An Heiress's Caprice.

The daughter Of country practi-
toner, in little village in Scotland,
awoke one morning to find herself a
great heiress. Her uncle had died,
leaving an estate and $1,500,000 to
her. Miss Mcpherson Grant was
bright, clever, handsome and about
twenty-one years Of age. She took
possession of her property and lived
in great style, keeping a large stud OF
horses, and driving tandem herself
all over the country. Some fifteen
years ago young lady paid her q
visit. 1t ended in this young lady,
Miss Temple, leaving her father and
mother, and living with Miss Grant
for better or for worse, until death
them should part; in fact, they form
ed such an attachment that they en-
tered into an engagement that Meth
er should marry, and that they should
pass their lives together Miss
Grant then and there refused a good
offer Of marriage and rejected all 9TH
er suitors. The conditions were that
Miss Grant was 20 leave her estates
and everything to Miss Temple, if
Miss Temple, on her part never left
her and never married. A will was
made by Miss Grant, under which
her property was to pass to the Tenn
pies. Two years ago Miss Temple
married, and last Christmas Miss
Grant died. The will was revoked.
She never f0rgave the detection, she
never made another will, and the es-
tate goes to an obscure country doc
tor in Aberdeenshire, who hardly
knew he was related to Miss Grant,
and never saw her. Other relatives,
poor tradespeople, come in for a
share.

The Strike.

The strike still continues in the
coal regions of Pennsylvania. Four
companies Of U. S. troops arrived at
Wilkesbawe, Luzerne county, Pa, on
Monday. The miners of the Della
ware, Lackawana d. Western Compa-
ny show no signs of returning to
work and threatening letters contin-
tie to be addressed to mechanics re-
garded as being in favor of going to
work in the car shops.

T The war news from the con-
tending armies in the East is scanty.
No apparent change in their relative
positions has taken place. The Rus
SLAMS are strengthening their forces
on the south of the Balkans, and are
reported to have defeated Suleman
Pasha, who retreatcd on Adrianople
On the other hand, the Turks claim
victories at Shumla and Plevona, north
OF the Balkans; and discarding the
numerous rumors which are daily set
aAoat the conclusion appears to be that
each army is concentrating its forces
for some decisive experimentation
and where we can best say when the
fight is over. At the present time spec
ulation is absurd, and half the reports
which are circulated are deliberately
manufactured lies.

looming in the distance for the British
Government in India. The country is
again threatened with famine. Rain
has fallen short, and the crops are al
most a failure. So that in the words
of Lord Salisbury, a terrible famine
is imminent, followed by severe epidem-
les. 1t seems difficult to cope with the
starvation and distress which are
about soon to ensue; and at this juno
ture, too, such social calamity may
prove the way for an increase of polit-
ical trouble.

The Southern States are practising

THE Southern States are practising
economy in all their affairs, and cut
ting off every form of excessive ex-
penditure, without regard to the
standing or influence of the beneficial
ries. The hard lessons they learned
during the civil war are beginning to
tell advantageously upon a people
who were previously accustomed to
take the world easy, and to regard
labor as degrading. The changes al
ready effected in South Carolina and
Louisiana are marvellous, when COM
pared with the reckless extravaganza
only six months ago; and the result
of this transformation is visible to ev-
cry eye in the increased credit of
both States. Under the new Consti-
tuition of Georgia, which will undoubt-
edly be approved by the popular vote,
the salary of the Governor is reduced
from four thousand to three thousand
dollars year. The best men in the
State will be glad to serve for this
pay. Because they regard the honor
of the position as far above its emol-
nments. The reformers in Georgia
wisely commenced at the top, with
the highest officers first, and will
gradually descend to the lower scale,
as has been discreetly done in other
Southern States, which will soon grow
rich by their economies.

THE STRIKE ENDED.

The condition of the United States
to-day is in pleasing contrast with the
aspect of things presented a week ago.
AT that time the country was in the
throes of an instruction which threat
ened the most disastrous results. A
railway strike on the Baltimore and
Ohio line had extended to almost every
railway company in the land, had
drawn within its influence many other
industrial pursuits, and had degener-
ated into lawless violence aud wanton
riot. As one Of the immediate conse-
quences of this popular uprising, the
railway traffic of the country was sus-
pended, and general business disturb
ed; and following close upon this,
though not necessarily resulting from
it,much valuable property was destroy
ed, and widespread suffering was en-
dured. 1t was necessary to call into
action the military forces of several
States. In the collisions which ensued
many lives were sacrificed; and SO vi
olent were the passions aroused, and
so sanguinary the deeds perpetrated,
that not only the place, but even the
property of the whole country seemed
to be endangered.
The scene is row happily changed.
In most places law and order, peace
and quietness, have been restored; and
and although it may be that there is
still rumbling of discomfort, and still
the smouldering ofangry passions, it
is yet safe to affirm that the fury of the
storm is spent, and that social economy
is returning very much to its abnormal
state. All the main lines of railway
have resumed theirregular traffic; and,
save in the coal regions Of Pennsyl-
vania, the other industrial and manu-
featuring interests are settling down
to their wonted order.
1t is important to note the terms on
which this change has been brought
about. In few, if in any, cases has the
object primarily aimed at been attain
ed. The riots have been quelled by the
exercise of authority, or by the adop-
ton Of conciliatory measures. Almost
with one consent the railway compa-
Eies have refused to submit to the
dictation Of the mob, and have either
left the question of wages in abey
ance, OF have fallen back upon the
arrangements in force prior to the last
proposed reduction. With these con-
ditions the majority of the strikers
have found it advantageous for the time
being to comply; and thus, after all the
unspeakable anguish endured, the
workingmen have no certainty of bet
ter wages, and the trade ofthe country
is not improved. This cannot be re-
garded as satisfactory any by either TO
the parties to the dispute; andif other
evidence were wanted, in addition to all
the arguments which past experience
furnishes, to prove the futility, the
folly, the iniquity of strikers, it may
be found in the events of the last week.

G@There are three millions of
working men in the United States,
who are out of employment. De
pendent upon these three millions of
men are five millions of women and
children. The tendency for more than
ten years has been to crowd the towns

districts. Whenever this vast multi

fering and hard times will cease

EUROPEAN WHEAT MARKET

There IL Little Panic or corner I'm

VIII Not DO HAIR that Was Expect
ed.
LONDON, October 2.--The Mark Lane
Express weekly review ofithe British
corn trade, says the weather during
the past week was very fine. Appear
ances favor an early and severe win
ter. Cold generally over Europe. A
fortnight, at most, free from rain, has
enabled good progress with the harvest
In the north. The event Of the week
has been large shipments Of wheat
from the Atlantic ports. The imme-
diate effect has been suddenly a check
to trade, buyers holding for the mo.
ment. The prospects of trade is open
to question. India and Egypt will not
do half that was expected. AS winter
comes on the supplies from Russia
will be cut of and we have nothing to
look for except from the Atlantic
ports. The consumption OF the coun-
try depends mainly on these wheats.
II Is hard to believe that the autumn
shipments can be more than we need
at the moment. When this little panic
is on the liberal shipment of one or
two weeks is imagined to be more than
the trade can stand. 1t may be well
to suggest that those shipments are
not unprecedented, and to recall the
fact that III August 1S74-75 they were
at the rate ofl5O, 900 quarters per week,
surely this year, when we are thrown
almost entirely on this source Of sup.
ply for the winter, the trade should
not be shaken by shipments no larger
than In former years, when our wants
were less and sources Of supply were
open which, are now closed.
