"You were deceived. | know you

lady of rank did me the honor to prefer
me; and she it was who, learning of my
love for you, intercepted our letters,

notice of your marriage. Seven weeks
ago she died, confessing all her duplci-
ty, and that day left China to seek

She looked in his eyes. and bowed
her head slowly, her face crimsoning
even there, with death 80 near her.
A sharp voice at her side brought her
back to herself. She saw her husband
by the side of the rock, balancing him.
self in a frail boat, which it seemed
every dash of the waves would break in
twain.
One glance at his pale, set face show
ed Geraldine that he recognized her old
love. But Richmond gave him no word
of salution. His injured arm was
bleeding fast-his strength was ebbing;
his head fell on his breast, and but for
the frenzied hold of Geraldine, he would
have be swept away by the tide, which
now beat over the rock.
Archibald Vane's voice was cool,
calm, and distinct.

he put Geraldine beside him, and gave
her the oars.
You can steer" he said; "you will
be saved-you and he will save our
little Annie if it lies in mans power.
II not, Heavens will be done -
He leaned over and kissed the white
hand his wife stretched out toward him
in wild entreaty. ....
The boat shot away on the tide; the
words she uttered were all unheard by
Archibald Vane, as clasping his child
to his breast he dared the fury of the
waves
They found him mile farther down
the coast, in the early morning, a smile
on his white face, and little Annie lying
against his heart. They had died to-

G-raldne's boat reached the shore,
and both she and ThRne Richmond
were saved.
1t was weeks before she knew aught
passing around her, for the shock of
Anries death had been too much for
her.
When she remembered it all, perhaps
she was nearer to loving Archibald
Vane than she had ever been before.
Richmond went away, and was gone
two years. He owed that much to the
memory of the man who had saved his
life in preference to his own.
And when he came back, could the
world blame Thane and Geraldine if
they made each others lives happy?

THERE can be no doubt that the re-
cent disastrous defeat Of the Russian
forces Of Plevna was serious enough
p derange the whole plan Of the cam
paign and to retard any further ad-
vance for an indefinite period. The
plan, as now explained, was to bring
the whole Russian army on line par
allel to the Balkans and then drive
the enemy southward. The annihila-
ton of the centre necessarily separates
the two wings and leaves them exposed
to an attack on both sides, without the
possibility of cooperation. Consolida-
ton is now the first thing to be done,
and the victorious Turks, who have
hitherto done nothing but retire before
the Russian advance, are quite likely
to make a little forward movement
themselves BY way Of variety. It
is really the first great victory Of the
war, and it has been won because the
Russians made the mistake which cost
Napoleon III. his throne: they under
estimated the enemy. The usual
charges Of Turkish barbarity are re-
peated, but fair-minded people, who
win give the devil his due, should re-
member that all our news is from the
Russian army, and that we get but one
side of the story. At any rate, the
Turkish war Office officially denies that
there was any violation Of the rule Of
civilized warfare.

R,lsslA,s n,IIY pIIN


The recent severe defeat of the Rus
slams at PIeVna has been compared by
some journals to the serious diseomf-
ture Of the Federal forces at Bull Run
in the summer Of 1851. In some re-
spects there is an analogy between the
two battles. First, the Russians, like
the Federalists. underestimated the
fighting qualities of their enemies, and,
ike them suffered tremendous whip
ping in consequence. IF the likeness
continues, and the defeat of the Rus
slams 1T Plevna has the same effect
upon the war in Europe that thedefeat
Of the Northern troops had upon the
war in this country, and brings about
the same results, it will prove a great
blessing in disguise to the Russians.
Believing themselves invincible, and
seorningthe petty prowess Of the Turks,
the Russian officers attacked the strong
" intrenehed positions Of the enemy
with force vastly inferior to that of
their fortified enemy, and the result
was an overwhelming repulse with the
loss Of from 5000 to 10000 men. This
viii teach them to have more respect
for their opponents, and isaIready pro-
ducing a salntary effect Reinforce
ments have been hurried to the front
and the Cars army already outnum-
bers his enemy's, and too confident
attack Of the Turks has been repulsed
with considerable loss. So far the ad-
vantages have oil apparently been on
the side Of the Turks, but as it was in
the American war the superior power
Of the Northern country must, and
doubtless will, soon tell with crushing
effect upon thesmsller power. Russia
will whip in this war. and if the other
European powers don't interfere she
will give Turkey q severe punishment
before the matter ends.

FAST DRIVING m TOWN,

Persons who own fast horses are ac
customed, particularly at this season
ofthe year, tosend their horses out fol
exercise and practice on the track at
the Fair Ground, preliminary to the
approaching fair. This, 50 far, is all
well enough, and nobody has any OBJ
lection to it, and if the fast driving was
confined to the track nobody would
care but unfortunately the drivers
will not do this, and frequently come
racing into town as if they were rrot-
ting against. time. his is bad prac-
tice and attended with considerable
danger to persons on the streets-espe-
cially to little children. Parents can
not always keep their children tied to
their apron-strings, nor locked within
their doors, and even if they could,
there can be no good reason why they
should be forced to do 50 in order to
crafty these men in their desire to
show off the trotting qualities of their
horses before people who don't care a
picayune whether they can trot fast or
slow.
It is not to be supposed that these
men want to hurt the children, or that
they are careless or Indifferent in re-
gard to them, but they don't stop to
think whether their fast driving may
result in harm or not. They might
race through the town a hundred times
and no harm came from it, and yet an
accident Is liable to happen at any
moment. As it is, parents are "kept
On nettlesD all the time, if their chill
dren happen to be out of their sight,
lent they may get into the street and be
run over by some Of these fast teams.
There is no necessity for this state Of
things and it ought not to be permit
ted It is to be hoped, however, that
the occurrence of last week, by which
. calamity was barely prevented, viii
prove a sufficient warning to induce
the persons referred to and all others,
to let their horses 60 slowly through
the town. Should it not be so the cit
izens will be obliged to call upon the
town authorities to enforce the ordi-
nance in this respect, and to arrest and
punish every one who breaks it.

How HAYES ARM WAS SAVED BY
A REBEL SURGEoN.-At the battles
Of Antietam and South Mountain a
colonel was wounded-his arm fear
fully shattered-and he was borne
from the field by his brothers and a
private soldier. They carried him
across the country long and toilsome
distance, every step of which was tor
ture to the sufferer, to the house of a
Maryland Union farmer. Then came
the ubiquitous Yankee surgeon with
ilis knives stfftl t1tteIl u ttel "a s,
and made hasty preparations to ampu-
tate the ailing member. The farmer
vehemently protested, declaring that
the man would die if the arm was cut
off. The surgeon insisted that the pa
tient would die if the arm was not ta-
ken of, and the colonel's brothers CO.
incided with the surgeon. But the de-
termined old farmer despatched his son
on his heetest horse across the fields
to the other side Of the mountain after
his friend and neighbor, a country ply
sician, anh a rank rebel. When the
rustic Esculapius arrived there ensued
a long contention with the Yankee,
newer of bones over the sufferer, but
the result was that the arm was saved,
and after some weeks cf careful nurs-
ing the colonel galloped off to join his
regiment, a comparatively sound man.
He subsequently became Governor of
Ohio, and now fills the Presidential
chair.-Pha Bulletia.

AN INTERESTING HISTORICAL FACT.
After the argument upon the Florida
case before the late Electoral Com
mission in Washington, Judge Bradley
wrote out his decision in full. He
completed it about six o'clock in the
evening on the day before the judg-
ment of the Commission was to be an
nounced, and read it to Judge Clifford
and Judge Field, who were likewise
members of the Commission. 1t con-
tanned first, an argument, and secondly,
a conclusion. The argument was pre-
cisely the same as that which appears
in the public document; but Judge
Bradley's conclusion was that the yOt5
of the Tilden electors in Florida were
the only votes which ought to be count
ed as coming from that State.
This was the character Of the paper
when Judge Bradley finished it, and
when he Communicated it to his col
leagues. During the whale Of that
night Judge Bradley's house in WASH
ingtOn was surrounded by the carriages
of visitors who came to see him appa-
Fently about the decision of the Elec-
toral Commission, which, as We have
said was to be announced the next day.
These visitors including leading Repub-
licans as well as persons deeply inter
ested in the Texas Pacific railroad
scheme.
When the Commissionassembled the
lext morning, and when the Judgment
vas declared, Judge Bradley gave bis
7oice in favor of counting the votes of
he Hayes electors in Florida The
he did not deliver at the
ime but when it came to be printed |
iubsequently it was found to be pre-
'isely the same as the argument which
le had Originally drawn up, and on
which he had based his first conclusion
q favor ofthe Tilden electors.-[M 7.
