Colonel before he sails for India. Tossy wished
to visit Edinburgh again, and here is Edinburgh;
we arrived two days ago. What misery it
would have spared me If only the last visit to
Edinburgh had seen me in my true cOlOrs; it
was reserved for this occasion to unmask me!
This evening, after dinner at six, 1 went out to
post note from TOssy to her father while she
stayed behind to look at the London papers
which had Just arrived. When returned she
greeted me with curious little laugh and ex-
claimed: "Isn't this funny, Theo? Here's quite

day by Mr.. I. Lancey against Mr. Martin. They
don't seem to know that T. Lancey was quite
otherwise engaged"

The time for explanation had come, and instead
of having the advantage of making voluntary
confession, was driven to it: and TOssy would
never believe that had intended to confess.

And desperation aiding me, related to Tossy in

credulOus and almost amused, but then her ex-
preston changed, and she buried her face in her
handkerchief. When had finished was too
Inundated to plead for myself, but when l at

and, turning her back upon me, said:

proud Of your being such good player, and

Here q sob interrupted poor Tossy, but she
recovered herself, and went on stilI with face
averted:

like that under false pretences; and papa win be
very angry; and don't believe now that I'm

Here Tossy fairly broke down, and ran from
the room with her handkerchief before her eyes.

Quite number OF Uncle Sam s men

In response to inquiries for his view
on the result in Massachusetts Gov
Butler sends out the following:
| BosTON, Mass, Nov. TN answer
to your question, 1T IS easy as to the
cause of the result in Massachusetts,
Last year I had $4,000 votes. The
largest vote ever polled was In the
Garfield election in 1880. Garfield
polled l65, 900; Hancock, $4,000; total,
277.00O. This year the vote is 3l3, 1000.
of which l have $4,000. This enor.
nous increase has been caused by the
free use of money, fraud and corrup-
tion of my opponents. More votes
have been cast than will be in the
next presidential year. The 5000 or
5000 plurality of my opponent was
more than lost in the city Of Boston.
Massachusetts is therefore surely
democratic. If I make another state
canvass with a further gain, when
man has increased the democratic vote
from $4,000 to l52,OO5 in three years,
is there any need OF an answer to
your question. Whatever my pro.
gramme will be, l am pleased with
the result. I had rather have my
vote than to be elected by 1000. In
that case it would he said that Massa-
chusetts is a republican state. She
has a large reserve vote, which in a
presidential election will come out.
For we have had them all out and
them, and the next presi-
Dental election, with judicious plat.
form and popular nomination, at
least we should keep all republican
men at home to take care of Butler.
instead of sending both into Ohio and
Indiana to corrupt those states.

NEWS NOTES.

Mandan, the rival Of Bismarck, has
spent $500, 900 in buildings this year.
The Northern Pacific spent about
$l75. 900 in putting up machine shops
at the three.year-Old town.
Duke Gwin, famous fifty years ago
as a Mississippi politician, is in Chi
cago. He was marshal under Jack
son, and was once beaten for congress
by jeff Davis. California is now his
home.
Scientific men now claim that the
maximum speed of the trotting horse
will be attained in $40 years, and that
this speed will be very near one mile
in % seconds. These figures are de-
duced from a calculation on the trot-
ting records from 1S43 to 1882. 1t is
thought that the trotter will eventu-
ally show better time than the runner.
An exchange says that the largest
cattle ranch in the world is located at
the head of Red liver, Texas. and is
owned by Charles Goodnight. Its
owner began buying land four years
ago, securing 100000 acres at thirty
FIVE cents per acre. In the meantime
the price has advanced from 81 to s.
per acre, but he is still buying, and
controls 100000 acres. TO inclose
his landed possessions $50 miles of
fence are required. On the range he
has 10000 cattle.
Northern Pacific officials say they
are tired OF contradicting rumors
about further appointments and
changes. Said one of the highest Of
the heads of departments recently:
''Print a contradiction in the same
paragraph in which you give rumor
as to new manager. If the right
man should spring up, doubtless an
appointment would be made; but you
may say positively that at present not
a single name is being considered for
the managerial place. The story
about Dixon taking charge Of the pas
