fresh, innocent girl he had known she
would be. He watched her dancing
with his brother officers. or talking to
her father, or leaning on Braddon's arm,
and every time he saw her she looked
fairer and sweeter. Yet he had not
courage to ask for an introduction, and
in the busy ballroom no one seemed to
remember that he needed one. He kept
his post against the conservatory door
quite undisturbed for some time. Pres
emily he saw Squire Braddon, with the
beauty on his arm, approaching him.
AS he passed, the Squire remembered
he had not been to dinner, and stopped
to say few courteous words, and intro
duced his companion.
Miss Conyers."
"Lieut. Jones'"
But, no sooner did Miss Conyers hear
Lieut.. Jones' voice, than she gave a Joy
full cry, and, clapping her hands to-
gether, said:
ct have found him ! Papa! Papa /!
I have found him p
Never was there such an interruption
to s. ball. The company gathered in ex-
cited groups, and papa knew the Lieu
tenants voice, and the Captain knew it,
and poor Jones, unwillingly en- ugh, had
to acknowledge the deed and be made a
hero Of.
1t was wonderful, after this night,
what change took place in Jones quiet
ways. His books and boat seemed to
have lost their charm, and as for his
walks they were all in one direction, and
ended at Braddon Hall. In about a
month Miss Conyers went away, and then
Jones began to haunt the postman, and
to get pretty little letters, which always
seemed to take agreat deal OF answering.
Before the end Of the winter he had an
invitation to Conyers to spend month,
and, afurlough being granted, he started
off in great glee for Kent. Jones never
returned to the Eighty-fourth. The
months Through was indefinitely
lengthened-in fact, he sold out, and en-
tered upon diplomatic career under the
care Of Sir Thomas Conyers.
Eighteen months after the wreck,
Col. Underwood read aloud at the mess
description of the marriage of Thomas
Jones, of Milford Haven, to Mary, only
child and heiress of Sir Thomas Con-
yers, Of Conyers CASTLE. Kent. And a
paragraph below stated that "The Hon
orable Thomas Jones, with his bride,
had gone to Vienna on diplomatic SER
vice of great importance"
"Just his luck" said Powell.
"Just his pluck," said Underwood ;
"and, for my part, when I come across
one of those fellows again that are afraid
OF hurting their mothers and sisters,
and not ashamed to say SO, T shall treat
him as hero just waiting for his op-
portunity. Here is to the Hon. Thomas
Jones and his lovely bride. We are go
ing to India, gentlemen, next month,
and L am sorry the Eighty-fourth has
lost Lieut.. Jones, for I have no doubt
whatever he would have stormed a fort
as bravely as he boarded wreck"

A Sham Duel.

Senator Cockrell, of Missouri, and
Gen. Bradley johnson ought, in Justice
to themselves and their progeny, take
the boys they have at the University of
Virginia, and extend them across the
paternal knee. These youngsters have
been playing at the duello. The plot
was admirably arranged, beginning with
quarrel while at a game OF billiards.
Hot words followed, and Cockrel. ae-
cording to programme, called johnson a
liar. The latter sprung furiously at
Cockrell, but, Notwithstanding his terri
ole efforts to get at him, mutual friends
succeeded in keeping him back. Then
duel vas agreed upon, Johnson send
ing the challenge. Cockrell's seconds.
who were from Texas, demanded that
the principals should fight with knives,
to which Johnson's seconds assented
and the meeting was arranged to take
place at convenient and secluded SPOT
near Monticello. On the following
morning, the parties, accompanied by a
medical student who carried instruments
and quantity OF lint and bandages.
met, and their deadly knives were seen
by students, who secretly followed. to
flash in the sunlight. The latter at once
ran away, fearful of being made wit
nesses of a terrible and bloody duel
The news soon spread, but, after the
matter assumed serious character and
the youngsters were threatened with. ar
rest, they acknowledged the whole thing
was hoax.

Was it a Miracle?

A startling event that occurred few
nights ago in the Methodist Episcopal
Church, at Letters Ford, Ind, is re-
garded by peoplein that section as direct
interposition of divine providence. for
the punishment of a scofer. A revival
had been in progress in the church for
two weeks. Elias Bidinger, a married
man, about 25 years of age, and Robert
King, had been disturbing the meetings
by making sport of those who led the
services. On the night in question
about seventy-fve persons were present.
During the exercises Bidinger and King
began to create a disturbance. Mr..
Jones, the minister, went to expostulate
with them, laid his hand upon Bidinger's
shoulder, and urged him to change his
way Of life. Bidinger replied with an
oath that he would never change his
ways. A few moments afterward, while
Michael Shade, member of the con-
gregation, was leading in prayer, light
ming flashed into the church, ex-
tinguished all the lights, killed Bidin-
ger, and FRUSTRATED King upon the floor.
King, as he returned to conscious
ness, called upon the spectators to pray
for him, and declared himself converted.
The occurrence resulted in swelling
greatly the ranks of sinners seeking sal
vation into that church.

Animated BarOmeters.

There are two animated barometers in
Sacramento, CAL, that have proved
trustworthy, even where artificial in
struments have failed. One of them is
a catfish, which is kept in water

weather may be, this fish always, before
a storm, makes it point to swim about
with his head below the water and his

fall he goes outof sight until the weather

Jones made little satirical bow. and

In week the event had been pretty
well exhausted especially as there was
to be great dinner and ball at Braden,
and all the officers had invitations. This
ball had a peculiar interest, for the
young lady who had been saved from the
wreck would be present, and rumors of
her riches and beauty had been rife for
several days. It was said the little
steamer was her fathers private yacht,
and that he was man of rank and in
fuence.
Jones said he should not go to the
dinner, as either he or Saville must re-
main for evening drill, and that Saville
loved a good dinner, while he cared very
little about it. Saville could return in
time to let him ride over about 10 o'clock
and see the dancing. Saville rather
wondered why Jones did not take his
place all the evening, and felt half in
jured at his default. But Jones had a
curiosity about the girl he had saved.
To tell the truth. he was nearer in love
with her than he had ever been with a
woman, and he wished in calm blood to
see if she was as beautiful as his fancy
had painted her, during those few awful
minutes that he had held her high above
the waves.
She was exceedingly lovely, just the

The BRUNEAU SYSTEM OF SLAUGH
TERING CATTLE.-Tbe following de-
scription of this French system of
slaughtering cattle will interest many
of our readers "A leathern mask,
called the "forehead pin-mask, is
strapped over the bullock's eyes and
face. In the center Of the mask, di-
rectly over the mid-forehead, is an
iron plate, fitted into the leather, the
under surface being flat and close to
the head. In the middle of the plate
is a round hole, into which the bolt or
pin is inserted. The death-blow is
dealt with wooden mallet on the
head of the pm, which pierces the
brain an inch or two, usually killing
the bullock at once. Finding that
death would come quicker if air enter
ed the brain, the inventor adopted a
bolt which is followed out at the
lower end to form puncl, and con
veys enough air to the brain TO render
the brute insensble. The blow is
now given obliquely. forcing the bolt
into the spinal marrow, and finishing
the work instantly. The apparatus
costs in France about six dollar. and
the time consumed in killing bullock
is scarcely more thar half minute
The mallet used measures less than
one yard, weighs only five or six
pounds, and may be handled effective
ly by boy while blindfoldiug rend-
ers the most fraclious animal perfectly
quiet ADD gentle.
