Then Fred went to his rooms, and sold off his furniture, and gave them up; and from that time was lost to sight for sev- eral months.
 It was along towards Christmas time that the daily papers came out, on cer- tain morning, with paragraph which, to a certain set. was startling:
 "We are happy to state that sad mistake was made, few months since, in the announcement of the entire loss of MT. A-B-'s fortune. He had at that time been very unfortunate, and, through some strange mistake, note of his went to protest but he is all right now. The cashier of the bank where his account is kept informs us that he will honor the young mans check for half a million with pleasure. All is well that ends we'll"
 Within four-and-twenty hours of that time Fred was in receipt of dozen gushing notes from as many different in dividuals offering him any help in theil power to give, and begging him to re- member the old friendship. Only one ot them did he answer, and that was the note from Tom Amberly.
 "Do you remember, Tom, that you once offered toast ill my rooms il honor of myself; and you called mt your Sober and thrifty host And resolved in my heart of heart, from that moment, that you had not lied ]" And when the Christmas bells were ringing Fred led the dear girl of his old time love to the altar, and took her han( in wedlock;; promising that the Nigh had passed, and that the Morning hat dawned upon a new and better life.

Preparations for the Yorktown Cele,
 bratiOn.

One company of engineers, in charge of Lieutenant Townsend, and battery of artillery under the command of Cap tam s. R. Myrick, are now employed cleaning the grounds for the encamp ment of the troops at the Yorktown Centennial Celebration. Captain L. c. Forsy tn, of the Quartermaster's Depart ment, is also on the grounds arranging for the supply of fuel, forage and water for the encampment. The arrangements for the accommodation of visitors, so ia, as Yorktown is concerned, is very meagre, and those coming from dis tance will have to depend chiefly upon tn steamers upon which they arrive for m sals and sleeping accommodations. Tlere are but three small hotels in the town, with capacity of not more than DO each- It is understood that one or tgo parties will put up mammoth tents, but these have already been engaged by visiting commanders of Knights Tenn plars. Ths Chesapeake and Ohio Rail road has given assurances that the branch from Richmond to Newport News will be completed in time for the celebration, which will furnish an out let to Richmond, Williamsburg, and Norfolk. The Old Dominion Steamsh ip Company will put on three large steam CTS between Norfolk and Newport Ne WIS, which will make hourly trips.

BUILDING AND BEING.
(An Extract from Geraldine.)

(An Ertrdct from Geraldine.) The king would build, so legend says, The finest of all fine palaces. He sent for St. Thomas, builder rare, And bade him to rear them wonder fair. The kings great treasure was placed at hand And with it the sovsreign's one command: "Build we'll, O builder, so good and great! And add to the glory of my estate. "Build well, nor spare of my wealth to show A prouder palace than mortais know The king took leave of his kingdom then, And wandered far from the haunts of men. St. Thomas the kings great treasure spent In worthier way than his master meant. He clad the naked, the hungry fed, The oil of gladness around him shed. He blessed them all with the ample store, AS never 8 kings wealth blessed before. The king came back from his journey long, But found no grace in the happy throng That greeted him now on his slow return, c. To teach him the lesson he ought to learn. The king came back to his well-spent gold; But no new palace could he behold. In terrible anger he swore, and said That the builders folly should cost his head. St. Thomas in dungeon dark was cast, Till the time for his punishment dire were
 passed.
 Then it chanced, or the good God willed it so, That the kings own brother in death lay low. When four days dead, as the legend reads, He rose to humanty's life and needs. From sleep of the dust he strangely woke, And thus to his brother, the king, he spoke: q have been to Paradise, o my king And have heard the heavenly angels sing. "And there saw, by the gates of gold, A palace finer than tongue has told
 cts walls and towers were lifted high In beautiful grace to the bending sky; "Its glories, there, in that radiant place, shone forth like smile from the dear Lords face. "An angel said it was builded there By the good St. Thomas, with love and care, "For our fellow-men, and that it should be Thy palace of peace through eternity" The king this vision pondered well, Till he took St. Thomas from dungeon cell And said 70 builder! he most is wise Who buildeth ever for Paradise!'

ROLL-CALL.

Corporal Green" the Orderly cried;
 "Herep' was the answer, loud and clear, From the lips of the soldier who stood near And 'Here!" was the word the next replied. 'Cyr us Drew!'-then silence fell
 This time no answer followed the call; Only the rear man had seen him fall, Killed or wounded, he could not tell. There they stood in the failing light,
 These men of battle, with grave, dark looks, As plain to be read as open books, While slowly gathered the shades of night. The fern on the hillsides was splashed with And down in the corn, where the peoples
 grew,
 wereredder stains than the peoples knew; And crimson-dyed was the rivers flood. For the foe had crossed from the other side That day, in the face of murderous fire, That swept them down in it's terrible ire, And thier life blood went to color the tide. {" Herbert Kline!" At the call there came Two stalwart soldiers into the line,
 Bearing between them this Herbert Kline, Wounded and bleeding, to answer his name. ''Ezra KerrI'-and 8 voice answered, Herer' Hiram Kerrr'-but no man replied. They were brothers, these two. The sad
 winds sighed, And shudder crept through the cornield
 near.
 "Ephraim Deane!"-then soldier spoke; "Deane carried our regiments colors," he said;
 "Where our ensign was shot, left him dead, Just after the enemy wavered and broke. "Olose to the roadside his body lies; paused moment and gave him drink; He murmured his mothers name, think And death came with it. and closed his eyes," Twas victory, yes, but it cost us dear For that company's roll, when called at

see Miss Alice? Coleman has just got back from Memphis, and he told me she had gone on visit to some friends in O."
 But as he spoke he suddenly put his hand to his side. "I am shot," he gasped, faintly. It was true. A stray bullet had struck him in the side, and Col. Terry caught him as he ree1ed in his saddle, and rode with him to the field hospital. When the surgeon ex- amined his wound he shook his head doubtfully.
 "I know nurse worth twenty doc- tors," whispered Picton, with smile. "Terry, can't you fetch her to me?'
 Through the night the colonel stayed with him. Once he wakened and re- peated the question he had asked just before he was shot.
 "I saw her, yes," the colonel an swered, huskily. "She sent you some flowers"
 The blue eyes lighted up with tender glow and Picton held out his hand. Silently Col. Terry took from his breast pocket the withered flowers, spray of ivy and half-opened white rose, and laid them in the outstretched hand.
 Then the wounded man slept. But in couple of hours he awoke, much worse, and the surgeon in his rounds told the bronzed watcher that the end was very near.
 "Terryl'' and the colonel bent his head to catch the faint accents. "I'm dying. I wouldn't mind-only-poo1 Alice Tellher gently, please-she loves me, you know-and I-oh, Terry! it is hard to leave her. My poor darling!"
 For moment the colonel could not answer. Then, choking back sob, he said, slowly and distinctly:
 "Charley, Alice is waiting for you. You are not leaving her, but going to her."
 A bewildered, troubled look came into the wistful blue eyes.
 "Don't you unde rstand me, Charley She is dead. We buried her there in O.. I couldn't tell you before, dear old boy. But now you will be with her before you have time to grieve after her. She died with your name on her lips, murmuring of meeting you fin the morn ing."
 He understood now, and smile oi relief fitted across his pale lips. "Dea1 girl," he murmured. "'I am so glad she will not have this grief to bear"
 Then he slept again, and the hours passed on until the eastern sky bright ened with the solemn dawn light.
 "Terry!" the word was but the faint est whisper, but the watcher instantly bent his head to listen.
 "It is morning" came the faint gasp ing accents, and again the white lids dropped over the blue eyes. Five-ten minutes passed. Then Col. Terry lifted the dead hands and crossed them over the pulseless heart, reverently covered the still white face, and turned away.
 His two friends had met on ce more Gin the morning" of fadeless day.

MARY WALKERIsM ABROAD. "A move
ment has been inaugurated in Berlin for
the abolition of the present style of
female dress and the substitution of "a
dualistic form of attire for the lower MS
well as the upper limbs" A meeting
OF Berlin ladies was recently held for
the purpose of giving this dress reform
idea a good start. 1t was decided to
form a league, members of which shall
all be required to adopt and wear the
new style of bifurcated wearing apparel
The long skirts now worn by ladies' are
pronounced by the supporters of this
new movement to be fashionable "trip
perry" entirely unadapted to the human
form. Usually it takes new fashion
but few days to reach the United
States from Europe, and If this dress
reform shall receive the approval of for
elgn fashion authorities there's no tell
how soon it will be the correct thing ON
this side the Atlantic Indeed, it is
stated that ladies who attend popular
riding school in Louisville attire them
selves in habit very similar TO pnnta-
looms, as it allows them full liberty in
horseback exercise.

-Four men prominent in British poll
tics are mentioned in connection with
the leadership of the tory party, to sue
coed the late Lord BeaconsGeld, and the
indications are that the honor will not 90
outside Of this quartette. The Duke of
Richmond, the'leader of his party in the
House of Lords, position he most ably
fills, appears to be the choice of an ole-
ment in the tory party which largely con
trolls and directs its affairs. Sir Stafford
Northcote, the tory leader of the House,
has the support generally of his party in
that body, and his chances are claimed
as next to those of the Duke of Rich
mond. Lord Cranbrooke, who has dis
tinguished himself as ready debater
is supported by the country gentlemen
generally, with whom he is very popu-
lar. The last of the four prominent as.
pirants for the distinguished honor of
succeeding the late Lord Beaconsfeld,
is the Marquis of Salisbury, whose
name and public record are familiar to
all who keep posted in political affairs.

Frauds Of the Star Route Service.

Postmaster General James inquiry
into the star route corruption, which has
been carried on with equal vigor and
secrecy. promises presently to develop
some surprising rascalities in high places,
and in the end, if powerful political influ-
ences do not prevail to prevent it, send
several prominent politicians to the pom
itentiary. There is already sufficient
evidence in hand to show that the star
route lobby was not without Congress
men, as part of its force and the game
of straw bidding, sham securities and
raised contracts appears to have been
carried on with brazen effrontery which
shows that the men engaged in it-some
of them men of political influence
other office-holders, here and elsewhere,
had not the least fear of interference
from any quarter.
The President probably remembers
the impudent resistance to investigation
in the House winter before last when the
star route lobby gathered here to sup
port Second Assistant Postmaster Gen
eral Brady and to defeat the inquiry BY
the House. The President is bent upon "a
thorough exposure of the whole mass of
corruption. and has given orders that
the investigation now proceeding shall
be searching, and that wrongdoers shall
be brought to punishment without re
gard to persons of political influence
The result promises to be as astonishing
in its details as the exposure of tie whis-
ky ring by Secretary Bristow, and fortu-
nately the present Attorney General is
not the kind of man to issue an order
intimidat:ng witnesses and shielding
rogues.
The reckless way in which the star
route contracts were increased is
shown in an official return, from which
the following figures are taken: One
route contracted originally for in round
numbers $4,000 was increased to $780,
600, an increase of $144, 900 per annum
ON $4,000 contract, Another was in
creased from $134, 600 to $500, 900 !;
another from $4,000 to $4,000; an
other from $4,000 to $136, 900; an
other from $3.50 to $500 another
from $4,000 to $72, 900; another from
$15, 900 to $92, 600; another from SlO,-
600 to 500, 900, and so on to the end of a
long chapter. Unjust be remembered that
Congress had given for the star route SER
vice So, $780, 900, which was the whole
sum asked for in the estimates, but at
the next session the sum of $4,000, 600
was demanded ofCongrcss to cover such
increased prices paid to contractors over
and above the amounts they contracted
for, But this branch of the subject is
probably the least muddy of all. The
Post Office detectives have got evidence
of systematic straw bids and straw secu.
rites, and when the evidence already in
hand is brought before the proper courts
it will be discovered that in some eases
public officers here and elsewhere have
been concerned in violations of law
which are expressly made penitentiary
offences. - Washington Correspondent A.
