republican, that the election in Baton
Rouge was fair and peaceable.
M. A. BondreauX, republican supervisor
of Assumption parish, acknowledged The
receipt of the notorious d. J. M. A.. Je-
welt circular. This circular was in the
form of instructions to the supervisors to
return certain Republican majorities with
out fail, and promised ample and generous
reward in case of compliance. He com,
piled his returns according to law. Der
nan, the republican candidate for parish
Judge, before Re had filed the consolidated
statements of the votes, called him aside
and asked him to make away with the IL
democratic majority recorded ag inst him.
Wi ness refused. M. r.. Ledet, supervisor
Of La Fourche, the adjoining parish, told
him thai it made no difference whether
his parish voted for Nichols or Packard;
that after the election he would fix it up
for Packard. Ledet kept his word.
D. A. Ward, supervisor of Grant parish,
testified that his residence was in New
Orleans and his politics republican: he had
received the Jewett circular; he produced
it, and pronounced Jewett S signature
genuine; he left Grant parish on October
81, and did not return until after the cleo
ton; a drunken man named Thompson
threatened him; he had heard of no dis
turbance or murder in the parish for SIX
months; the Colfax tragedy of 1873 left a
bitter feeling; he registered white men
with shot-guns and negroes with two re-
volvers hanging in their belts; there was
no government in the parish; both races
went armed, but no disturbance followed;
he received his instructions from JeWett
and Kellogg not to return to the parish to
hold an election; he had appointed com
missioners of election previous to the de-
parture from both sides; he told Kelloggo on
October 81, that the parish registration
showed 81 democratic majority, and would
have elected a democrat to the legislature.
Witness repeated urged that he should be
allowed to hold an election. Kellogg told
him that he had told Major Burke (demo-
crat) that Registrar Ward had been sent
back to Grant parish. One day when Burke
called on Kellogg, Ward was with him.
Kellogg said, LAS | have given my word
to Major Burke that you are now in Grant
parish, it will never do for him to find you
in here" Before Burke entered the room
by one door he (Ward) left by another.
Witness thought the election in Grant
parish was fair and legal. This was en-
tirely owing to the action Of the democra-
tic committee in New Orleans, and not to
Kellogg.

ON THE BRINK.

have known Arthur Grave!y we'll and
intimately. A part Of this story M to
my knowledge through my own observa-
ton, and part he told me himself.
Arthur came of an old, well-defned and
respectable stock, with just enough aristo-
cratic pride, inherited from his progeni-
tors, to give him refinement and self-reli-
ance. At an early age he was left an Or
phan, and received most of his education
under the care of an uncle. When he was
one and twenty he was admitted to the en-
ploy of a banker named Vanderlain, and
very soon took a position of trust and res
sponsibility in the house. A year later he
took Fanny Summerton for his wife one
of the fairest ard sweetest of earthly treas
ures. He had loved her long and truly,
and her love in return had been single and
devoted. Thus was life opening for Ar
thur Gravely with bright and happy prom
Use, He had friends whichever way he
turned his business prospects were of the
verv best, and his home was an earthly
paradise.
One enemy, and only one enemy. alone.
at this time, stood in Arthur's path. His
wife did not see it then. She loved him
SO fondly and trustingly that she could
not see a fault.
a few of Arthur's friends feared danger
and one of them, more bold than the rest,
spoke to him warningly, but kindly; but
he turned away from the warning with a
sneer of derision.
The months and years went On-from
twenty-five to tWenty-eight.
Six years of married life-Six years OF
blessing so far as the outer things of life
can do blessing. In the bank Arthur had
assumed a position very near the head,
AND his salary Was nun ticenls
From early youth Arthur Gfavely had
found the wine cup among the symbols of
aife's social phase. He had kept wine in
his own house, he had used it upon his
sideboard and upon his table and he had
partaken freely abroad. La the earlier
years it was wine, and only wine of the
best and the purest. Later, stronger
liquors were required to keep up the tone.
Al the age of eight and twenty there had
come an undue flush upon Arthur'S cheek
and there were blotches in the eye WHICH
ought not to have been there. He now
took brandy before breakfast, and through
the .ay he was forced to supply fuel to fire

helplessly intoxicated. He was confident
in his own strength.

After dinner Arthur went out to carry a
budget to a neighbor, and when left alone,
Fanny sat down and cried again for joy.
And so Mr.. Vanderlain found her. He
had stopped in passing to go on an errand.
"Mrs. Gravely What has happened
What is wrong !"
"Wrong ?" she repeated, looking up.
30, sir, it Is for joy I am crying!"
And then she told him the source of the
new happiness that had opened to her.
Mr.. Vanderlain listened, and after a
deal Of thought he slowly said, with his
hand upon Fanny's fair head
Dear child, you may rejoice without
fear, Ii Arthur has pledged his honor to
this new life, be sure he will keep the
faith /"
Most of the afternoon Arthur spent at
the bank !; and as he sat at the table in
the private Office waiting for the banker,
a telling of sadness and regret came upon
him. 1t would be hard to leave the old
place, and it might be q long, long time
before he could find another so pleasant.
1t was toward evening when Mr.. Van
derlain came in, looking flush and self sat
isfied.
II have kept you waiting, Arthur, but
important change in my programmed"
"Ah! Then you are not going away ~
'Yes-I shall so to Europe but [ Shall
not give up my banking business have
found a new man-one safe, reliable and
comprehensive, I think, will take care
of my business when l am absent"
"Mr. Vanderlain," cried the young man
frankly, II am glad of this, for I know l
shall be able to persuade you to let me
keep my place in your employ"
The banker shook his head.
Arthur trembled, and started to speak.
Tut, tut-not your present place, Ar
thur. II you will take charge OF my busi-
ness, [ will leaye it in your hands, know
ing that both you audit will prosper. What
say you?'
"NIr. Vanderlain.."
"Ah, my boy! [ have seen your wife. 1
found her crying for JOY. And when she
told me whence her joy came, knew there
was joy fo- me also. To the new man [
give my entire confidence, in his care [
fear not to trust my name and my honor"
1t was Arthur Gravely's turn now to
weep; and he could no more help it than
he could have helped the great flood of
peace and blessedneSs that flowed in upon
his heart.
"My dear boy,'7 said the banker after
wards, 81 did not speak to you in other
times as perhaps [ ought. 1 knew how
you treated others who did speak, how
ever, before I went away, I determined
to see a friend, and, if possible, to
to get you a good place. But it's all done
now. God bless and keep YOU"
And now, looking back, Arthur Grave
ly sees how near upon the fearful brink he
stood. From his position of wealth and
honor and love he can see the dark pit
from which he escaped, and he sees hun
dreds sinking into it yearly. He helps the
fallen mes when he can, and finds unfail-
ing satisfaction in the work.

| Heaven. as Arthur's kiss came, sweet and
pure to her lips.
AS they entered the dining-room, Ar
thur saw the decanter Of wine near his
plate.
.'Take it away, Fanny" he said smiling.
eff you want il hereafter for a medicine,
keep it. For myself [ shall not want it,"
Not want it-Arthur ?"
II have done with it forever !"
He spoke solemnly, with a manliness that
I was strong and reliant.
And the wife saw whence had come the
| great warmth in her heart, saw it in the
| pure cheek, in the clear eye, as she had
| caught it in the pure breath.
"Arthur-my husband" she fondly
whispered, as though hardly daring to
trust her own Senses, lis it trueP-do you
mean-forever?"
"While L live, darling, God giving me-
strength and reason"
Fanny was upon the opposite side of the
table: She tried to speak, but her voice
failed her. She turned white-then she
pressed her hand for an instant upon her
heart-and then, as the crimson flood once
i more bounded on its course, she covered
her face and sank down, weeping like a
child.
Arthur was by her side in a moment.
ssFanny my wife what is 1t ?"
She looked up and caught his startled
| gazs through her tears. With a quick
movement she threw her arms around his
neck, and pIlowed her head upon his bo-
SOM
cob, Arthur bless you! I could die
for joy if l did not feel that [ could have
more happiness in living now for you p
Here is a new revelation. Arthur
| Gravely now learned how his sweet wife
had sIf fereC without daring to complain
how the worm had gnawed at her heart I!
saw it AL the more clearly because he
saw it in this present time her surprising
joy and ecstacy.
Not many words were spoken. This
was not the time for such q heart moving
theme. And now, as they eat the meal,
| Arthur told of his trip to the distant city.
