A Bad Investment.

If there is man in this country upon
whom the Republicans, in and out of
Congress, have for years expended their
bitterest wrath and their fiercest denun-
citation, it is James r. Chalmers, of
Mississippi. He has been denounced
constantly by them as the contriver of
the brutal massacre at Fort Pillow. His
name has been used in every Republican
campaign since the close of the civil
war to excite the passionate resentment
of Northern voters.
Mr.. Chalmers recently represented in
Congress the Sixth District of Missis-
sippi, but was ousted by John r.
Lynch, the present colored member.
Many Democrats gave Chalmers the
benefit of their doubts in sustaining his
claim to the seat, while many others be-
ieved that he was not fairly elected,
although he had something of tech
nical case. Chalmers complained loudly
because the Democrats did not filibuster
in order to keep him in his seat. It
now appears that at the very time
Chalmers was making this complaint he
was preparing the way for the course he
has since taken.
It is alleged that, as the result of GER
tain negotiations with William E.
Chandler. Chalmers is now candidate

just as they had reached this spot
they were brought to sudden halt by
loud cries and confusion. Down the
street, and directly toward them, came
runaway team dragging a splendid
carriage.
Agatha took an irresolute step for
ward, and then sprang back as the
horses dashed up against the sidewalk.
The women were thus separated, and
in a second Mamie was reaching for
ward, cold with horror
'sAgathai" she cried, but too late
The girl had lost her balance, and had
fallen backward from the unguarded
sidewalk down into the deep cellar, and
there lay upon the stores limp and nn-
conscious.
She would live, sadly crippled and
helpless, the spine had been injured and
one hip dislocated. So said the best of
surgeons. She would henceforth require
all care and tenderness.
''Thank God, she is not poor!" cried
Mamie. As for the boys, George was
completely crushed, and Lewis paced
the floor for hours, crying for s'his poor,
poor sister!''
Agatha insisted upon hearing the
worst, and, when it was made known
was very silent. By and by Mamie
could see great tears trembling under
the long, dark eyelashes.
81 would not mind,'' faltered the
sufferer, ''but for him. Who will love
and care for him now?''
Then she asked that he be sent for at
once. When he arrived, Mamie and the
boys were in the room, but they with
drew to the window. Peters face was
as pale as Agatha's own.
"Norman, DEAR" she said, without
preface, 81 am a cripple for life. 1

to give you back your freedom"
A frightened expression overspread
his countenance; his lip quivered, and
he sank on his knees by the bed and
buried his face.
''Agatha, darling!" he cried, with
real pathos, 'sdon't, don't cast me off!
You are thousand times dearer to me
now. All ask is the right to care for
you''-his voice broke, and he fell to
weeping.
By the window three persons heard it
all. They looked in silence at each
other, then Lewis strobe swiftly across
the room.
'sPeters," he said, "we haven't done
right by you. I, myself, have acted
despicably. But if you will forgive and
forget, will be very different in the fu-
ture.''
Then Peters, who had risen, stood
silent and bewildered till, through the
mist the room grew suddenly bright,
for they had encircled him and were
clasping his hands with loving warmth.
And as Agatha lay watching she
raised a feeble hand to stay the tears
that coursed her cheeks.
'tI never thought" she sobbed
aloud, 81 never dreamed I could be
made so ppy!"-Lily ". Curry, in

Gently took a trip across the State, and
to Judge by the following incident he
had d lively time:
"Stopping at hole, dis
mounted," he says, "and handed the
doctor cup of water. In returning
the cup he let it fall on the ground,
starting my pony and causing him to
run about fifty yards.
GAS he stopped and began to Craze, l
paid no attention to him, expecting,
after attending to the demands of my
thirsty throat, to walk up to him and
mount.
"He let me walk to within five PAGES
of his head. He had no objection to my
walk. The fact is, and I regret to bear
witness to it, he seemed rather to enjoy
seeing me walk.
"Just as I was about to reach out to
catch the bride, he walked Off Then l
began to run. So did he. He evidently
enjoyed this acceleration of speed on
my part, even more than he had pre-
viously enjoyed my walking gait. He
ran short distance with his head down,
apparently chuckling to himself at my
discontinue; then, throwing his heels
up in the air, he cantered around me in
circle, neighing in derisive manner.
"When stopped he would stop, and
wait until I almost caught up with him.
He was always on the alert, however,
and stood with his tail elevated, ready
to 90 off at the slightest increase OF
speed in my movements.
"What added to the interest of the
entertainment was that when the vile
mustang started, the coffee-pot and other
loose articles of virtue attached to the
saddle kept Hopping around, increasing
his hilarity and causing him to perform
gratuitous antics that no one would have
ever thought the brute capable of per-
forming.
ssThe result of this was that from the
moment he started to run he began
shedding my portable property, loose
articles first, then the contents of my
saddle-bags, one article at time, leav-
ing a train of tin-ware and notions to
mark his erratic course.
ssThis necessitated following in his
tracks, that might pick up my scat
tered belongings. Here, a toothbrush; !;
there, a bar of soap; over yonder, a
towel hanging on a withered cactus;
and the coffe-pot, with the handle brok-
en- and the lid gone, jammed among the
thorns further on, my notebook in
puddle of water, and the photograph Of
somebody with golden hair smiling at
me out of a bunch of violet-colored
flowers.
"After two hours spent in fruitless
endeavor to catch my pony, and after
trying all manner of deceitful devices to
entrap him, such as walking up toward
him with handful of choice grass, and
offering it to him in the most respectful
manner and sweetest tone of voice, and
in holding a hat toward him in such
manner as to suggest that it contained
about two quarts of shelled corn-after
all this had failed, he caught himself by
entangling rope, that hung loose from
his neck, in the branches of low mes.
