 Two hours later Herbert and Laurette sat together in Mrs. Mansfeld's cosey little drawing-room. Miss Lyon, look ing so young and pretty in her new found happiness that in Herbert's eyes she seemed the very Laurette of ten years ago, sat in low chair by the fire, with screen in her hand and her face turned toward her lover.
 And so you were unfortunate the first five years [" she said.
 Yes, so unfortunate and poor that sometimes I hardly knew how or when I should get my next meal. When things were steadily improving with me for rather more than a year, I wrote to you, but received no answer. waited 8 few months, and then wrote again, with the same result. Then waited six months, and wrote for the third time, and after awhile my own letter was returned to me with the single word Gone on it. You may imagine how disappointed I was. I made inquiries respecting you of all those likely to be acquainted with your movements, but all that I could learn was that your father was dead and that you had left the neighborhood. So I thought the best thing I could do was to work harder than ever, and return to England at the earliest possible moment and search for you myself :; and thank Heaven have found you." +l
 "And how strangely it came about, {" said Laurette, smiling. "Do you know I thought you were going to murder me at one time ?" and to his amusement, she told him of the fears that had possessed her.
 "I am so glad now that came to Bristol" returned Herbert. s'I was knocking about in London, putting all kinds of machinery in motion with the object of finding you-which, by the way, I must stop now, when I came across an Australian friend, who with his wife returned to England two years ago. He told me he had bought 8 house at Stoke Bishop and invited me to spend Christmas with them. A lonely old bachelor, staying at an hotel, was only too glad to accept his invitation. Arrived at Redland, I found there was no cab to be had on account of the slippery state of the roads, and so left my portmanteau at the Black Boy, intending..to ask my friend to send his gardner for it. And glad I am that did so, or I should never have met with this happy Christmas Adventure"
 On Christmas morning Herbers Lindsay found out his friends house, and explained the cause of his non appearance on the previous evening. A month later there was quiet wedding at Stoke Church, and after a few happy weeks on the Continent MT. and Mrs. Lindsay sailed for Australia. In due course Herbert showed to hif dear wife with infinite pleasure the comfortable, even luxurious home that he had worked so long and so hard to prepare for her.

coNsp1a1Na TO ROB HIS Wifi

CONSElRlNG ~ AUD his war;
A special to the Chicago Tribune
of Sunday from Kalamazoo, Mich,
srelates the following strange story
"Last night, between IL and II
O'clock, the residence of j. Ward
was broken iuto, and the burglars
going to the bed of Ward and bis
wife, drew revolvers and threatened
to shoot Mrs. Ward if she stirred or
uttered cry. They paid no atten'
ton to Mr.. Ward, who was quiet
during the proceedings. Mrs. Ward
Notwithstanding the threats and the
revolvers thrust in her face, sprang
up, and, running to the woodshed,
got an axe. Returning, che rushed
a. one Of the burglars and struck
him over the shoulders. The man
Jumped toward her as she struck, so
that only a portion of the blade Of the
axe touched him. While this was
going on the other burglar ran up
stairs to obtain The money which
was known to be in the house, and
Mrs. Ward states that her husband
informed the men where it was con-
cealed. He found under the mat
tress, in a bed, a pocket-book, and
with this they rushed out to make
their escape, which was now neces~
sary, as the noise had awakened the
neighbors. A police officer arriving
arrested Charles Delany, who has
since been Unidentified as one of the
burglars Ward and the other
burglar have not yet been found.
Mrs. Ward yesterday received
$3.50, and hid it in her bad, as she
was anxious to keep it out of her hus-
bands hands. He had entered into
a conspiracy with these men to come
as burglars to his house, the front
door of which he had left open for
them. Mrs. Ward, during the after
noon, had changed the place of con-
eealment, fearing that her husband
had learned where it was, which
seems to have been the case. The
burglar arrested had fresh wound
on his shoulder. |! seems to have
been a deliberate conspiracy be-
tween the husband and these men to
obtain the money and divide it.

The Empress E,sdenie's Suit against the
French Government.
London Times.
The Paris tribunal has given judgment on
the long pending and intricate dispute be-
tween the prince imperial and the state. It
holds that the prince is not bound to restore
in kind certain articles of furniture which
the civil list was bound to keep in good
condition, but will be free from liability on
this head on paying over 7O6,0OOf. The
Chinese museum at Fontanebleau is declared
the property of the state, some of the objects
having been presented by the army of the
empress. This was an act of courtesy, a
homage to the head of the state in the per-
son of the empress, and it is not shown that
any articles we're purchased by her until the
fact OF their being placed in palace made
them national property. The same ruling
applies to the armory at Pierrefonds. The
state relinquishes its claim to certain pic
lures placed in the Louvre without any in
tention of making them public property, and
and agrees to restore them; but other public
pictures possessed by the emperor on his &C
cession, and not thus expressly reserved,
passed to the state on the principles of de-
volution. As to the Sevres, Beauyals and
the Gobelina, the full value of the surplus
raw material found therein upon their re-
sumption by the state is to be paid to the

DURING the closing hours of the last Con-
gress Mr.. Morrison, of Illinois, submitted
new plan for the preparation of the appro-
priation bills, which will generally commend
itself to the country. It contemplates the
reference of all departmental appropriation
bills to the standing committees having
charge of the affairs relating to that depart
nent-the naval appropriation bill to the
committee on naval affairs, the army bill to
the committee on war department., etc. This
change is deemed necessary on account of
the impossibility of the appropriations COM
mittee giving that attention to the details of
all the bills which their Importance demands.
It has frequently happened that appropria-
lions have been granted to bureaus which
we're known to be extravagant, but there has
been no means of ascertaining in what d.
rection they could be reduced because of the
want of time in which to examine the work
ings of these bureaus. It is too much to
require a committee of eleven to be posted
as to every detail of the government, and
MIR. Morrison's proposition seems to be as
good one as any to overcome the difficulty.

plaintiff. Such manufactured articles,
moreover, as were not deposited for the pur-
pose of decoration, or as models, are to be
handed over to the claimant. AS to private
furniture the value is to be paid to the plain
tiff, minus per cent, per annum for de-
probation; but the state is not responsible
for partial loss caused by war or eircum-
stances beyond it's control. The princes
claim for repayment of the quota given by
the civil list toward the restoration of Pier
refonds is rejected, on the ground that that
castle is public property. So, too, with regard
to the snrn devoted by the emperor to altera-
tlons in the imperial pavilion at Chalons.
AS to Chatigneraye, the empress estate, she
agrees to abandon her rights for the sum of
1870 francs. Such of the emperor's rifles,
ETC., in the Tulleries as have been discovered
the state agrees to restore. The claim of
the state to the reimbursement of the civil
list for September, 1870, minus the proper
ton OF the first four days, is rejected, the
established principle being that the monthly
payments to the sovereign can not be frac-
toned In consideration of his not reigning
the entire month. Neither side having sus-
tanned its claim, two-thirds of the costs are
to be paid by the prince, and one-third by
the state.n

CASE brought to test the legality of the
Louisiana returning board was brought to
trial in New Orleans the other day, but dis
missed on technicality. AS yet, therefore,
there is no judicial determination of whether

however, whether the courts decide one way

4 HOWARD UNIYERSITy srr.1.


nice little steal crept into tho sundry
civil service appropriation bill in the last
days of the session. Several conferences
had been held upon the various amend
ments, and when the bill had finally passed
and was engrossed, it was found that there
was an appropriation of ten thousand dollars
for the Howard university. No one seems
to know how the appropriation became at
tached to the bill. It was not on the orig
inal act, nor was it attached as an amend
ment in regular form. The manner of its
appearance after the passage of the bill is a
mystery which no one at present can solve.
1t IS thought it must have got upon the bill
through one or more of the members of the
conference committees, for the engrossing
clerks could scarcely take it upon themselves
to perpetrate SO glaring fraud.
The history of the Howard university is
we'll known to the reading public. It was
started in the height of the fervor for negro
education towards the close of the war, and
received a princely endowment from the
general government. When the Freedman 8
bank bubble exploded it was found that the
affairs of the university had been shamefully
mismanaged, it's substance squandered and
stolen, and that as an educational institution
it was an unmitigated fraud. It's protector
and conductor, Gen. o. 0. Howard, was
compromised seriously in the dishonesty
that seemed to have been all-prevading, and
only escaped conviction on his trial by court
martial through favoritism worked up by the
religious element and by the ultra partisans
who then controlled affairs. Though &C.
quilted nominally, he has rested ever since
under q moral conviction, and the govern
ment from that time withdrew its support
from the institution, we'll knowing that to
appropriate money for that purpose would
be worse than pouring it into rathole.
Weare glad to learn that this little scheme
of theft is likely to fail of accomplishment.
The commissioners of the District of Column
bia have positively refused to issue war
wants under the appropriation unless
compelled to do so by man
damus from the courts. If this is attempted
the public may get at the true inwardness of
this affair-by whom the appropriation was
inserted and for what reason. OF one thing
the public is satisfied: That no more money
ought to be expended upon an institution of
such worthless character. The payment,
therefore, of this despicable steal ought to
90 resisted to the last extremity.

Bon INGERsoLL regards the pres
ent as an exceedingly critical time,
not simply or mainly for the Repub-
lican party, in a partisan point OF
view, but for the country, in con-
temptation of the fact that Demo-
cratic rule would be the ascendency
in our national politics of the south.
He regards the situation in Louisiana
now as most significant warning
to the American people. Two years
ago the Democrats took complete
possession of the Government of
that State, protesting that the bull
doing required to secure that ascen-
dency was necessary to the business
interest Of the state. What has been
the result? To-day there is not a
bank in that State having 81 of cap
ital which is not either in absolute
bankruptcy or a state of suspension.
Not a man in that State, however
large bis bank account, can draw
out more than 5000. This state of
affairs was brought about mainly by
the reputation policy of the Louis
lana Democrats.
