tainty as he had supposed that she was
lady.
Besides" said Maud, with a little
gentle triumph, "a girl like that may
walk like lady and dress like lady.
She has got to be among ladies most
OF her time, and to see the best people.
Unless you talked to her and found
she dropped her his, or had vulgar
Ideas, how could you tell? Indeed,
sometimes they talk even, just as nice
ly as we do" said the young lady,
more just than many of her kind.
This seemed to make an end of the
question. Atleast Edmund could find
no more to say; and Lady Beresford,
who had observed the long and inter
estlng conversation in which he had
been engaged with Maud, gave him a
still kinder smile than usual when she
bade him goodnight.

RARA AvIs.-In the early days of
California it was the custom of miners
who desired to make "remittances"
through the express to receive from
the, express company coined gold in
exchange for nuggets and 'dust."
This business was done on Saturday
evenings in little shanty, near which,
unfortunately, there was almost al
ways another, devoted to gambling,
where many an unlucky miner lost
his all: One Saturday evening dark
Vlsaged, morose man sat in one of the
offices OF the express company, looking
as IT he had not only lost all his mon
ey, but every friend he ever had. The
door suddenly opened, and in walked
a hardy-looking young miner, wear
ing pleasant, cheerful face, and with
a brisk and business-like manner.
Stepping to the plank which formed
the counter, he deposited his dust"
took his coin, and was about to go,
when, turning again to the clerk, he
said: II think you made nSstake in
settling with me last week."
No, | didn't" answered the clerk,
sharply; ''it's all right"
We'll, perhaps it is, retorted the
miner; but [ know that you gave me
forty dollars too much, and" tossing
out a couple of double eagles, he add
ed: here's your money"
The morose man, who had been an
attentive listener, rose slowly, moved
toward the honest young miner, laid
his hand kindly upon his shoulder,
and looking into his face, said:
- Dung man, don't you feel awful
lonesome in this country?"

regular democratic electoral ticket will carry
that state.
Hon. A. G. Riddle and Mr.. F. Miller will

day evening next.
The Richmond correspondent Of the New
York Times wlites that the republicans have
not ghost OF chance OF Carrying Virginia:
that they have no organization and no means
OF OF paying the poll tax, which disfranchlses
10000 OF their voters.
The greenbackers of the first Connecticut
Congressional district have nominated Geo. ".
Hewitt for Congress, and the republicans OF the
l4th pennsylvania district have nominated
Samuel +. Barr.
The Vicksburg MISSY Herald deny think,
that. rather than allow the reelection OF Ack
len, OF Louisiana, the democrats OF his d.strlc5
should vote for the republican candidate.
According to the estimate OF the Little Rock
Alk.l Gazette (den) the majority against the
repudiating amendment in that state is between
6,OoO and 10000 votes.
