Joined the Indian, at which unex-
pected wittioism the General burst
into a fit of laughter, SO violent and
prolonged as threw him into a pro-
fuse perspiration, and greatly relieS-
ed his pains. In order to prove that
Mount de Chantal is not like the In
dian, we have only to refer to those
among its patrons who can bear tes-
timony to the solid and brilliant ed
ucation impaired by the. ladies in
charge. Mrs. Admiral Dalgrene, of
Washington, D, c., the Baroness Won
Overlook, herself a graduate of the
institution, G. P. A. Iiealy, the ar
tist, whose three eldest daughters
were educated there ereltsiuclS as
-E1aA Astaee Eevlager ones, untiletfte-
removal of the family to Europe, In
Philadelphia, Francis Drexel, Esq,
of the Banking Company; Gen. r. E.
Patterson, Gen. Abercrombie, of Long
Island, and William McGrath, Esq,
one of the Directors of the Union
Passenger Line, whose three dapght-
ers have been there for several years.
Until the times are easier, Mount
de Chantal will give the entire En-
glish and French course, with board,
washing, etc, for only 5000 the
scholastic year, while music on the
piano, taught in the style that usual
ly commands enormous prices in our
large cities, will be given for only
Sl2 quarter, and other accomplish
ments in the same proportion, In
addition to all this the fare is such
as to more than satisfy the most ox-
acting parent, The produce of the
extensive grounds attached to the
Academy supplies the table with
every variety oil fresh vegetable and
fruits according to the season, while
the dairy offers an abundance of milk
without any extra charge, for such
as cannot take tea or coffee. The
charming location Of Mount de Chan
tai, overlooking the beautiful Wheel
ing Valley, and its great facilities
for exercise in the open air, offer un-
wonted inducements to such parents
as realize that education obtained at
the expense of health, is of no avail.
A letter addressed to Sister Mary Ag-
mes Gubert, the Directress of Mount
de Chantal, near Wheeling, W. w,
will secure a catalogue or prospsetds
i.with much more ihiofmdtion than
can be compressed in brief notice
like this. A PARENT.

democratic papers in this vicini-
ty are publishing story about Gen.
Hayes, receiving s400 Of dead SOL
dier's money and sneakingly inti-
mating that he kept it, GalEpOlis
Journal
Democratic papers are publishing
the story of w, w. Harper, who was
Chaplain ofthe 18th w. V. Regiment,
and who is a Republican nor, that
there was a de8erter shot at Monocacy,
and that before he died he gave Mr..
Harper two watches and S40O, to
give to an old mother if he could find
her whereabouts, and if not, to keep
them himself. Hayes sent for the
Chaplain, asked him about what the
deserter gave him, took the s400, from
him and gave the watches back.
Democratic papers simply want
Gov. Hayes or his friends to give in
disputable proof that this money
,gdS turned over to the Government
for whom he claimed it. The Jour-
nal lies when it says Democratic pa
pers are showing sympathy for the
doserter, nor it can't show itup. AS
to what Col. Cadot recollccts about
it, that's as clear as mud. He re-
members that he was shot and that
he (Cadot,) was a member of the
Court-martial, and that he deserted
from the 23d Ohio Regiment, and APP
peared again as a bounty recruit,
from Columbus, was assigned to his
old Regiment, recognized as dcser-
ter, and shot; the watches were Civ
en- to this Chaplain Harper, and the
money to Hayes and he supposes the
money was paid over.
Now we don't want any "sUpposEs"
we want you to show loRen, ,odere, and
to Chom Hayes ever paid that money,
on evidence that is beyond a doubt.
Cadets recollection appears to have
failed him here. Come out with your
proofs, and we will knock under. Do
you hoar?-Bulleiia,

she said looking at MrssBonnycastle,
with fearful eyes. II think you'llbe
rewarded for it hereafter. You don't
believe the things they say, know.
Poor old Grannie, I'm SO glad she
didn't know. And ! ought to nerve
myself little, Imust save her from
disgrace anyhow. SHE was always
sweet and clean, only that dreadful
quilt of hers; and FlltgGt it off and
hide itbefore they see her It's a
duty to both'ofus, for l did my best
70 keep her tidy, only She begged to
wear that patch"
And Margaret, busy about the sol
emn figure ON the bed, amidst fast
falling tears, drewqifthe many patch
"a pettioQat. shaaas down phathO.
tioor'Nhen it was in her hands, and
sobbed aloud.
1--WE don't know how we'll feel
when people are gone" she said.-
GLOW angry I've been about this
Feel the Jumps in it, Mrs, Bonnycas-
tie. ! fear it hurt the poor dear
There's something hard in it like
stones. | can't guess what it is"
Suddenly she gave u little scream.
She had ripped awaya rough flannel
patch.
"Lookl lookm she cried; and Mrs.
Bonnycastlc looked and saw, stitched
against the original material quite
covered a moment before by the
patch, something that glittered
OTIS the pearl bracelet" cried
Margaret; ooh, what shall do?'
What Mrs. Bonnycastle did was TO
call Mrs. Cameron, and the three wo-
men together ripped up the poor
patched quilt, Init, carefully bast
ed and covered over, were the pilfer-
ings of years-the things that Mrs.
Coulter had lost-articles of Margar-
cts own Improperly long missing. The
petticoat was q perfect store house,
and it was plain that Grannie Mum
had, in her years Of childishncss, be-
come confirmed kleptomaniac-
stealing without the least expecta-
tion Of making any use Of what she
stole.
The discovery saved Margarots
character for honesty, of course, and
she lives with Mrs. Cameron as house
keeper to this day, No one thought
of blaming the old woman, who had
bsef Is lssaesk ie sun
young days And Margaret still
treasures small odd looking bundle,
of which no one could discover the
meaning, as a devotee would some
precious relic. She never shows it
to any one, and she often cries over
it. at is more like her, after all
than anything else" she would tell
you, were you in her confidence. at
is all that is left of poor old grannie's
quilt"

"My housekeepor is gone" said
Mrs. Cameron, "and l actually do not
know how to fill her place, The idi-
OF has married an old bachelor. He
was the baker around the corner,
and never guessed when she was
obliging about choosing all the past
ry herself, what was going on. Ilet
her have her little girl with her, too,
and / paid her high wages; but there's
no depending on widows. They are
always wild to marry again. 0,dear

keep her in her own room, and as
clean as on old wax doll. Now do
try Margaret She win suit you to

And the result of the conversation
was that Mrs. Cameron did see Mar
garot Mum, and finding her a nice,
tidy young woman, with an obliging
manner and an aptitude for house
keeping, engaged her at once in the
place of the recreant widow who had
betrayed her confidence by marrying

tel lust ut dinner-time. Seating him ielf
at the table, he gathered up tho bill OF
fare, and, running over 1t . few MN

Granger was manipulating his knife

him said to the waiter, Bring me Il

This order did not pass the Granger.
No sooner did he hear it than he said,
Here, my boy, you kin bring me one
of them. too" The waiter hustled out
of the room, and soon returned with a
pigs foot in batter. AS soon as it had
been placed upon the table, the gray
souscd his fork into it, and started on
his work of demolishing it. After tear
