That night the two friends en-
tered the drawing room, in which
q brilliant crowd was assembled.
A little later Mark Norton stood
beside FIossy. She had never
looked more beautiful than she
did then in her creamy costume Of
satin and aeecy lace, Iooped with
diamond stars.

FIossy bowed as to an utter
stranger. An instant her lip curl

him TO speak the fateful words.
At last the tunity was his.
She smiled, as he thought, With

turned into icy scorn, the look he
had interpreted Of love altered into
contempt, The sweet tones grew
harsh as in few cutting phras-

doomed him.

and once the man was sincere.
A look Of scorn flashed. from
Flossy's eyes as she withdrew her

Mark Norton's face flushed be-

He felt that she had read Alright

look at her face one would never
dream that her position in life was
not among the proudest; but a
glance at her simple dress would
dispcl the illusion. FIossy Thay-
er bad been brought up by her
grandfather in q quiet, secluded
country neighborhood. The old
gentleman was wealthy. Flossy
was the darling Of his heart, and
great pains were Iavished upon
her education. The grapdfather's
health was not good, and they
travelled a great deal, often spend
ing the winter in the South.
They had been there when the
crash came; Mr.. Thayer lost his
money. He was the most hon
orable man alive; he returned
home, paid his liabilities to the
last fartbing; sold the beautiful
country seat where Flossy had
spent her childhood and estab-
lished himself in an old farmhouse
by the sea, with hardly enough
money left to live upon.
So for four years Mr.. Tbayer and
his granddaughter bad lived quiet,
ly enough in their retreat. So
far as the old gentleman knew,
FIossy had been happy, but in
truth she was alway waiting for
some wonderful change that was
TO free her from the humdrum life
in which her life was passing. But
it was nevertheless true that no
palace ever sheltered a maiden
moro royalty fair than she. And

Norton was just fitted to win the

A Visit to Mt. Vernon.

We hope all the Republican Senators,
particularly those OF the stalwsrt varie.
ty, may be induced to join this excur-
sion. 1t will do them good in more
ways than one. WASHINGTON was a
Southerner and slave owner, but he
fought for the whole country and not a
part Of it. He was patriot in the old
fashioned sense Of the word. He
"knew no North, no South-nothing but
the Union" As soldier he labored to
secure national independence. As
Statesman and President he labored for
national unity. In war and in peace,
free from sectional prejudice and jeal.
ousy, he did all in his power to establish
and perpetuate that mutual respect and
affection between the two sections
which are the foundations Of enduring
politicalitical union. The grave OF such
q man ought to teach q valuable lesson

Under present regulations days work

former case was so excessive that, after

THR Massachusetts, Legislature has
made another, and a rather formidable
attack upon the liquor.dealers. For
some time past there has been law in
that State which provided that the
keepers OF drinking saloons might be
punished for failure to obey what IS
known as "the Screen act" This was
easily evaded, and for all practical pur-
poses was not in force. Now, however,
IL has Just been amended by provision
which makes it obligatory upon city and
town authorities to see that from the
windows and doors OF all drinking places
there are removed shutters, cur
tains, blinds, and screens OF every de
scription which may in any way pre-
vent full view from the street oil the
bar, its customers, attendants, and con-
tents Of every sort. Still further, the
law has been strengthened by the en-
actment OF clause which provides that
any liquor dealer who shall have any
ground or stained glass in his window
which interieres with the view from the
streets shall be held liable to the PEN
alties Of the act. To expose bottles,
casks, or any other articles in such
a way as to obstruct the view will in
the future be also held mis-
demeanor. The obvious intent OF tie
law is to frighten of the very large class
Of people, particularly young men, who
do not like or cannot afford on account
OF business connections to be seen
drinking in public. Already, however,
the Boston saloon keepers have COM
menced to devise schemes for evading
the new enactment. The most popular
and effective method OF doing so which
hiss yet been discovered is to wall up the
street windows of the bars 80 high that
it is impossible for passers-by to see
them,

THE TRUTH OF HISTORY AS TO
THE STATE DEBT.

During the present executive session
OF the United States Senate there has
been much incidental discussion as to
the portion of the ante-war debt OF Nir-
GINA wticl the State Of West Nir-
GINA is in honor aud in equity bound
to pay. In apoloyizing for their alliance
with the repudiating party in Virginia,
personiied in MAHoNE, Republican
Senators have accused West Virginia of
Sinking her portion OF the public debt
Of "the OH Dominion" and there has
been much loose talk upon the subject.
To get at the facts OF the relation OF
the two States to the pub
lie debt of Virginia, 1t is
necessary to examine the circumstances
attending and the legislative enact
ments accompanying the organization
of the State of West Virginia.
In 1861 there was held in the city OF
Wheeling aconyention of delegates who,
IN the name OF ''the People OF the State
OF Virgins" ordained what they called
Reorganization of the State Govern
ment." They provided for the appoint
ment by the Convention OF Governor,
Lieutenant Governor, and Attorney
g neral, and for the formation OF Leg
islature; and the government thus estab-
lished was known As "ths restored gov
eminent Of Virginia" The entire Legal
ity OF this proceeding and the valid
ity of the acts OF this Convention
OI=the People OF the State Of
Virginia" and oi the Legislature and OF
iicers OF "the restored government OF
Virgins" was afterwards maintained BY
the Congress Of the United States and
by the Supreme Court.
This sovereign convention OF the peO-
pie of the State OF Virginia adopted on
the 10Th day of August, 1861, IAN ordi.
nance to provide for the formation Of
new State out of a portion OF the terrific
~ OF this State" In this ordinance,
upon whose entire csnstitutionality and
validity the whole question as to the
regularity OF the organization of the State
of West Virginia depends, is inserted
this clause in regard to the public debt:
80. The new State shall take upon
itself just proportion OF the public
debt OF the Commonwealth of Virginia
prior 10 the first day OF January, 1861,
TO be cscertained by charging to il all
State expenditures within the limits
thereof, and a just proportion OF the or
binary expenses OF the State govern
ment, since any part OF said debt was
contracted; and deducting therefrom the
monies paid into the treasury Of the
Commonwealth from the counties in
cluded within the said new State during
the came period ="
This beingthe proposition OF the Vir-
GINA Convention and the formulated
demand of the people Of the State of
Virginia" as to the mode Of apportion-
ing the debt existing prior to 1861,
a constitution for the new State OF West
Virginia was formed, in which was in
serted the following provision (article
VIII, seetions):
"An equitable proportion Of the public |
