tina had thrown herself down without
undressing, and had fallen into brok-
Ell slumber, full of dreams and strange
fancies. She was awakened by the
moonlight in her room.
There was certain lightness in the
sky which made her think it must be
near morning. She went to the window
in draw in through every breath the hap
piness ofthis last night other youth. The
bruised flowers below sent up sweet
odors-cypresses stood like bronze SEN
tinels. Under them mans figurt. was
moving. He glanced upward anu saw
against the back ground of the dim oil
fame of Florentine lamp a girls
figure, leaning with folded hands
against the window-frane among the
wet tendrils of vine. The vine ran
down till it tapered to thick trunk,
curved about the pillar below. The
figure approached the vine, clambered
noiselessly from one step to another,
and while the girl was wondering what
caused the rust'ing among the
leaves, Eliot Vane was seated on the
window-sill, and had wound his arms
about her and drawn her down beside
him.
'Let me go!" she cried, in strained
whisper. How could you do this when
you know trust you? l did not be-
lieve it of YOU"
81 want you to trust me still, Dotha,"
said the young man, drawing her head
against his breast with both strong arms,
and turning her face to the moonlight.
~ want you to tell me once more that
few hours with me are worth months
of misery and disgrace. Is it still
true %
A long-drawn sigh, sob, broke flom
her lips. Her head dropped of itself
close to his breast.

repeated.
"Then. no matter what the world
says, you will trust me darling?"
Eyes"
1t was the supreme moment Of his
life to that man. To be believed on
his word alone by the woman who was
in his power was strange, sweet
tbought-a moment he would linger on
just little.
Her eyes glowed like stars as they
gazed into his. Her breath came quick
and short. He laid his hand lightly on
her heart 1t throbbed fercely-half
with fright, half with passion. She
was his-his with all the divine impulse
Of youth and passion-his when she
knew that the morrow would bring
forth tears and pain-his when for one
hour with him she was resolved to
brave lifetime of disgrace. He had
won his wife as he had always meant
to win her.
"Once more. You are sure you will
never regret the past when l am gone
when you are alone with your dis
grace?"
Never
A pause, the sweet eyes gaz ing stead
tasty into his.
''Then, Dotha, | want you to be my
wife. 1t is easy to love and trust when
the way is clear; but to love and trust
in the dark is the test of woman's
affection. My little girl, you have to-
night filled my ideal of the woman I
began to search for years ago."
In moment her arms were about
his neck, and he had bent his forehead
to receive her kiss. No woman had
kissed him there since his mother died
They sat long in the moonlight still
ness, hidden among the vines, with the
hower-deaths sweetening the air. The
whole world was as naught to them. for
they had found each other without the
worlds help.

The Berkshire EGG.

Amongst swine the Berkshire is gen9r-
ally admitted to possess the property of
! ma-bllng his meat in an eminent degree :;
my experience comedies with this but |
find that it needs certain conditions to at
tain this marbling even among pigs OF the
same litter and Of as near an even type as
possible. | am particular as TO evenness of
type IN the pigs because breeders well know
that even in one litter from Berkshire
SOW a coarser or finer, large or small type
of the breed is produced, caused by the
various antecedent crosses used in building
up the strain. | have observed that II re-
quired continuous generous feeding on
mixed diet from birth to maturity in order
to obtain the best style of marbled-meat.
The diet must contain all the elements to
form muscular tissues as well as fat, and
must be continuous in order to develop the
fat vesicles and keep them gradually FL
ling as the animal grows, so that the mus
Giles shall not become hardened and dried up
as il were around them, and thereby stunt
ing or altogether preventing their delicate
formation. All feeders know how hard il is
to get a beast that has been stunted when
Young to fatten at all, and what an unsatis-
factory exhibit he ever makes. Is not the
reason plain? His cellular tissue and fat
vesicles have become callous for want of use
in development. We further require that
this ripe meat must be produced at an early
age in order to profit. We must then be
the more particular in the selection of flesh
and fat forming food suited to the youth o.
the animal.
l have observed that strong food, such
as corn or peas alone, will rapidly fatten a
two-year old hog, but will after few weeks
positively stop the growth and thrift of a
six months old pig. Why? Because the
young thing requires to build up frame
bone, muscle, etc., (which the old hog al.
ready has) and his young digestive organ:
are not strong enough to eliminate from a
concentrated food of one kind, the
different elements he requires, and
besides no one food contains all these
elements in sufficient quantities. The pro-
cess of fattening in an older animal is a
gradual laying on of fat on the frame already
formed.-[ Cor. Of the Ruralist.

MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR.
The Dead Body Of a Woman Found in
II Pile of Dirt and Debris.

LOWELL, Mass, May IL. A tragic mys-
terry, bidding fair to be a rival in horror, is
that of the trunk tragedy at Lynn. unearthed
in this city, this afternoon. Ii has been kept
quiet TO afford the police chance for inves-
tigation before publicity should be given, but
the following facts have been ascertained /:
Loring Laker was employed to remove an
accumulation of ashes, dirt and debris, in
vault in the rear of Appleton street, which
had been unused for a period of about tive
years. After proceeding to some considerable
depth he exhumed the partially decayed body
of a woman, which was entire but for the
loss of considerable flesh. and having long
hair disconnected from the skull. The vault
is attached to the dwelling of two prominent
citizens, both of whom have held numerous
public Offices. and whose names. for obvious
reasons it would be unpleasant to publish ir
this connection. As the vault can be opened
from narrow alley running between Apple
ton and Winter streets, the theory prevails
that the body was brought there surreptitious-
ly and deposited to conceal the crime. A
medical examiner will make an investigation
and the police are working up the case.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, May IL. The Senate Ju-
dietary Committee considered the nomination
of VIM. T.. Chandler for solicitor general,
but concluded to postpone action on 1t for
another meeting. 1t is rumored this delay
is the result of desire of majority of the
committee to avoid further complication in
regard to the executive business, until caucus
efforts to adjust existing complication have
been fully exerted.
The following nominations are confirmed /:
Michael J. Cramer of Kentucky, now
Charge d. Affaires at Denmark, to be
Charge d. Affaires to Switzerland; vice
Nicholas Fish resigned. Geo p. Pomeroy of
New Jersey, to be Secretary of the United
States legation at Paris. Thomas A. Nc
Morris of Colorado, to be member of the
commission; vice Bowman resigned.
About two hours were devoted to a dis
cussion of the questions in relation to the
proposed removal ofthe injunction of secrecy
from the proceedings on Chinese treaties. 1t
resulted in reconsideration of the recent
vote by which authority given for the
publication of Hoar's speech, and the whole
subject was dropped. Stanley Matthews
nomination was also discussed, and is to be
resumed tomorrow.
Mrs. Garfield was quite i'll last night, and
the President was in attendance upon her
nearly all night. In consequence, no visitors
were received at the White House to-day. She
is, however, much improved this evening.
The arguments advanced to-day by those
senators who spoke against the confirmation
of Matthews, were in substance that his opn-
ions on the governmental control of corpora
tions and especially his well known views
concerning the consttutionality of the Pacific
railroad funding act are such as to threaten
a revisal of the last Supreme Court decisions
on those and similar questions and that the
existing vacancies on the Supreme bench
should not be filled by another Ohio man but
rather by citizen of Illinois or some other
State included in the circuit to which the new
Justice is assigned. On the other hand it as
argued in favor ofconfirming the nomination !;
that Mr.. Matthews is thoroughly fitted for
the appointment, by reason of his high
private character, and eminent legal ability,
and that so far geographical objection is
concerned, it should have been raised (if at
alb against the confirmation of Chief Justice
Waite-but is not properly applicable to the
nomination of successor for Justice Swayne
who was appointed from Ohio. many years
previously.

The Conkling-RObertS Contest

WARRINGTON, D. c.. May 10. The follow
ing is believed to be the substance OF wnat
has beer accomplished in the two days, eau
Gus of the republican senators: The effort oy
Mr. Conklings friends to secure q vote 10
postpone the consideration of the Robertson
case until the next session has failed. The
fact of the proposition made yesterday, re-
port says by Mr.. Edmunds, became SO ap-
pearaut that it was withdrawn to-day. Inc
friends of the administration no longer antic-
ipate any unusual delay or any danger OF the
rejection of Mr.. Robertson. 1t is believed
that three-fourths of the republican senators
will vote for his confirmation whenever the
case is reached. and it is perfectly
we'll understood that tho nomination
is withdrawn, which is hardly probable,
it is to be reached and voted upon
before the adjournment. There was much
be tier feeling in the caucus to-day than yes
terday. and most of the speeches were in the
line of harmony, and depreciating any open
breach in the party 1t is more likely that
Mr.. Conkling will think better of his purpose
to make a hostile attack on the Administra-
ton. now that he knows how such course
would be regarded by large majority OF
the party i'm the Senate, than that there will
be any change in the purpose on the part OF
the President. although doubtless, he will be
strongly urged by some senators. who Will
vote for Mr. Robertson's confirmation if that
issue comes, to make the pill as large as pos
sible for Conkling to swallow by Withdrawing
his nomination for the collectorship, leaving
Merritt in that position and nominating Rob
ertsen for another of the vacant New York
offices. Some of the Presidents friends re-
port tonight that he is well disposed toward
such a course. but such reports are to be re-
ceived with caution. and Conkling has inti-
mated that he will not make opposition to
such recognition of the element represented
by Robertson, which is a decided yielding.
on his part of the high tone of defiance
originally taken by him.
