Mr.. Bslford's speech was delivered
from manuscript. He declared that on
which Congress was now engaged the
President might yield, but the Rspub-
lican party never. He characterized
the Democratic party of the North as
cowaraly and trsitorous, and warned
the South against relying on it. All
that the Republican party asked of the
South was respect for the Jaws Of the
country. They had been told that the
Confederates had or. ssed the Potomac
and seized the capital, but the SJutk-
ern pendulum would swing back, and
in 1880 the Democratic party would
return 10 the rear as it had done in the
past.
He was followed on the same side
by Mr.. Humphreys Of Wisconsin, who
also read from manuscript.
HMuldrow, of Mississippi, expressed
his establishment at the means en-
ployed by the gentleman from Ohio
(Mr. Garfield), few days ago. to make
party capital out of the pending quee-
ton. That gentleman, standing on
his record, had attempted to m ske tie

When "Thap Stevens was a young

once lost his case by what he considered
a wrong ruling Of the Judge. Disguised,
he banged his law books on the table,
picked up. his hat, and started for the
door with some vigorous words in his
mouth. The Judge feeling that his dig

said: "Mr. Stevensp Mr.. Stevens

I have only very few words Of epi-
logue to add to this narration. When,
not long afterwards, l took my wedding
tour, Imade point of seeking the Swiss
valley, where Louise was to be found.
remember the place so we'll. It lies far
from any direct road. Travellers who
wished to shorten their journey found a
bridle-road, which connected pass with
pass. 1t was the usual scene. The
densely built little village, the narrow,
darkened pathway, the church with the
open door, the deep cool fountain spring
ing up by the wayside, the forests Of
chestnut and oak climbing up the noun
tain slopes; and far away, above the SOL
emn pines, the glacier and the snow-clad
mountain peaks. In this little village
found Louise living with her husband 8
mother in the deepest poverty. He had
given her nothing. She lived by what
she could earn; and she could earn little
for herself and babe. Her villain of a
husband had managed by many threats
to get her banished to this forlorn spot.
Her greatest grief seemed removed when
1 repeated to her his statement that she
was really his wife. The truth of this
statement I had no means of verifying,
and did not care to verify it; enough
that it was satisfactory to her own mind.
My wife and l had the great happiness
of taking her home with us, and restor-
ing her to her mother.

but, monsieur, you will leave me to

took no notice of his appeal, but
went on:
"WOuld you mind telling me, mon
sieur, as matter Of literary information,
whether these means and methods of
poisoning have really any existence in
the present dayw
He smiled grimly, and said grimly:
Il could have poisoned you all when
you were dining here, and not single
carcass of the lot would have showed one
trace. l rather wish had"
And here this singular conversation ter
minated. made pretense that / was
unwell, and returned on foot to my
friends house, which was less than two
miles off. My excuses were more readily
received because my thorough inability
to enjoy the feast had been noted. All
the way back l was busily engaged in
thinking how l could best turn to account
the extraordinary revelations l had re-
ceived.
Mr.. Dunno returned much earlier than
l had expected. "It is curious that you
had not gone very long before M. Bert
rand was taken ill. Before you left we
were obliged to support him upstairs"
The next day l returned to town. A
few days later received the astonishing
information that M. Bertrand was dead.
He never again came down from the
room to which they had borne him.
The so-called Madame Bertrand disap-
peared very shortly afterwards. 1t was
discoverd that the Bertrands were very
much in debt, and no attempt was ever
made to settle matters.
Nothing ever came out that he died
from other than natural causes, after a
few days illness. But remembering how
complete was my detection of the man,
how depraved and desperate his charac-
ter, how bitter the disappointment to his
ruling passion of..display, dark suspi-
cion has at timascrossed my mind that,
by some of those modes of poisoning
which he seemed to know SO well, he had
put an end to his own existence. Of
course it is great shock to think that
you may Indirectly have been the cause
of a fellow creature putting an end to his
existence, but do not see how could
have acted differently Indeed, l acted
for the best; and if things were to come
over again, I should do the same thing
second time.

Our Sykesville Correspondent writes In
your sport Of the Tfi-SAte Tournament at
the Centennial grounds, Phiadelphin, in a
recent issue, you do not give fall list of the
knights from Carroll. They were Charles
Pearce, VIM. d. Pearce John r. pearce.
Basil Belts, Samuel Shipley. James Hewitt
A. J. Dongherty and Benz. b. Gorsuch. Two
OF these, Cnas. PeRree and Basil Belts, were
successful The former is well known in Car.
roll county as an accomplished and skilful
tournament rider, only seventeen years of age,
aud IS recognized as the champion Of Carroll.
The latter is a 500 Of Thos j. Belts, of Wood.
binei IS scarcely twenty years of age, and
measures six feet three inches. He wore the
frontier suit and carried an immense lance,
and as he charged through the arches, erect
IN his siirrups, we felt proud of our young
giant The riding of all the Carroll county
boys was excellent, and won well deserved
applause, Samuel Shipey, who rode in con
tinental suit, was the subject OF much remark,
for his graceful riding, and although not as
successful as some with the lance, he prOba
bly, captured more fair maids than any other
knight in the lists. The knights spent a full
week in Philadelphia aud enjoyed themselves
IN various ways, probably the skating rink in
the Main Building afforded them as much
pleasure MS any other amusement. Here you
could find them every evening, each one with
fair damse, who was modestly teaching
them the pleasant paslime of skating on rol
lcrs. The tournament was gotten Up by Mr..
John 7. Ford and Major Harry Gilmor The
Knights propose giving them a complimenta.
ry tournament in Baltimore sometime next
month

The DR0UGHT IN THE WEsT.--The
Ohio river is now lower, it is said. than il
has been for % years, aud il has deal of
capacity to get very low on slight proyoca-
ton, At any number Of points il can be
easily forded- Navigation Is wcll.nleh
suspended, and between Pittsburg and
Louisville freight is piled up ia many places
on the banks, waiting for the rise, which
1t has been predicted by the weather-wise,
will not come this season. Scarcely boat
oil any kind is to be seen on the upper part
of the stream, it it still may be called such.
The Ohio has not had water enough since
July for the transportation of coal from
Pittsburg to Cincinnati, and the latter city
has been suffering for feel. The price Of
coal has more than doubled, and there IS
so little on hand that people will have to
renew their supplies through the railways,
which will advance the rates much more.
Any quantity of coal is awaiting in fat
boItomed vessels at Pittsburg to float down
as the river shall have risen. Some %.
100000 bushels are reported to be at that
point, more than has ever been aecumula-
ted there. Portland Bar, at the Falls of
the Ohio, is now an island Of very consid-
cradle size, and the Falls themselves look
like an archipelago, The Ohio would be,
as has been said Of the Arno, quite re-
spectacle river, if some more water we're
pumped into it. 1t seems to get shallower
and shallower every year, aud some per-
sons Ia the West have seriously proposed
to fill it up aud convert ii into highway.
