find know something of your story,
already. Your son, Roscoe Derby, who
ran away at nineteen years of age, is
probably living; and it may come in my
way to obtain some information of him
for you"
The old people bad risen from their
seats, and he went on quickly.
Meanwhile; be at no inconvenience
regarding your stay here in your old
home. Your right to occupy it is I'M
questioned in my mind, and let me say
you will never during your lifetime
be required to go hence. There is the
mortgage, he placed some papers on
the table-"the Derby place is your
own"
He rose, putting them gently back as
they pressed toward him to express
their gratitude.
Mono thanks? Believe me, you owe
me nothing
He took his hat. The old man, who
was volceless, wrung his hand. Mr..
Faxon turned to Mrs. Derby, and taking
her soft, wrinkled fingers in his strong
palm. bent low and kissed them. Then
he turned to the door, but in o moment
he had come back.
"Mother-father!" he said. 81
cannot go tor l know you have forgiven
me-"
And the next instant the strong man
was kneeling with his head on his moth
er's knee.
CATER long years, mother" said he,
as she stroked his temples with food
fingers. 81 am but twenty eight years
old, but sorrow for my early faults
has brought some gray hairs about my
head"
''And Won are not Mr.. Faxon, after
all, Roc?' said the father, with a puzzled
smile.
''Yes, am, dear father. Five years
ago had the fortune to gain the good
will of one of the wealthiest American
shipping merchants then in London. He
gave me good position, and 1 decided
to return home with him, and served
faithfully in his employ until just before
his death, when, having formed an en-
gagement with his only daughter, he
gave his consent to our marriage, with
the proviso that would take his name,
and carry on his interests exactly as they
had been. To this ] consented, for, in
spite of my settled habits and ideas, I
felt an alien and alone. but, mother, 1
have good wife and the best of sons-a
little fellow two years old, named Derby.
Does that please your"
All, indeed! What loving old woman
is not pleased with her grandchild? Soon
the house was graced by the presence of
Violet Faxon and the loving boy, whom
the grandfather could not praise enough,
and the grandmother could not fondle
enough, yet it was sweeter, perhaps, to
Roscoe Faxon to hear his mothe RS voice
whisper:
II like your wife, and do you know, I
think she is very like Annie?"

Newport Dressing.

/ have already spoken, says a cor
respondent, of the picturesque dressing
here this summer. 1t is one of New
ports charms. Some of our bellies are
living pictures. One of them l saw at
the Casino this morning, with broad
brimmed white hat, from the edge of
which fell wide curtain of tilmy lace,
half yelling her face. The effect was
strikingly beautiful and novel, recalling
beauties of the olden times whose charms
have been handed down to us on canvas.
Another beautiful girl, acknowledged TO
be the belle-and very beautiful she is
was clad the other day at the Casino in
deep violet velvet from head to toe, a
velvet turban preserving the contour of
her lovely shaped head; and this
morning l saw her-and all eyes
are upon her wherever she goes
wearing dress composed wholly of
Turkey red cotton. Does it sound
cheap? You should have seen the ex-
quisite white embroidery laid upon it.
On her head was great hat. again all
red, its only trimming masses OF crimson
feathers. Would not this costume star
tie Washington street? But Newport is
perfect background for such toilets,
anu tucy WitA VIC
surroundings. An exceedingly pretty
material for summer dresses is the finest
quality of white Madras muslin, such as
we use for window curtains, and which
is manufactured for that purpose. Made
up over white it has Spanish lace-like
effect, and / see charming costumes
almost daily made from it. As rule, 1
scorn to write about clothes, bat defy
anybody at Newport to rise above them.
Indeed, dressing is q fine art. and ap.
peals here to ones artistic instincts and
sympathies. There is this trouble: the
right clothes do not always get on to the
right person, and the most extraordinary
effects are sometimes seen, since such
pronounced dressing is permissible.
Ones home is easily guessed by ones
dress. New Workers. and southerners are
unmistable; Bostonians and Philadel-
phians are decidedly more quiet in their
attire, though it is quite as costly. can
nto say that the foreigners who are visit
ing Newport, bearingtitles and evidences
of wealth, are, according to our ideas,
either becoming or prettily dressed. But
tastes differ and l am conscious am not
polite in making this statement, which
grows out of the fact that I am some
times struck dumb with amazement
when stand before some of our foreign
guests. can believe with the old sailor
that some fashions come straight from
the devil.

A New Haven Comm firm sends
thousands of the red American fox skins
to Russia every year. These skins,
which are used in the Muscovite country
to line costly garments, are contributed

IN MEMORIAM.

Last week ",Tobias" announced
his own literary demise, and should
have written his own obituary and
saved me the trouble; however, in
this case it is a pleasant duty, for
whether he Wills it or not, he is no,
dead, he is playing possum, bless
THE Lord!
The force of habit, in spite of him,
Twill keep that pen going. It GER
ltainly would be misfortune if the
graceful pen which has added SO
much interest to the columns of the
sDEMocRAr and been a source of much
pleasure to the public should sud
denly stop. 1t would be like the ceas
ling of exquisite music.
Like "Tobias," "they hung their
|harps upon the willows and sat down
10y the waters of Babylon and wept,"
but they did not weep always
Their day of triumph came and those
|harps were strung anew, and sept
forth notes of rejoicing. The soul
|of music has not fed from ''Tobias' -
'aarp, nor has his hano lost its cum
ming, and l am sure we will hear
those strains again.
A few days of abstinence from lit.
|erary labor and the restless spirit OF
song will stir within him, and in a
transport of wild enthusiasm, and
with eyes in poetic frenzy rolling,
|once more

ANOTHER CuIEFTAlN GONE.

The New Orleans mail has brought
sthe announcement of the death of Gov.
sWiltz at the hour of 1890 A. NJ, on
the 18th inst.
Our people are summoned again to
bow the heart in grief at a calamity
not less sad and mournful than was
the recent death of the great and good
yClief Magistrate of the Republic
1.-THE death of Louis Alfred Witt, the
egallant, true and devoted Governor of
Louisiana, who had unselfishly dedi-
scated his remarkable energies and tall
cent to the interests of a people by
swhom he was universally loved and
shonored, inficts upon our State and
A people, misfortune in a measure, ir-
sreparable.
No son of Louisiana has ever been
more faithful to his State, more ready
Ethan he to sacrifice his nil for people
whom lie loved, nor more conspicuou US
and daring in the vindication of bis
peoples rights and liberties. Those
who are familiar with the remarkable
and brilliant career of Gov. Wilt and
remember the many thrilling scenes
of excitement and public danger when
1.-THE guns and sabres of an enemy ruled
our people and wrote our laws in|
blood, scenes in the midst of which bel
stood conspicuous, proud and defiant,
the inspired hero of Spartan band
battling anew for the right of self-gov-
|ernment, cannot but clothe his memory
with the halo of enchartment. The
|recollectiens of that dark January off
|l675-when calm, fearless and firm as|
Leonidas at the pass of Thermopylae,
|he stood in the Louisiana House of
Representatives and fearlessly de6edi
the armed enemies of our State-are|
rendered more thrilling and place himl
higher in the affections of the publicI
heart by reason of his ardent devotionI
TO the cause of his people.
1t shadows the heart with PECULIAR
sorrow when one like Wilt, in thel
triumph and morning of his manhood, j
with past record so brilliant and a!
future so full Of promise, is summoned
by death from the scenes of his labors[
and honors.
Years cannot efface from the heartsf
of the people nor time blot from tbe|
historic page the memory of his re- /
markable career. With him is buried2
a young life that was richly crowned
with laurels and triumphs and filled /
with aspirations of the noblest of ALI
earthly ambitions. that of faithfully
serving his country.
