Eliza held herself still, but she only fell
asleep when dawn was breaking and the
milkman whooping in the area.
As she waited at the breakfast-table she
fancied her employers looked at her curious
ly; and after the meal was over her master
said, gravely:
" Eliza, must speak with you; shut the
door, do not wish the other servants to
hear.n
Eliza obeyed.
Then make no scene, y said the gentle
man, quietly, g but give me the key of your
large trunk the one in the pantry here
Eliza tottered and supported herself
against the side-boarl.

said Eliza i" and, indeed she said, with
an attempt at spirit, q I've stolen nothing
from you, and you've no right to open my
trunk
The other gentleman, whom Eliza had
first seen in the hall as she peeped over the
stairs the night before, here threw back his
coat, and revealed shield which was pin
ned to the vest beneath then crossed the
room, and opening the door, beckoned in q
man who carried locksmith's keys and
tools.
"Open that trunk" he said.

the officer, as the trunk flew open. ~ ar

And Eliza, as she fall forward with n
Shrek saw that the dreadful contents of the
Saratoga trunk was dead body, only half
wrapped in what seemed like sheet.
In prison Eliza had time to resolve to be
honest thereafter and although it was
proven that the woman who purposely lost
the check was the true murderess, Eliza
had to confess to theft to clear herself. Her
character was ruined, and but for the chart

she had left so ill-natured, good Mrs.

INVESTIGATING a sEANcE.

IN its New York letter, describing one.
dollar admittance seance up town.
81 was on the committee against fraud,
and when the door was opened, revealing
the medium tied fast in the chair, was
invited to see that the knots were secure.
In the performance of that duty took oc-
casion to look for the concealed organ; the
chair was common, except that its uphol-
stored bottom seemed thicker than its gen.
eral style warranted. Ifelt underneath, and
there, covered by removable lower cloth,
was fastened the real medium of musical
communication between the spirits and the
audience. The alert girl was quick to play
part in which, doubtless, she had been
carefully instructed.
81 What are you doing, sir? she ex-
claimed, rising in all the wrath of insulted
innocence.
Every spiritualist of that company Of
some forty or so believed that l had taken
some outrageous liberty with the tender
creature. She completed her task expertly
by bursting into hysterical weeping. The
fond father came holly to the front. !
grabbed up the chair. He slammed it
down. Iprotested that wished to investi-
gate

ment with a carefully manifested effort,

WAsHlNGToN,s LOVE AFFAIRS.

Warlike sentiments on certain subjects
still fingered in the heart of Washington on
chat peaceful morning 100 years ago when
he resumed possession of this city. AS he
crossed Spuyten Duyvil Greek and made
his way upon the island the night before
he received a message 60 larry, as Sin Guy
| Carleton was not vet embarked, So he
ldirected his steps 70 . great imposing wood
en- house ON Washington Heights, still
standing and known. as the Jumel place.
This house twenty-seven years before had
been his Mecca. Here he courted the
beautiful and wealthy Mary Phillipse 1; here
for weeks he fingered in the light of her
blue eyes here he left her at her fathers
till he could hurry OFF and capture Fort
Duquesne and come back, and here at that
fatal interval came Capt. Morris and cap
tured Mary Phillipse and married her be-
fore Washington's return. 1t was an awful
lesson TO the father of his country and he
solemnly resolved never to be caught out
again In matters of that kind. 1t was the
second blow first the lowland beauty, Miss
Grimes, afterwards mother of the Lee
family, and then the faithless Mary. He
had somewhat recovered from the jilting on
this peaceful morning l speak of, for the
Morris family had largely multiplied by
this time; but the spot was still sore
Tradition has 1t that he went over and sat
again in the Phillipse parlors and mediate

AZ Even-Tlde.

At Even-Tide.
We meet again In the meadow sweet;
We meet when the long, long years
Have borne away on their laggard feet
Glad youth with It's smiles and tears.
We have chang'd, dear love, both you and
From that which we used to be,
And the idols OF each all shattered lie
on the shrines where we bowed the knee
But forth again let US wander, dear,
AS OF old, hand clasp'd In hand,
Where the flowers that bloom when autumn Is
here
Are all bright DER the meadow-land.
The asters are blown ON the browning sod,
And over the open plain
Lies yellow sheet OF the golden rod,
All starred with the dark vervain
See the stars are lit In the sky, dear love;
And the winds as they softly blow,
Seem a worthless pray'r to the God above
From the heart OF the world below.
Let the past be dead aye, evermore
For the present alone is ours;
Though faded the garlands LIES summer wore,
We will gather its autumn flowers.

Hvrrnb for ,,,e Man who Paws,

Hurrnh for the Man Who Pnyss
There are men of brains VINO count their gains
By the million dollars or more;
They buy and sell, and really do well
On the money of the poor.
They manage to get quite deep in debt
BY various crooked ways;
And so we say that the man to-day
Is the honest man who pays.
When in the town he never sneaks down
Some alley or way-back street;
With head erect he will never defect,
But boldly each man will meet
He counts the cost before he is lost
In debts mysterious maze,
And he never buys In manner unwlse,
But calls for his bill and pays.
There's q certain air OF debonnair
In the man who buys for cash;
He is not afraid OF being betrayed
By a jack-leg shyster's dash.
What he says to you he will certainly do,
II it's cash or thirty days;
And when he goes out, the clerks will shout,
Hurrah for the man who paysi

STRANGE FATLITY.

Destiny.

Mr.. s. +. Gilman has Just received from
Minden, Nebraska, a paper containing a
detailed statement of the dc sth OF his uncle,
John p. Gilman, at that place, which occur
red accidentally Sunday, July 9th.
Dr.. Gilman, in addition 10 his human
practice, was also a noted veterinary sur
geon, and did large practice in that line
On the day mentioned he had called to see
a fine family horse which had been III ICED
under his treatment. The animal is said
10 have been as a rule tractabie and gentle,
but on this occasion IS he was led from the
stable he wheeled and kicked viciOusly al
the doctor, striking him on the throat and
seyering the windpipe, causing his death
in few hours.
The doctor was the father of Mrs. Farm
ham, wife s. +. Farnham, of this city. He
was born in Oneida county, New York, and
his wife died here while visiting friends in
1882, since which time the doctor has been
again married. He leaves three grown
daughters and son by his first wife and
one child by his last wife.
The strangest part of the story is that he
is the last OF three brothers, all OF whom
were killed by horses. Mr.. Samuel Gil

thrown from a colt he had just purchas. d.
Isaac Gilman, the father OF 5. + Gilman,
while out driving with his son some years
ago, was thrown from his wagon and
killed by another team col!iiing with mis-
own, and Mr.. S. +. Gilman narrowly es-
capped like fate, being thrown some twenty
feet in the air by the accident and
falling upon the dead body OF his father.

THE TICKET.

As will be seen by our special
dispatches this morning, Sedaiia's
chosen son did not prove the chosen
son of the democratic state conven-
ton for treasurer. This is to be
deeply regretted. The more so be-
cause, in the honest opinion OF the
masses of the party, of all the able
aspirants mentioned for the place he
is limited Il be the most able, and
the fact that he was slaughtered to
crafty the malice engendered in the
bosoms Of some of the delegates, be-
cause they could rot have their way
with their own favorites for other
positions, is rot to the credit Of those
delegates or to the future advantage
of their candidates, as they may
hereafter learn. However, the
ticket as nominated is good one and
sure to win, and it will receive the
support Of the BAzoo as far as is
consistent with its independent stand.
AS to the personnel of the nominees
We shall have more to say hereafter.
