ah, l fear you will miss everything now

he will rove from and forget you! 1t is

marriages never turn out we'll. You

The girl uttered the one sad monosyl-
liable, and said no moro.
And now tho time was flying. Cap.
tain Sommers she expected daily, for he
said be would return to her in less than
month. She finally brought herself
to write to him, and told him whst hal
happened. He made no reply.
This added psng. She saw plainly
what it would be. He could not pro.
vide for her adequately. Such . sup.
port Is he could afford her-snd which
she would have gladly accepted, sweet,
If shared with him-he would not offer.
She must find q home in Florids, with
some of her mothers unknown rela-
tions, and they would drift apart finally
forever. Aunt Resolve was right.
A storm set in. Day by day tho rain
beat about the house, and the sighing
of the wind filled the girls heart with
dread.
At last there came letter from her
guardian. It ran as follows:
"MY DEAR ApELA1DE-I have been
unusually fortunate in finding the right
full owner Of the jumpers. He will make
bis appearance there Thursday, after
which will SEQ you at an early day.
LUTHER MEssENGKR."
Not word Of sympathy or regret,
It seemed to Adelaide Us if all the world
had suddenly turned her enemy.
And still another day the storm held.
The Jumpers tossed in tho rainy wind,
and the wild air had voices of cruel sig-
nifcance. Or was Adelaide's mind giv.
ing way under troubled She had 30
anticipated such a farreaching result
that she seemed alleady deep in years OF
suffering.
Alone, on mournful evening she was
suddenly electrified by coarse voice de-
manding:
"Where is this ERE woman that's been
a.keepin' me out of my lawful rights2
1just want to set my eyes on her."
Was her home to go to such peoplei Her
heart sank;but tho heavy step came on.
Suddenly the door was flung open, and,
smilingly, there stood Captain sommers.
Dearest, l have GOMEZ"
He caught her hands and drew her to
her feet. She uttered cry of delight,
then broke into sobbing sigh as she
felt herself olasped to his breast.
"Ob, only to part, my beloved" she
cried.

master Of the jumpers. Byyour grand.

Gen William w. Belknap. who was

approached a groupe of federal officers
and others who were engaged in dis
cussing the nomination in one of the

Gen. Belknap mentioned publicly
that one of the Iowa delegation, who
supported Blaine, had telegraphed
him as follows: "Conkling has made
the greatest effort of his life, and we
have nominated Garfield"
Gen. Belknap replied. "Yes. And

The Lnst Romh of the WAR.

A correspondent of the Bolivar
Bulletin, writing from Van Buren,,
Tenn, June I, says
There was an old bomb shell lying
around here, a relic of the late I'm.
pleasantness, that had been kicked
and knocked about the yard and played
with by the children for several years
as if there was no harm in it. At last
a couple of boys got hold of it and
concluded they would see what was in
it. So they went to work to bore into
it. They failed to accomplish the de-
sired effect, but succeeded in getting a
small hole into the hollow, perhaps
the old touch hole or fuse hole. The
hole being too small to get anything
out they took the shell to a ditch and
put it in there and poured a load or
two of powder down by the touch
hole and put a slow match to it and
retreated to a safe distance to await
results. They were not kept waiting
long before it went off like a clap Of
thunder and raised such a cloud of
smoke and dust as to make one think
OF days gone by when such reports
we're OF frequent occurrence.

THE WICKED OLD GAR.
Why The Late Empress Of the
RussiaJ was Jealous.

New York Herald
1t is a settled conviction of the en-
courage of the Emperor Alexander,
and is generally believed at the court,
that the czar will soon marry mOrga-
n~atically the Princess Dolgorouky, by
whom he has three children, and who
is living with him at TsakOe Seloe.
When the explosion took place at the
Winter palace the manner Of the
czar's escape was reported in a dozen
different ways. The most popular, if
not the best authenticated, rumor,
was that he was at the time engaged
in his usual game of whist, in the
Princess Dolgorouky's apartments.
The influence which this lady-in-
waiting exerted at court has long been
a matter of scandal. Belonging to one
of the highest Russian families, hav-
ing brothers and cousins Occupying
posts of distinction in the army, beau
tiful in person and exquisitely grace
in manner, ia grande demOiselle," as
they called her, had made herself the
most important figure in the imperial
household. Alexander loved her for
her wit and sprightliness. Turning
with disgust from his sick wife's big
otry, he eagerly sought the princess
company. She charmed the states
men who surrounded him, and was
the delight of the "vieux moustaches''
who formed his military personnel.
Gossip even asserts that she bore the
car two children in his old age. The
empress, not unnaturally, had con.
ceived a bitter dislike for Ter rival
and the czarevltch sided with his
mother. Hence arose those painful
arrangements of which the world
heard SO much at the time of the
Moscow explosion. The princess
seems to have played her cards with
consummate ability. But for her tact
and feminine fnesse the breach be-
tween father and son would have been
irreparable.

At all the leading financial centers
of the country money is easy and in
abundant supply with a very tight
demand. Discount rates in the At
tic seaboard markets range from 2
per cent. The situation here is
B one of extreme ease, much idle
capital being reported, with little
promise Of finding productive employ
ment for it. Interest rates here range
from 6 to 10 per cent, according to the
credit of the borrower and the security
rendered.
Exchange is quiet. Cotton bills on
the east are discounted at to / per
cent, and. drafts on New York are
sold at 4c premium. New Orleans
rates are par selling and lc off buying.
During the thirty years ending with
the 30th Of June of last year, the
minis of the United States have coined
in gold 1899, 480 ,3G9, and of the whole
s898, 239, 100 were in double eagles, or
$40 pieces. During the last twelve
months $50, 900, 600 more double eagles
have been added. For the month OF
May $4,427 ,841 in gold was coined
1880, 900 being double and S~1,9l2,3O0
single eagles, q per cent. of double
and 40 per cent. Of single eagles the
remainder, 80 per cent, being in s.
pieces. Considerable complaint is
made regarding the coinage of so much
large coin and so little of the small
denominations. 1t is impossible for
gold to circulate or be used in the
daily business, as is the custom in
France and England, as coins of large
denominations are Objectionable for
currency purposes. Countries abroad
keep the precious metal stirring as q
retail currency, because it is coined in
small pieces, while in this country it
\ confined to transactions Of magni-
lde, because the bulk is coined in
large sized pieces.

IN THE WRONG CLOTHES.
Mark Twain WrestIeA With In
eOngruOus Underwear.

Mark Twain, in his new book, called
Tramp Abroad" tells how a party
Of tourists got wet and what they did
when they came back to the hotel:
I'VE stripped and went to bed, and
sent our clothes down to be baked; all
the horde OF soaked tourists did the
same. The chaos Of clothing got
mixed in the kitchen, and there were
consequences. | did not get back the
same drawers | sent down, when our
things came up at 6:l5; | got a pair on
the new plan. They were merely a
pair of long white rufled, euffed
sleeves, hitched together at the top
with a narrow band, and they
did not come down to my
knees. They were pretty enough,
but they made me feel like two peo-
pie, aud disconnected at that. The
man must have been an idiot to get
himself up like that to rough it in the
Swiss mountains. The shirt they
brought me was shorter than the
drawers. and hadn't any sleeves to it.
at least it hadn't any more than Mr..
Darwin would call rudimentary
sleeves; these had edging around
them, but the bosom was ridiculously
plain. The knit silk undershirt they
brought me was on a new plan, and
was really a sensible thing. 1t opened
behind and had pockets in it for the
shOulderblades; but they did not seem
to fit me, SO [ found it a sort of un-
comfortable garment. They gave my
bob.tail coat to somebody else and
sent me an ulster suitable for a giraffe.
| had to tie my collar on, because
there was no button on the foolish
shirt which l described a little while
ago."

An amusing Instance of military
readiness is given In Napier's Me-

down a narrow gorge in India, when
suddenly a mad bull was seer charg=
ing down at full swing and with tre-
mendous impetus. The captain had
presence of mind enough to give the
word Of command, which his soldiers
mechanically followed. The order he
gave sounds peculiar enough. 1t was
this: Prepare to receive cavalry
The soldiers obeyed, and the unfor-
tunate bull was impaled on their bay
