RUTH'S LEGACY.

When Rodney Craig came home from
the army with an empty sleeve, some
people wondered if Ruth Gerrish would
marry him. A man with one arm gone,
and that his right one, they argued, was
only part of man, and Ruth was a
girl who could have her choice among
the young men of her acquaintance !;
therefore-aad what conclusion these
persons arrived ut you know well
enough, am sure, for you have seen
these very persons. They live in every
neighborhood.
But those who knew Ruth best never
doubted what she would do for mo-
ment.
"Of course she'll marry him." they
said s.She wouldn't let the loss of an
arm keep her from doing as she prom
ised She loves him, and that settles
the question
When Craig told her that he would
give her back her promise, she came
and stood before him, and, looking
straight into his with her earnest eyes,
she said
"Do You love me, Rodney?"
"God knows l do, Ruth" he an
swered, aud then she put her hand in his
and made the reply:
Then never mention this matter
again. told you would be your wife,
God willing; and If we love each other

And mild leaves muf:ie the keen suns dart /,

Does the fang still fret thee of hope deferred?
What bids the lids of thy sleep depart!

And sweet the fruit on its tree that grows

No hounds note wakens the wildwood

of them ever dreamed of loving each
other. One day Aunt Martha limited
her plan to him, and then had a long
talk with Ruth, which hadn't the least
effect toward changing her mind.

That afternoon, when she and John

all about Rodney.

Washington Letter.
WASHINGTON, d. g., May II, IS.

WASHINGTON, d. g., May II, rs.
One of the finest paiting lately
executed in Washington is now
nearing completion under the
hands of Mr.. Andrews, Ohio's ia
vorite artist and familiar friend
of the Hayes family. 1t is full
length portrait Of Martha Wash
ington, and in point of detail and
surrounding of the figure. this pic
ture will supply a lack, that IN
questionably exists, sin ;e no such
representation of the Queen of the
first Republican Court of America
is in existence. The artist has
taken the features and coloring of
Gilbert Stuart's portrait, altering
the expression according to his
own taste. The picture shows Mrs.
Washington as we'll preserved
woman of SIS, arrayed in a ball
dress of white brocaded satin with
court train over quilted rose
colored silk petticoat. Point lace
ruching is in the V shaped neck
and elbow sleeves and a little
scarf of the same forms a cap.
The surroundings are in perfect
keeping with the lady's own time
gilded chair of the period, en-
bossed leather hangings, etc. Some
of the Vice Regents of the Mt. Yer
non Association have spoken of
purchasing the portrait for the
mansion at Mt. Vernon, and it has
also been suggested that it be
hung in the White House as a COM
panion TO Stuart's life-size George
Washington, which hangs in the

to government control and oper-
ated as a through continuous line.
The Senate advocated this meas
ure as one designed to secure the
only true Southern line between
the Pacific Ocean and tho lower
Mississippi and the Gulf OF Mexico.
He claimed that by the grant OF
$1S, 100000 provided for by this
bill, 800 miles more of the road
would be constructed than with
the S3s, 100000 asked for by the
Texas Pacific company. He fur
Their said that the Texas and Pa
cifc company, having failed to
build a single mile of road on the
Pacific coast, and not the amount
required by its charter on the cas-
tern end, had forfeited its land
grant and had clearly placed it in
the power of Congress to take such
action as may be deemed proper
to secure the speedy construction
of this road, and the Southern Pa
cific company proposes to extend
to ElPaso, without moneyed SUBJ
sidy. He believeved the time had
arrived to secure the construction
of the Southern trans-continental
line for the least money and for
the shortest possible time.

The possibility of trouble be-
tween between England and Rus
sia, and the recent rumors of Fe-
nian incursions, has stirred up the
militia in Canada, who have not
been cemented together or drawn
out since the Fenian raid some
years ago. The present crisis has
made the military authorities de-
eide upon concentrating the prin-
cipsl military corps of the Domin-
ion to have o grand review or mill
tary display. 1 ord Duferin, Sir
Selby Smythe and other military
authorities in Toronto, Ottawa and
Quebec have partially seconded the
proposition,

That gigantic fraud, the Louis
lana State Lottery, is accredited
with giving $4,000 annually to the
Charity Hospital. It is an infa-
nous lie when it sets up the claim.
The company does not pay one
cent Of the money. Every man
who makes winning in the swim
ding institution has to contribute
to this fund, as fifteen per cent is
deducted from every large win
ming for this purpose. Thus. if
you win 500 you get sS5, and the
the SIS goes to the Charity Hospi-
tai. Who couldn't be charitable
under such circumstances.

This is the way the Virginia cor
respondent of the N. o. City Item
puts it: "The talk here about the
Louisiana and Florida frauds is,
the less said the better. Hayes
snits very well. He has done
what Tilden conld not have done
Self government in Louisiana and
South Carolina is glory enough
for an administration. Of course
Tilden was elected, every one
knows that, but the Democrats al.
lowed an Electoral Commission to
make Hayes President, and now
let us stand by it. The fact that
the ultra Radicals are against him
is enough to make us let him alone.
Besides, there is no necessity. for
the South to trouble itself, when
everything is going on smooth,
about the balderash of few dis.
appointed Northern politicians
who did not have the pluck to say
anything till Hayes was hrnay
seated"

1t should be borne in mind that
every farmer who will take the

contagious than the desire to excel
in neatnsss and ornament.

of Turkey has been growing for
some day, and where evidences of
deep popular discomfort are album
dant. 1t is now understood there
that without consulting Turkey or
the other powers, England and
Russia have agreed to divide Ash
attic Turkey between them. It is
feared an outbreak will occur, and
and Gen. Todleben will take add
vantage of it. Everything is still
in doubt and uncertainty.

ing of all these witnesses will also
be presented to the committee at
its first business meeting, and the
only way this request can be decid-
ed will be for the committee to
declare that it is not satisfied with
the evidence " hich will be submit
ted to show that frauds existed or
was attempted. The Republicans
appear to be more anxious to open
this investigation than the Demo-
Gratis, for the reason, likely, that
it is expected to consume time and
cause delay, which the Potter res
olution avoids.

that there is to be hegira of Rad

States during the next campaign,
and they are all fondly calculating

They will be disappointed. The
Democracy of the South don't pro-
pose to play into their hands in
any such manner, or to furnish
them the coveted fuel to fire the
Northern heart.

INSIGNIFICANT QUIBBLING.

The time was in this fair land OF
ours when every thing looked dark
and gloomy, and not more SO from
any other than from an educational
point of view. But things are ma
terially changed lately, and now
the cloud with a silver lining is
plainly in view. 1t is no longer a
myth dimly outlined in the future,
but real, a living, joyous reality.
We are a free and prospecting
people, the croakings and lamenta-
tons of toe whole tribe of SWIVEL
lers to the contrary notwithstand-
ing. The officers duly chosen by
the people preside over us, and the
fact of Presidential fraud cuts
but a small figure in the case, so
far as Louisiana is concerned. 1t
does not do away with the fact that
Louisianians have at last as proud
q boast of freedom as the citizens
of any one of the commonwealth
of this broad land. Her indus
tries fairly bound under the new
found impetus, and already is the
merchant catching the welcomed
indications. The veriest croaker
in our State can but see it, if he
will only open his eyes. Schools
are set up right under the noses OF
people, who few years ago never
dreamed of such a thing, and they
are sustained at cost SO slight to
the patron as to be scarcely rer-
ceptible. About ali that they are
called on to do is to select persons
for teachers that are morally and
Intellectually qualified to teach the
children. Now, this would seem
to one at first blush to be a matter
very easily settled. But it is not;
and this fact is what calls out the
present article. Instead of gladly
recognizing and embracing the I'M
precedeDted advantages offered, we
find men with petty prejudices so
ground into them that they serve
as. apt illustrations Of the man who
ground his nose off to spite his
face. One or two things are quite
certain, and they are that every
body cannot teach, even if they
were qualified, nor is every one
qualified as the law directs.
Now, it does seem that common
sense and desire to do right, as
well as the duty to recognize the
will of the majority, should be the
guidance of all good citizens. All
cannot be suited. The School Board
is composed of good men, who dc
the very best they can, and it is
senseless to be eternally finding
fault with them. If less quiobline
is done among school patrons and
more charity exercised by them, il
will be an easy matter to get good
and competent teachers in the very
near future.

The main feature of the Bill re-
ported in the Senate by Mr.. Ed
munds on the subject Of electoral
votes for Presidents and Vice Pres
idents, is provision that no cleo
toral vote from any State from
which but one return has been re-
ceived shall be rejected, except by
the affirmative vote of both houses
of Congress, and that in case more
than one return is received from
any State, the votes only shall be
counted of those electors whose
title shall be supported by the de-
cision of the lawful tribunal o.

A certain correspondent of the
Associated Press visited several of
the principle towns on the Cana
dian border, and finds everywhere.
the most intense excitement pre-
vailing. The Dominion militia are
supplied with arms and alnmuni-
ton, and are ready at an hours
notice to concentrate force to re
pei an invasion on the Canadian
border. Soldiers claim that no
doubts exist that an invasion il
imminent: that Irish Nationalist
in large numbers, and with the
greatest secrecy possible, are max
ing their way into the interior of
Canada, with orders to concentrate
at different points for onslaughts
on Montreal, Quebec, Ottawa and
other prominent Canadian towns.
Another theory advanced is that
the Fenian demonstration is merely
ruse originated and conducted
by Russian agents in this country
to engross the attention of the
Dominion Government to her
home interests and bring recruit
ing for the English service in the
Dominion to stop. Another the
ory advanced is that the demon
stration has its inception in the
provinces. To ascertain the exact
movement is impossible. All kinds
of rumors are rife. 1t is currently
reported that arms and ammuni-
ton have for weeks past been
brought into the provinces, where
they are now concealed.
