The young man turned on him, again stirred to violent anger.
 And because others have been tor tured, ] am not to complain Next year l suppose, more hearts will be broken. and more spirits crushed, because your officials are overworked and careless Oh, the cruelty ofiti To have worked aud toiled month by month, through dif- faculties which few could have sur. mounted to have been kept in suspense for four weary weeks, and at last, when the cup of happiness is actually at my lips, to be cheated out of life and hone through mistake!"
 Come, come. calm yourself and po nome nov. Tomorrow you can lay your complaint before the secretary. Go home, my dear fellow you will be ill in- deed, if you excite yourself in this way.
 So saying, Felton drew the young man gently away from the group si specta- tors, who looked on with plying interest.
 Go home r repested John in dazed tone "Yes, will go home to Nell she will know, she will he able sc tell me cf some way, only let me get home to her."
 Shaii l go with your Or shall I get cab! Yeu do not seem fit to walk"
 No, no. Leave me alone, man, can't you" Then even in his bewilderment his natural politeness reasserted itself. and he said feebly: |" Forgive me, am not quite myself; thank you for your kindness, but for pity's sake, leave me"
 III you wish it, certainly, returned the other, turning away, sadder at heart than he had been for many a year.
 Up Bond street into Oxford street, up Oxford street into Bloomsbury, John Hammond went, in the gay noontide, staggering and reeling like a drunken man. In his head was a confused mur- mur, and strange lurid flashes came and went In his dazzled eyes; still he pushed on blindly, crossing the streets safely. al- most by miracle, and muttering over and over again the thought that filled his poor weary brain.
 Nell will be able to show me the way to escape from this trouble; let me only get to her. God grant me power to get to her."
 AS he neared his home, his heart grew strangely light, and his step almost re- gained its elasticity. "I shall soon find the way now; shall be with her in a minute My darling, she is waiting for me shall learn the way now" And in truth in another minute he did learn the way. for as he crossed the thres- hold of his home, he escaped the diff culties that surrounded him, and fell down dead.-Ma,y #. 7Snnyson, in Temple Bar.

Blood Under the Microscope,
lSaR Francisco Call.

A0 AoASAS@O S01Ls
 " The only instance on record when the blood of two persons was compared in criminal trial" said Dr. Piper yester- day, was in the murder case in Chicago. The comparison settled the innocence of the woman on trial for her life. A comelv woman, with $7o 900, married a man in Chicago, and placed her snug little for tune in his business. In the course of tune he began to abuse her, and finally she decided to apply for divorce. The double calamity of lesing a woman to beat and withdrawal of her S7o 900 from his business made the brute furious, and the next morning he was found dead in one corner of the bed chamber, a bullet having gone through his heart. His wife was found wounded in another part of the room. She said that her husband had come home the night before in a rage and began to abuse her while she was In bed that he hit her on the head with the butt of his revolver while her head was on the pillow, and spattered blood over the linen that she jumped mn and he shot her, inficting a slight flesh wound In her side. She then rushed at him, and snatching the revolver from him, shst him through the heart. He reeled to the corner where he was found and died. The prosecution did not be- lieve her story, and set up the theory that sue shot him while he was asleep, and dragged him to the corner, and then in- hicted the wound on herself. The carpet where the dead man lay was saturated with blood. According to the theory of the prosecution, the blood on the pillow was his also. put the section of the pillow with blood upon it under the mi- croscope, and drew on a cardboard the shape of the corpuscles, enlarged about 1000 diameters. then put the blood on the carpet under the microscope in the same way. The comparison was wonder. ia!. The corpuscles on the pillow were bright, round and clean. They were beautiful. The corpuscles on the carpet were large and dis6gured, the result of disease. The comparison settled that question at once. The blood corpuscles were as different as day and night. and sustained the woman's account of the shooting. She was acquitted on that and other evidence.
 As between human blood and dogs blood, the microscope enables the expert to determine precisely whether a speci- men is from human being or a dog. But 1t is impossible to determine between human blood and hogs blood. This fact convicted one man that know of. He claimed that the blood on his clothes was dogs blood. was able to show it was not dogs blood but if he had said it vas hogs blood could not have contra dicted the statement"

For THE ARKANsAw TRAVELLER.
 BRIDGED.
BY MRS. S. K. ALLEN.

Amid the city's whirl and din,
 Thro' grey of falling rain; I see cool, shady pastures green And briar- -bordered lane, The ways my childish feet have sought, seek them once again. Here is the old familiar path
 Bordered by hollyhocks, Between whose stems rise stalwart ranks Ofparti colored phlox, Sharing the sweets of sun and air
 With warning four-o clocks. Here too, the sentry sunhower lifts Its shining, golden shield While soothing incense-like perfume The waiting violets yield; The west-wind waits the fragrant breath Of new-mown clover field. And here beside giant-oak,
 GA century's growth and pride) Rises the home, beneath whose roof All sacred thoughts abide, The home where generations three Have lived and loved and died. Twas here they welcomed my young wife i; From that low shadowed door, My brother unto battle went,
 But came back-nevermore. From thence to her eternal rest,
 My mothers form they bore. know the ivy's plying sprays
 Have draped the crumbling wall; On creeping o'er the sunken sill,
 To the deserted hall; Where from the rude old balustrade In rare festoons they fall. But yet-to- day, in fancy strange
 A vision sweet tho' wild, see my fathers earnest face,
 My mothers meek and mild; With rainbow bridge, span the years, And cross that bridge-a child.

By this time small knot of people had collected round them"
 Are you an exhibitor, sir2 Have you received vanishing ticketT'
 "You know have gave it to you this morning" he answered violently.
 "I see so many faces cannot remem. per but are you sure your picture is not hung?"
 "Am l sure2 Great Godl Am I surer It is not hung but it shall be be- fore l stir from here; my wife and child shall not be cheated out of their lives !"
 "Dont excite yourself like this. sir. pray. cannot do anything for you, nor can any one else, for that matter; there has evidently been mistake your re- Jecuon has been sent to some one else, and their vanishing ticket has been sent to you. You are not the first that has had 1t happen to them; last year there were several complaints of similar na- ture.''
 ~Then do you mean tha. my picture has been rejected all along p
 Probably, sir: cannot say. It has evidently been mistake altogether"
 "Oh, Nell, Nelli" he groaned: and then, oblivious of all surroundings. :. he covered his face, and rocked and moaned in his anguish. How shall tell my darling 2"
 Come, my dear sir" said Felton. talk ing him kindly by the arm, " don't give way ike this. It is very gTievous, I ad- init, but many others have been in the same position, and while 70 many pic tures are sent in, you cannot be surprised at mistakes occurring"

 had passed it over in one of the others. "l must go through them again. God, give me strength |" ca moving from the door-post, he found that he could scarcely stand. "l will go into the sculpture gallery and rest little before l begin again the air is frcsher there; can hardly breathe here"
 Staggering away, his eyes curiously dim and heavy, he almost groped his way into the cool, quiet sculpture gallery, and sank down on one of the velvet touches. Re moving his hat, and wiping the chilly moisture from his forehead, he leaned back and closed his eyes, his beautiful waving hair clinging in damp heavy locks round his pale waxen brow.
 Two young girls Students of the Royal Academy schools) passed through, laugh ing merrily. In moment the rich color forsook their cheeks, and the laugh died away.
 "He must be ill.," said one, in an awe struck tone; "let us see if we can hep him."
 They went softly to where he lay back, apparently unconscious of all that was passing around.
 Do you ieca HIT Ian we uo anything for youfs
 The sweet young voice reused him, and he opened his eyes wearily, and gszed blankly at them.
 "Oh. what is the matter2 Let us help you. If we can."
 He stared at them for . moment then, with an effort, passed his shaking hand cve- h;s face, and sat upright.
 - must have been . little faint, I think" he answered in . weak tone.
