A Story with Great Deal OF Life in H.

The departments were Just begin
ming to disgorge the great slices of
humanity they had swallowed in the
morning. / was standing by one of the
great piles as the men and women
began to come out slowly at the first.
The first two or three, warned by ex-
perience, had umbrellas, under which
they went jogging slowly home at 10
clerkly gait The fourth was a woman
in widows clothing-rather shabby
clothing which had been worn a long
time. She was thin, shrunken, gray
and pale, and seemed broken with a
weight of bad years-a sad memory of
better days. The carriage of the Sec
rotary was rolling to and fro before
the entrance of the building. His gray
whiskered colored coachman with diff
ticulty restrained his blooded horses
The Secretary was signing his name a
great many times on great many diff
ferent documents in his lofty, velvety
office. He might be out in minute
He might not be out for an hour. Just
as the ghostly widow came slowly down
the big steps the fine old coachman
turned his prancing pair toward the
entrance. The poor old gentlewoman
came down TO the sidewalk with an evil
dent difficulty which spoke of rheum-
atism. She was perplexed and puzzled
by the unex pected rain-storm. She had
no umbrella, and L don't believe she
had car fare. The black angel on the
Secretary's carriage spied her as she
stood in the pouring rain, and recog-
niZed under all times DISCUSSES the
features her fashionable friends had
not seen for years. It's wonderful
what sharp eyes these good old colored
"uncles" and "mommies' have. He
drove up TO the curb at once, and, lean
ing over on his perch, invited the poor
puzzled woman TO get in the Secretary's
carriage and ride home. Without a
thought of the consequences to the
faithful old fool on the box she muir
INJURED her address, fortunately near at
hand, and sank back luxuriously on
the soft cushions of the handsome car
riage. Taking all the risks, the fine
old fellow drove carefully yet quickly
10 the shabby clearinghouse, and was
back long before the Secretary was
ready for him. l would never have
known had the loyal old servant not
told me that the widows husband was
a General who was famous when the
Secretary was unknown, although I
could have leen quite sure that old
Thomas drove her carriage when she
had one.-II Washington letter.

Corsicans and The French.

4 Corsican' hates bodily labor of all
kinds. He can saunter q whole day
away basking in the sun, smoking and
chatting. But he is never so happy as
when he has a gun on his shoulder or
is mounted on horseback. Handling
the spade or the hoe he looks upon as
unworthy freeman. The very boys,
who should he working in the fields by
the side of their fathers, are seen prowl-
ing after the birds armed with stones,
which they throw to n great distance
with much deXterity. In France the
patient industry of the peasants covers
even rocks with soil. In Corsica the
boons that nature lavishes are too often
neglected and lands are left waste that
would richly reward the cultivator's
toll. That they do not, like the French,
look well ahead and carefully consider
consequences is shown, not only by
their Incidence. but also by their wild
passions. \ Frenchman will go far,
very far indeed, in shrill abuse, but he
stops just short of giving a blow, even
with his fist In the midst of his pas
sion he bears in mind that he who
strikes first is always wrong, and greatly
wrong in the eyes of the law. The
Corsican's rage sweeps him away, and
if by ill-lucl he bears about him his
pistol or his knife, he is quick ut using
it. On the other hand, these ISLANDERS
are hospitable among strangers and
deal with them fairly. They do not
mark them out as their prey, as the
French so commonly do. The shop
keepers are honest.

At last the truth may be told Of
the killing of James Carey. 1t
was not to be told SO long as a
shadow Of chance remained to pre-.
vent the sacrifice Of patriots life

whom he deliberately swept off

did deliberatly kill james Carey,
and ho deliberately killed him be-

was no struggle. Carey made no
attack on O'Donnell. O'Donnell
never set up the plea of self
defense. Had he been permitted
to tell the truth tho flimsy subter-
fuge of self.defense would never
have detracted from an act he
considered meritori0us in the sight
of God and man. lie knew the
consequences Of the act and he
would have manfully accepted
them.

O'Donnell did not know Carey
