MRS. DANENHOwER CONTENTED.
1t WAS impossible to fml to notice the change
which had come over Mrs. DanenhOwer between
the time Of her irst meeting with her son, in tho
morning, and the afternoon, when she sat beside
him and PRESSED her hand upon his temple, to quiet
him as he lay upon the lounge and
cxcted himself in conversation with his too numer-
OUs visitors Then she was quiet and thoughtful
and the vel could not hlde thc expression OF great
concern on her face. Now she was serene and happy
and anxious only that her son should not weary HIM
self in his efforts to please his friends aud visitors.

some excltementin 1t, but it is 50 full of pleasure

OF Lieutenant Danenhowcr's companiona,one had
no friend to greet him when the Celtic came into
her dock. 1t was the Chinaman Long Sing, who
stood neatly dressed, sleek and fat. at the entrance
to the forward cabin, which lin the second Of

DG. NEWCOMB IN GOOD CONDITION.
The terrible experiences of the last year
have left no marks upon DR.. Newcomb. He is
a Young man, coinpactly built. of short stature,
with browniSh hair and beard. Like Lieuten-
