that Pattison having been born in Mary

fact is that young Pattison ceased to be

Th0y Give Two 0000 fOsfOrmonce0 To Largo
The Van Ambnrg show. appeared yester-
day afternoon to big audience, but the
ono in the evening was great deal larger.
Additional seats were placed in tho tent
and all were filed. Although the show
is not AZ large as many that our citizens
have been accustomed to sec during tho
past few years it is . good ono and do
serves liberal patronage. The men-
agerie is Of good sizo aud It
contains many rare animals. There
were two elephants, two camels, ono
lion . number Of )eOpards, panthers
and hyeDas and many others. Tho living
nondescript is an ugly animal, which re-
sembles wild boar. 1t IL an animal SOL
dom seen aud is said to be the only ono
living in captivity.
The circus performance was given in
one ring and the audience was not CON-
PEELED to watch two or three acts at one
time. The performance throughout re-
ceived the closest attention of the audi
ence and the good acts were rOundly ap-
plauded The best performance during
the evening was that Of Ajax, the cOnt0r-
ZIONIST. He il q wonderful actor and is
said to be ono of the best in the profess
sion. The trapeze acts of the Maynards
was very fine. and Miss Maynard was also
seen in a clever role Of wire walking.
Tho riders wero Miss Annie Carroll
and Mr.. Lowry, the former doing
q pad and the latter bare back
act in good style. Other acts worthy
of special mention were as follows: Bar
performance Of Thorpe and La Rose,
Charva,t in light end heavy balancing,
Gallager, equilibrist, Sam McFlynn. with
tho dancing ladder, and the performance
of the Indians. The act of the savages
was very thrilling and it brought back
the recOllections of the dime novel. Many
boys in the audience yelled with delight
when they saw the guns fired and scalpS
lifted. They were something like those
given by Buffalo Bill in his hall show, and
blood ran deep. During the act Marguise
q young Indian gave wonderful exhibi-
tiOn of hOrsemanship. The Indians per-
formance closed the main entertainment
and it was followed by very clever c0u-
cert. The music with the circus deserves
moro than . passing notice. The band is
fine and they played the latest music last
evening, including parts Of Patience and
other operas.
The show exhibits in Mannheim to-day
and Middletown to morrow. This circus has
no rough characters with it and tho actors
and agents are all gentIemanly. No games
of chance we're seen on the ground yester
day and the best of order prevailed.
Mr. George Cummings, Of this city, who
is professionally known az George Whitby,
appeared with tho acrObats in tho ring
last evening. He did some good work,
and was one Of the best. He turned .
double somersault over several horses in
good style. Mr.. Cummings was out this
season with the Great United States circus,
which stranded at Louisville recently and
which will be sold by the sheriff.

lately published, warns the headed
haters of the Celestials on the Pacific
coast, that the Acknowledged foreigners
have rights that Americans are bound to
respect. The ordinance which gave rise
to this legal decision was passed by the
board of supervisors of San Francisco in
May of the present year, and made it un,
lawful "to establish, maintain or carry on
any laundry'' within certain described
limits of San Francisco without the con-
sent of the board of supervisors, which
consent was only to be granted upon the
recommendation of not less than twelve
citizens and taxpayers. Tho chief pur-
pose of the ordinance was to drive the
Chinese out of the laundry business, it
being well understood in advance that the
necessary recommendation from twelve
citizens could not be obtained by any
Chinese applicant. Justice Field, in his
opinion, denies the right of the city to
make such an ordinance, and exposes the
absurdity Of the claim that it was passed
in the interests of good order. Waving
the abstract question whether or not
Chinese immigration should be restricted,
it is subject for congratulation that the
highest legal tribunal of the land lays
down such dispassionate and withai such
sensible doctrine on this much-vexed
question.

CHAPTER II.

Most of our lives are bitter-sweet; but if
sweet are superlative, it is when love takes
possession of soul and body as instruments
wherein to play his mighty preludes.
Margaret Townsend had lived alone al
most all her life with her father, a quiet
student loving but his daughter and his
books and so her life was full of associa-
lions, but not of friends. None of the
bloom had been worn off her soul by that
playing at love called Irritation. She had
read, with a certain solemnity, some old
books wherein mention was made of men
who had died and done other things for
love; and she may have had dreams on the
subject, but filmy and shifting as dreams
generally are.
In this sequestered solitude the father and
daughter and DR.. John Enderby were at the
present the only strangers, and the young
doctor, after two OF three days, Iimped into
Margaret's sunlit sitting-room, into which
the light fitted through network of bud
ding apple boughs.
John was free to come and 90 as he liked
IN the blossom-screened room, holding
learned converse with Mr. Townsend, meet
ing his daughter in the woods, now fully
leafed, sometimes helping her over the
rocks in search of anemOnes.
His nature was as yet cold, hers was all
aglow. She was one of those women pas
sionate, yet sweet and pure, with sensitive
bodies that culver with pain at any strong
emotion. If she had never seen him again.
1t is improbable that she would ever have
cared for another; perhaps she would have
waited in eternity for the sequence of that
first glance of his.
They fingered On till the honeysuclzle
wOOed the meadOwsweet in the deem lanes
above the village, and the young summer
was in its beauty. Then there came a mo-

garet to be his wife. 1t was the sweetest
time of the afternoon, just before the sunset.
when the day has lost its WEAKNESS and the
sky is calm, and the sunshine is dimmed by
q soft haze.
Mr. Townsend had left them in order TO
write letter which he had forgotten, and
the others had sauntered toward the village
in dreamy silence. Then she became aware
that he was asking her to be his wife, telling
her that she was the sweetest woman he had
ever seen. Whence then her sudden shrink

a0l not good enough" she cried. She
was afraid of her joy, for she was timid
woman, but in the midst of his wooing he
was vexed at her humility, not understand
ing it, for he was only offering her a scanty
armful of firSt-fruits, and she was returning
linn the full harvest of her soul, though she

SONS and birds were all gone now. Here
Margaret grew restless her thoughts turned
afternoon after they came she wandered out
by herself to the woods above the house
The sun was shining and there were one OF
two late daisies in the grass. She stopped
and gathered them. Her baby had been
fond Of them, and she had made him SO
many chains of them in the past summer
and he had broken them with his little COO
just like bird.
She went on, dry-eyed and desolate
She started. Here was the place where
John had asked her to be his wife, and with
pang she remembered the intensity of. her
Joy. All, how the petals had fallen from
the flower. 1t had been unjust of John TO
take her without loving her. He had sought
her and wooed her, and now she was SO
lonely
She heard his steps and turned to hide
from him, but the trees were bare now.
Half curiously she looked at him. He had
not seen her yet, for his eyes were bent on
the ground. Unconscious of her presence,
he took no pains to hide his dependency,
and she could see how grief-won was the
handsome, kindly face. Contemplating him
thus she forgot herself, and the old strong
love shone in her eyes. He looked up and
saw her pale and slim in her black dress, but
there was that in those eyes which drew him
to her to murmur in her ear how much he
loved her, and she turned to him as she had
never done before. Il am not worthy,
dear" he said, having also learned the divine
humility.
So the bitter changed entirely TO sweet
not suddenly, for it took some time for Mar
garet 10 lose her jealousy of the angels. And
that time was chronicled in her soul as " the
winter our baby died, and l first knew how
dear | was to John"
