Mr.. Mines that the President Secretary Sher-

before the fact in Louisiana. The crime has
been discussed again and the necessity Of the
New York Senator's making some expana-
tion has been very freely commented upon.
IT is known that he continues to take advice
as to what course he shall pursue, One Sen
ator, whose name cannot he used, replied
thus: II should advise you by all means to
make a personal explanation rs to the Sen
ators who were referred to in the Interview
Beyond that, do not think you can 90. For
the rest, you are reported to have submitted

often by Senators to permit a denial of the

The Feeling In India Not SO Favorable q
England Might Desire.

LONDON, April 2S.-Adviccs from India
state that the tone Of the native feeling is not
as healthy as the British government would
desire, an evil which is to be charged to the
seditous writings of the vernacular press.
Assertions constantly reiterated regarding
England's decrepitude, coupled with as Oft
repeated eulogia of the resources and power of
Russia, have tended to excite in the native
mind an expectation OF change not conducive
to good government.

Not Modest Enough.

The poets are primarily responsible
for the delusion that flowers are pre-
eminently modest. They perpetually
tell US of the modest lily and the timid,
bashfui violet, and have firmly con-
WINGED the public that with the possible
exception of the peony, which in New
England is considered TO wear an in
Gslicately healthy look, such thing as
an immodest flower does not exist A
very little unprejudiced Obs ryation will
show that this Is gross delusion
Flowers, rs rule, have no sense Of
modesty whatever. The lily arrays H.

control, TO reside very near the surface

Teasing.


A budding love affair il perhaps the
most welcome of all for these sorry
hunters Of poor game; and in nothing do
they work more mischief. Many q
pleasant possibility has been nipped in
the beginning by untimely teasing, and
many girls potential happiness has
been destroyed because some coarse
minded, pitiless joker must have his lit
tie fun, and tease the young fellow pub
licly before he has quite made up his
mind. After, the thing il not 80 bad.
He would be but q peor.spirited creature
to be laughed out Of his intention, but
while the thing Is only sprouting, not
yet fully growing, teasing is fatal and
for this cause all the better fun. Sport
to the one, but not nnfrequently death
to the other, and the wanton destruction
of infinite joy--all for the silly sake of
teasing two young people who have let
the world read between the lines, and
show the joker and the teaser that "elec-
tive affinity" was no idle phrase 50 far as
they were concerned.
Teasing goes on at home to often q
lamentable extent, and more than one
temper has been permanently soured ON
the process. The parents tease the chill.
dren, and the children tease each other,
till the passionate are made furious, tho
meek fearful, the humble craven, the
insensitive callous, and the quiet morose.
II one child has a certain humanity habit
consequent, perhaps. on q physical
defect-as the peering of short sight, or
the limp Of lameneas, IL 1t 10 absent or
dreamy or clumsy, those who are given
to the bad habit of teasing never let 1t
alone. No eallew eygnet was ever more
cruelty pecked at by the full-aedged
ducks than is the poor ugly duckling of
the nursery and unless that cruel play
is stopped by the authorities, the mis-.
chief OF lie Is wrought Nothing, in
deed, In house, demands more careful
overlooking and more vigorous and judi
eious suppressing than this habit of
teasing iDdulged in by the members of
family, one with the other; for the sport
of the one is here again emphaticslly

and, that he might not die thinking him.
self unforgiven, sent note to the hotel
to which he had been carried, but the
messenger reached there only in time to
hear that the unhappy Fred Acton had
breathed his last.
- X
Guy had supposed that Nellie and
Fred were long since married; but hardly
had he set foot in London when he was
recognized and accosted by one Of hisold
friends, who, among the gossip he had to
relate concerning Guys old circle Of
acquaintance, mentioned the fact of
Fred Acton's death, and also said that
Miss Pomeroy was as beautiful as ever,
but unmarried. At this Guys heart
throbbed wildly, and his brain almost
reeled with the idea that perhaps his
own rashness had dashed the cup of
happiness from his lips. Could there
have been treachery in Fred Actions
conduct, and had he wronged Nellie all
these weary years?
Wildly he asked himself these ques-
tions while on the way to his hotel; and
by the time he had arrived there be had
resolved that he would at least zee Mel,
lie and have an explanation with her.
Once more he turned his steps toward
the we'll known house Wit he had spent
the happiest hours of his life; once more
he was ushered into the familiar room
where even the pictures ON the walls
seemed to smile on him In friendly recog-
milton. Bronzed BY travel, tie old
family servant failed to remember him,
so he gave no name, merely requesting
TO see Miss Pomeroy.
Nellie soon appeared but hardly had
she crossed the threshold when the eyes
Of love recognized him, and with wild
scream of Guy, dear Guyi" she was
folded to hisheart.
Long explanations followed. Nellie
told of the loss of her locket, on the day
of Guys last visit, and hew she had re.
GREETED it, being his gift She also told
of the dying confession OF Fred Acton,
and bis restoration of her locket, which
she showed. him, worn ON blue ribbon
shout her neck.
Guy, penitent, but loving, was fully
forgiven by his deeply wronged Nellie,
who, in the joy of such q reunion, had
ne heart to blame him.
Soon after there was a grand wedding
in the stately mansion; and although
the brides ornaments were milk>white
pearls, there hung suspended from
the central cluster of her necklace
tiny locket, bearing on it blue forget
me-not,
