THE SAVANNAH MORNING NEWS: SUNDAY OCTOBER 70, 1884,

forbade her mentioning it. She felt sure
that Mrs. lie Verrier knew nothing ofthis
letter to Clare which had fallen like a
thunderbolt upon them, indeed. Mrs. re
Yerrier had given the letter from her son
which recalled her to New Orleans to Mrs.
HOnfleur to read, as she frequently did
her letters from him, and, as he had NOT
alluded to Glare at all in that, Of course
she knew nothing of it.
Though Glare was so i'll and engrossed
so much Of Mrs. Honfeur's time, vet the
latter was not unmindful of the duties of
hospitality. She attended to everything
necessary for the comfort of her guest on
her homeward route, and Mrs. LIE Verrier
left attended by the blessings of all on the
place, white and black.
81 shall miss her more than anyone else
will" said Mr.. Green, ''she was so much
company for me, particularly of late.
since Miss Glare has been so unwell. and
we have lost her society"
1t was many weeks ere Glare was able
to take her place again in the family
circle, and when she did she was only
there at meal time, preferring always the
solitude Of her own room.
Her Uncle HOughtOn, hearing of her sick
ness, came up and spent week or two
with her, and brought the package which
Mr.. LIE Verrier had left with him. Glare
had never asked any questions about it,
and her mother did not allow her to know
that it had been received. She put it away
among her own things, fearing that If
Glare got hold of it it would make her
worse by arousing old memories.
Clare would not allow her uncle to talk
with her of what had happened, nor even
to mention Arthur's name. He talked it
over freely with his sister when they wera
alone together. He told her he knew that
somehow Arthur was labOring under
some misrepresentation, for he was the
most miserable man he ever saw. That
during the many years he had known
him, until now, he had never seen him
manifest anything but unvarying cheer
fulness, that it was one of his character
istics which was remarked by everybody,
and now his whole being seemed to have
undergone a change. A heavy gloom had
settled upon him; that he went through
the duties of his office mechanically; that
instead of the pleasant, genial greeting
with which he had been in the habit of
meeting his friends, he now Stunned all
intercourse with them. ''There is some
mystery about it, he said, ''that it is i'm
possible for me to fathOm."

CHAPTER XVII.

When the mail came which brought the
letter from Mr.. lie Verrier which Miss
Thompson knew must bee an answer to
the first garbled one she sent, she was
obliged to make partial contldant of
Flora. She did not know how else to de-
tain Jem long enough to read the letter,
and see whether it would do to send on,
or whether she would have to write an
other. If the latter, Jem must be kept
until 1t could be done, as he had but the
one letter to take home, and it would not
do to keep it and send none at all, as the
boy would be sure to miss it. She told
Flora to coax him into the servants hall,
and treat him to cake and wine, which
she furnished her for the occasion, and
keep him quiet as long as possible. After
enjOining the utmost secrecy upon Flora,
she told her that she wanted to read Ar
thurs letter to Glare, just for fun.
She opened the wafer by aid Of steam,
which she had previously had the fore
thought to have ready for the occasion,
and was cOngratulating herself that it
was not closed with sealing wax, which
was then so much in use, and which had
it been stamped with private seal would
have taxed her ingenuity to the utmost,
if. indeed, it had not entirely frustrated
her purpose. She pondered long on
the contents of the letter. She was not
satisfied with the tone of tit breathed
if he felt aggrieved and injured at the
large share of her attention and thoughts
and time which she bestowed upon Mr..
Green, and she decided on the whole that
she would be obliged to let it 90 forward,
for the sheet was entirely filled, and she
could not find space to add single cut
ting sentence. So she sealed it again, and
ringing the bell for Flora, told her to give
Jem his satchel and tell HIM there was
nothing in it for her to-day. Meantime
she had sent Mr.. lie Verrier another letter
purporting to be from Glare, expressing
the most open and undisguised admira-
tion for Mr.. Green, and, indeed, writing OF
him in terms of impassioned love. She
suppressed Clare's letter to him, as she
had done all the previous ones that had
reached her. She had gone on insidiOusly
step by step, until she felt the time had
come to strike final blow, and she wrote
this letter fully intending to rouse him by
it TO the point that his self-respect would
demand it of him to release Clare from

ANDREW JACKsONs sNUFF-BOx
How the Hero of New Orleans Walked
Down the Centre of a Dinner Table.
NreJn;JJo atfa.

Gen. Jackson was attending an old
fashioned barbecue somewhere in the
neigh5orhood of Nashville, and he and his
friends were having grand old time ffOl-
licking, feasting and fighting, as was the
fashion in those days. The General was
sitting near the head of the long table,
which was crowded with people eating din
ner when he heard some one near by say:
''They'll get Patton this time" Patton
Anderson was a great friend of JacksOn's,
notorious as fighter, and always in
row.
whats that?'' says jackson.
Some one told him that Anderson was
in big fight down at the lower end of
the table with dozen or more men.
Without waiting to hear more Jackson
sprung upon the table, and to the aston
ishment Of the multitude went Gathering
down the middle of it, scattering dishes
and edibles right and left, crying as he
ran, solve it to him Patton, Pm c0min',"
As he neared sne bottom of the table
where the fight was going on, he put his
hand behind him under his coat as if
drawing pistol. This the people along
the table saw, and crying, Don't shootp'
Don't shoot!" fled away like frightened
rabbits. The stampede communicated to
those who were fighting with Anderson,
and they, too, fled, leaving the gentleman
master of the field. Then Gen. Jackson
pulled his snuff-bOX and offered Patton
pinch.
The same Anderson was aiterward
killed in brawl at Murfreesbor0, and on
the trial Of his slayers, who were indicted
for killing, Jackson was called on by the
defense to testify to the dangerous char
acter of Anderson.
General" asked the lawyer who was
conducting the defense, ''are you &C
quainted with the general character
which Patton Anderson bore for peace
ableness?"
''Patton Anderson was the natural born
enemy of all rascals," was Jackson's an
swer, and that was all the lawyer could
get out of him.

FORTY-EIGHTH CONGRESS-.
Senate.

WASHINGTON, d. c., June 2l.-A cues
ton arose regarding the reference of the
House bill amending the Thurman act.
Mr.. Van Wyck moved to refer it to the
Pacific Railroads Committee, judging
from its action the other day that the
Judiciary Committee would take no ac-
action on question of this kind. Mr..
Van Wyck, proceeding, made allusion to
the action of the House on this bill. The
Chairman called him to order, and stated
his intention hereafter of enforcing the
rule requiring Senator to take his seat
when out of order and not proceed unless
a motion to that effect is made. On mo-
ton of Senator Pendleton the Senator
from Nebraska was permitted to proceed
in order.
Mr.. Beck questioning the Chairman's
ruling, elected the further assurance that
this rule will be henceforth enforced.
1t was understood on the floor that GER
tain Democratic Senator'S were going to
attack the Judiciary Committee because
t its compromise with the Union Pacific
Senator Van Wick, proceeding, en-
deavored to show that the Judiciary
Committee was unduly solicitous about
the interests of the road He also
charged the Interior Department with
questionable transactions regarding the
Pacific roads He said the Union Pacific
detied all legislation, and it was dis
grace to the Nation if Congress submit
ted to it. The action of the Judiciary
Committee had only been learned through
the newspapers. He strenuously pro-
tested against such course. 1t ap-
peared that the railroad not only owned
the country but had an immense hold on
the Senate Judiciary Committee.
He charged that the Union Pacific has
been run for years for the money they
could make by gambling in its stocks and
that stock was worthless, and gamblers
had subjected the younger Adams to just
such bunko game as was played on his
father year ago.
Mr.. Garland defended the Committees
action.
Mr. Hoar said the committee stood
ready to promptly take all necessary
measures for enforcing the Thurman act,
and upon representations that it was
their intention to manage the road
in the future so as to pay its in.

mittee had deemed it polite to pass the
resolutions in the belief that it would ad-

obligations.

drew his motion and the bill went to the
