We notice. that Hon. Benz Wilson, mem.
Der uf Congress. from the Clarksburg Dis
trict, ". Va, has secured an appropria-
ton, or favorable report from the Com
mittee, of $40 900 for public building at
Wilsonburg,i in that district. We DO not know
where this town is located. 1t may be a
change of the name of Clarksburg, or il
may be new commercial centre located on
of the one forks of the Potomac, in Harrison
county. Wherever it may be and whatever its
dimensions, the favorable action of the Com.
mittee shows what can be done by an &C.
tive, wideawake representative. Couldn't
Staunton reasonably come in for favor OF
this kind

The charter for the Baltimore, Cincin-
natl and Western Railroad, has passed the
Senate OF Virginia. The proposed road will
cross Frederick county, the only territory OF
Virginia it will touch, and accommodating
several mineral sections, in W. Va, draw
the trade thereof to Baltimore. A compel
ing line OF improvement is that from Fred
ericksburg TO Orange c. e., now running,
thence to Harrisonburg, and by way OF
North River Gap in this county, through
Highland, Pocahontas, and to the intersec-
ton of the Pittsburg Southern Road, in
Tygrat's Valley, Randolph county. This
road would accommodate large and fertile
portion of Virginia, and as the main trunk
line, reaching into the centre Of the min
eral fields Of West Virginia, would draw the
business developed by its construction. We
notice that Senator Sherrard, of the Book.
bridge district, was particularly prominent in
supporting the first scheme, which cannot
benefit any other portion Of Virginia than
Frederick county, while he has not brought
his mind to the removal of restrictions which
prevent the Valley Railroad from pushing
through two of the counties of his district
1t was our purpose to discuss the schemes to
which reference is made, but we have not
the space this week. We may do so here
after if the necessity occurs.

Another Nut for Mr.. Tucker to Crack

An intelligent and influential constituent
OF Mr.. Tucker-a democrat, or conservative,
who has always supported him-is very out
spoken on the tariff question. He says Mr..
Tucker must either vote to represent the in
terest of his district on this subject, or get
out of the way OF some one who will. He
thinks it monstrous that Virginia Congress
men should so farsmisapprehend the prac-
tical interests Of the State, as to still adhere
to the obsolete notions of free trade, held in
times of slavery, and when manufactur-
ing enterprises were not thought of in the
South. This gentleman remarked to us that
the timehad come TO drop party machinery
as leverage to compel men TO vote against
their convictions and interests-that sound
currency and healthy tariff law, for the en-
enlargement of industrial pursuits were far
more important to Virginia than any party
organization merely as such, and that the
s'woods was iull' of Democrats who intend
ed to vote for men because OF their princi-
pies, rather than because OF their Identified
ton with a party name that represents moth
ing but reaction, partizan prejudice and sec-
tional pig.hes dedness.
Mr.. Tucker and Mr. Harris, especially,
win please make a note ofsthis.

The Baltimore american Of the 10th re-
ports extraordinary activity in the building
line in that city. All the carpenters there
are employed, and good demand exists for
additional first-class workman in That trade.
Labor of all kinds is in demand, and indeed
great scarcity exists in laborers. This is the
report that comes from all the cities and
towns OF the country. east and west. A
general business "boom'' has come. and all
branches Of nee hanism and commercial en-.

that meant beggary, for Smith would
certainly refuse to recommend the man
who had so grieved his daughter. In
this case he might go wandering about
for years in search of work-unable to
save money-for Yves had no conf
dence now in his own abilities.
Liszen would have to wait till she
grew old and faded; perhaps he might
never be able to claim her. We'll,
then he was doing no wrong to Lis
zen; he must write and tell her all
that had happened; perhaps things
had changed with her also; he could
never confess to Eileen the love he
still felt for the sweet Breton girl;
but Eileen would die if he forsook her.
His lower nature reminded him of the
position offered him as Smiths part
ner and son-in-law; it also whispered
that Eileen was beautiful; the love he
had seen in her eyes rose up before
him.
''She said she must have died if |
had not loved her. | cannot grieve
her; it is good of her-so sweet-to
stoop to me-she who might marry
any one" he thought. No, it is my
fate-l must marry Eileen, and | must
try to forget Liszen."

pealingly from Mr. Smith to his
daughter, but no words would come
to help him.
The clockmaker slapped him on the
shoulder.
Never mind thanks he said; "you
can pay those to Eileen-kiss me, my
darling" He bent down over the
blushing girl, then as a slight sound
caught his ears-'Bedad! Yves, there s
a customer in the shop waitin' for yer
Yves found a sudden power of
speech. He turned to Mr.. Smith, and
drawing him away from Eileen, he
began to explain himself in a low,
hurried voice. He tried to tell how
he had only meant to console Eileen,
that herhaps his words were not
what he meant to say, and that she
had mistaken his meaning; but in his
agitation he spoke chiefly in French,
and Mr.. Smith only laughed and
shook his head.
There, there, it's all right, me fine
fellow. Go into the shop, or may be
the gentleman ii tire Of waitin' for
ye, and we shall lose a customer" he
said patiently.
Yves gave a despairing look and
went
Eileen came timidly up to her faith
er. What was Yves saying to We,
papa?" she asked.
Nothing We need throuble yer
purity head for, me darlin','' said the
delighted clockmaker. 'By the pow
ers, the boy is the soul of honor; he
was fur akin me pardon for spakin'
to We before he'd axed lave of yerr
father. I'm gettin' on with my French,
we see, Eileen achree! I shall soon be

CHATTER VIII.

Yves was too busy with his custo-
mer, and with his work which was
wanted at once, to give time to re-
Election before the family met at din
ner-time. Then he hesitated; he
could not make up his mind to face
Eileen.
Mr.. Smith met him at the parlor-
door and shook hands with him
Come, me boy" he said, dinners on
table, and I've a word to say before
we fall to. You've made me this day
the happiest fellow alive" Tears
were glistening in his sunken eyes.
I've often felt down-hearted about
me little girl. l so feared her choice
mightn't be mine about a husband;
and if she'd had the pick Of the coun-
try she couldn't have pleased me more.
You ought to be a proud and happy
man too" He slapped Yves's should
er. Look at her; look at your lit
tie girls face; it's like sunshine"
Yves raised his eyes, for his head
had sunk on his breast with confu-
sion; and there was Eileen blushing
radiant with joy, her brown eyes rails
ed to his in timid, trusting love.
Yves felt choked. The words he
had got ready-words which h.
thought must make his meaning clear
died away. Mechanically he went
forward and took the seat placed for
him beside her, for till now he had
always sat on the opposite side of the
table. As he sat down. Eileen put
her hand softly in his. and it seemed
to the unhappy Yves that this mute
caress sealed his doom.
Mr.. Smith noticed his silence: but
then Yves was always quiet, and the
clockmaker thought to himself, Love
is so different with different men that
there's no saying what it lays hold of
in 'em. Bedad! it's laid a fast hold on
the boys tongue, and Eileen II have
to unloose it for him. Ye can take
holiday, the pair ON ye," he said.
You should take him down to the
river, Eileen. Leith woods are in full
glory, for the leaves have turned
early"
Yves felt stupefied; with the IA
talistic spirit of his people he believed
tnaC In1S doom was SenG MIN, ana
that he must yield to it.
Eileen was soon ready, and as she
came down dressed in her most be-
coming bonnet, Yves thought she was
piettier than ever. The poor fellow S
heart was so tender that he rejoiced in
the change he saw in the sweet face.
Eileen was very dear to him as a
friend, though it seemed a treason to
think of her in any other way.
The sun shone out propltiously on
the lovers as they walked for some lit
tie way in silence At last Eileen
: looked up with bright smile, and
found Yves's eyes fixed on her face
: This gave her confidence.
DO you know, dearest Yves" sht
: sa-l softly, THAT | thought you die
