[ fell forward in what seemed to me a
gulf of blackness.
When | awakened from what seemed
to me long swoon, Adele's eyes met
mine. But l forgot myself in the
change in her.
She was very thin and deadly pale,
her eyes seemins too large for her face.
learned all too soon that she had not
left my bedside for fourteen days and
nights, during which time I had been
tossing in deIirium of brain fever.
"What did | talk about?' l inquired.
Nothing, dear" she replied, sooth-
ingly. Most of your words were inco-
herent."
And fool fool believed her.
My recovery was very slow one, and
due to the nursing of my devoted wife.
Strange to say, the Id agony her pres
ence had brought me, fed. She now
soothed me- The storm had reached
its height and burst. A quiet calm now
succeeded-a calm when began tc see
with clearer eyes, and resolved to take
up my burden and bear it more
bravely.
But in Adele there was an indescrib-
able change. She talked, she laughed,
she sang; but SO might an automaton.
Her soul had gone from her face, and
gone from every action.
Why did it trouble me? She never
offered me a demonstration. She &C
cepted in quiet passiveness those l
gave her.

| there came crisis in my affairs. In
a moment she was at the wheel, ready

and he finds they differ. In England and

the principle that no custom or law can

on trial to impede the orderly operations
of justice. When he does so he clogs the
wheels of the law and places himself outside
the pale of consideration and respect. If

wnrLrrnrpnEsrpExri isat work upon hi

WHrLETHEP PRESIDENT is ut work upon his
message and is supposed to be weighing the
various recommendations Of members of the
Cabinet we deem IL proper to call his at
tention to the following language held by
Mr.. Thomas L. James in his official report
The false and vicious theory that the postal
fund could be properly charged with subsidies
for tho development of commerce on the high
seas had Jealous advocates In the Department
and In Congress.
This, If it means anything, is in the
nature of rebuke administered by Thomas
l.. James to the Republican party for its
utterances in three consecutive national
platforms and five consecutive Congresses.
One of the cardinal doctrines of Republican
ism is that American labor should be pro.
tected. Incident to that general doctrine is
the theory that the construction ofan Amer
lean merchant marine should be promoted.
The word Subsidies" has been whipped
by unfair debate and unjust journalism into
opprobrium, but the Republican party has
not done it, On tho contrary, the Republi.
can party in convention and in Congress
has steadily sustained the theory of subsidy,
has repeatedly cndeavored to fetch that
theory into practice, and has uniformly
made its efforts in the form characterized
by James as "false and vicious"
1t is an accepted truth with the most
eminent leaders of the Republican party
that :" the postal fund" forms the most
convenient channel through which to ap-
ply legislation to the object under discus.
sion.
The former idea of voting specific sub.
sides to individual corporations has been
abandoned and the idea of general legisla-
tion, to be carried into effect through the
postal fund.-" has taken its place. This
scheme is still cherished by men who cer-
tainly have some claim to the title of Re.
publican leaders. In fact, Thomas l..
James is the first alleged Republican who
ever, to our knowledge, officially charac-
terized this theory as false and vicious"
We learn from sources not altogether un-
official that the President does not consider
the theory under discussion false and
vicious;" but, on the contrary, that he ap-
proves it rs the most convenient and ex-
pedient mode of giving practical force and
effect to the wcll-defned aspirations of the
Republican party in that direction; alst
that he will in general terms so recon-
mend in his message to Congress.
That is to say, provided Thomas l.
James does not in the meantime perfect
his apparent scheme to reconstruct the Re.
publican party and remodel its principles.

Gov. HAGooD, of South Carolina, has
jdst made his annual report, and it reflects
great credit ON the condition and manage
ment of the State. AS one proof 1t seems
that the State penitentiary has been man
aged so well that the appropriation made
last year by the Legislature is untouched.
Out of its own income the pcnitentiary has
paid running expenses and the cost of need
full improvements, and there are SIS, 900 in
hand. The principal revenue Is from the
leasing of convicts, and the governor favors
the plan of leasing them in larger numbers
under conditions that permit of their en-
ployment, at one and the same place, for a
length of time, so that they can be syste-
matically cared for and properly guarded.
There is no reason why the labor system
should not always be self-sustaining where
the criminals are regular and steady, and
something besides contractors are "sus-
tained, +"

EVERY EVENT of any great consequence
reminds some one that prophet had once
foretold the same. Hence we had every
reason to suppose that when Foxhall and
Iroquois advanced the American name last
summer about 100 per cent. they were
simply fulfilling prediction. This turns
out to be correct. The London Field de-
clares that a prophecy made nearly fifty
years ago by Mr.. Apperley {" Nimrod '') has
been verified this year by the great achieve
ments of Foxhall in England. This pro-
phetic utterance was to the effect that in
fifty years from the time he wrote the peo-
Pile of the British Islands would have to
rely upon this country for their horses.
The Field thinks that the victories of Fox
hall in the great Newmarket handicaps,
the Cesarewitch and the Cambridgeshire
Stakes, prove Mr.. Apperley to have been
right.

tricts, according to the number Of

ty having two thirds of the ratio
