twenty times to inquire whether Randall
was come home, and uttering heavy
imprecation each time he was answered
in the negative; what between pain and
impotence, he became so fevered that
he really seemed quite i'll, and his suffer
ings were evidently more than he could
well endure. Poor Mrs. Melwyn, help
less and feeble, dared not propose to do
anything for him, though size suffered,
soft, kind creature that she was, almost
more in witnessing his distress than he
did in the midst of it. At last Lettice
ventured to say, that she thought it a
great pity the general should continue
to suffer this agony, which she felt as
sured must be positively dangerous, and
modestIy ventured to suggest that she be
allowed to undo the bandage and relieve
the pressure.
"Dear me-" said Mrs. Melwyn, in a
hurried, frightened way, could you
venture? Suppose you should do mis-
chief; better wait, perhaps"
Easily said, ma'am," cried the gen
eral. dts not your arm that's aching
as if it would drop from your body, that's

times. There is no difficulty in it."
Dear Lettice, how you talk!' said
Mrs. Melwyn. as if she were afraid Ran
dali was behind the door. "No difficulty!
How could Randall bear to hear you say
so?"
II don't know, mann; perhaps she
would contradict me. But think at all
events there is no difficulty which l could
not manage"
"Well, then, for Heavens sake, try,
child" cried the general, "for really the
pain is as if all the dogs in Hockey were
gnawing it. Come along; do something,

He suffered Lcttice to help him off
with his coat, and to undo the bandage,
which she accomplished very handily;
and then observed that Mrs. Randall, in
her haste to depart upon her visit, had

Born farmers boy at Guilford, Conn.,,
he studied for the ministry, and received
a call at Meriden as Congregational
minister, Thence when his doctrines
and habits of thought being deemed a
little too sensational he went to Boston
and has achieved popularity there, or
perhaps it might more properly be stated
notoriety.
His devotion to fast horses, of which
he has always been inordinately fond, has
caused him to be styled the sporting par
son, title that he seems rather to court
than otherwise. His vacations have
been spent hunting and fishing in the
Adirondack Mountains, about which he
has published book that has been much
criticised and some of his statements of
fact sharply disputed. He has found
time among his clerical and other duties,
it appears, to also publish a newspaper,
carry on farm on which he bred fine
horses and other stock, and lastly invent
ed a blackboard wagon which he organ
lied company to manufacture.
These mutifarious enterprises took
more cash than he appears to have been
able to earn as a preacher, although he
seems to have been esteemed us very
earnest and eloquent one when in the
pulpit and his mind withdrawn from
his secular operations. In short the
reverend gentleman has had too many
irons in the fire with the usual result. 1t
is refreshing to be able to add, however,
that so far nothing dishonorable has been
found against the gentleman more than
can be alleged against the generality of
merchants or other failing. debtors whose
assets are inadequate to satisfy their liza
bilities. Score that much for the "Rev.
| Adirondack"

lIOnuOn SUC'elN.
Scotch forests are most lucrative to
their owners The rents paid are enor-
nous and not many years ago would have
sounded incredible. Lord Dudley paid
a rent of $4,000 year for the Reay for
est. The $4,000 represent five thousand
deer, as far as may be computed, and
some sixty thousand acres over which
they roam, comprising S1me of the love
lest Scotch scenery. These deer are the
hneSt III Scotl''.nd, often attaining eigh-
Teen Stone and they possess the peculiar
lty Of t.orked tails. Lord Dudley does not
50 tm very keen about his deer. Months
of the season will pass away before he
begins Devastating.
The deer of the other forests seem to
find this out, and when hard beset flee
for safety to the Reay forest. The Scotch
have great regard for the original Lord
Ward, who first took a pleasure-yacht
into the almost unknown northern
waters of Scotland, and set an example
to tourists in penetrating to the furtherest
recesses of the land. Last season Lord
Dudley had the famous Black Mount
Forest, in Argyllshire, belonging to Lord
Breadalbane, paying f4,5C0. The forest
stretches for twenty miles, the haunt Of
the finest red deer; and the sporthas been
excellent, though deer stalking is excep'
tionally difficult in this country.
Lord Aveland is credited with almost
the best shooting last season in "Lont
Glenartney's hazel shade" The 1nver
ness-shire shootings reach a total renta
of some f65,000 a year. 1t is all yer!
well for Prof. Blacliie, in his "Braema
Ballads" to denounce the incursions o
the Saxon:
"a London brewer shoots the grouse,
lordllng stalks the deer"

A GREAT many Americans who GO
prowling around in Cuba have regretted
that they did not stay at home. Recent
ly Colonel Barnette, now naturaIized
citizen of the United States but at one
time an insurrectiGnary leader in Cuba,
returned to the scenes of his former ex-
ploits. His sojourn upon the island was
brief, however, and when he reached New
York few days since he related a
pathetic story of his wrongs, which was
repeated by telegraph to the ears Of his
adopted countrymen. He stated that he
was seized without warrant in the streets
of Matanza, imprisoned with malefactors
and coolies, and finally taken into the
wood to be shot. Through the inter
vention of the Captain Generals
Secretary he was at last released with
instructions to get back to America as
quickly as possible. Advices from Ha'
vana, subsequent to Col. Barnette's re-
turn. give another coloring to the affair
Thev state that he was duly arrested fol
his supposed connection with Castro
chief of the bandits, and that his treat
ment was only that of an ordinary Grim
inal. When brought to Havana he Of
fered to 90 North, and was thereupon re
leased. Col. Barnette's version OF thu
treatment to which he was subjected ma,
be correct, but knowing Cuba and th'
Cubans 50 well as he does, it would per
haps be prudent for him to keep ava!
from there.
