A few handfuls of gypsum or plaster,

more. She couldn't oppose US always.
She has only tried to frighten you by
talking as she has done. | know IL; |
am sure Of 1t; but you will not believe
me, and insist upon all this because in a
moment of excitement you gave fool
ish promise. / say it is better to break
than TO keep such a promise. Once
more ask you to be my wife, and trust
to me to manage this business with my
mother. Will you?" And the young
man stopped before her once more and
waited in breathless suspense, while the
fair face before him was bowed in dis
tress. and the slender white hands were
nervously clasping each other.
She tried TO speak calmly, but her
voice seemed choking her, and she could
only whisper;
"I cannot"
The young man grasped his hat, and
turning away, said, in a hoarse voice:
81 see have been mistaken. You do
not love me. / have been a miserable
fool. But 1 will not trouble you any
more. If you ever need help, for the
sake Of our old friendship, let me know
it,"
He could not trust himself to clasp her
hand in parting, so he moved slowly to
the door, feeling as if youth, hope and
happiness were all left behind. He laid
bis hand on the door, and turned for one
last look and goodbye, but started at
though he could scarcely believe his
eyes. There, almost touching him,
stood Elinor, her hands clasped, her
eyes, full OF unshed tears, timidly raised
to his with look of tender reproach,
mingled with unutterable affection. He
gazed like one in dream for a moment;
but that look was not to be misunder-
stood, and, almost overcome with sud
den excess Of joy, he clasped her close in
his arms, feeling that earth could offer
him no greater bliss. He did not think;
he only felt, and wished dreamily that
they were alone on some fair South Sea
isle, out OF the cruel world, with only
the soft plash OF the Summer waves in
their ears, only the evergreen foliage
aud the blue arch above them, and the
faithful sea guarding them ever from in
trusion.
They stood thus, 'fn silence too deep
for words" a few moments, aud then
Elinor's voice, low and sweet, reused
her lover from his dreams.

A buried Forest.

1t has been recently discovered hal an

PARIS, Jan. 800 P. NJ.
Gen. MacMahon has resigned the Presi-
dency Of the Republic. Congress hes been
convoked for 6 o'clock this evening. The
election Of M. Grevy to the Presidency ap-
pears certain-all groups Of the Left be-
ing in accord on this point. The police
and military authorities have taken some
formal precautions. A statement is made,
but lacks confirmation, that at a dinner on
Wednesday night 200 Generals approved
MacMahon's conduct. LA Republique
Franchise" Gambetta's organ, says: There
is no possible doubt about the issue of the
pending struggle. The only matter ad-
hitting Of difference Of opinion IS, whether
this state Of crisis shall continue or not.
Personal power may be definitely buried
from this day, and the moment this is pos

Mahon leaves LIE Palais d'Elysee at noon

resignation.
VERSAILLES, Jan. 80.
President MacMahon's letter Of resig-
nation says: That being in disagreement
with the Ministry, and beng hopeless of
forming another Cabinet, and unwilling
to assent to measures which he regards as
contrary to the good Of the army organi-
cation, he withdraws from power.
At . meeting Of the Bureau of the Left,
Gambetta proposed Grevy for President,
which was unanimously approved. Presi-
den MacMahon asked the Ministers to
countersign his letter OF resignation, but
they refused, declaring that the letter was
merely a personal act.

TIE hard times and suffering among the
laboring people in England have led to a
more careful examination into strikes and
troubles between labor and capital. Dur
ing 1877 there were 191 strikes on the
island of Great Britain. Last year there
was q greater number. Mathematicians
have demonstrated that if all the people
who engaged in these strikes were to work
uninterruptodly for the next ten years, at
the advanced wages for which they struck,
they would not recoup themselves for the
losses they sustained during these twelve
months.

The Secretary Of War recently furnished
the House Military Committee with a state
ment showing that the strength OF the
army, both officers and men, from 1883 to
1894, was about $500. From that time to

1918 it increased to $4,000, in consequence
Of the wal with Great Britain, and in the
next year to 3S, 1S6. For 1915 it was 49,
4s4. For 1916 it fell to $1,000, and in 1s47
increased to 81, 6s6, falling in the following
years, until 1854, to an average of about
10, $780,. From 1852 to 1864 the usual an

Mr.. Geo. W. Baker aud Mr.. Dav. E.
Baily were members from Eureka county
of the last Legislature. The same railroad
evils that are now complained of existed
then. This fact, coupled with the further
fact that neither Of the gentlemen attempt
ed anything at that time calculated to better
matters, is subjecting them to considera-
BILE adverse criticism throughout the State.
The bullion tax fight absorbed only the
last few days Of the session. Possibly both
Of the gentlemen are sincere in their pres
emit attitude towards the railroads, but it
Is, to say the least, q little unfortunate for
the peoples cause that they did not act
when in position to do so. There are
those who will make capital out OF their
present attitude with reference to the mo-
nopolists, as the mere blather OF disap-
pointed ambition. Those Of us who are
acquainted with them, OF course, know
better, but the minions Of the railways are
quick TO seize upon anything to make q
point against the people.
