blow soft and fragrant, and the lying
love that wet his lips down by the
Florentine water side"
The drawing, negligent and a'isto'
cratic step OF a young man who ap-
preached the door did not disturb the
Iistless expression of the enraged beau
ty. and as he entered she motioned him
to seat.
"And have you come, BERTHE z" she
inquired hiding the spasmodic flash of
the old love-lght that, tor a moment,
shrouded her eyes.
81 have come, Gwendolin," he re-
sponded, kissing her impassive hand.
"How's things ?"

"IndiferentIy, BiItie," she answered
with smile that momentarily cIoaked

"BuSy," replied the Young man, III
the soft, low, melting tones that only
breeding can bequea,h.
The young girl arose and stood before
him. From her shoulders draped the
ghos,Iy mantles of centuries OF brave
ancestors. In her eyes lurked the rage
of catacombs full of men who had died
without winking.
sLlsfen, Bertie,'' she said in voice
of suppressed passion 'syou have de-
ceiyed me you make engagements
with me hundreds of miles apart and
fail to come. BERTHE, do you love me?'
The yourg man Eesitated.

feet behind the horse
"Now, Toto, now !" she exclaimed
and with roar ofrage the horse shot
ont his hind legs-hind legs that had
descended through years Of training,
through generations of Arabian steeds.
The deadly hoois caught the young
man in the stomach. He flew back to
where the tiger stood with widely
extended jaws.
At the window the young girl sat
once more looking INTO the tomb OF
her past, but no regret clouded the
golden haze of the memories. Up from
the jasmine and heliotrope swept the
summer perfume, bringing to her, per-
haps, some of the recollections Of the
valley of the Decameron when the red
lilies blushed even deeper cardinal as
she wandered among them bringing
to her, perhaps, some faint remembrance
of the Red Lions eyes as they gazed
pitifully into hers one dark Nenitlan
night while she waited in a window
looking for the footsteps that made nc
marks upon the marble quay bringing
to her, it may be, reminiscence of the
shadows that tloated to her across the
bay OF Naples, as its waters kissed he,

Democratic authority.

The Sunday Capttal, Washington,
D. c., Dcnn Piatt, editor, though out
and-out democratic, says of the recent
attempt in the New York San and
other newspapers to slander Gen. Gar
field:
Gen. Garfield, personally considered,
is singularly pure and upright, He is
one of the few men in public life who
can look his beautiful little wife and
lovely children in the tace without
shame. We say this advisedly, for we
have known Garfield intimately all his
public life, and we can advise the mud
machines called the partisan press that
attempts at blackening Garfe!d'> char
acter will be signal failures, and will be
met by protests from such eminent dem
ocrats as the Hons. jeremiah Black
Allen Thurman, and Justice Field, who
have already put themselves on record
in his behalf Garfield's purity is SO
thorough that it gives him a perilnus
confidence in men, and has gotten him
into trouble precisely as a contiding
boy gets INTO scrapes. In that Credit
Mobilier affair, for example, we know
aud have so testified, tina: at the very
time it was claimed he was scheming
to enrich himself through Ames' rascal
ity, he was ''shinning about Washing
ton etriying TO borrow $500 to pay
house rent" and SO ignorant of the
| commonest financial process THAT he dad
not know how to negotiate All or
dinary note OF hand. He had not only
lived in the open air, but has occupied
positions where, like other Leaders, ne
could have winked himself into mil.
lions lie holds to-day the honored
position of being the only poor mai

THE LESSON FROM MAINE.

The New York Herald has this t
say Of the Maine election, which vii
apply more forcibly to some demo.
cratic leaders in Tennessee after the
November election
The result in Maine shows once
more that this country is not owned
by the politicians, but by the people
The Maine republican leaders are
strong MIN and able manipulators
They have held the state iu their
grasp for more than a quarter ola cen
fury, and they had come to consider
1t their " their properly. When
the people saw this, they determined
TO assert their own proprietorship
that is all. 1t is a way the American
people have; it is a trick they have
often played their political masters
| Whenever in any state the domi-
naut political leaders draw the
reins too tightly. away goes the
state out of their grip. It is
a very useful lesson, but it has to be
repeated frequently by way of moder-
ating the zeal Of the so-called states.

also that it is very hard for the politi

THE BAsG1Ne MARKET.

The annual production Of bagging
in this country, according to the best
authorities, is $4,000 pieces, or q,
800, 600 yards, and estimating the cot
ton crop of the present year at about
the same as last, or 5.575,0OO bales,
with 6 yards for each bale, it will re-
Quire 1880, 600 yards to cover it.
Manufacturers claim that the present
visible supply, aided by the probable
production between this and January
LIST next, will be inadequate to the de.
mand by nearly 100000 yards, which
must be imported from abroad. The
stock on hand ten days ago wa set
down at 10000 half pieces, or about
one months supply. A recent num-
Der Of Cotton, a New York weekly
journal devoted to the interests Of
cotton dealers and planters, says bag
ging of late has had a very close mar
gin, but with prices advanced to II
cents, mills would push and run nights,
and a rise of DC per yard is expected by
some manufacturers, owing to several
mills having begun night-work, which
entails increased expense. Orders
having been placed ahead, however,
and mills must necessarily meet them.
The production Of bagging, says the
same authority, has been considerably
less this year han last, despite the
low condition Of the stock, caused by
the heavy consumption of last year.
The condition Of the market at the
present time is one Of great strength,
and within the past week prices have
advanced from ] to &c. per pound on
all grades. Round lots to the trade
now sell here at 10ic. for II h., ll5c.
for II h., III to 119c. for 1t b., and
II to l2tc. for 2 h., jute, or India;
while standard fax, in round lots, il
101c. Reports Of the condition Of the
market at all points of production are
that the feeling is toward higher
prices. An advance has also been an.
ticipated in iron ties for several days
nast.
