The following story is going the
rounds: "They were in the parlor to.
gether. The light had gone out, and
they stood at the window in the radi-
ance Of the moon. He had his arm
about her, and was looking .dreamily
at the queen Of night. Softly he spoke:
Darling, I am thinking how happy we
shall be in our home together when we
are married. Itshall be a pretty home,
and you shall be ;ts dear little mistress.
We will have a little parlor and lit
tie dining.room and a little kitchen
for you to manage. We shall be there
all to ourselves. and we shall be so
happy, my darling oh, Henry, she
despondingly uttered, i thought we
were going to board" There were
tears in her eyes for him to kiss away,
but he let her remove them with what
facilities she could command.

Tilden is fiercely denounced for
making private exertion to uuearth
the frauds by which he was cheated
out Of the presidency. But certainly,
nothing could be more natural or more
proper than for him, the principal SUI

lected President of the United States,
but was prevented from taking his
seat by the action of few scouudrels

To Girls.

Never marry o man who has only
his love for you to recommend him.
Its very fascinating, but it does
not make the man. If he is not other
wise what he should be, you will new.
er be happy. The most perfect man
who did not love you should never be
your husband. But though marriage
without love is terrible, love only will
not do. 1.-THE man is dishonora5le to
other men, or mean, or given to any
vice, the time will come when you will
either loath him or sink to his level.
1t is hard to remember, amidst kisses
and praises, that there is anything else
in the world to be done or thought Of
but love. making; but the days of life
are many and the husband must be a
guide to be trustsd-a companion, a
friend, as we'll as a lover. Many a
girl has married man whom she knew
to be anything but good, because he
loved her 3d." And the fame has
died out on the hearthstone of home
before long, and beside it there has
been sitting Que that she could never
hope would lead her heavenward-or
who, if she followed him as a wife
should, would guide her footsteps
to perdition. Marriage is q solemn
thing-a choice for life be careful in
the choosing. -Belgravia.

New ORLEANS, January 1.-The
trial OF Returning Board Anderson was
resumed, the court>room being filled
with spectators. AT III O'Clock the
jury entered the court room and occu-
pied their seats. The clerk read
the information against the prisoner,
to which he pleaded not guilty.
The first witness, w. II. Smart, be-
ing sworn for the state, said: al am
clerk of the district court of Vernon
parish; was deputy clerk before,
The documents shown to me contains
my official signature. 1t Is the cleo
ton returns"
MIR. Ray objected, as the document
IL not that mentioned in the indict
ment. The latter speaks of the original
return of elections signed by the super.
visor OF election and registration, when
the document offered Is the consol.
dated statement Of the returns, and
under the law, there Is no such officer
known as supervisor OF election and
registration. Mr.. Ray offered, as an
additional objection, that the docu-
ment must have been signed by the
clerk OF the court, instead OF the deputy
clerk, ana that, AS they are charged
with utterlng forged document, for.
gerry must first be proven before ut
teriDg.
The assistant attorney general cons
tended that the law does not require
the document to be described accur.
ately.. IL was certified by the clerk,
aud that was sufficient.
Mr.. Castelanos said that the OBJ.
lection was not as to the form but as
to the substance of the information.
Judge Whitaker said the objection
was purely technical, as the informa.
ton could be amended under the
statue.
Mr.. Castellanos reserved bill of
exceptions. He said he had been re.
ferred to section l047 of the revised
statues, by the attorney general, a. to
amendments Of information. In the
forgery, like In some other crimes,
there were we'll settled rules vt vari
ance between indictments, and the
defense was always fatal, as also the
commission OF any words. The docu.
ment alleged to be forged Is defective,
II not in form In substance, and the
indictment ID null and void.
Attorney General Ogden replied that
the court was right In the position II
took. Originally he had proposed, un-
der the statutes, to amend the indict-
ment. The rights Of the defense would
not suffer by 1t. The matter was to he
decided by the sound discretion OF the
court.
Assistant Attorney General Eagan
supported the allegations made In the
information. lie quoted several author
titles. The statutes required amend
ment. The variance was not material
Mr.. Castellanos objected to amend
ing the information, which, however
was overruled, and the district attor'
ney amended the information by In

ment from Bulgaria southwark, and
even into Asia, has been, if slow, very
steady ever since 1899 The growth of
the Christians in wealth and population
and political weight, and the dread of
Giaour invasions, makes the genuine
Turk uncomfortable in the frontier
provinces, and makes him long for Asia.
Few travellers in Bulgaria and Roume.

contrary, the clerical force in the sur.
