Circumstances and my mother were more
to blame than |, however.
In answer, i murmured something
about Frank.
"Ah, that letter to Frank; remember
it. You were always 50 hard on him that
/ didn't like to tell you about it. He
really had been trying to keep on steadily
tthe post your kindness had obtained
him, but old debts were constantly com.
ing in, and his limited salary would moi
meet them and keep him as well. There
was one man who pressed him hard 70,
Gl0. He had spent his last quarters
salary within pound or two, and more
would not be coming for some time He
wrote and told me this, asking me to
help him, but / could not. He wrote
again, and said he must draw ON his
salary, but begged him not to do so, 50

think it bad sign. The man threatened
to expose his former habits to the firm,
which you know might have ruined him
with them. | resolved to help him this
once, and in order 10 do so sold my dia-
mond brooch, which scarcely ever had
occasion to wear. | got fl0 for it and I
sent him notes to that amount-he little
guessed at what cost"
"My poor, prosecuted, self-sacriicing
little woman; why did you not tell me
all this? Why could you not trust me?"
"Why could you not trust me?"
Marian demanded, half-playfully, half

was proud, and self-wiIled, and all sorts
of bad things, and then leaving you was
worse than all. Harold, dear, | am 50
ashamed of myself for that. No woman
is justified in leaving her husband on SO
slight pretext as | had"
| thought 50 too. She was becoming
the most sensible little woman in the
world but had been to blame, too, and
| was not going 10 let all the magnaninl-

Marian, you must forgive me, dear"
ooh, Harold! we shall be 80 happy
again now, shan't we? the little woman
replied; and then she wound up our
reconciliation in true womanIy style,
with tears and smiles and kisses.
But the mystery of the money was
still more dark after Marian's explana-
ton, and it was months before we pene-
trated it. We did 50 at last, however.

Wr. stephens Views.

New York World in Washington interview.
WASHINGTON, Sent. S.-Alexander Fl.
Stevens reached here this evening on his
way home. There have been all sorts of
rumors regarding his immediate inten-
tons, which he corrects by saying that
he shall stay here about two days, and
may thengo to Louisville on private legal
business. From there he will 90 home,
provided he does not go directly home
from here, but will return in season to
meet the Committee of the House Oh
Coinage, Weights, and Measures, of
which he is Chairman, in November.
81 do not intend,' he said tonight, "to
interest myself actively in any campaign
this wear. made one speech in Georgia,
but | thought that was due to my own
people and | shall not make any more.
| don't look beyond this years campaign
yet. Whatever my impressions may be,
] say, as | have said before, although the
papers have persisted in disappearing
me, that there are not yet sufficient data
for sensible man to predicate a rational
opinion upon. Just now there recurs to
me a saying of Judge DooleyS which
may be applied aptly to my views on the
Presidential question. He said that if
there was anything on earth not fore
known by God it WAS the verdict of a
petit jury. So believe about the Pres
idential nomination. No one can tell
who will be nominated, 50 what use is
there of speculation about it?''
'Do you think Mr.. Tilden's chances
for the nomination as good as anyone'sY'
"Well, shouldn't want to say that
did. If l said anything | should be ex-
pressing an opinion"
"You have read, have you not, the re-
cent statements of Mr.. Field in The
World about Mr.. TiIdens connection
with the Elevated road stocksY'
"Oh, yes, / have read them all and
thought about them. At Long Branch
they were the chief topic of conversation
from the day on which the first interview
with Field appeared in the World.
don't object to telling you what thought
about them. They reminded me OF a
case in court in which witness for the
defendant was asked what be knew about
the. parties to the suit then pending.
Well, the witness replied, 4 know both
parties, and / consider them both in
famous rascals; but of the two ] rather
think the defendant the worst So l
think that in the Field Tilden case the
defendant is probably worse than the
plaintiff"
'Mr. Tilden," your correspondent con-
tinued, "has not yet found time to reply
to Mr.. Fields explicit charges over his
own name. Should he let them go un-
answered and should the public come to
feel that he had intentionally deceived
and overreached business associate, do
you think his political prospects would
be injuredw
"In the way in which political affairs

"crime seems to be no obstacle to mans
advancement"

MEDICAL JURISPRUDENCE, OR FORENSIC
MEDICINE.
Neither Louisiana nor any other State can
challenge intelligent approval OF their laws
on the following subjects:
Medical Witnesses. at least three
particulars the laws generally are defective,
Tor they fail to adequately provide competent
physicians to act as ordinary witnesses to
medical facts, such as are derived from pro-
tessional examinations they fail most grossly
to provide that expert Witnesses to medical
opinions shall be furnished solely by veritabie
medical experts, and they fail to provide ade-
quate compensation for medical experts.
Further. the laws are defective as to the
insane, to inebriates, to poisoning. to
infanticide and criminal abortions, to the
viability Of the newborn infant, to protec-
tioa OF confidential communications by a
patient to his physician, and to malprac-
tice. brief consideration will be given such

Proceedings Of the Mass Meetino

In response to call of the Democratic
Central Committee of the parish, the Cit.
zens of the party assembled in Mass Meet.
ing at the Conrt- house on Saturday. Sen
TENDER 9th, l-79.
The meeting was called TO order h,
Judge j. {. Egan, and on his motion T. ID
Meadows was elected Chairman and N r
Bryan Secretary.
On motion Of Col. John $. Young Com
mittee on Resolutions was chosen cor,.
posed of one member from each ward a.

arose and spoke to the people fd snort
while. The DR. seemed very harse, ana
we were not close TO him, consequently We
beard but very little that he sale. But ne
see,red 10 be very earnest about what he
did say.
Judge J. c. Egsn, Assistant Attorney
General, was the next and last speaker
In the course Of his speech the Judge
spoke Of the immense quantity of money
that the Democratic party had saved the
State Of Louisiana since 1876. He spoke
in commenting terms Of the late Constr
tutional Convention and passed high
compliment on the constitution and spoke
favorable concerning the debt ordinance.
His speech was truly interesting, instruct
ing, and worthy the much praise that 1t
received at its close.
The Mass Meeting was largely attended
and perfect harmony prevailed. Some
warm, enthusiastic speeches were made
by different persons while voting on the
resolutions offered by the committee, but
in the very best of feelings. The minutes
of the meeting will be found IN another
column.
Now that our party has organized br
the campaign we would enjoin upon every
democrat TO abide the course adopted ia
this organization, for certainly there il
no good reason why We should divide ii
this campaign. II is true that this is {
State election and is disconnected from
National politics, but next year We will
hold an election for President and Con
gresham, and in great measure th'
success of our National struggle next veal
will depend upon our efforts in this STATE
election. So let every member. of tn
party stand firm and guard against di
vision.

Mass Meetinu.
ID. Il. II.

Last Saturday Was the day of the Dem
ocratic Mass Meeting for Claiborne. by
ii o'clock a large crowd had assembled
and all seemed to be- very busy in consult
ing with each other for some time before
the meeting was called. When the people
were invited into the Courthouse aud
everything was ready, I. D. Meadows of
ward was elected chairman Of the meet.
ing and NJ. 'Recs Bryan secretary. A
committee on resolutions WIS appointed,
and while II was out a call WAS made for
A. II. Payne, who went upon the speakers
stand and spoke for near one hour, telling
the people of his views and notions on the
new constitution, and spoke as though the
ordinance concerning the State debt did
not meet with his hearty appreciation. At
the close of his speech Mr. Payne said
that some of his own kiss and kindred"
had deserted the Democratic party and
were now calling themselves Greenbackers
for which he expressed himself to be ex-
cecdingly sorry. That he did not impugn
their motives, but thought that it was an
error Of the head and not of the heart. con.
sequcntly he would open wide the doors
of the Democratic party for them 10 come
back into the old ranks, plcdging himself
never TO throw the matter up to them
again if they would but return to the fold
This appeal was met with cheers from the
people, which showed that they too were
willing 10 forgive and tn forget the errors
of these once good Democrats. At this
juncture of Payne's speech one Of the
Grr-nback leaders showed his che,k and
walked forward TO the speakers stand as
though he would make a formal applica.
ton for membership back into the honor-d
old party. This. to our mind, was an evil
dence that he had not Lost all conscience
and under the pathetic appeals of Payne
the spirit went deep to its home aud
moved the erring brother to a sense Of his
duty and forced him 10 see his situation.
But when be had approached near the
speaker the pressure became too great, the
load was too heavy, he tottered under il.
and made only q conditional application
and now claims that the condition has not
been complied with-hence he is still
Greenbscker. We believe that the broth
er is on the stool of repentance. and before
this campaign closes Payne may have an
opportunity to kiss his kindred"
DR.. E. Il. LangfOrd being called for, be
