CHAMBERS HAND sCoRNED.
The Agile Naval Secretary Openly
Snubbed by Gen. Tappan.

CONCORD, n. Fl. July 13.-Secretary
Chandler is the happiest man imagin-
able at the turn affairs have taken.
This evening he was at supper early.
He walked around shaking hands
with friends and foes. At one table
ex-speaker Woolson and Attorney
General Tappan were sitting. He
greeted Woolson, and then went
around to shake hands with Gen.
Tappan. The general looked at the
outstretched digits, and said with I'M
mistakable emphasis: II do not wish
to take your hand, sir"
what do you mean by that?" re
torted the agile secretary.
II mean just what I say" respond
ed Gen. Tappan, with freezing dig
nifty.
"Well, I am glad to know where
we stand, " came from the discon-
certed little man, who weighs about
half Tappan's avoirdpois. Then he
abstractedly wenthis way. The snub
is said to be due to Tappan's resent
ment at Chambers published charge
that he was delinquent in his official
duty against railroads. The old free
soil war-horse is the man who resents
such things in a blunt, manly way.

A Blue Blood Beggar.

PORT JERvIS, N. Y. July 14.-Some
days ago a shabbily dressed, feeble
woman of about forty-three years of
age was visible on the streets here. At
the police station where she slept she
gave the name of Elizabeth Benjamin
of Staffordshire, England On the 9TH
she disappeared, but was heard from
yesterday in Middletown. Mrs. Ben
jamin is on her way to New York and
has walked all the way from San
Francisco.
Inquiry reveals the fact that she
was the daughter of
SIR EDWARD HARCOURT,
at one time one of the most brilliant
young English orators. Her mother
was variety actress who lived in
Wales to escape the prosecutions of
Sir Edwards family, who opposed his
mesaIliance. When the babe was
born she was christened Pauline Eliz-
abeth Harcourt. She was given
all the advantages of a
superior education, and early
in life evinced great poetical genius
Her mother was a direct descendant
of Sir Philip Francis, who is believed
to have been the author of the cele-
brated political essays which startled
all England from 1859 to 1777, and
which were signed Junius.
Walter P. Benjamin, of South Car
Dina, nephew of Judah p Benjamin,
at one time treasurer of the donfeder-
ate States of America, met Miss Pau
line at Swansea, Wales, when she was
but seventeen years old A mutual
attachment was formed. Her fathers
death, however, summoned her home.
Benjamin, who was but %, followed
her home. and contrived to see her
occa sionally. Finally the young
lady's mother heard of these stolen
interviews and terrible scene eusued.
Pauline begged to be allowed to mar
ry her American sweetheart. but her
mother remained firm, and finally
sent her to st. Andrews in Scotland,
to school.
By means of prearranged signals
the young lady, previous to leaving
home, managed to inform her lover
whittier she was going. Young Ben
iamin found it convenient to visit St.
Andrews frequently, and, in 1860,
they were married on Pauline's TWEEN
tieth birthday. When Lady Har-
court heard the news of her daugh-
ter's secret marriage, and learned
that she had fled from the school at
ST. Andrews. she was stricken with

THE POLK TRIAL
Got a Jury at Last.

NASHVILLE, July 1.-THE twelfth
juror in the Polk trial was secured
this morning, and the jury is now
complete. Attorneys for the defense
moved to quash the Indictment, in
which it was held that the first, third,
fourth, fifth, sixth and seventh counts
did not conform to the requirements
of the constitution, in that no specific
facts were given, hence there were no
facts before the grand jury on which
to properly base the indictments.
Judge Allen said he would take up
the case again Monday.

WAS 1T SUICIDE?
How Did j. r. Lopez Get Into the
Boiling Soap Vat?

How Did j. r. Lopez Get Into the
Boiling Soap Vat?
OSHKOSH, July 14-The Times gives
currency to a rumor that J. r. Lopez,
whose bones were found in a boiling
soap vat in his own establishment,
committed suicide In support of this
theory it is shown that he made a
codicil to his will shortly before his
death, and that those in the factory
noticed he acted somewhat strangely
in that he was more facetious than
usual. and that he paid man large
sum-ten dollars-for doing some
trivial work of painting; and besides
all this, that he had his supper sent to
him instead Of going home after it.
He went to his lawyers Gary & Ber-
ry, and had his life policy made over
to his second wife. Lopez had an
elegant residence on Church street.
near the track of the Central. He
fairly worshipped his wife, who is
nearly distracted over his sad death.

CHAPTER XIII.
THE WIDOW BURRILL RECEIVES AN UNEXpECT1
PRoPoSAL-v1LLAINY's DESPERATION.

The W1DOW EURKlLL RECEIVES AN UNEXPECTED
PRoposAL-v1LLAINY's DESPERATION.
To return to Jared Clark.
Finding Cecil had left the city, he drove
to the residence OF Mrs. Burrill.
He felt sure that his missing treasure box
was in the possession of the heiress, and he
could not think she would neglect to use its
contents to effect his overthrow. He was in
close quarters, and pressed for money, to
obtain which he would be obliged to present
himself at the bank, which he dared not do.
Owing to bad speculations, his finances were
embarrassedand needed immediate attention
to save them from wreck. Extravaganza
had almost stranded him. Every move was
attended by fear. He scarcely knew wheth-
or to remain or fly.
Something desperate must be done, or the
game would be lost, and his course checked
forever. It was q maddening prospect
prison celia criminals end! Scared as his
conscience was, he could not help shrinking
from the grip of the law. It meant more
than mere imprisonment-it meant the
downfall of all his grand schemes, the loss
Of every dollar of his ill-gotten wealth, and
term of imprisonment which he could not
outlive. His declining years would be filled
with the bitterness Of destitution, relieved
by no hope of betterment There seemed
but one way to save himself from penury.
Mrs. Burrill received him with wonder
full cordiality. In her estimation, he was
the quintessence of gentility and the model
of manhood.
"Really, Mr.. Eldridge, this is an unex-
rected pleasure!" she said, in dulcet-that
is what she considered dulcet-tones.
He explained, with much elaboration, that
he was, owing to ill-health, about to'ieave
for pastures new. He was sorry to tear
himself away from such agreeable company,
but the exigencies of his case left him no al
Tentative, ETC., and he came to say parting
word.
'How sudden cried the belle.
Rather, Mrs. Burrill-rather.
''It is quite cruel in you to take yourself
oil SO unceremoniously. You'll offend
everybody. I'm astoundedw
Disappointed would have been the most
appropriate word. Mrs. Burrill had strug-
gled hard to win second husband, bu: the
man Of her choice fought shy. She could
not understand why he did not fall before
her charms. She had received some half
dozen offers during the few years of her
widowhood, but did not consider them ELI
gible. Mr.. Eldridge was her choice-Mr.
Eldridge's pocket et-bcok-and she fancied
herself competent judge. How she should
mourn if her hearts affection were unre-
Quilted!
Il don't wish to go, my dear Mrs Burrill,
but health cannot be neglected" responded
Clark.
The belle sighed.
''Nny You fully recuperatei Pny make
no mistahe in your route; be careful as to
the places you visit"
II shall indeed; my first stopping-placs
will be Boston, very favorable city.
Now, Boston, to Mrs. Burrilfs mind, was
of all cities the loveliest Her husband
she had worried him to death-alyays felt
horriaed at the mention Of it, and kept .
good distance sway. After his demise. she
