and at once began their chatter.
Oh, Gertie! how is your cousin Annie2
When does she GO home? Do you know
we could scarcely tell you apart last
night?" and dozen more such questions,
which efectually let the cat out of the
bag, while Denton sat stupidity eudeavor-
ing to entertain one of the coquettes, who
had instantly fastened upon him.
But the moment they had departed,
Gertie stepped towards him, and said,
shyly, but with winning smile:
ut is useless to attempt to carr, the
deception any further. Of course. you
have learned from those chatterers that
Annie personated me last night. It was
a suddenly conceived freak Of mine, as
was too much Of coward to endure your
criticisms as your afianced wife. Be-
sides, wished to know your real mind.
T feared high sense of honor would
induce you to wear the bond, however
calling, and l knew that if you could love
Annie, you could not Gertie."
She had said all this very demurely,
and, with downcast eyes; but as soon as
she had finished, he caught her hands
with look of transport, and answered
''How could be so stupid, when my
heart turned to YOU at once, as all I had
ever hoped or dreamed you would be?
But" and he glanced at the ring, "you
have given this back to me, and, of
course, our engagement is broken"
II have scarcely had time to consult
my own feelings in the matter. simply
took my cue from you-from what you
said last night about its being childish
engagement, and all that sort of thing"
"You must have known that I was al
luding to your cousin, Gertie. Your de-
cePtien caused me to feel disappoint-
ment which would express itself. You
must have seen my preference for your
sell. You had me at your feet all the
evening, as you may through life"
''Iou are crushing my hands, Charlie,
dear. Give me back my ring, and for
give my little deception. It would have
broken my heart, had our bonds been
severed in earnest"
Tears came into her blue eyes, only to
dearing word. A plain gold ring guards
the iamond now, and the bond which
Gertie wears is for life. She is a lovely,
sparkling wife, and very proud is her
husband of her. Annie, too, wears be-,
diamond-the plain hoop of gold is to
come-when she changes her maiden
name for that of Judson.

FEASTING ON HIS OWN FUN.
A Writer Compelled to Literally Eat
His Own Words"

A recent libel suit in Moscow, in which
city the author of a quarto volume was
subjected to most ignominious punish
ment, very forcibly reminds one of the
inestimable blessings enjoyed in coun-
try in which the freedom Of the press is
guaranteed and established right. The
facts in the case referred to are as follows
In the above-named city goodlv- sized
book was published in vindication OF the
rights Of the subject. The work contained
singing scarcasms aimed at the venallty
of the officials, with many satirical and
humorous illusions to bribe- taking and
other in1quities Even the car himself
was handled without gloves, his acts were
fearlessly denounced, and powerful!
argument was adduced in behalf of the
rights of his subjects. The mal~admin-
istration of law was set forth in strong,
plain language.
The book attracted general notice; but
this was bad for the author. He was
arrested and thrown into prison. After
short and summary trial his production
was pronounced libel, and he was con-
demned to 'seat his own words" or suffer
the punishment of the knout. This ter
rible instrument Of torture Is In the
shape of a long whip scourge, and is
composed of many tough thongs of thick,
hard skin, plated together and inter-
woven with strands of stout wire. The
blows are laid upon the bare back, every
stroke cutting like knife, and soon the
victim OF the scourge is shapeless mass
of blood and flesh, One hundreds blows
is equivalent to death sentence. This
was the alternative of the unhappy au-
thor.
The day fixed for carrying the sentence
of the court into execution arrived. A
platform was erected in one of the public
squares of the city. Bound hand and
foot, the victim Of despotlc power was
seated in the centre of the platform. An
immense concourse of people had gath
cred to witness the strange spectacle.
The imperial provost, the ma gistrate, the
physician ane the surgeon Of the car
were in attendance. The obnoxious book
had been separated from it's binding, and,
as an act of grace, the margin had been
cut off. The leaves we're then rolled up,
not unlik cigar-1ighters. And there they
were--a basketful. Now the meal began.
Amid roars of laughter from the ignorant
and degraded populace, the
provost served the author leaf BY leaf
with his own production, putting
the rolls of paper one by one
into bis mouth. He slowly chewed and
swallowed one-third of his book, when
the medical gentleman concluded he had
received into his stomach as much of the
innut1itious material as was compatible
with safety. He was then reconducted
to his cell TO digest his meal. The two
following days the same scene was en-
acted, until every leaf was swallowed,
and as matter of fact he was compelled
to literally eat his own words and feast
on his own fun.
No amount of oratory, either printed
or spoken, can define so eloquently as
the above incident, the chief glory and
browning safety of a free press and a free
government.

His Natural Way.

An Irish officer of distinction attended
ball, but was not as proficient in dane
ing as in the use of his sword. While
standing up in cotillion his partner
called his attention to young man
opposite, who had previously exhibited
much skill as dancer, in the act of
mimicking the movements of the officer.
A little conversation convinced him that
1t was the Intention of the young gallant
to rldicule him, and therefore he inquired
OF him. "ls that your natural way of
dancing?" He was answered that it was.
"Well," said the officer, eff so, by

ly hereafter, I'LL knock you down." The
consequence was that the young fellow
had to persist in mimicking while he re-
NAMED in the room.

One of the House bills now before the Sen

rious Government surveys heretofore carried
on under different organizations and estab-
fishes bureau Of surveys and geology under
the Interior Department, with the present
Coast Survey organization as the nucleus OF

Of these important works and the remarkable
efficiency of our Coast Survey gives assurance
that under its control all the Government
surveying would be systematized and per-

the L. S. Coast Survey has commanded the
admiration of the scientific world for its ac-
curacy and the perfection Of its charts, while
mariners on our coast rely upon them with
absolute trust. The writer hereof can bear
testimony to the thoroughness and accuracy
of these charts, having tested them while

Adjournment of the Legislature.

The Legislature will adjourn to-day,
after session ofabout the average length,
50 working days. or 60 days in all. Its
acts have been fully reported in our col
umns, from day to day. In comparison
with the demands made upon it by the
leading organs of the greenback-demo,
ratio coalition, and what they promised
for it during the election campaign,
it has been a failure. None OF
the offices so loSdly asserted in
the summer TO be useless have been abol-
ished, the mill tax stands. the normal
schools still live, the educational system
Of the State remains as before except that
the free high schools have been abolished.
There has been reduction of salaries,
which would undoubtedly have occurred
all the same had the republican party
been in power, since the resumption
of specie payments and the decrease of
the expense of living have made it
possible for salaries and wages
to be lessened the country over. The
State tax is the same this year as last.
The Legislature has been hard working
body. 1t contained many men of excel
lent abilities and honest motives, but of
some of the men who have been promi-
nent in the opposition the less said the
better for them.
