eagerly noted all the circumstances of Fe-
licie's wonderful return to life. IF only
this rich uncle could be made definite
fact, might it not be well to meet rumor
half way, to bid the takers to wedding
and declare in effect These suspicious
appearances, about which the whole depart
ment is whispering, were not the ending of
an unsuccessful marriage contract, but the
beginning of a fortunate one. Congratu-
lations, not condolences, if you please.
There was boldness about this course
which suited the bent of Madame Du-
vergne's nature. SO she answered Jules,
after pause:
"If you and your friend had been more
straightforward, Monsieur Lecroix, it might
have spared us all much unpleasantness.
The Duvergnes need not press an unwilling
alliance, Dieux merci and although, with
my daughters dowry, she could pretend to
much greater parti, still, where her hap
piness is in question. OF course have
no personal objection to Monsieur de Varot,
and if he can show himself a suitable match
- Finally, we will see."
And smiling coldly, Madame Duvergne
rose to signify that the interview was at an
end.
As the two young men stood up also,
De Varot cast an appealing look toward
Felicie. Madame, might venture just
one word.
Jules rightly interpreted the doubtful
look on Madame Duvergne's face. 'tMad-
anne, l answer to you for the uncle, - he
said solemnly.
every well, monsieur, trust you" an
swered Madame with equal gravity; and
she even had the generosity to walk to the
window with Jules, leaving the momentary
tete-a-tete practically without spectators.
De Varot drew near and gazed down at
the dropping eyelids, the pallid cheeks.
"Mademoiselle Felicie," he said softly,
''have you forgiven me ?"
eyes, monsieur"
"And are you satisfied now that l am
Felix ?"
ayes, monsieur"
With an irresistible impulse the young
man bent down and touched Felicie's hands
lightly with his lips. Like flash up neW
the startled eyes, and when, the next mo-
ment, Madame Duvergne turned round, it
was to see such Felicie as she had scarce
ly beheld in all her life before, with light
and glow in her face that transformed its
sickly delicacy into rosy palpitating beauty.
The mother half frowned, and De Varot
made his adieus without further speech.
But at the door he turned and sent back
long, passionate look which said more
than many words. Then the door closed
between them, leaving Felicie to lie with
closed eyes in happy dream Of a possible
garden of Eden she had never thought to
enter now, while Madame Duvergne sat
beside her, bolt upright, speculating upon
the unknown uncle and planning wedding
reception which should be a nine days
wonder among the gossip lovers of the
whole department.

A Stone Age Hut.

A short time ago there was discovered
in marsh at Schussenried, in Wurtem-
burg, well-preserved hut of the age of
stone. The flooring and part of the
walls were intact, and, as appeared from a
careful admeasurement, had formed, when
complete, rectangle, ten metres long and
seven metres wide The hut was divided
into two compartments, communicating
with each other by foot-bridge made of
three girders The single door, looking
towards the south was metre wide, and
opened into room $50 metres long and
metres wide. In one corner lay heap
of stones which had apparently formed the
fireplace This room was the kitchen,
''the living room" and probably night
refuge for the cattle in cold weather. The
second room, which had no opening out
side, measured $50 metres long and 5
metres wide, and was no doubt used as the
family bed-chamber The floors of both
rooms were formed of round logs and the
walls of split logs. This, be it remember
ed, was hut Of the stone age. 1t may be
safely presumed that the lake dwellings of
the bronze age were larger in size and less
primitive in their arrangements. At both
periods the platform supporting the
houses communicated with the shore by
means of bridge probably removable at
pleasure) and with the water by ladders.
These ladders, as appears from an example
found at Chavennes, were made of single
stang with holes for the slaves, which pro-
truded ON either side.

Only leaves, only leaves,
My heart heaves over a wasted life of dead leaves
Only leaves, only leaves,
Is the echo far and near;
Only leayes, only leaves,
O. how sad and drear
Only leaves from yon oak tree,
Only leaves that once were red,
Only leaves that now are dead,
Only leaves from the young tree so fair,
Only lock of some ones golden hair;
Only leaves, only leaves,
My heart heaves over wasted life of dead leavesl
Only maiden once so gay,
Only maiden now grown gray;
Only rose so pure and white,
Who's petals quiyer with every ray Of light
Only leaves, only leaves,
My soul grieyes over a heap of dead leaves.
Only song of a dear little bird,
Only song one morning heard
Only the memory joy gone by.
Only a thought brings tear to my eye;
Only paradise must seek,
Only prayer so low and so weak
Only line so beautiful and sincere,
Only line so sweet and dear
Only leaves, only leaves,
My heart heaves over wasted life of dead leavesl

GopHER-TAIL CURRENcY.-Some of
our counties pay 5 cts. tail for gophers,
and in La Moure they pass as currency.
A man goes into saloon, and for his drink
throws down on the counter gopher tails.
When the drawer is full they are taken to
the county office and redeemed or paid out.
1t looks little novel in church to see
gopher narratives going into the contribu-
ton box.-Bismarck Dok., Tribune.

1t is now said that the Rev. DIR. Bur
chard, now so widely known on account Of
his famous "Rum, Romanism and REBEL
ion" utterance, is descendant of the DIR.
Burchard who many years ago was so
effectually snubbed by Aaron Burr. As
the story goes, DIR. Burchard was annoyed
because Col. Burr came late to service in
squeaking boots One Sunday the Doctor
publicly reproved the offender, saying
E'You have been guilty of criminal offense
against the Almighty, sir, and on the last
great day shall appear at the bar of God
as your accuser" This was very impress
i've, but Burr was equal to the occasion.
Pausing at the door of his pew, he smil-
ingly said: ''In the course of large and
varied criminal practice, doctor, | have OBJ
served that the greatest criminals are al
way the first to turn States evidence"

MAY BE USEFUL YET.
Meaning of Afghan Names for the
Student of Asiatfc Locations.

While Central Asian affairs occupy a
good deal of public attention, there will
be many queer names used in the tele-
grams and letters from Turkestan and
Atghanlstan. Certain prefixes and afiixes
IN the names of towns and rivers have
definite meanings more or less descriptive
of the places to which they are applied,
"Ab," for instance, means water, as in
Punjab, Chat is, "the five waters" re-
ferring to the five great rivers that
traverse the northwestern province of
Hindostan), or as in Hurriab (the water
of the "Huris"), or as in Surkhab (the
red water), and SO on.
''Koh" is mountain, as in Safeydkoh,
(the white mountain'') }, Koh-i-Baha (the
mountains of Bahba or Baber), or as in
Hlndoo Koosh (the Hindostanee noun
taln). "Abad" as a terminal always de-
notes q city, as Allahabad (the city of
Allah), Ahmedabad (the city of Ahmed,
Aurungabad (the city of Aurungzbee).
and so forth "Safeyd" is white, "siah"
black, "surkh" red, "nil' blue, etc.
Then there are the numerals, such as
PAM" or "punj' (fve), "char" or
"chahar" four, ETC., all of which are
descriptive of certain characteristics of
the places to the names of which they
are attached. "Panjdeh" is an example,
for as ''deh'' means village aud "pani''
five, as already explained, the names of
the place signifies collection of five
Turcoman villages. Wherever "Kotul'
occurs it signifies simply mountain spur.
For instance, the first victory of General
Roberts won in Afghanistan was at the
Paiwar Kotul, the pass of the Paiwar,
5000 feet high.

torial over, the question comes to the
mind,
"What are the wild waves saying, sister,"
but no answer comes back.

ST. NICHOLAS is mythical character,
but the st. Nicholas magazine is not, and
to children it is not merely a reality, but
blessing, and for its monthly coming
they look forward as anxiously as for the
coming of birthday or Christmas. If
the st. Nicholas were to cease, there IS
nothing which could Immediately take its
place This cannot be said OF most things
or men, and shows that st. Nicholas is a
superior magazine The aim of this mag
azine is not merely to entertain our
children, but to educate them. There
are enough of pleasing stories to relieve
those pieces which are of more solid worth );
and yet when history or science or travel
is put in an attractive form it pleases the
child more than anything else, for child
ren are ever asking, Is it true? ST.
Nicholas is partial realization of Her
bert Spencer's theory of educating child
ren, and Spencer's theory is the gener
ally accepted one nowadays.
The May number is an interesting one,
though no more so than its predecessors.
To point out which of its many articles
and stories is most to be commended is
difficult task, but the two which will in
terest those who are not children are
" The Children of the Cold," by Lieut.
Fred. Schwatka, and the one on Handel
by Agatha Tunis. This is almost an in
justice to the other writer's, as all are ex-
cellent. Wherever there is a family with
children who are beginning to read, there
st. Nicholas should be.

THE ONLY ONE.

1t has generally been thought thai
when all the world agreed on a subject
that the world was sane, and that whe1
one man declared all the rest to be in.
sane, the one man was the one who was
truly insane. Now the Herald of this
city this morning says that because the
newspapers generally throughout the
country comment unfavorably on the
declaration OF Grievances and Protest''
that all this "merely illustrates the
thoughtlessness and inconsiderate char
acter OF too much of the edi-
torlal matter that goes to the country"
1t was very wrong for the press of the
country to condemn that remarkable
paper, known as the Declaration and
Protest, as it took thirteen men thirty
days to draw it up, and so weighty was it
that it required three men to carry if 70
Washington. Then the fact that this
same document closely followed the Ian
guage OF the Epistle of the Presidency IS
Oh why TIE eQlUOrS OF the
country should not write of it so inconsid-
erately. But the most inconsiderate
thing OF all is the Declaration and Protest
itself, as it is in no part considers +bo
question to be solved in Utah. If nro.
tests everything, and proffers NOTHING.
Iid 1t ever dawn upon the editor of tho
Herald that possibly the widest editor of
all is the one whose sanctum is in tho
wllds OF West Temple street? Perbans
he declines to answer, or has forgotten
or never did know. So far as we have |
been able to see, the editors of the whole
country have looked upon the Declara-
ton and Protest as it deserved to be. No
one denies that the Mormon people have
right to petition, but the right to peti-
uon Is not the same as petition of rights.
The petition of the people entirely over
looked the fact that the United
States has some rights in the
United States, and made no mention
of them, or whether they should be re-
spected. 1t was inconsiderately one
sided, entirely too much so to 90 before

BattIed for by Two Young Trojans in the
Ring.
Troy, n. Y, March l3-One Of the
most savage, bloody and earnest prize fights
ever known in Troy took place this evening
in an icehouse in the upper part of the city.
1t was between Clarence Lanning and
Harry Schenke, two young men about
town, and was over young girl named
Douglass. Lanning had the promise Of
Miss Douglass company to the rink last
evening, but Schepke got to her house q
few minutes ahead and persuaded her to go
to the rink with him. Lanning on finding
that Miss Douglass had left him in the
lurch hastened to the rink, and coming
on Schenke Just as he was fastening the
young ladys skates, hit him a stunning
blow under the ear, knocking him down.
Schenke jumped up quickly, and drawing
his revolver, made a dash at Lannlng, but
was seized by bystanders.
Mutual friends arranged for an encounter
in the ring, the principals agreeing that the
yanuuished man should reinquish all
claims to Miss Douglass favor. According
" they met early this evening and went at
each other in scientific way in presence
Of fifty prominent sporting men. The fight
lasted forty,five minutes and was decided IN
favor of Lanning after three rounds.
Scheuke is laid up. 1t is said that Miss
Douglass will marry the victor.

WASHINGTON, March l3.-In answer to
telegram from the Secretary of War rela-
tive to the exact condition Of affairs in Ok
lakoma, General Hatch today telegraphed
from Coldwell, Kan, that no trespassers
were now in the Indian Territory. About
twelve hundred settlers he said, were
camEed in Kansas near the territory border.
They were threatening to 60 over the line,
but as yet had taken no steps Of that kind.
The troops are stationed in the Territory.
The General said he will drive out any in
vaders who may attempt to settle on the
lands. At the meeting OF the Cabinet yes.
terday the Oklahoma question was
considered at length. 1t was
said the impression prevailed
among those who contemplated an invasion
of the Territory, that President Arthur pro-
clamation relative to tresspassing upon the
Indian lands had become imperative with
the close of his administration. Toprevent
such action ofthe invaders as would natural
ly ensue upon the prevalence Of such i'm
preston, it was thought best that President
Cleveland should issue proclamation sim.
liar to that issued while Mr.. Arthur was
Chief Executive.
This proclamation is now prepared and
will shorty be issued. 1t will forbid the in-
vasion OF tresspassers upon the Indian lands
in ;he Indian Territory.
