Three years slipped away. Three trav-
elers entered hotel in little foreign
town. One, beautiful woman, a little
past her first youth, whom one knew in a
moment in spite of the Improvement that
had taken place; but her brother was
scarcely to be recognized. A tutor and
three wears of foreign life had caused a
marvellous Transformation. The third, an
elderly lady, was not much altered, ex-
cepting that her dress was handsome as
heart could desire.
They took their places aRhe table -d'h0te,
and exactly opposite to them sat a lady
and gentleman. The latter looked wearied,
and his short, black mustache twitched
with the curvings of the restless mouth
beneath it. The lady was fair, fashionable
and vivacious.
Alice Jervis started She would have
moved, but William Jervis, all ignorant OF
past events, had exclaimed:
Mr. Scropen'
Mr.. Scrope looked across, wondering at
the friendly recognition from an apparent
stranger. Then his eye fell upon Alice
and he started, but quickly recovering
himself he bowed, saying:
Pardon me if l did not at first re-
member you"
Mrs. Scrope had turned in delight to-
ward William Jervis.
"The first English voice, excepting my
husbands, that [ have heard for three
weeks. do not understand Italian, and
have consequently had no one to talk to
but Mr.. Scrope. Can you imagine any
| thing more dreadfulp"
THEN, turning to her husband, she said {:
You must introduce me to your English
| friends"

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. Ain addition
to Governor and the State officers |
elected for four years, members of both |
houses of the Legislature and four repre- |
sentatives to Congress are to be voted |
for. The candidates for Governor
are Timothy q. Phelps (Republcan.)
William irwin Democrat,) W.
f. Lovett (Tem.), and John Bdwell
Und.). The Temperance men have made
no nominations for Congressman. The
nominees of the other three parties are
Ira =. Rankin, Horace +. Page, G. b.
Dcyio and ). o. Houghton (Rcps.l; w.
A. Piper, 5. Brannan (bolters): Henry
Larkin, John X. Luttreli aud ID. p. Wig
gington Dems.); John +. Swift,
Charles A. futile, Charles +.
Reed and j. s. THOMPSON
(lnds.). For minor State offices the
Republicans have nominated Joseph NJ.
Cain as Lieutenant Governor Edward
Hallett, Secretary Of State. and j. j.
Green, Comptroller. The Democratic
nominees are James A. johnson. Thomas
Beck and }. w. Vaudeville. Those of
the Independents are Pomnaldo PachccO,
william Roush and Lauren T.. Crane.
Messrs. Goodrich and Baxter, nominated
by the Temperance men as Lieutenant
Governor and Secretary OF State, have
declined to serve. The candidate for
Comptroller Is Joel Russell.
In the Second Congressional District,
the fight is between Page and Larkins.
Tuttle. SO far as heard from, Is much be-
hind. 1t is pretty generally the impress
sion that Piper Is ahead in this district.
but all speculation as to the result in the
city is utterly vague and unreliable.
Returns To date are meagre, but indi-
cate that the Democrats have elected the
State ticket by q large majority. Haugh-
ton and Luttrell are probably elected in
their respective Congressional districts.
No returns are yet In from the city pre-
cincts.
There are some scattering returns from
the city, but not enough to furnish any
indication Of the state Of the vote. The
they have elected most of their city OF.
ficers, but the Mayor is doubtful.
The vote Of the city is about $4,000. No
money was spent.
The city election returns indicate q
close fight for Mayer between Clayton. oi
the Chronicle ticket, and Bryant, Demo-
cratic ring candidate, and 1t may re-
Quire tho official returns to decide
the matter. Tine State Is conceded to Ir-
win, and the Democratic State ticket Is
elected by large plurality: Later indi-
cations are that Wiggington leads
Houghton. for Congress. In the Fourth
District. Piper Is thought TO be ahead In
the First District, with close fight be-
tween Swift and Park in the Third Dis
trict. Page and Larkin are running
close in the Second. No returns of the
Legislative tickets, but the Democrats will
undoubtedly have a plurality in botl
Houses, II not a majority.

TWENTY thousand Spaniards are to be
sent to Cuba to fight the patriots-ten
thousand immediately, and ten thousand
IN October. These are the reports that
valmascda puts forth to bleed the rich
monarchists of Cuba. How Spain can
spare twenty thousand men from her
own shores is an enigma. Don Carlos
keeps Spain busy at home, and the new
president of Cuba will keep Spain busy
In Cuba. The twenty thousand soldiers
report is considered dodge Of Val.

their treasure. He forclbly took from
the Spanish Bank, and In spite of the pro-
test of Its President, two million dollars
all the gold there was in the bank-osten-
sibly for the purpose ofpaying the troops,
who, for want of lay, were deserving in
large numbers to the Cubans. or this
sum only one-Quarter was applied to the

soon proved that riot was imminent.
They surrounded the building and made
several attempts to break the door, all
the while yelling savage vengeance on the
city and Its authorities. The Marshal,
with his deputized officers, then raided
