BASHFUL.

Mr.. Champion was good. looking
young man, but was afflicted with the
most provoking of ailmeuts-ex extreme
bashfuluess. Among Mr.. Crampion's
frieAds was q damsrl OF some Is sum
mers, who had made decided impress
sion upon bis susceptible heart. One
thing was needed to mako him happy,
and that was to ascertain that his love
was returned; but, alas here came the
tug OF war, for, with his extreme BASH
iu ness, he would sooner have walked up
to the cannon's mouth than to have de-
clared to Miss Phebe May bis love. H.
resolved with true heroism TO overcome
his bashfuluess for once aud learn his
late; so one afternoon, summoniug up
all his iortitude, he sailed forth. He
got as far as the door; but here his for
titude suddenly felt the emergency too
great and retired precipitately. Five
m jrtal times aid that heroic young man
endeavor to cross the threshold of his
door, and as many times did his courage
fail aim. Bat to his everlasting re-
nown be it spokeu-the sixth time he
determined that he would go on; and,
with great eifUIt, succeeded in making
the start.
With trembling heart he assembled the
steps and rang the bell He was ad.
mitted by servant, falteringly inquired
for Miss My, and the next moment
found himself alone iu the parlor.
After the lapse of about five MINUTES
light step was heard on the stairs, aud
Mr.. Champion knew that his divinity
was coming.
She entered the parlor with her bright
est smile, looking more bewitching than
ever.
Good afternoon, Mr.. Champion, she
said, pleasantly, and she held out her
hand.
Good afternoon, my-you-that is
Miss May" stammered our hero, feeling
his trepidation return tenfold; and he
rose and took her hand, knocking oyer
GUAR in his confusion.

Champion, are We not2' she remarked,
pleasantly.
"Yss-no-that is, think-yes it isl"
ial!ered our poor hero, Then, with n
desperate feeling tina. he must come to
the point at once, il eyer, he continued;

""eil, MIR. Champion, whai?' asked
Phebe, With a roguish sparkle in her eye.
"Yes-yes-very fine weather-indeed
1t Isl" exclaimed Mr., Champion, with
something of the feeling of a man who
had narrow escape from drowning.
A short silence ensued, and again Mr..
CrAmpton mustered up courage and be-
gan:
"Miss Phebe, will you"
Il will be happy to oblige you in any
way" replied PLebe, sweelly, after in
vain waiting for him to eontinue.
Il was about to remark that-that-

Torcy, and had m American pos mark.
The writing OF the superscription
troubled her, and when the envelope
was opened the first lire mado her
tremble. Was this some mystery? Was
it device formed before his death by
unfortunate TorcY, who wished to have
his widow receive a letter that would
persuade her that he was still alive, and
thus keep her from weeping2
But the suicide? the corpseY the bur-
ial? Alas! the letter answered all.
Through the completely of grave.
digger of the village lie was assured Of
the early death of man of lis stature
aud complexiou-and event which had
been awaited for several months; and
when the grave-digger apprised him of
the long expected death, he proceeded to
file his schedule.
That night he disposed in his
own bed his corpse, which had been
carefully disipterred When he had ar
ranged it he fred two pistol shots in the
dead mans face, completely disfguring
it. Then. the suicide having been &C.
complished in the deserted house. he
made his escape, taking with him only
enough money to defray his travelling
expenses, and went to try his fortune in
America.
At last he had become wealthy, two or
three times as wealthy as he had former
lY been; he was about to return to pay
his creditors, capital and interest, to re.
ha0ilitato himself; and now, as he was
freed from anxiety, he would have time
to devote himself to- domestic happiness
with his dear little wife-who he bcliey-
ed had not remarked.
The first thought of the second bus
band was 10 go to the first and kill him,
since be bau dared to rise from his legal
tomb under the pretext that he was not
dead.
mo, no, not thatl' cried Nine. de
Bea Ulieu, with terror.
"Does be not come TO take my happi-
ness from me?"
"IIe has not the right to do so"
"Our marriage is void; his is not"
"Our marriage void-and our child
reu?"
"Ah, our children! our childrenr'
Finally the unhappy couple went 10
consult my friend tae lawyer,
1t was arranged that the latter should
demand q divorce in the name of Nine |
&c Bsaulieu from her first husband, and |
that NJ. Torcy should be made to under
stand that it would be dangerous for
him 10 return to France. His escapade |
is complicated with the violation of a
grave, The grave digger is dead, but
NJ. Torcy on his own confession, can be
made answerable for the crime. A di-
yorce will be obtained, and then II. and |
Nine. do Beaulieu, whose marriage in |
the meantime will be considered pro-
vlsionaily void, will remarry.
1t appears, according to tho latest
news received from NJ. Torcy, that be is
resigned to this arrangement. He is not
coming back to France. He will allow
the divorce to be obtained, and all the
more willingly. as be has been able to
maintain silence for seven years and not
write to his wife. In making his pre-.
parations to return to France it was me-
cessary for HIM to end an intimacy with
an amiable American widow. Now, how
ever, after an honorable acquaintance
with her of seven years, having been
freed from all domestic obligations in
France, he will be able to espouse the
fair American.

Mrs. Senator Logan, whose receptions
are attended by the cream of society in
Washington, was born at Petersburg,
Boone county, Missouri, Augustl5 Ia, 1888.
Her maiden name was Mary S. Cunning
ham.
At the time of her birth her father.
Captain j. S. Cunningham, was a resident
of Missouri, whittier he had removed from
Illinois. His daughter, the subject Of this
sketch, was scarcely more than an infant
when he removed back to Illinois. 1t is
not surprising, therefore, that Mrs. Logan
has scarcely any recollection whatever Of
her life in Missouri. She was married
Novem ber27, 1855, and was living in
southern Illinois when her husband, now
Senator Logan, entered the army. Their
first child, a daughter, was then but a little
over two years old. On account of the
~pro-Southern sympathies Of her neighbOrs
Mrs. Logan spent the greater part of her
time with her husband, sharing the vicis-
STUDIES of his life as a soldier. She did
this throughout the whole of his military
career, as far as was well practicable, an
experience that was of great value to 50
observant a person as she. The two child.
rem of Senator and Mrs. Logan are one
daughter and one son, the elder n gradu-
ate of Georgetown college, and the Young
er a student at the West Point Military
Academy. He is about eighteen years of
age and is said to be n good student, ami
able and promising in every respect.
At the close of the war General Logan
and his wife made their residence at Car
bondale, the Generals native place.
They resided there until September, 1871,
when they removed to Chicago, which is
is still their home. Mrs. Logan,
who was educated at St. Vim
cent academy, near Morganfeld, Ken,
lucky, is gifted with extraordinary con,
versational powers, the effect of which is
heightened by her powerful graces. She
is slightly above the medium height, has
an excellent figure, and moves with the
amiable dignity of a perfect lady, Hel
hair is almost white, but so abundant
that, were it O for its color, its owner
would be taken to be not more than thirty
years of age. A few years ago it was "a.
jet black as that of her husband. Hel
eyes are black and express great intelli
gence and refined sensibility. Mrs. Logar
entertains to perfection, and no lady il
Washington zurpasses her in the indeti
nable charm of the successful hostess.

THEIR WV ES.
A Few Words About Mrs. Blaine
and Mrs. Logan.


Mrs Blaine.
Mrs. Blaine is a finely educated woman.
She was a Yankee schoolmistress in Ken
lucky when Blaine met her. Blaine had
just graduated at Washington college,
and went to Kentucky to life
as a school teacher. His school was very
near that of his wife's. and the two
struck up quite a friendship. Mrs.
Blaine at this time, however, was some
what romantic, and she refused to tell
her future husband anything about her
parentage or her circumstances. Blaine's
love finally conquered all scruples and he
proposed. Shortly after this school
broke up and the Yankee teacher
went back to her home in Maine.
Blaine followed her, found that her
parents were in good circumstances,
and married her. Shortly after this
he went to live in Maine
to oblige his wife, and so it comes to be
Blaine of Maine" instead of Blaine of
Pennsylvania. Blaine first settled in
Kennebec, where he edited a paper.
While in the Legislature he changed his
residence to Augusta, where he still has a
country home. Mrs. Blaine is thoroughly
a domestic woman. She is tall, rather
stout and dignifed. She is not the poll
tician that Mrs. Logan is, and hrr nan
ners are earnest and practical. Her CON
slant associate is Abigail Dodge, better
known as Gail Hamilton. Miss Dodge
likes society as well, perhaps. as any
IN in Washington. She delights
especially in small dinner parties where
she can have a chance to talk, and talk
she does very well, indeed. If Blaine is
elected President, Gail Hamilton will be
quite a factor at the White House. and
she will assist Mrs. Blaine in doing the
honors of the Executive Mansion.
