A Little Novel For q Cent.

The last CLEAN of day was silverine
the waters of the Guadalquiver, at the
mouth of which stands the ancient City
of Valencia. Above other buildings rose
the tower of Miquilet, with its bell send
ing its solemn tones fur and near, call
ing the inhabitants to prayer. Far as
the eye could reach extended the fertile
Valley Huerta Valencia, studded with
thriving villages, vineyards and cot
tages, bound by the sea in the distance
and surrounded by the lofty mountains
of Catalonia. The stars were gemming
the fields of azure and the crescent
moon ascending the vault of heaven; it
was indeed night of beauty-a scene
to attune the mind to happiness and
peace.
The service had ceased, and the con-
gregation was slowly departing from
the Cathedral of Saint Cecilius. Among
the last of the worshipers was q Young
female, closely shrouded in mantilla,
yet of so thin texture was it that her
face and figure were almost perceptible.
In her hand she carried fan of the
most exquisite workmanship, but SEEM
ingly more for ornament than use; be-
hind her hobbled an. old duenna, who
with difficulty kept pace with the trip
ping feet of Donna Isabella, for such
was the name of the maiden. Close by
her side walked q young and noble
looking cavalier. whose deep dark eye was
riveted upon her, while ever and anon
glances Of recognition were exchanged
between them, till at length the sus-
picion of the old lady was aroused, and,
seizing the arm of her young charge,
quilted her not until they reached a
noble mansion in the neighborhood of
the ever-verdant Glorietta
But the young cavalier was not to be
thwarted in his design, which was to con-
vey to his lady love billet of appoint
ment, nor was Donna Isabella deficient
of invention in favoring the wishes of
her lover, for, Just as she was on the
eve of ascending the stairs leading to
her mansion, she dropped her fan, rs if
by accident. The opportunity was i'm
metliately seized by he young cavalier,
who, lifting it, unseen by the duenna,
slipped within its folds q billet, and
kneeling, presented it to the blushing
girl.
"You are too kind" murmured the
maiden in tones of silvery sweetness.
Don't mention it, Belle,'' was the
cavaliers reply, as he gently brushed
away with silk handkerchief the dust
that tlecked his right boot. .r....
At this moment the duenna began to
act impatiently. Leave me, Pedro"
said the young girl, fmploringly.
"You will not fail to meet me, As the
note says" he whispered, beseechinely.
"l You understand"
81 tumble," was the maids reply.
That night, when the bell of Miquilet
told the midnight hour, Isabella stood in
her balcony which overhung the gar
den. A slight movement was soon
heard among the orange foliage, and
tall figure, shrouded in flowing mantle,
advanced and stood beneath the bal
cony.
81 " Are you ready?" asked the mask.

THs sEE-sAw AT ALBANY.

The news from Albany is becoming very
tiresome. Every day it is gravely re-
ported that the Conklineites declare them
selves certain of success, and that the
anti Conklipgites are equally sure Of vic.
tory. This is equivalent to no news az
all, and yet it ought not to be impossible
to collect more valuable information.
Unless everybody on both sides have taken
VOWS against speaking the truth, thrust
be practicable toascertain with approximate
accuracy how the Republican members of
the Legislature are divided on the main
proposition, and what number of them
are pledged to go into caucus, or. not to
90 into caucus. Instead of dispatching
the wild and worthless brags Of the con-
tending factions, why does not the press
agent so to work on his own account, and
poll the Legislature. A dispassionate and
perfectly unprejadiced account from an
outsider is what is wanted now. 1t is evi.
dent that no dependence whatever can be
placed upon the statements and claims of
either side. The see-saw business is in
fact becoming positively nauseous, and
one is constrained to pray, like Wellington
at Waterloo, but with difference, for
night or the thirty first instant, TO end
the scene.

TWELVE DAYS WITHOUT FooD.-About
three weeks ago Bob Clark, an old street
cleaner of Tuscarora, New, wandered off
into the hills in a state of intoxication and
was given up for dead. He has since been
found. The Times ReuieU says "a few
days ago Dick Dorsey, o. f. Rogers and a
number of other stock men from Eiko came
up on Susie creek to hold rodeo. On
arriving at cabin which is used as camp
during the rodeo season, the party found it
occupied by old Bob, who vas nearly dead
from exposure and hunger. He was bare
footed and hatless, and clothed in nothing
but pair of tattered pantaloona and a
ragged shirt He was so weak that he
could scarcely stand, and could not posi-.
bly, have lived many hours longer without
relief. He was given a small quantity of
light nourishment at intervals, until his
stomach was able to bear stronger food,
but it was several days before his digestive
organs could be educated up to the stand
ard of square meal. He says that he
had nothing whatever to eat from the even-
ing before he left the camp on the Elko
road until he was found by the rodeo party,
which was nearly twelve days.

FORSTER ON IRISH AFFAIRS.

In the House Of Commons Tuesday night
Mr.. Forster, in reply to questions from
some of the Land Leaguers, said very plain.
ly that the Government intended to arrest
anyone, no matter what his rank or pro-
fession, whether priests or Members OF
Parliament or anything else, who were
found melting the people to breaches of
the laws, and fomenting trouble generally.
As the Secretary was probably expected to
apologize for the arrest OF Sheehey, this
plain answer was calculated to embarass
the opposition somewhat. Mr.. Forster
added that the purpose OF the Govern.
ment was to maintain the laws in Ire.
Land, and that this would be done no
matter at what expense. So far the
Government does not appear to have been
much cowed, it we may judge from
these indications.

TIE PRICE OF TUEIs.

Tunis has been purchased by France at
an extravagant price. That price has been
the friendship of Italy. The latter is not
now in position to exhibit her deep re-
sentiment at the action of France, but she
will cherish that resentment all the more
closely for her present impotence, and
when her time comes she viii strike hard.
France has won Tunis, which she did rot
need, and in so doing she has lost Italy,
which she did need. 1t is her first duty
to provide herself with allies. Instead of
doing that she has completely alienated
Italy, and has invited the estrangement of
England. Italy alone could have helped
her materially in war with Germany and
Austria, for Italy alone could have given
employment to the bulk of the Austrian
forces. France has acquired Tunis, but in
doing so she has flung Italy into the arms
of Germany, and has thus strengthened
that combination which is watching it's
opportunities to reopen the struggle with
her. If Bismarck had controlled the
Tunisian situation himself and entirely, he
could not have shaped it more
for his own advantage than it
has been shaped by French blindness
and vanity. Italy viii never forgive
the Tunis affair until she has had
revenge, and Bismarck is the only man
in Europe who can hold out that hope to
her. Henceforth the alliance of the two
Emperors becomes triple alliance. When
IN the fullness of time the inevitable quar-
rel occurs between France and Germany,
the republic will vainly appeal to the
Italian Government fer alliance, even for
neutrality. In that hour Tunis viii be
remembered, and Germany will derive all
the benefit from that memory. Perhaps
France feels strong enough to disdain all
considerations OF this kind. 1t would not
be the first time, however, that she has
oyerrated her strength. If she has reeov-
cred and grown, her enemies have been
equally progressive and energetic. 1t has
been B.snarck's poilcy to isolate her, and
he has nearly accomplished it. Russia is
to-day the only possible ally remaining to
her, and it is quite possible that Russia
will be unable to take any serious part in
European politics for many years to come.
A. all events she must settle with her
internal DISCRIMINATION before she can be
in condition to attempt a foreign war,
and meantime it remains to be seen
whether Bismarck will await her recovery.

VERY INCONSISTENT.

The New York anti. Conkling papers are
asking Mr. Conkling why, if as he says he
believes that the people sustain him, he does
not put that belief to the test. and wait
till next winter before gcing before them.
They point out that in asking re election
at the hands OF Legislature majority Of
whose Republican members he has already
claimed to be pledged to him, he cannot
possibly obtain anything in the shape of
vindication," since he himself has
formally admitted that he proposes to SUBJ
nit himself to packed jury. These con.
siderations are very difficult to meet, and
quite impossible to answer, and therefore
Mr. Conkling and his friends manifest
commendable prudence in letting them
severely alone.
