reporterial work, which necessitated
late hours and exposure by day and
night, sapped away his health, and he
now has become one of the clods OF the
valley. We knew him well as a brother
reporter and al testify to his ability
and worth, interchangeable in the search

in a most readable style, rather sensa-

Blunt and brusque in manner, his style
Of writing assumed the same forms Of
boldness which, of course, made him q
few enemies, but suoh is the fate of all
independent and fearless journalists who
thrust the rapier deep into error and
wrong, whenever and wherever such ap.
pear. Educated to the law, he became
one of the leading reporters of cur city,
his habits of thought and legal studies
having eminently fitted him for journal
istic life. Beneath a rough exterior
there beat a kind heart and a generous
disposition, which often developed int,
the gentleness of a child. Peace to hii

tues are weighed Above, may the result

We call the attention of our citizens
to the fact that clothing and furnishing
goods are being sold at lower prices by
Sproule & McCown than any other house
in the South. They possess immense
advantages. Have their own manufac-
tory, a buyer Of forty years experience,
buy exclusively for cash, thereby OBJ
tanning the very best prices and enabling
them to sell goods at about the price
others have to buy at. A close ex
animation of their stock and prices will
prove such to be the facts. They are
now offering an immense stock of first
class clothing (of broken lots) at one
half their original cost. Ii you want a

SPECIAL NOTICE.
PRACTICE Versus Theory.

The theory Of disease accepted by physi-
clans is, that symptoms are merely sympa-
thetic indications Of its existence, and have
in most instances little or nothing to do with
fixing its LEGALITY. Their practice, however,
is diametrically opposed to their theory, for
they administer medicines which affect
symptoms only. The remarkable cures Of
dyspepsia, sick headache, constipation, rheu-
matism, general debility, urinary and kidney
Hostetters Stomach Bitters, could never
have been accomplished by remedies which
addressed themselves merely 10 the removal
of any one of the manifold and complicated
symptoms TO which those maladies give rise.
Acting, as the Bittors do, directly upon the
stomach and tributary organs, overcoming
their irregularities and endowing them with
renewed vigor, they control, as II we're, the
springs of vitality, purifying and giving them
fresh impetus, and dispersing all those har-
raising symptoms which proceeded from theiG
