ssThank you," he replied with evident
pleasure. ssWell, then, allow me to
show you to Mrs. Pages room, and to
beg of you to make yourself quite at
home there. And while you are exchang
ing your wet clothing for dry, will at
tend to the wants of my friend Barney;
and then we will partake of my bache-
lor's fare"
Katy quickly exchanged her wet riding
habit for clean, dark calico wrapper,
with a neatly crinped muslin ruff1e at
the neck, and then returned to the sup
per room. She tasted the big bears
porridge, she thought, as she seated
herself at the table, and took the prof
fered cup of tea from her entertainer.
The meal over and the table cleared,
DR.. Ray brought forward huge port
folio of drawings and engrayings. When
these were exhausted which was not
soon, for Katy was an enthusiastic adj
mirer of pictures, and there were anec-
dotes and adventures, and legends con-
nected with many of them, That she must
hear-they turned with one impulse to
the organ. They were both thorough
performers and ardent admirers of music;
commented upon and criticised, the
time went by all unheeded until II
o'clock surprised them still at the in
strument.
ct am profoundly grateful to Barney
for this one evenings solid enjoyment, !"
said the doctor, as he handed Katy her
bedroom candle, and babe her good
night.
Katy's aunt and the Tow Head were
waiting at the gate the next morning,
when she, accompanied by DR.. Ray,
drew rein before it.
"Oh you good -for-nothing Barney!"
said Mrs. Dare, shaking her fist at the
horse. "I called for you, Katy, to tell
you of his undying affection for DR.. Ray,
but couldn't make you hear. [ ought
to have thought of it sooner. was a
little uneasy about you, but no one else
was. They all said that you were safe
enough with Mrs. Page"
For my part, said Katy. stroking
Barney's glossy neck, 81 don't see
how anybody could bear to sell horse
that manifests so much intelligence
and devotion. Tn sure that I never
could"
"Pd buy him back this minute, 2 said
DR.. Ray, impulsively, if"
He stopped quite as suddenly, look
ing somewhat confused at the inquiring
chances bent upon him; and singularly
enough, it was six months or more be
fore he finished the sentence, although
there is no doubt out that Katy guessed
it's purport long before that time.
For fear some of my readers do not
feel sure what it was, will report it
verbatim IF the girl he brought me
one stormy night were my wife. =
Well, Katy is not his wife yet, but
she wears his ring, and Barney viii go
back to his old master in a few weeks.

A Basket of Babies.

While Maj. Howrigan, the ever-active
and watchful manager in the depot shed,
was directing the Eastern arrivals to
their trains yesterday morning, his
watchful eyes lighted upon basket. Il
was a common clothes basket, carried
by two men. Howrigan stopped them
and inquired:
What's that in Jour basket? Take
it to the baggage Car.

"Twins?"

left out of four" 5It4t4 nv
ssGood Lord deliver us You can
pass on" said the Major, almost dumb
founded at the sight of three healthy
looking infants Nesting down asleep IN
the center of the basket.
Then the mother came up-a bright,
buxom, rosy-cheeked woman, as pretty
as q peach. She blushingly smiled upon
the dumbfounded Major as she re-
marked: tstN -

STRENGTH FOR TO-DAY.
By MRS. n. A. KIDDER.

Strength for to-day is all that we need.
AS there never viii be a tomorrow:
For Tomorrow will prove but another to-day.
WIN It's measure OF joy and sorrow.
Then why forecast the trials of life
With such grave and sad persistence.
And watch and wait for crowd of iIls
That as yet has no existence?
Strength for to-cay-whata precious boon
For the earnest souls who labor
For the willing hands that minister
To the needy friend ca neighbor.
Strength for to-day-that the weary hearts
In the battle for right may quail not
And the eyes bedimmed with bitter tears.
In their search for light may fail not.
Strength for to-day, on tho downhill track.
For the travellers near the valley
That up, far up on the other side
Ere long they may safely rally.
Strength for to-day-that our precious youth
May happily shun temptation
And build from the rise to the set of sun
On strong and sure foundation,
Strength for to-day-in house and home
To practice forbearance sweetly-
To scatter kind words and loving deeds
Still trus ting in God completely.
Strength for to days all that we need,
AS there never will be a tomorrow;
For tomorrow viii prove bnt another to-day.
With its measure of JOY ana sorrow.

DeadWOOd City and it's People.

On Sunday afternoon, after two days
more of the toughest riding [ ever ex-
perienced, our wearisome march was
ended at Deadwood City. The town
lies in the bottom of long and deep
gulch, through which Deadwood and
Whitewood creeks wind their tortuous
way close beside each other. The name
of the region is derived from the vast
number of dead pine trees which line
the hillsides III ali directions, and lena a
gaunt and spectral appearance to the
landscape. The city itself lies through
a greater part of the gulch bottom, and
consists of double row of rough board
and log cabins lying on either side of
the single street. The day of our arri-
valbeing Sunday, the town was thronged
with miners, who had come in from
their claims in inc vicinity to spend a
1.-THE of their vast earnings for the
week. Standing at the head of the
thoroughfare, and looking over the
long stream Of moving humanity, [ es-
timated the number OF persons to be
about {, 900. Gambling saloons, dance
houses and bar-rooms were all in full
play, opening publicly from the street.
A little knot of people gathered with
uncovered heads in the middle of the
roadway marked the progress of ap
afternoon prayer meeting = the full
soIemnity of worship, surrounded by
the reckless hilarity of frontier min
ing camp. The contrast was sharp and
striking. A general view of the faces
which surrounded me as I passed up
the street was not conducive to favor
able preconception of the character of
the inhabitants. A rougher and more
desperate looking crowd, generally
speaking, I never saw. Horse thieves,
gamblers, murderers, surrounded me on
every side. New mining camps are the
refuge for all outlaws from civilization.

A ReSurrectiOniSt.

Prof. Nixon, who does business under
the firm name of Egyptian Prophet and
Enchanter, performed his resurrection
trick near Charleston, S. c., ashort time
ago. He was buried in pine coffin six
feet under ground, and at the end of
half an hour burst from the tomb at the
sound of brass bugle blown by col
ored Gabriel, and Immediately called fer
drink of whisky. The grave was SIX
feet long and six feet deep. About
eight inches from the headboard the
trickster had dug blind well about six
feet deep. This was rooted with thin

boards about a foot and half below the
surface, and these were covered with
earth. When the coffin was lowered
into its place and the grave was filled
up, the corpse KIN ,cked out the head
board and grut bed his way through the
six inches of earth that separated him
from the blind well. Crawling into it,
and having enough air to keep him alive
for several hours, he quietly awaited the
signal for resurrection. ;

A few days since, the poor crazy En-
press Carlotta escaped from the Chateau
de Lacken, where she is still under care.
After finding her, it was difficult to make
her return, and she was induced to do
so at length by the stratagem OF fling
ing flowers before her, as she is very
fond of flowers.

The blood rushed through my brain
She turned her face to me;

Burst into green and bloom.

50 high he seemed to stand,
My hope grew faint and dim;
His love came like hand

Within me, all is light

For me, night is not night,
And day is more than day!
And thus my hope comes true
Oh, hope how faint and dim
And so what can do
But love and live for him

But I fear," said Katy, not at all
pleased with the idea of spending the
night in strange house, alone with a
strange man. though the other alterna-
tive OF riding fifteen miles through the
pines with him had less attractive feat

During this speech, Katy had been

her clear penetrating gaze continued to
rest there 50 searchingly that he could

The defense which Governor Grover
OF Oregon has promulgated through the
medium OF an Eastern journal, OF his
action in furnishing a certificate to the
Democratic Elector. Cronin, 10 one Of
tho weakest which ever a public man
put forth in vindication Of his course.
In the frat place. Governor Grover
knows. as every man in Oregon knows,
that his powers are simply ministerial.
not judicial. II is his business TO issue
certificates to the three men having the
highest number Of votes. He has no
authority. under the law OF the State.
which is very strict. to even take into
consideration the qualifications OF the
men elected. any more than he has to
judge Of the qualification Of q duly
elected legislator. That is q question
for the Electors themselves to decide.
and IL they find that one or more OF
their number is not qualified for his
seat, they have the right to expel him
aud hll the vacancy. II Is a question
whether Grover has not laid himself
liabl. to impeachment by this gross and
Infamous usurpation Of power.
In connection with this matter. u dis
patch received from Washington Is sug-
g~estive. 1t says: "The National Repab-
iiean to-day publishes a long special dis
patch from Salem. charging that Grover
secured his Senatorial election by the
lavish use Of money. furnished by two
Portland brokers. aud that he agreed To
give Cronin q certificate rs Presidential
Elector in consideration Of Cronin aud
other friends Of Nesmith agreeing not to
expose this alleged bribery, as they had
all publicly threatened to do. This
special dispatch is signed s."
This charge is u serious one. but in
all probability il is true. The man who
would sell the votes Of his State to q
party for any consideration whatever, is
capable Of buying his way into the
United States Senate. II this bribery
can be proven against him he will never
take his seat in that body. however.
and justice will finally b. vindicated in
the person OF ons Of the most contempt.

graced the nation.

SIGNIFICANT.

The Democrats Of the North and the
South are at loegsrheads, and the facts
developed in the caucus last evening
are remarkably significant. Fernando
Wool OF New York. accused the South
ern Democrats OF being weak kneed in
the pressing emergency nov upon the
country. lie said they were allowing
the time to ''slip by" and doing moth.
ing. What does he want them to do?
Ben Hill. in a seathing rejoindsr an
swersi this question. lie said that III.
teen years ago the Southern Democrats
bad not allowed time to slip by. They
had gone to war. AMI their Northern
friends instead OF coming to their aid.
had either fought against them, or staid
at home like sneaks as they were. Ben
Hill understands the situation. IL Is
this. Tilden's friends at tho North
have become desperate and are new
scsing on the South to another wal In
the hope that it may result in his inau'
guraiiou. But the South is awake this
this time. II will have none OF 1t. As
the caucus broke up in the utmost on
fusion it is very probable that n split
will soon occr between tho Democracy
Of the North and south.
