IL Was q Han.

Some time agO-never minii
where-twO sprightly and beautiful
young ladies were visiting their
cousin; another SprightIy and beau
tiful young lady. who, like her
guests, was of that happy age that
turns everything into fun. All
three were fond ofpIaetical jokes, ard
were constantly playing all sorts of
pranks with each other. AL three
occupied room on the ground floor.
Two Of the young ladies attended
a party on certain fatal night. and
did not get home until 11.3O o'clock.
AS 1t was late they concluded not
to disturb the household so they
quietly stepped into their room
through the low open window.
But it seems that about a half IN
hour after they had left for the parts,
a young Methodist minister caIled
at the house where they were stay
ing, and craved a nights lodging,
which, of course, was granted As
ministers always have the best Of
everything. the old lady put him to
sleep in the best room, and the
young lady (Fannie). who had not
gone to the party, was intrusted
with the duty Of sitting up for the
absent ones, and of informing them
of the change of rooms. She took
up her post in the parlor. But alas,
sleep overcome her,and she departed
on an excursion to the land OF
dreams.

MOODS. A novel. By Louisa NJ. Alcott
Boston: Roberts Brsthe-f; Salt Lake:
James Dwyer. Price, $3.50.
Very few artists have delighted
more people than Louisa NJ. Alcott,
whose charming books number a
dozen or more, all familiar to the
reading public. "Moods" is not a
late production; on the contrary it
was the first novel written by the
author, then a girl of IS. When
first published it was altered from
the text, and as the writer says, 1.-The
original purpose of the story was
lost sight of, and marriage appeared
to be the theme instead of an at
tempt to show the mistakes of q
moudy nature, guided by impulse.
not principle" 1t is HOW republished
with all its imperfections on it's

young people, full of good things,
and entertaining all through. The
author has produced more finished
stories, but none inwhich she ought
to feel deeper pride than this, her
first-born. Moods" is elegantly
gotten up by the Roberts Brothers.

Land Frauds.

ST. Louis, May Ga gigantic scheme of fraud
and forgery has been unearthed by United State,
District Attorney Bliss. A firm, under the name
OF Burt & Miller, occupied room at the corner OF
Fifth and Chestnut, from which they sent out
circulars offering Government land scrip for sale
The authorities made descent OH the Office, but
the principals had flown. Meanwhile John L
Cameron, believed To be q confederate cf the
gang, was arrested a. Sioux Falls, Dakota, by TIE

Yenkton, whithera Deputy United States Sheriff
had gone TO bring him here. District Attorney
Bliss believes there Is organized ring who have
cOunterfeited the land scrip, and that operations
have been very extensive. He says they realize 90
per cent. of value Of scrip ana that the gang
must have realized from 100000 Ia $500 600 IN
ST Louis. he says they succeeded in swiniling 10
the amount of $50, 0O0. Further arrests and de-

The first infOTmstiOn of this scheme was oh

Woe unto you, pharisees, hypocrites! The
Republican party dying of the accumulated
iniquities of twenty years seems Just to have

CAPE VINCENT, y. Y, May A bit of society
news is current here which has not yet found its
way into the columns Of the daily press, but
which may be relied upon as the general belief In
this village. 1t may not be known to ali your
readers that Cape Vincent in summer is q quite
noted place of resort on the S. Lawrence, just at
the head of the Thousand Islands, .and one of the
termini of the Rome a1d Wsteftown Railway,
where steamer connections are made forall points
down the river. The Cape" as it is commonly
called, is very old settled place, named after
one Count Vincent de Paul, French nobleman
of the old regime, who settled here after the
French Revolution and prescription. Some few
Alsace Lorraine families also came here, and
among theirs family bearing The old aristo-
cratic name of Van Wee hten, the last survivor of
which died some years ago, leaving wealthy
widow CT rare accom- plishments and a small
family of children, among whom are
two boys, now young men. Mrs. Van Veehten
resides in New York, living in elegant style and
moving in the first circles. 1t was known that
she was an intimate acquaintance of Chester A
Arthur. but il was not known how intimate until
the time of the Chicago Convention, when it
transpred that the first telegram sent by the then
nominee and chosen candidate for the Vice
Presidency was transmitted TO the lovely and ac-
complished widow Van Vechten. The fact was
made known to an intimate friend by one of the
young Van Vechtens, who usually spend their
summers at the "Cape." little skilful CUES
lioning OF the young man developed the fact that
the distinguished candidate was engaged to mis-
mother. Intimate aequaintances of the widow
limited ct the affair in their letters and the soft
inn eaehment was not denied, and it was con-
hdenuy expected that the affair would come
off, very soon after the election. From
some cause, however, il was delayed
and then came the Inauguration,
and then the assassination of the President with
oil its terrible weeks of uncertainty and thea the
Vice President takes the oath and is President of
the United States; and the widow Van vechten
is the widow Van Vechten still. The solution OF
the problem lies in the fact. undoubtedly, that
the two young gentlemen who bear the classic
name of Van Vechien have during years of idle
uess. accustomed TO no control but their own
sweet win, and having unlimited cash at their
disposal acquired habits whieh, to say the least,
would reflect no credit upon the occupants OF the
Presidential Mansion, and hence the once immi-
nent wedding seems to have been indefinitely
postponed. At all events such is the view taken
OF the case by the elite of Cape Vincent. whose
quaintance with the lady gives to the story an air

The circumstances which go TO make up the
merit of this BILL and the raid which gave fame to
the men engaged in the expedition, are vivid
beyond description. 1t was the deepest laid and
most daringly executed adventure of the whole
late War and the only thing that blears its magnif-

was intended tomeet. Its conception and execu-
ton are none the less brialliant The advan-
tages were mostly obvious, and are known to thou
sands of the Sentinel readers.
In April, 1862 General o. NJ. Mitchell
with his command OF Federal soldiers,
had proceeded south to point not many
miles north OF Chattanooga. Before making
an effort TO take Chattanooga, he de-
sired to cut off telegraphic aud railroad commu-
nicaNon south. In General Mitchell's command
was Union spy and scout named ]. ]. Andrews,
a Kentuckian. This daring soldier conceived the
idea of invading the Confederate domains, cap
turing locomotive and train of cars, dashing
into Chattanooga. cutting the wires. burning
bridge and meeting MITCHELL who was to capture
the place at the same time. The task was hsz-
srdous one. and demanded brave men. good lead

one of the best soldiers Of the command, and, at
