there was n slimmer of hope in his
eyes as he spoke.
Il have little rnse in my mind,
Elem, and she will never know it,
and it can't harm any one. Now,
will YIN let me try it?''
Fleming hesitated: then he begged
\ to be told what Mabel meant. But
she was firm in keeping that a Sc
cret. At last he gave his consent;
then they chatted for few min
utes and when they parted, he said
lyon do cheer II fellow up so,
Nib! What's the secret of ito"
She laughed, and called after
him, as he went down the path:
The fair and false one is to be
at Mrs. Borden's tomorrow night,
isn't she??"
Eyes, was the reply.
And as Fleming turned, as if to
retrace his steps, Nib said:
"Then come to Inc the day after
tomorrow, but don't go to the Bor-
den party. Now go home"
As Fleming disappeared among
the trees. the laugh left AIabel's face
and an Understandable look of pathos
came to it. But only for minute
did she indulge in that mood. Then
she turned toward the house, saw
ing to herself:
"Louise Sinclair! She is beau.i-
full, but how can a man be deceived
by beauty like that? I never felt
surer of anything than that 1 know
the reason why she snubs him now"
The next night Miss Verne was
late at Mrs. Borden's party, and
when she entered she saw Miss Sim
clair floating by on the arm of
man to whom she seemed to be Civ
ing her sweetest smiles.
In the course of the evening.
Mabel found herself, with a lady
friend, directly behind the chair on
which Miss Sinclair was resting, af-
ter waltz.
The lady's cavalier was leaning
over her chair, watching for the
smiles of his partner. Mabel look |
ed closely at the woman whom
Fleming Johns loved, and she hard /
Ly wondered that her cousin was
pewitched. Immortal youth and /
beauty seemed on the face and fig
IRE, and only few could detect, MS
his young girl did, the look of hard
,elishness abont the mouth.
Mabel turned to her companions
md made some remark about Elem
ng Johns, who was not present.
As she spoke the name purposely
loud, she saw Miss Sinclair's face
,hange like one who listens.
Il suppose You heard that Flem-
ng's father had lost nearly all his
ortlne?" said Nib.
ooh, yes. everybody knew it, and
re were SO sorry for him." was the
esponse.
''Of course" said Nib, everybody /

t their losses: but the misfortune ,

"Indeed? Do tell us about it. Miss :

Mabel saw Miss Sinclair's eyes q
ri9hten and she thought to her i

to think no one had heard Of his
fathers losses, save few intimate
friends!" And aloud, she said:
''The news about the loss was
sent wrong-a queer mistake. In
stead of losing, Mr.. Johns is fifty
thousand dollars richer than be-
fure!"
Then she dropped the subject.
Fleming came punctually the
next day, and eagerly asked Nib
what luck she had had.
"Oh,' she said, II have sown the
seed! Now you go and call upon
Miss Sinclair, and see if she is not
as sweet as ever; but give me your
word of honor that YOU won't pro-
pose to her until you know what
my plan was. Then you can act
at your pleasure"
! Nib was distant and moody that
morning, and somehow Fleming
could not feel at ease with her.
There was strange look in the
girls eyes that batfied and tanta-
lied the young man, and he went
away thinking for the moment more
of his cousins mood than of the
woman he was going to visit.
But once within the presence of
Miss Sinclair, and he forgot every
thing else. She received him iii
such a way as to make him forget
that he had been estranged. He
Was triumphant; and, if it had not
been for his promise to Mabel, he
would have offered his hand then
und'there.
He walked away on air, his head |
thrown back, his face shining with
JOY. He went directly to Mabel.
The cloud is gone-the sun
shines again!' he exclaimed. "Con-
gntulate me"
Certainly" was the cool reply
Now, would you like to know that
it was the hearing from me that
your father had not lost the most of
his fortune, that brought out the
smiles again?"
Fleming stared. His nature was
So frank and uususpicious that he
could not suspect such II thing.
Hurriedly, Mabel told what she
had done, and ended by saying:
1T has always been limited that
Louise Sinclair was determined to
marry a fortune; but how could
tell You that? l want you to make
her your wife, if she is worthy of /:
you, Fleming, but l don't want you
to be deceived" l
There was that in Mib's voice
that moved Fleming's heart. But {
ne did not recognize the emotion;
he thought he WAS utterly miserable l
md heart-broken, for her words
came home to him as truth. Now '
that hint had been given him, his l
eyes were opened to many things .
TO which he had been blind before.
"And you-you," he stammered, G
you think it was my money she L
owed, not me?" L

upon to address the convention, he said
he had come at the earnest request of the
cotton exchange of New Orleans TO lend
what power of influence he possessed To-
wards harmOnizing conflicting interests
of the great Mississippi valley. He urg-
ed all, both white and black, TO shut their
ewes to the past, and hand in hand work
together for the future prosperity of their
native land. General Miles was made
president, with four vice presidents, all
the vice presidents being colored. After
appointing a committee on credentials
the convention adjourned for one hour.
On reassembling, the committee on
credentials reported that every capitalist,
merchant and farmer who had come in
response to the call, should be entitled to
a voice in the proceedings of the conven-
ton, as also those who had credentials
! from country parish conventions.
Before vote was taken on the report
of the committee, Rev. Thompson, color
ed, chairman of the state emigration
society, of Louisiana, addressed the con-
vention. His remarks were directed
particularly to colored men. He said
he hoped the colorcd men present would
refrain from assembling to take into con-
slderation the material interests of the
people irrespective of party or color,
that no resolutions of political character
be entertained by the chair, and debate
on such questions shall be out of order
The spirit of the convention toward the
close was most harmonious, and great
benefits are anticipated as the result
There seemed to be q general feeling OF
concession from the white to the cOlored
The report OF the committee Will, it is
thought, favor a reduction of the price
for the rent of land, less exhorbitant
prices for the necessaries of living and
more general recognition of the politi
cal rights of the colored man. There
was general sentiment among delegates
of both color in favor of such resolu

EDITOR NEWS: This will be handed
to you by my friend Charles Pelham,
Esq.
Surely the good old days of southern
chivalry have fully set in. THE News
doubtless remembers back to the time
when a similar message was sent to one
Arson Burlingame; will also remember
that Burlingame accepted and invited
the other party to little shooting match
at Niagara Falls; also that the poltroon,
Brooks, showed the white feather just
as Lowe has. How it seems to me that
Hon. Rev. DR.. De La Matyr, the prince
of financiers, ought to move for an ap-
preparation to the said Lowe for vindica-
ting southern honor, and especially the
Greenback party. The party is onlyl in
its infancy and its leaders ought to re-
ceive encouragement. Seriously, is it
not strange that Republicans should con-
sent to leave the only party that has ever
done anything for the country, and cast
their votes and influence with the con-
federates, the enemies of Republican
institutions and government, following
the lead of few lunatics who hope to
gain popularity and place by flying off
on this tangent. But if the course of
the Democratic party does not make a
solid north we need not expect that any
thing ever will.

A LEAvENwoRTH STRIKE IN
LEADVILLE.
InaduiIIo Rauo,IIn


For several days past, rumors of 6
rich strike on Carbonate have been cir
culated about town, but not till yester
day did such rumors become facts, anC
last evening great was the excitement
This rich find of carbonates has been
made ON Carbonate Hill, within
quarter of mile of the city limits
and the shaft house on the mine can bt
seen from any part of Chestnut street
1t is on what is calldd the Judge Pen
derry mine, which is located south of the
Crescent and west of the Yankee Doodle
mines.
Judge Pendery, a well known attOr
ney of this city, selected last July 6
place in which TO sink a shaft, and with
himself, L. NJ. Goddard, Z. II. Gruber
and others, let a contract on the 10Th OF
last December, to begin sinking. Al
first the shaft passed through forty
feet of wash, containing buOlders and
sand, after which porphyry was struck
through which the shaft steadily pro
crossed distance of 40 feet further.
On last Saturday, the 10Th of April
just four months from commencement
iron was struck. On the 21st carbonates
appeared, the first being gray sand car
Donates. This strata was six inches in
thickness, and two assays being made
showed respectively 342 and AT ounces
of silver per ton. After passing through
the sand carbOnates, hard carbonates
with chlorides were found; the first as
say from this showed 263 ounces, and
the next 29S ounces per ton. These hard
carbonates have been sunk into two and
One-half feet and show remarkable in
crease in richness and quantity. Yester
day afternoon a selected piece, the last
AIKEN out, was assayed by Messrs. Hayes
and Wood, and the wonderful result OF
14,OSO ounces per ton was obtained
This shows a coin value of $15, 206.4C
per ton.
One great result of this discovery has
been to dissipate the idea of all experts
and in fact the prevailing opinion thai
but one contact vein or strata of carbon
ates exists, at least on Carbonate Hill
This discovery is $50 feet below the con.
tact on which are located the Crescent
Yankee Doodle, Carbonate, and other
mines. This may be the means of in.
ducing others to sink on down and even.
tually open up bodies of ore that will
astonish the world.
Governor Tabor, General Bearce, and
others have visited the mine, and after a
thorough examination, we learn have
expressed the opinion that this is the
greatest srlke ever made in the camp
and will be worth millions to Leadville
The present owners in the mine are as
follows, with the fractional share owned
by each: J. L. Hendery, one-fourth
L. NJ Goddard, one-eighth; Mr.. Dun.
ming, of Wichita, one-eIghth; E. H
Grubner, one eighth; Judge Ballou
One-eighth; and George Melville, one
eighth. We congratulate all the gentle
men on the prospect of an early future
