She found that Laura had come out of
the room so agitated, that Mrs. Beckett,
the housekeeper, had made her lie down,
and was now sitting with her.
Pauline took the housekeeper's place
beside her friend, and in short time
Laura fell asleep. AS Pauline sat there
watching the white childish face of the
girl she pretended to love, her brain was
full of wicked and envious thoughts
Laura was already rich, she was poor,
and yet to her who had already so much
the great Vanwrit property had just been
given. She envied her the handsome
| lover, with whom she was herself more
than half in love. and whom, hitherto, she
had not been without hope of winning
away from Laura.
Suddenly, as she sat there, the deep
silence was broken by the sound of some
| commotion In the house---she heard steps
and excited voices. &.
"What can 1t be, - she wondered. ''Mr.
| Vanwrit must be worse.''
She sat listening some moments. then
rose softly. Laura was still sleeping.
Pauline succeeded in opening the door
without disturbing her, and stole out into
the hall. From the landing she could see
the servants below hurrying about with
awestruck looks.

seized her. She watched her chance, and.

The Democratic leaders now profess
to approve the results of the war they
approve of emancipation they approve
OF the amendments they approve OF
resumption. They oppo.ed all these
things until they were accomplished
facts. Now they say that they are
glad that they are accomplished facts.
That means, of course, that they are
glad that their own party was defeated
when it opposed them. And that means
they are glad they were defeated in
every Presidential election since 1860.
After being defeated again next mouth,

There is nothing in the range of intel.

interest or creates so much sympathy us the
efforts of a young girl in the line OF profess

has been thorough and systematic, and conse.
quently, seconded by her innate ability, her
success is pronounced and beyond question
The ready willingness with which Miss Lewis
has rendered her services In every good cause
for some time past induced her friend. to
tender her complimentary benefit at the Con.

Central National Bank aud the Bank of WASH

coal merchants against George T. Langley and

settlement made by Langley upon his wife
in the face of his own debts. In 1870 Langley
settled piece Of property located on q street,
between Ninth aud Tenth streets, worth about
$1,000. Langley then owned three houses at
the corner of Tenth street and Massa-
chusotts avenue, and owed $500, of
which $4,000 was due TO the Bank of Wash.

his wife he mOrtgaged his three houses on

bIassach usetts avenue houses were sold for
$4,000, though his Indebtedness was about
S15 600 more than that sum. Suits were en-
tered against him and Judgments obtained by
his principal creditors, and about year ago
the SUIT decided yesterday was entered, askin

Miss Annie b, Irish has prepared series of
eight papers upon the history and progress Of
literature from tho time of Dante to that of
Spencer. Two of them have already been
read before the Washington Female Seminary,
and have attracted considerable attention and
warm commentator on account of the wide
range taken by the essayist, the careful study
and extensive research taken in their prepare.
ton and the close and discriminating judg.
ment used in the analysis of the influence
upon their own and subsequent ages of the
lives and writings Of tho authors selected for
example and criticism, Those which ARE to
