might have found that it wasn't so easy to
range the young people on his side, if he had
made a long continued effort We enjoyed
a romance under our eyes, but we bad no
sort of notion of his taking our Aunt Helen
away.
We were Just coming out from tea, and
were patronizing the sunset a little, which
was uncommOnly fine, and thought | had
never seen Aunt Helen looking like such
beauty, with that rich light OVERLAPPING her
like a rosy bloom, when John came hasten
ing up.
81 iust want you all to step aside the barn
door with me, if you please, ma am" said
he. And we went after him to be greeted
by the sweet smell of the new mown hay,
and to be gilded by the one great broad sun
beam swimming full of a glory of notes
from door to door. do you see that?' said
John. 1t was flock of the hens and chick
ems on their customary roosts. And now
do you see that?'' said he; and he turned
about and showed us, Oh the top rail of the
pony's manger, the big black Cochin also
gone to roost, but separately-and his wife
beside him? No, but little Mrs. Bantam!

deserted by their mother.

TWEED AND SWEENY.
New York Gossip As to the Probable
Proceedings Against Them.
New York World ]

1t is definitely stated by parties in interest
that negotiations are pending for the release
OF VIM. NJ. Tweed from Jail on the same
conditions as those exacted in the case of
Ebert A. Woodward, viz; the surrender of
his property to satisfy as many of the claims
against him as possible, and his appearance
as a witness when required, against other
members of the ring. Tweed's evidence is
needed more especially in the suits against
Sweeny, and in this connection it is stated
that the agreement of the attorney general
guaranteeing Sweeny immunity from arrest
during a certain period will prove of no
avail. The agreement does not affect the
courts, and will not it is said, prevent court
officers from. executing their processes in
the Syeeny case. A gentleman, well-in-
formed in these matters, is authority for the
statement that Sweeny will not be allowed
to leave this city until the suits against him
are settled whether he testifes in other cases
or not. 1t is understood that since his re-
turn his movements have been closely
watched by detectives, and that any attempt
on his part TO leave the country would be
followed by immediate arrest. A few days
ago he went to see his sister, Mrs. Herring
on One Hundred and Thirteenth street, and
drove up Second avenue to escape notice,
but his carriage was kept in sight at every
block by the occupant of another vehicle
which was driven up Third avenue at the
same time.
Mr.. Tweeds son and brother, Richard NJ
Tweed are busily engaged with their coun-
sci in perfecting arrangements to secure the
prisoners release. If certain property of
Tweed's transferred by him to other pal ties
can be recovered, it is probable that he will
step forth from Ludlow street jail a free
man before many weeks. 1t is reported that
Ebert A. Woodward came down from Con-
necticut on Monday and called on Sweeny
at his sisters house on Thirty-fourth street,
remaining closeted there with him and
Tweed's counsel for three hours.
In the evening Mr.. Woodward re-
turned to his home in Connecticut
No communication has taken place be-
between Tweed and Sweeny since the return
of the latter. Messrs. VIM. A Beach and
John McKeon, counsel for Peter b. Sweeny
and Wheeler H Peckham. one of the coun-
sci for the people in the $4,000, 900 Sweeny
suit, were before Judge Westbrook yester-
day, when informal discussion took
place as to when the case would be set down
for trial. Mr.. Beach referred to his engage
ment in the Emma mine case, and the diff
Guilty of adjourning that trial, in view of
the fact of the great number of witnesses
who had been brought here at great incon-
venience and expense who were ready to
give their evidence in the case. 1t was
finally arranged that counsel should come
again before Judge Westbrook tomorrow
morning, when the time for the trial of the
Sweeny suit will be definitely settled.
