with intentness, and their own guide had
one which Otto declared afterward greWa
mile while he was looking at it. This
was so very astonishing he made up his
mind to whisper in his very lowest whis-
per and ask the meaning of it.
please tell me about it, please do, .
he said SO softly he was afraid he only
thought it.
But to those ear-folks his whisper was
a shout Down went the trumpets, and
all the little fellows came tip-toeing to-
ward the corner where the children were,
turning their heads in every direction,
and listening rather than looking for
them.
/ Naughty boy" said their guide,
have heard for many day. A little girl
forgave her brother for shutting the door
hard on her poor doll to make two little
dolls of her, ndshe was saying the sweet
est words to him, although her heart was
broken, and he was growing sorry and
good, and it was so beautiful.
Otto began to say he was sorry, but
the minute he uttered sound the host
was upon him.
Who is this that disturbs us with his
mortal voice 2" asked the biggest cared
one, whom all the others obeyed.
81 didn't pean to, . stammered Otto.
s'We can't have any noise here. Our
business is to listen, = said the chief.
"Can't you read?"
And then the children noticed for the
first time great letters on the gate, and
on the woolly turf, and on the backs Of
the sheep, IN. H." which must mean
"no noise"
Their captor then explained that these
were the children whose dreadful noises
had given them all so much pain-that
he had brought them to be punished
and made over, as he had been ordered
to do. # El8i
Let all business be suspended until
this case is settled" the chief cried with
loud voice. AS business with them
meant keeping quiet, they all proceeded
to make a noise. ''Louder," he called
out; "louder, louder" until'no noise on
earth was ever equal to it. The poor
children were stunned and terrified. They
clapped their hands to their ears, but
could not shut out the dreadful noise.
Their heads began to swim, and they fell
in a swoon on the soft earth. This was
their punishment. Just what they had
done was done to them. But now all
sound ceased, and the elves clustered
about the prostrate children and ten
derby ministered to them. They
were bathed with fairy lotion, and
soon they were in a gentle sleep. Then
the fairies put into their young hearts
love for all sweet sounds, and while
they were dreaming their pleasant les
son they bore them swiftly home to their
own little beds, where they awoke the
next morning very different little souls
from the Otto and Greta Of the previous
day. And before the fairies left the cot
tage they opened the ears of the old
grandmother to hear the pleasant tones
OF her children's voices, which never af-
terward had harsh note in them. Otto
and Greta grew up to love music and to
make it, and in their hearts it was all
dedicated to the fairies who put them in

After returning thanks for The ovation.
Governor Hampton said he interpreted the

presented good government, home rule and
reform. Tho people OF South Carolina are
in earnest We have tried to compromise in
vain, and 80 last fall We planted our feet firm
" on the Copstitution and began to battle
for our rights. We remember that ours was
one of the original thirteen States and strong

struggle, declaring by the Almighty God they
would sacrifice everything to win. ECheers,
and . voice "and you did wiD."I Yes. my
friend. we did win. You cannot imagine
what those people had to bear TO win their
constitutional victory. But they won, and il
is fact that fully 10000 oolored men CO.
operated with them, and now thousands and
tens Of thousands of colored men are paying
taxes to my government. [Cheers And
now all We ask, and all I am going to Wash

Carolina. the only place in the State where
authority is not respected send the soldiers
to their barracks where they belong, and

IMPERTINENCE.

The New York Tribune says: eff the i'm
patient Southern Democrats who are tuning
about Washington because President Hayes
has resolved not to make snap judgment in
the Southern cases do not bear themselves
with greater moderation. they will go far
toward impairing the good impression which
their patriotic bearing during the electoral
controversy made upon the country" Per-
haps the sooner the New York Tribune and
other journals who talk in that lordly style
towards the Southern Democrats get down off
their magnificent stills and recognize that the
Southern Democrats are not their vassals but
their peers, the better for the general har>
mony. "The country" contains million of
white msjority, and ESQ, 900 of oil against
Hayes, and i. will not be offended if the
"Southern Democrats" have the audacity not
to please the New York Tribune by their be-
havior.-Bahin,ore Sun.
