harmless and successful denouement of
what threatened at one stage to lead to
alteration, perhaps TO quarrel. But
Jack Newbiggln was not satisfied.

that was only the half of note, but /
know where the other half is to be

SO much tho better for me-" said
the baronet, with an effort TO appear
humorous.
That other half was given to-shall
say, Sir Lewis ?"
Sir Lewis nodded indifferently.

gan, an Irish nurse, six years ago. 1t

tempted so sorely, and so weakly fell.
But, am prepared to make all the res

less, unhappily, 1t be already too
late"
Even while he was speaking his face
turned CHASTITY pale, his lips were COW
cred with fine white foam, he made
one or two convulsive attempts to steady
himself, then with wild, terrified look
around, he fell heavily to the floor.
1t was a paralytic seizure. They took
him upstairs and tended him but the
case was desperate from the first. Only
just before the end did he so far recover
the power of speech as to be able to make
full confession of what had occurred.
Sir Lewis had been younger son.
The eldest inherited the family title, but
died early, leaving his widow to give
him posthumous heir, the title re-
naming in allegiance until the time
showed whether the infant was boy or
girl. 1t proved to be boy, whereupon
Lewis Mallaby, who had the earliest in
timation of the fact, put into executiona
nefarious project which he had carefully
concocted in advance. a girl was Oh
tanned from foundling hospital and
substituted by Lady Mallaby''s nurse,
who was in Lewis pay, for the newly
born son and heir. This son and heir
was handed over to another accomplice,
Hester Gorrigan, who was bribed with
one hundred pounds, half down in the
shape of a half note, the other half to
be be paid when she announced her safe
arrival in Texas with her stolen child
Mrs. Gorrigan had an unquenchable
thirst, and in her transit between Lon
don and Liverpool allowed her precious
charge to slip out of her hands, with the
consequences we know.
1t was the watch borrowed from Sir
Lewis Mallaby which first aroused
Jacks suspicious. 1t bore the strange
crest-two hammers crossed, with the
motto, " strike''-which was marked
upon the linen of the child that Dan
Blockit picked up at Kirklington sta
ton. The initial of the name Mallaby
coincided with the monogram H. l.. M.
Jack rapidly drew his conclusions and
made a bold shot, which hit the mark,
as we have seen.
Lewis Mallaby's confession soon rein
stated the rightful heir, and Dan Blockit
in after years had no reason to regret
the generosity which had prompted him
to give the little foundling the shelter of
his rude home.

The Treasure of Ivan the Terrible.

At Wiasma, in the Government of
Smolensk, there arrived, short time ago,
Prussian named Filiner, who sought
out the two leading tradesmen of the
place and informed them that he was
in possession of an ancient document
wherein stood recorded the interesting
circumstance that the imperial treasure
of Ivan the Terrible lay buried in a for
est between the villages of SOlowiczy and
BorZcy, the said treasure consisting of
two gold horseshOes, a golden crucitiX
weighing eighty pounds, and several
casks containing gold and silver to the
amount of some 80, ,000, 900 of roubles.
Filiner and his confidants, Kustareff and
Nononoff, forthwith concluded contract,
the two latter undertaking to defray eX-
penses of excavation upon condition that
each should take a third share of the
treasure, after deducting fifteen per cent.
of the gross value, to be paid to the priest
of Solowichy, who owns the ground in
which Gar Ivan's pretiosa were by that
gruesome monarch hidden away. More
than a hundred peasants of the two
above-named hamlets were then hired by
the partners and set to work digging in
the forest. Shortly after they had COM
menced operations the golden hOrseshOes
| came to light, and the news of their dis
covery spread like wildfire throughout
the district of Wiasma. The population
poured in to the scene of the inVestiga-
tions in such numbers that the authOri-
ties of the chief city were compelled to
send strong detachments of infantry and
gendarmerie in order to put stop to the
tlimults that had already arisen between
| the peasants employed by Filiner & Co.
and those who had commenced unauthOr-
lied researches upon their own account.
We are unacquainted with the Russian
| law of treasure trOve, but should imagine
that the crown is not very likely to
| forego its claims to undoubted imperial
valuables, even if disinterred from land
belonging to an orthodox Pope. Seven
or eight millions sterling would be well
come windfall to a State suffering from
depleted exchequer and deprecated
currency Telegraph.

shock their moral sense and react so dis
astrously upon their local party inter
ests? The answer is plain. The South
is solidly Democratic only by reason of
the shotgun policy. Stop assassination,
terrorism, intimidation and fraud, and
FIVE Southern States-Mississippi Lou
isiana, Alabama, South Carolina and
Florida-will be Immediately transferred
into the Republican column. These
States cast thirty-seven electoral votes
sufficient to overcome Ohio and Indiana,
and two more than enough to overcome
New York in the electoral College. Mis-
sissippi is Republican, on fair vote, by
%, 900 majority. Says the Okolona States:
g True, the black race has majority
in many towns, counties and States of
the South. True, as rule, the first, the
last and the whole of them are Radicals
at heart, and will vote the Radical ticket
whenever they have half a chance. We
all know this and admit it. But these
| facts make no difference-nO difference
| lChdteoer.''
Hence the shotgun policy becomes sig
nificant. 1t is far-reaching. A certain
| degree of intimidation and terrorism and
| a certain number of assassinations, and
if all these fail, a certain number of tis-
| sue ballots in the five States named serve
to nullify the electoral votes of the two
great States, Ohio and Indiana, or the
great State of New York. Hence the
groveling attitude of the Northern Demo-
| cratic press on the subject of Southern
outrages against the rights of free opin-
| ion, free speech and free ballots. North
ern Democratic journals and speakers
stand between two fires. If they insist
upon fair elections at the South they lose
five States held in the Democratic electo-
raj column by bulldozing; if they wink
at bulldozing they shock and drive from

of the case-and this is the only view
| which commends itself to the spirit OF
candor-eVery Democratic leader of
opinion at the North is accessory to all
the outrages committed at the South with
the corrupt purpose of retaining power
in the hands of the minority. Thus the
Democratic party North is implicated in
the assassination of Dixon. His blood is
upon its skirts. 1t is in the position of 4

Horns Of a Democratic Dilemma.

The YazoO affair has become a part of
the history of the times. The assassina-
tiOn of Dixon was a political murder
committed by the Democratic party, not
of Yazoo county alone, but of the State
of Mississippi. This is not and cannot be
successfully disputed. Now, we propose
to show that the Northern wing of the
Democratic party is particips crinsinis--that
it shares in the guilt of the bloody deed.
Such an outrage would be impossible at
the North. Northern public sentiment,
whether of Republican or Democratic
origin, would revolt at the spectacle of a
partisanship so violent as to cause blood
shed here. A political organization at
the North which should be suppressed
by murder would instantly reassert itself
with fOur-fold strength. Why, then, is
the Democratic party North almost silent
on the subject of the Yazoo atrocity?
Suppose the success or failure of the
Democratic party of Mississippi could
have no possible effect upon the fortunes
of the Democratic party of the whole
country, is any man so stupid as to doubt
that Democratic speakers and Democratic
journals and Democratic conventions at
the North would join heartily with Re-
publicans in denouncing assassinations
like that at Yazoo? They would find
their account in doing so, even if no
higher motive should govern them.
Every Democratic assassination in Mis-
sissippi or Louisiana weakens the Demo-
cratic party North. The Baltimore Ga
sette, Il Democratic paper, admits that the
ruffianism of the Democratic party in
Mississippi twill reflect with great Sc
verify on the Democrats of Mississippi
and the qohOIe country" Why, then, do
the Democrats North refrain from exert
ing their entire moral force in an effort
to suppress such Outrages? Why do
Democrats North deal gingerly with
Democratic assassinations South when
they realize that every political murder
South alienates voters from the standard
of the Democratic party North? They
are disgusted with assassination, first,
because it is an awful crime, and second,
because it costs them votes Whv don't
they cry aloud and spare not'' in de-
nunciation of Southern outrages which
