you think that would permit the wealth
of the Indias to come between me and the
man l love? No true woman ever weighs
love against money
Miss Edliffe, you Overwhelm mel You
are nObler-' stammerred Jasper.
'NObler than you areY said Acantha,
sarcastically, with sudden change in
voice and manner. 4 might easily be
that! Gentlemen continued she, slowly,
opening the door that led into the hall,
and laying her hand within the arm of
Hubert Luttrell, who stood there with
smile on his face, let me present to you
my husband, he who loved me when /
was poor, and to whom l was married
this morning.
The two plotters gasped and turned
pale. Jasper was first to recover him
self; he exclaimed: Miss Edliffe, your
conduct has been unwOmanly! You en-
cOuraged me-
why did encourage your she asked,
quietly interrupting him. For your own
good, to teach you lesson. Mr.. Surridge,
your conduct has been most unmanly.
You Tilted Miss LOttie solely for my
money; you would have married me
with lie on your lips! All, you both
look surprised; you wonder who reveal
ed your secret? Mr.. Clabaugh was my
informant
Il was not Mr.. Clabaugh retOrted.
Yes, you were. | was an unnOticed
listener to part of your conversation at
the PequOt House, and your dilatOriness,
Mr.. Surridge, gave me the one days
start needed to come home and instruct
my mother and Hubert as to my plan.
Perhaps you remember that the walters
att.hat hotel were all young ladies'; sew
eral of us schOOl-teachers needed both
money and change of air, so we hired
out during vacation as walters at the Pc
quot, and gained some money, plenty of
exercise, mountain air, and little fun.

The Twin Relic.

The contest over the seat of the delegate
from Utah may lead to a discussion by Con-
gress of the condition of that Territory aud
of the crime of polygamy. The general opin-
ion is that the government ought to speedily
interfere in the matter and break up the bad
system Of plural marriages.. and this opin-
ion will before long force the National Leg
islature to consider the matter, 1t is receiv-
lug much attention now from publcists.
Senator Edmunds treats of it in the latest
Harper's, Schuyler Colfax has written
letter about it, and United States District
Attorney Beatty writes to the New York
Tribune concerning it, Mr.. Edmunds sug-
gests the division of Utah and its distribu-
tion among tse neighboring territories. But
at the rate the Mormons are increasing out
side of the borders Of Utah this expedient
would quite as likely result in giving us
four Mormon territories, as in destroying
one. Mr. Colfax and Mr.. Beatty believe that
the evil can be met and subdued within the
limits of Utah. They recommend that the
living in and practice of polygamy as well as
the marrying into it be made penal offense.
The offense is now the illegal marriage
which is hard to prove, and in few years is
outlawed by the statute of limitations. The
crime should be the unlawful cohabitation,
an offense which is continuing, and compar
atively easy to prove. The unlawful mar
riage would remain q crime, and Mr.. Beatty
recommends that the statute of limitations
in respect to it be repealed entirely, SO that
whenever the evidence is forthcoming it may
be furnished irrespective Of the lapse OF
time. Mr.. Beatty further suggests that any
wife or woman, regardless of her relations
to the defendant, be made a competent wit
ness; that quasi divorce law be created by
which the poiygamous wife may apply to the
courts for such a portion of her husbands
property as she and her children bear to the
whole number of his wives and children; and
that every man who has ever practiced or
ADVOCATED polygamy be disfranchised.
These measures are worth trying and may
result in the extirpation of the evil Some
thing certainly should be done, and done
speedily. With the great power the general
government has it ought to be able without
injustice to anyone and without prolonged
disturbance 10 do away with the shameful
condition of affairs that obtains in that part
of its domain.

A Texas paper says that heretofore the
pecan crop, as source of revenue, has at
tracted but little attention. No care what
ever has been taken of the trees; in fact, in
many localities trees so and 100 years old
have been cut down solely to obtain the
nuts. Before the civil war the exports from
the port of Indianola alone were reported at
500, 900; now tits estimated that the amount
annually gathered exceeds $2,000,OO0 in val
ue. With proper care of the trees and sys-
tematic gathering of the crops it is believed
that S100,000,000 could be realized annually.
Millions of bushels are lost every year by
falling upon tie ground and rotting, or be-
ing devoured by the hogs, squirrels, turkeys
and other animals and birds. Except in en-
closed pastures no claim is made by the
owners of the land to the fruitage of the
trees. Mexicans and negroes are the pecan
gatherers, and in some districts white chill
dren.

THE recent experiments made in New

have here presented to us cheap and easy

afoat, with the same certainty and deadly
effect as the immense artillery of those ves-
sells is calculated to operate upon wooden
vessels. The explosive power is dynamite.

IT is said that Mrs. DeLong has been re-

a substantial manner. Before the sailing of

deposited $25, 900 to her creditin bank, and
this sum was doubled last Summer, when
discouraging news was received from Cap
tain DeLong and his gallant crew.

NINE hundred and thirty-six soundings
were made at the mouth of the Mississippi
last week by a select committee of the New
Orleans chamber of commerce, with view
of ascertaining the actual depth of water Sc
cured by Captain Eads's jetties. The least
depth that could be found anywhere was on
the crest of the bar, where there were 26 feet
of water, with the tide nearly two feeG be-
low AVERAGE flood.

THE law has been brought to bear against
the smoke nuisance in San Francisco. A
householder who lived next door to tall
chimney, which poured out volumes of
dirty black SCOT, defling everything in the
neighborhood, sued for damages. The trial
involved the question whether person had
right TO discharge into the air on his own
premises nuisance injurious to the health
and property of his neighbors, and The court
awarded the plaintiff a handsome sum. es-
tabishing the fact that no such right exists,
at least under its jurisdiction.

LONDON Truth: America is sending rs
prime beef and mutton. American wool is
ousting English from the market. American
apples are more numerous in the English
market than homegrown. America is now
sending us "English" plum puddings ready
for boiling. American horses have this year
won the principal races in England and
France. And now that America is bestir-
ring herself about her navy, what win be
left for poor old England to plume herself

THE building of Mexican railroads causes
a superstitious panic among the Indians.
In some places the savages regard the loco
motive as a sanguinary god, think its whis-
tie scream for blood, and expect to be
sacrificed to appease its wrath. This idea has
caused great numbers of people to flee to the
mountains for safety, and entire villages are
depopulated. At Pueblo it was believed
that the fat of dead Indians was used to oil
the machines, and the alarm was such that
for long time no savage could be induced
to enter the town.

THE French Deputies appear to be dis
posed to take a leaf out of the American
Congressional book and vote themselves an
increase of salary. 1t will be interesting to
note whether they go to the full length of
their imitation and make the increase fair
model of a back salary grab.

some years since to prepare as supplement
of the official reports Of the late war, now
being printed, a collection of portraits of all
the general officers commissioned by Presi-
dent Lincoln, 1861 TO 1865 inclusive, and cir
culars requesting them were sent out. In
return over 500 photographs have already

So vast and wonderful is the railway
building movement in this country that the

asserted that this will be increased twenty
thousand.

Mayor Grace, Comptroller Campbell and
Commissioner of Public Works Thompson,
of New York city, met there Friday, Is q
commission to open proposals for lighting
stree.-lamps for year from May l. The
bids ran form Sl7 per lamp for downtown
lamps to $3S per lamp in the twenty fourth
ward. The Brush Electric Illuminating
company proposes to furnish voltaic arc
lights Of 2000csndle power each in Wal
at Get and in Broadway from the foot Of
Whitehall street, including Battery Park, to
Forty-second street, in Fifth avenue, from
Fourteenth to Forty-ifth street; in Four
tenth street, form Third to Eighth avenue
in Twenty-third street, from Third to Eight
avenue; in Twenty. fourth street, from lhirt
avenue to Broadway in Forty second street
from Third avenue TO Broadway. and two
elevated groups Of six lights of 6OOO'csndl'
power in Madison and Union squares, all 10
S32, 900. The company also oilers to ligh
about 500 street lamps in other streets TO
$7I00 more. If the Brush electric light bid
accepted. it is calculated that the company
will furnish Illuminating power to 2iO0 lamps
viii, Is about SIG 80 lamp. The bids Q
the gas companies are higher than the bid
which we're made last year, and it looks as i
the companies had formed q combination

Rio Grande. The financial details for the
prosecution Of this work were all arranged
last winter. Then it was that the Iron
Mountain officials are said to have made the
frat overtures. From all that can DO ascer
taiued, though, the propositions were not
liberal enough TO induce the Narrow guage
company to cease their operations. and they
have continued in their efforts TO accomplish
their ends. The last visit of Col. Paramore
10 New York resulted in the securing OF 81
600 900 stock for the extension OF the road,
and this fact being known, the Iron Noun
| tain renewed their efforts 10 make some SORT
of an arrangement by which they could
either purchase the nsrrow-gauee line IN
Texas, or induce those interested not to OK
| tend the road through Arkansas; and, II they
concluded not to do this latter, and were ur
willing to sell out the Texas line, probably
they would lease it or accept certain
amount from the Iron Mountain for contro
of the road. These facts have been prett,
we'll substantiat1d, further inquiry develops
another fact, viz: that at the outset Their,
was rather sharp talk between the Goult
syndicate and the nsrrow-gusge syndicate
and 1t Is learned that the former. looked upoi
tho project of the latter as matter OF small
consequence at first. AT any rate, tho pro
positions could not have been well received
by the Texas g. st. Louis, from the fact tina
Col. Psramore informed the Gould people
it is learned on good authority, that his roat
was by no means an infant, nor was 1t al
orphan, for ii had wealthy parents, and To-
gitimate . cs; now WAS 30 miles long, ant

Washington, April 7.-Referring to tho
report in circulation to tho effect that
Conkling purposes to make speech in open
session concerning the New York nomina-
tons, very intimate senatorial friend of the
New York senator said to-day that 1t was
undoubtedly the latter's present intention to
deliver u speech Of that character. The
reason assigned by Conklipg for adopting
this course s this: He says that
when he opposed tho combinations
of New York nominations made by Hayes,
his moves and his arguments were never
correctly made known 10 the public. Tho
proceedings of tho executive session were
never fairly related, and great injustice was
done him. He now proposes that tho coun-
try shall know accurately and precisely why
no feels called upon to oppose tho
confirmation of Judge Robertson. Such q
speech from Conlling would DO an
entertaining performance, and very
strong hope is expressed hero on all
hands that he will not change his pro-
gramme. Conklng was again very busy to.
day among senators. He usually takes his
victims to tho cloak,room, but this afternoon
no caught Frye int transit between the
cloak.room and his seat, and he kept Frye
standing for three quarters Of an hour while
no pounded into tho Maine senator's car the
! articles Of war. Ho accompanied tho why
and wherefore with vigorous and constant
gesticulations. Conkling's seconds say to
day that no Is making numerous conversions
and they claim that majority of the repub
licans will stand by him.
