The young ladies wondered at the perfect
impunity with which they murdered the
English language during the reminder Of
class hour but no one guessed the tumult,
of hope and fear in the heart of their gentle
teacher-none saw her, when she was at
last alone-write afew words only-
eff it is indeed Herbert who has put the
enclosed advertisement in the paper. he
will find me at No. %, Rue Mont, Paris.
Ever his faithful, loving betrothed,
'LEpA."
Then she put the advertisement into the
letter, sealed and directed it, and sent it
away over the sea to the anxious lover,
waiting and praying for tidings.
The English classes were never neglected;
the comfort of the aged widow who was
Leda's companion was never forgotten, the
daily duties of life were consoientiously
performed; butit seemed to Leda as though
her whole life concentrated upon the ar
rival of the mails after there was posi-
biGty of receiving an answer to her short
note. She grew pale with restlessness at
night, when the dream of her youth came
again to keep her wakeful. ALI the old love,
the old hope, the long ago conquered de-
spair and pain came back to haunt her as
she waited with renewed hope for It'd
ings.
81 am growing old and worn," she said
to herself one day, looking at her pale face
in the mirror, II am not the blooming girl
Herbert loved, but careworn, pallid wo-
man."
And her own sad eyes could not see the
rare beauty of her sweet face. But, still
thinking of her love, she twisted her hair in
heavy coronet over her shapely head,
and upon one side put knot of blue
ribbon.
Herbert liked it so,n she thought.
Then she pinned blue ribbons over her
gray dress under a soft lace collar, and put
on brooch her adopted father had given
her, and which was fayorite with Her.

And thinking sadly of the change years
had made, she was summoned to the sit
ting-room to meet grave, middle-aged
man, changed also, until she read upon his
lips and in his eyes his constancy and an
swered it by her own.
Years rolled back as these two, faithful
through all, met at last to know their
hearts still young, their love still true,
as it was in those days when cruel fate
separated them by SO insignificant an agent
as crack in the wall behind mantle
piece.

A gentleman must always offer lady his
right arm to take her down to dinner. The
reason is that gentleman must invariably
give the lady the place of honor, which is
the right hand, and the only occasion on
which lady stands on gentleman's left is
during the marriage service, when the in-
ferior position indicates submission and
obedience.

ONE of the fiercest witnesses against
Major Reno is an individual whose mouth
was slapped by the accused about the
time Of the massacre, for his mpudence.
1t would not be in the nature Of mouth
to speak well of a man after having been
slapped by him. Another witness states
that Reno did not flee during the engage
ment, but that he seemed to have lost
his presence of mind. If that is serious
charge it might also have been preferred
against the brave and lamented Custer
himself, who certainly did not preserve
his presence of mind when he was drawn
into such death-trap by the foe.

THE POTTER COMMITTEE
CLOSING UP BUSINESS.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-The Potter inves-
tigation committee met in secret ses-
sion this morning, all the members
present. The chairman produced letters from
Senators Allison and Ingalls,, who were the
tellers on the part of the Senate at the time the
PRESIDENTIAL election returns were presented.
stating that they had no knowledge of what be-
came of the electoral certificates of Louisiana.
known as the John Smith certificates, which
were withdrawn and suppressed from the
records. communication was read from
Rogers, private secretary of the President, stat
ing that the latter had no knowledge from
Theo Bourne in regard to the confession of
certain parties connected with Florida frauds
and enclosing telegram from Bourne that a
letter asking for information in regard to the
matter had been received from the President.
The committee appeared to consider that the
production of the letter, which it is alleged was
sent to the President, is of great Importance
and they instructed the chairman to make
further search for it.
A letter from Mr.. Jewett to the effect that
after conversation with Mr.. G. s. Smith. he
was satisfied that he had been mistaken in re-
gard to that gentleman's opening the New Or
leans postofice vault for them to get the cleo
ton returns, was next read and laid on the
table without comment. A communication
was read from Manton Marble asking that Ger
tain dispatches which had been produced. but
"h.oAA "oie oLilOIeu IRON DIS testimony, should
be incorporated in it. It was decided to con-
slider the request.
The chairman stated he had prepared memo
randa of the committees report to be submit
ted to the committee, and he would like the
committee to consider it now. An animated
discussion took place upon the report. It
found little favor with the Republicans, as a
matter of course, and in reference
to certain points, it did not seem to 90 far
enough to please the Democratic members.
So great, indeed, are it's shortcomings in this
respect that there is some talk of second re-
port from the Democratic side, but no doubt
th-se minor matters will be arranged and at
the meeting tomorrow Potter's report will be
submitted as the report of the majority. His
cock will present the views of the minority
and Butler will present a report of his own.
The committee will meet again at IL o'clock
tomorrow, when the several reports will be
definitely decided upon.

Governor, has placed guard over all the
armories of the militia. It ia not known that
IN doing this he is Influenced by the knowledge
of any proposed movement of serious nature.
1t is probably purely precautionary measure.
There is ground for belief that at the present
Juncture of political affairs in the State. the

WILL be among the first to oppose any violent
action. In some quarters it is considered prob
able that criminals might seek to make the veto

San FRANCISCO, Feb. 28.-The city council of

and telegraphed it to the President: .sThe
people of the Pacific coast have had thirty
years experience with Chinese coolie slavery,
and they ought to know something of its prac-
tical workings, and ask protection against the
fearful scourge. Our Eastern brethren in
general do not understand this question prac-
tically, as they have had no such experience.
Therefore their clamor is senseless. President
Lincoln killed African slavery after it had at
tanned gigantic proportions. President Hayes
now has an opportunity to scotch if not to for
ever strangle Asiatic slavery on our shores, in
its infancy. In behalf of the people of our
city and commonwealth we fervently and
respectfully beg he will not lose the golden
opportunity" (Signed by the mayor and
