Wars and Rumors of Wars.

There is nothing in, the current news
of the day to indicate that the nhillen-

years ago. France is in wan with
China. England with the Arabs of the
Sosdan, and likely soon to be, in con-
fliet with Russia over the Afghan
dispute. There. is war in. Central
America which.is likely to iavolve all
the little republics, with Mexico assist
ing them to. maintain Independence
against the ambitious designs of Pres,
ident BarriOs, Of Guatemala. There is
rebellion in, Manitoba, with prospect
of the ]: seliest kind OF campaigning.
The only great nations profoundly at
peace are the United States and Ger
many, and the latter may, through the
complication of continental politics
and the incidents of colonial expan-

the Boulevard des Italians, the whole
of the ground is paved with large
squares Of roughened glass imbsdded
in strong iron frame, and in the cell

even on dull days, to enable clerks to
work without gas. The large central
hall at the Offices of the Ccmptoira

with this kind of flooring, and it Is

CHAPTER ".


Senator Ham wrote regularly to his
wife, but said nothing about her
presentation at court. She became in
dignant, and, acting upon the advice
of farmer who had formerly prayed
for her heart but who had received the
back of her hand, she set out for the
capital. When she arrived, Senator
Ham was out of town, having, as
member of a committee, gone to in
vestinate the condition of distant ed
ucalIonal institution. He returned the
next day. While on the train he was,
upon taking up newspaper, shocked
to find the following among the hotel
arrivals:
.sLady Puss, wife of Bucksnort Ham,
lord of Cottonbloom-"
His modification was deep. There
was no chance of escape. His brother
committeeman began to guy him. He
thought he would slip down to the ho-
tel, tell his wife that parliament had
suddenly adjourned, and take her
home. She was not at the hotel. The
clerk said that ''crank woman"
calling herself cotton bloom when in
deed she looked more like dog-fennel,
had Just gone up to the state house.
Ham hurried to the capitol building.
Some one said that a woman wearing
yellow feathers on her head and carry
ing shawl embroidered with red tape
had just gone up into the governors
room. Ham almost flew up The stair
way. A voice caused him to stop at
the executive chamber door.

'sThe court of the state, sir.'
ssThe supreme court is not IN session.
81 am sorry. I am Lady Cotton
bloom. Perhaps you are acquainted
with his lordship, Bucksnort Ham,
lord of Cottonbloom.
Before the governor could reply,
Ham rushed into the room, seize her
by the hand and said:
ssCome, quick and let me present
you to the prime minister. Stay here
a minute" he said when he had led
her into the hall. Then. stepping back
to the governor, he said: ''She is my
insane wife. Imagines that she belongs
to the nobility. Wish you would tell
her that as the supreme court is not
in session, ladies are not expected to
visit the capitol. All, my lady, come
| h:ther a moment.
'sWhat does his lcrdship desireP''
she replied, entering the room.
..The governor, chief of the armies
and navy of the realm, has just issued
mandate, declaring that as the su-
| preme court is not in session, ladies

the future lord of Cottonbloom.

The friends of Mr.. Ham wondered
at his admiration of Miss Puss Henni-

The next time Mr. Buck~nort Ham
called, Miss Puss received him with
stately politeness She smiled upon
him, and the music of her sweet gig
gle floated on the tranquil air. Never
before had Bucksnort SO much enjoyed
parliamentary power.
"Puss?"

''There is no doubt of my election
"Why should there be? You have
already distinguished yourself, and
your constituents, proud of their
honor, know that they could not do
better than by elevating you to po-
sition for which you are so eminently
qualified"
''Your sentiments charm mo, Puss.
You make me feel as though great
career were about to stretch itself
along my future pathway. Puss, I
love you"
"Oh. how can you? I am simple
country girl; you are soon to be ele-
waited to the peerage."
''Yes, precious, but to me the grand
est peerage is the priceless peerage
of your love. Have 1 been thus ele-
vatea?"
"Oh, Bucksnort. you almost kill me
with happiness"
He buckled his arms around her
waspish waist. Her dim, buttermilk
eyes lighted up with a glow of pride.
He tenderly kissed her.

her position imposed. Those who had
heard of the joke humored it; those
who had not, kept away from Lady
Cottonbloom.
The time for the meeting of the leg

Leave me - she exclaimed. why
can I not accompany you to courtP"
Ham thought that her courting days
were over, but replied: SIT is not po-
lite to go at once, my lady. After
parliament is organized, and after l
have received the distinction of the
Garter, you can come"
'.But why can not witness the inn

capable of handling the large ones. I

Of last night General Grant experienced con-

Soon after midnight he slept, but his sleep was
not continuous. He awakened at intervals and

the day. and was dressed He had slept about
the usual number of hours, though his sleep had
been interrupted as stated DR.. Douglas re-
remained all night, and left the General asleep
at 0. During the forenoon General Grant turned
bis attention to his book, and did some work
upon it.
The genial warmth of to-day tempted General
Grant TO take prolonged drive, aud he arrived
at the house in good spirits after it. He par
took OF luncheon and then resumed work on his
book until dinner, after which he spent the
evening with his family. In the words of Col
Grant, who is too busy to receive callers,
':Father is feeling quite we'll to-day The pain
IN his throat was d little increased to-day per-
haps owing to the change of air."
DIR. Douglas called as usual.
