things were told me in . verv gentle
manner, and my dear father, with many
loving kisses, begged me as last favor
to him to make no objection. y
And what did Lord Richard say?"
looked up at him. He stood near
q window looking out over our fine old
park, and when he felt my glance he
colored deeply and bowed. Lord Talbot
said rather angrily, Richard, Miss
Esther waits for you to speak," Then
Lord Richard turned toward me and said
something, hut in such q low voice that
l did not catch it's meaning. ssMy son
says you do him great honor-and
pleasure" exclaimed Lord Talbot, and
he kissed me and led me toward the un.
willing bridegroom.
"Of course I ought to have hated him,
Selma, but I did not. On the contrary,
l fell desperately in love with him. Per-
haps it would have been far better for
me if I had not. Richard read my heart
in my face, and despised his easy con-
quest. As for me, I suffered in that
weak and tortu1iug suspense of timid
schoolgirl in love. I dressed myself in
the best of my plain, unbecoming child
ish toilets, and watched YEARLY every
day for visit from my promised hus-
band; but saw no more of him until
our wedding morning. By this time
some very rich clothing had arrived for
me, and also London maid, and think,
even then my appearance was fair enough
to have somewhat conciliated Richard
Talbot. But he scarcely looked at me.
The ceremony was scrupulously and
coldly performed, my father, aunt and
governess being present on my side,
and on Richards his father and his
three maiden sisters.
II never saw my father alive again;
he died the following week, and the
mockery of our marriage festivities at
Talbot Castle was suspended at once in
Difference to my grief. Then we came.to
London, and my lord selected for his own
use the left wing of the house, and po-
itely placed at my disposal all the re-
naming apartments. I considered this
an intimation that T was not expected to
lntrude upon his quarters, and scrup-'
ulously avoided every approach to them.
l knew from the first that all attempts
to win him would be useless, and indeed
l felt too sorrowful and Inundated to try.
During the few weeks that we remained
under the same roof We seldom met, and
1 am afraid I did not make these rare
at all pleasant. I felt wronged
and miserable, and my wan face and
heavy eyes were only a reproach to
him."
ooh, what monster, Kate!"
"NoI quite that, Selma. There were
many excuses for him. One day saw

The tide of immigration setting toward our

lists no reason to anticipate that during the life
of the present generation it will fail to reach
the average height of the past ten years; I'M
migration, therefore, continues to be one OF
the great economic questions of this country
and it involves political problem of the high
est Importance, that of naturalization. That
our naturalization laws are defective in many
respects is notorious, and the demand for
their revision will no doubt acquire added
force from the publication of an article by JUS

COMING TO STANTON THURSDAY. MAY 1sT, AND
TO GIVE Us THE OPERA OF MARTHA.
The music-loving people of Stanton have the
prospect before them of witnessing grand opera
performed by the largest and best organized
company that has ever been formed in the Uni
ted States. Emma Abbott is coming to the
Opera House on Thursday, May LIST, with her
great company especially organized for the
tour of California and the Great Eastern Cities
They have met everywhere with almost phe-
nomenal success. In San Francisco they filed
the large Bald win Theatre night after night for
four weeks.to its fullest capacity, standing room
and all, and the same receptions have been
given them in the other great musical centres.
The entire company has been secured by Mana
ger Powell for the Virginia circuit. and will
appear here in that beautiful and sparkling
opera, Martha" in which Abbott will sing her
great ''sing," 1.-The Last Rose OF Summers,
The principal parts will be taken by herself,
Zelda Sequin the most noted contraito now on
the stage; Sig. Fabrini the famous tenor; and
Sig. Campobello. the great London basso can
tante and the minor roles will be hiledsby such
artists as Marie Hindle, Victor Navelo, VIM.
Broderick and Walter Allen, the favorite buffo
The company brings its own large chorus and
orchestra and everything necessary to give
the opera in complete and grand style just as
it has done in ali the other cities. This oppor-
tunity to hear artists whose names are cele
brated throughout the musical world in an
opera sparkling with bright music and full of
delightful and familiar airs is rare one, and
should be taken advantage of by every person
who can possibly do SO. The seats will be
placed on sale Tuesday, April 18th.

CARRYIN CONCEALED WEAPONS The

like kind, he shall be fined not less than twen-
ty dollars nor more than one hundred dollars"
and also confiscates the weapon found upon
the offender. Those in the habit of violating
this law would better consider it carefully
Several parties in this city have already suffer-
ed for violation of this law. The law is good
one and we hope it will be strictly enforced. In
such peaceful community as ours there is no
necessity, occasion, or excuse for carrying dead
ly weapon.

duty last week to notice the death of q young
wife, and a similar duty is again imposed upon
,.s, in recording the death of Mrs. Annie Hen
dren Patrick, the young and lovely wife OF
VIM. Patrick, Esq, and the daughter of Judge
John N. Hendren. Since the birth of an infant,
about two months ago, she had been quite i'll,
and during that time her fate hung in. doubt
full balance between life and death, eliciting
the deep anxiety and sympathy ofhe friends
and those of her husband. and they embraced
the whole community. She was most estima-
ble accomplished, and popular lady, whose
death is mourned by all who knew her, and
None knew her but to love her;
None named her, but to praise"
The immediate cause of her death was blood
poisoning. Her infant survives her.
Her funeral took place from Trinity church
at II O'Clock on Thursday, the services being
performed by the Rector. Rev. w. Q. Hullihen.
The pall-bearers were: G. M. Harrison. r. P.
Bell, Harry Tucker, Marshall Hanger. A. G..

ANNUAL REPORT OF THE SECOND PRESBY.
TERRAIN CHURCH TO PREsBYTERY.-Last Sab
bnth was the quarterly communion at the Sec
ond Presbyterian church. There were addi-
tions to the church, on profession of their
faith, and one by certificate. The Pastor read
the usual Annual Report to Presbytery, which
shows the church to be in a very prosperous
condition. The most marked improvement
was in the Sabbath School. which had grown
during the year from 45 scholars to III. The
membership of the church is now 81, there
having been 81 additions during the year. The
Pastors Salary has been promptly paid, and
the church has increased In its contributions
to benevolent objects. The Sunday School

Sunday morning for the purpose of elec!ing
one additional Elder and two Deacons.

The following paragraphs are from the Good
SON Gazette, published at the Institution for the
education of the Deaf and Dumb and the Blind
1.-The pond below the Institution was drawn
off Thursday and was found to contain num-
Der of carp. One taken from 1t weighed four
and one half pounds. The fish were distribut.
ed and placed in each of the fountains around
the Institution.
The frog evidently has more sport than mere
ly playing "leap-frog'' from the banks of ponds
and streams. The other day when the pond
was being drained these croakers were observ-
ed to mount and ride the fish through the wa
ter. They chung on to their slippery horses with
wonderful tenacity, and the greater the effort
OF the fish to cast their riders. the deeper they
seemed to sink their toes beneath the collars of
their darling SteedS.
But what was fuu for the frogs was vexation
to the fish,"
