I don't want to live any longer! You
don't want me tOi 10 is useless TO pre-
tend you dol II you did, you would
show a little regard for my feelings.
But you have none. You never have
had any where size was concerned /!
You are undudful, ungrateful, aud !
wish you would leave me to die alone
Go 20, now, and marry that woman y
she almost screamed, in a perfect trans
port of rage, that made her blazing eyes
and pale, wasted face look frightful.
"You might as well, for you are only
waiting for me 10 die and be out Of your
way 90
The poor woman, almost beside her
self with passion, had risen 10 a sitting
posture, and pointed to the door, as she
imperiously waved her son away; but
now, her strength exhausted, she sunk
down, p0werless to resist the pain that
seemed depriving her OF breath. Her
son sprang 10 her side, and tried TO ad-
minister medicine, but, not succeeding,
be rushed out and sent for the physi-
clan, then returned and did eyervthing
he could think OF to alleviate the suffer
ing it almost broke his heart to witness.
With her first sign Of recognition, she
tried TO motion him away but he put
bis arms about her, kissed her forehead
tenderly, and said, as steadily as he
could:
"Nou cannot drive me away from
you, my poor mother. I will never
leave you"
She ceased to repulse him, and he
murmured:
81 wish could bear this awful pain
for you, mother. j would gladly do it
if / could"
And be gently stroked the thin hair
aud laid his cheek against her head
She could resist no longer, but brok,
into violent weeping, and throwing bel
arms about his neck, clung TO him lik,
a tired, passionate child. The strong
mans tears were mingled with hers, ai
he sought 10y soothing, tender wordt
aud cafessses TO calm the tempest whosI
effects he so greatly dreaded. Presently
he whispered:
"Dear mother, let Us be reconciled an,
happy once more, as we used 10 be
Can we not?
She did not reply. 4 terrible convul
sion shook her frame. Her arms tight
eued about his neck, aud then SLOWLY
relaxed their bold and fell At her side

I
WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 26, 1879.
Z" THE EDITOR or THE NEw NORTHWEST:
The Administration is safe at last. In
returning to the White House after so
long sojourn among the people, the
President may well appreciate that he
is snugly ensconeed once more where
the American citizen cannot compel
him to stump speaking and to witness
trottiHg matches at country fairs. But,
on the other baud, he may wish himself
among his farmer friends again, in view
of the hordes Of oflice-seebers who have
pounced down on him since his return
70 urge their peculiar claims for place.
The widow Oliver who sued Senator
Cameron for breach Of promise, has
hard time Of il in our courts, owing to
her inability to meet judicial expenses.
Her case seems hopeless, unless some
one will assist her pecuniarily, aud that
seems highly improbable, for any
would-be benefactor must necessarily
assist her under the consciousness that
he may have eventually to render a
second contribution to keep himself out
Of the courts
Another character here which causes
much comment, though Of more chari-
table nature than the preceding, is Cen
eral Grants brother, Orville. Almost
ans day he is 70 be seen on the steps of
the post office. There is nothing in bis
appearance to attract the attention of
strangers. He is a man Of square, COM
pact build, Inclined now to corpulency,
and goes rather shabbily elad-hardly
shabbily either, but with a blue suit Of
clothes, showing the need Of brushing
aud attention; his head covered with a
| black sioueh hat, rather crumpled and
worn down over the eyes; on his feet
/ iow-cut pair Of shoes, the heels wore
/ aslaut, between which aud his pants is
/ exposed pair Of white (onceI half-hose.
. This comprises the outward makeup Of
. Orviile Grant, brother Of the General
and ex-Presideut. In face and figure,
. Orville is not unlike his distinguished
brother. He is somewhat taller, but
has the same oval face, wears his whis-
kers cut short, aud has the same-shaped
head. Orgilie's eyes differ from the
. Generate; they are deep blue, small,
aud have a penetrating glance. In
many characteristics Orvilie is like the
/ General. He almost always is alone.
aud is quite reliceut, seldom speaking
10 any one unless first accosted. He
seems 10 be laboring under the halluci-
nation that he is weighed down with
/ business cares, aud has many air-castles
/ in course Of mental construction, though
/ he eseldom intrudes his visionary schemes
upon the attention Of strangers.
/ ST. j. p Walker, e. s. A., now in
carcerated in the Government Insane
Asylum, which so beautifully orna-
meuts the Maryland bank of the Poto-
mac TO the southeast Of the city, is en-
deavoriug to secure his release under
a writ Of habeas corpus, and will sue
ceed, having recovered his reason.

When all was over, when our friend
had sadly looked for the last time at the
white, set face, so strangely calm at last,
and had followed the long-tortured but
now quietly resting body to its lonely
place Of final repose, he returned TO his
lonely home, feeling aged aud exhausted
by the trying experiences through
which he had just passed. Friends 10
abundance offered their coincidence, aud
certain thoughtful ones, who had an eve
TO the future, were so gushing aud de-
monstrative in their expressions Of
sympathy that they overreached them
selves entirely, so that the object Of
their solicitude could never afterWard
see them without feeling OF disgust.
Miss King was not Of this number,
however She was really touched by
his saddened face aud manner, and
showed her sympathy in an impulsive,
natural way that did him good, while it
strengthened his respect aud regard, and
deepeued his convic,ion tina. she was
really his friend. She left town few
days after Mrs. Stoddard's death, and
when she bade him goodbye, she blush
ingly told him that, as she expected TO
have a home Of her own soon, she would
much enjoy a visit from him during the
summer
He rather surprised her by the hearth
ness with which he accepted the invita-
tion, and the pleasure he manifested al
the news thus Impaired. Size did not
guess how much that child-like conf
deuce lightened his heavy heart, by
making a certainty Of his belief For
bis last interview with his mother
weighed heavily upon his mind, and he
sometimes wondered If he ought not 10
have promised anything, rather than
have allowed her 20 become so highly
excited, though his conscience told him
F he had done an he ought or could Now
f that liberty was his At last, he felt 10th
. 10 use &c. His heart yearued Tor Eli
uors comforting presence even more
than before, but his moiher's dreadful
words still rang in his ears, and he felt
almost as though it would be An Insult
TO her 10 so soon visit the woman he
loved. Thus week dragged il,
