He urged Mike to 60 down and see beau
tiful Monarch, pat him with her tiny white
hand and see how gently he would take
sugar from her dainty fingers.
All the time the new groom respect
fully held the bride, with his face turned
away.
"You can take a ride this afternoon at 5;
the sun will be going down and will not
. spoil your complexion. Dick, you hear
you can be ready"
The groom raised his hat with strange
grace and looked once at Nixie-that vas
all. He saw such a sad young face, such a
forlorn little figure, that it was not worth
his while to look again, perhaps.
Mike said she would try the horse at S
o'clock, and got away to her chamber. From
her window she soon SAY the Colonel's
buggy roll away cityward.
After the clock struck 4 she dressed IN
guidly for her ride. She entered the draw
ing ROOM, the windows of which opened
upon the terrace. From an alcOve a bold
hand struck the piano:
'.She had Killed her coats of green satin,
She had killed them up to the knee,
An is off an AVA WI Lord Roland,
His bride and his darling to be-"
Whose presence was it that filed the
room and all the world for her then?
Percy Ingraham had never called her
mike" like the others.
"Eunice," he said.
'You have come back-oh, you have
come back" she cried.
Now the fading lily was radiant as the
rose.
"Hush, we nave but little time, /" he said,
II have been in America a month looking
for you. At last l got the clew, but could
get no chance to see you. The servants are
forbidden to admit visitors to you. Poor
bird, how it has pinned in it's cage! Well,

The Cad whip Service.

East An0tidn, in Griffin Neios.
In the good old times that people are so
fond ofreferring to, there were many curl
GUS, MOTTO say ridiculous, customs in the
old countries bf Europe, which though fast
dying out are not altogether extinct.
Among these are the tenures by which
estates were held in England and which
doubtless owe their origin to some old
feudal custom which can be traced
through successive centuries till their
original is lost or only dimly seen.
The following is sketch of one of these
strange services by which an estate was
held in the family Of the writer from time
tmmemorial to the year 1915, when, the
last male heir dying. the proper ty was
sold, and a special enactment did away
with the old time-hOnored service, more
honored, 1 think, in breach than the OBJ
servance.
The manor of B-ton, in the county of
Lincolnshire, was held by the following
remarkable tenure called the "Gad Whip
Service" On every Palm Sunday this
whip was taken by a person especially
appointed from B-tOn to the parish
church of C-ter, who while the minister
was reading the first lesson cracked it
three times on the church porch; he then
folded it up and retired TO q seat. At the
commencement of the second lesson he
approached the minister, and kneeling
before him, and with the whip held per-
pendicularly over his head, waved it
three times, and then remained in a stead
fast position throughout the whole chap
ter.
The whip was about six feet I'm length,
formed of a stout ash stick. bound with
leather, and towards the handle were
bound four sticks of the weechelm tree
witch ELM of unequal lengths. At the
other extremity purse was attached.
The thong was considerably longer than
the stock. 1t was therefore an unwieldy
instrument to use as directed IN 80 con-
fined space.
The different parts of the whip are thus
explained. The purse was supposed TO
contain thirty pieces of silver, to repre-
sent according to scripture the price Of
blood. The four witch elm sticks denoted
the four gospels of the Holy Evangelists
The three cracks were typical of st. Pc
ter's denial of his Lord, and the trailing
it thrice over the minister's head all in
tended homage to the Holy Trinity.
have never been able to ascertain the
date of this extraordinary Observance, by
whom or for what reason it was insti,

omitted, and had 1t been the estate would
have been claimed by the next heir, whose
right would have been indisDutable,

APowerfuI English IroncIad.

From the Nea0 York Commercial Bulletin.
The British navy on June Is received
an important addition in the shape Of the
twin screw, armor-belted ram Benbow,
which was launched that day from the
slip Of the Thames Iron Works and Ship
building Company. The ceremony OF
christening was performed by Mrs. Glad
stone. The Benbow is by far the most
powerful ironclad afioat; over 10000 tons
ofmetal have been used in her construc-
ton. She is built entirely of steel. Even
her armOr plates, which are eighteen
inches thick, have facing of six
inches OF chilled steel, and many
OF them are Of the weight of ten
tons. The BenbOw is $50 feet
long, 6S feet 6 inches beam, 81 feet deep,
and has q displacement OF 10000 tons.
Her engines are $500 horse power, and
will, 1t Is estimated, give her a speed of
IN knots per hour, making her not only
the most powerful bat the fastest armOr-
clad aeoat. Her armament is TO consist
Of two 110-ton steel guns, which will fire
a proiectile weighing 1000 pounds, 1871
inches in diameter, and propelled by the
enormous charge OF 900 pounds Of powder.
She Will also have ten 6-inch rifled breech-
loading guns, twelve G-pOunder quick
firing guns, ten 4-barrel 1-incb machine
guns, and four 5-barrel 45-inch machine
guns. She is also fitted for tOrpedoes,
having five apertures for their discharge

INNS IN THE SOUTH.
Travellers Comforts In the Eighth.
teenth Century.

From McNasters History.
The roads that led north and south in
1870 were good and well cared for; but
the inns throughout the whole South were
excrable. Travellers of all sorts have
agreed that the condition Of the buildings,
the coarseness Of the fare, the badness of
the.beds. and the exorbltance Of the reck-
oning, could not be equaled elsewhere.
Not one of them displayed sign, and,
save for the number of handbills posted
up beside the door, the inn was like every
other house along the way. The windows
had often no sashes, the roofs let in the
rain. Mattresses were unknown, and on
the hottest night In summer the weary
lodger was compelled to lie down upon a
feather bed. Breakfast cost 6 shillings;
dinner cost 81. A nights lodging
was half as much; but, il clean sheets
were demanded, the price was siXpence
more. Supper was rarely eaten. Inn
keepers attributed these evils TO the GUS
toms OF the land, and declared that, while
wayfarers found entertainment at the
houses Of the great, the condition of the
taverns could never be improved. There
were, of course, exceptions. Here and
there in the large towns were to be seen
Ordinaries with which the most fastidIOus
could find little fault. No better speci-
men of "A good Southern inn existed than
the Eagle Tavern at Richmond. The
building was large, was Of brick, and
provided with long yeranda in 'front.'
For shilling and sixpence, Virginia cur
rency, the traveller was shown to neat
bed in well-furnished room up one flight
of stairs. On the wall was fastened a
printed table of rates. From this be
learned that breakfast cost two shillings,
and dinner, with grog or toddy, was three !;
that quart Of t0ddy was one and six,
that bottle Of porter was two and six,
and that the best Madeira wine sold for
six shillings "A quart. When he rose in
the morning he washed his face, not inh is
room, but on Ghe piazza, and ate his break
fast, in the coolest Of dining-rOOmg, at
table adorned with pewter spoons and
china plates. OF at one side was n tub
full Of water wherein melons and cucum-
bers, pitchers Of milk and bottles OF wine,
were placed 10 cool Near by was
water-case which held two decanters. If
he called for water, a wench brought it
fresh from the spring, and he drank from
a glass which had long been cooling in
barrel which stood in one corner Of the
room. For his lodging and his board, II he
ate cold supper and was content with
one quart Of toddy, he paid 10 the land
land Of the Eagle 10 shillings, Virginia
currency, or 81 60, Federal money, each
day.

Judge Murden's court was occupied all
day Saturday in the trial of the case of
McElVoy and Mitchell VS.. I. p. Bishop.
McElvoy and Mitchell were employed by
BISHOPS agent to work on the fixtures in
the new bank building. They finished the
work and allowed a fellow workman,
Gordon, TO collect the money-$lS2. Cor
don receipted for the money and left town.
McElvoy then filed mechanics lien on
the fixtures, and this suit was to deter
mlne the validity of the attachment.
The defense showed that Gordon had
haoitually drawn money for the parties,
and consequently, by their silent consent,
appointed him as their agent. The jury,
however, took another view of the case,
and decided In favor of the workmen. An
appeal was noted, and the case promises
some further developments.
The accident on the Florida Railway
and Navigation Company's Road, near
Belleview Saturday night, resulted In the
death of the oolored fireman and in

The train was bound from Tavares to

engine and four box cars were ditched
blocking the track for twenty-four hours.
The cause was cow and CALI on the

about fifty others joined in the chorus,

ats been hard weather for railroad.
ing" remarked an Illinois Central con-
ductor recently, 'but we have some fun,
all the same. Was you ever on a train
that had a snow-plow in front, goin'
through drifts Well, if you wasn't,
You have no idea the way that snow
flies when the weather is cold. The
engineer can no more see than he could
in grave. That flying snow goes
everywhere. In the cab the engineer
and fireman are completely blinded and
covered. That stuff will go everywhere.
I've found snow inside bull's-eye Ian
tern, which is mighty near air-tight
That driving stuff, coming off the plow
and flying in the wind, will go through
glass, wood or anything. One day last
week we had dude on my train. The
howrid Weathah' gave no end of un-
easiness. He found fault with the rail
road company and with the employees.
Nothing suited him, and he made a
nuisance of himself with his groWls.
"Pretty soon he walked to the front
end of the car and stood looking out the
door. Just then we came into a drift in
a cut. Through the cracks of that door
came two driving sheets of snow that
struck Mr.. Dude one on either cheek.
When he turned round he was an OBJ
iect. He looked like a snow man. You
couldn't see the dude at all-nothin' but
snow. His mouth and ears were full.
It was in his hair, down the back of his
neck; his pockets were full and his
shoes. We were seven hours behind
time then, and kept gettn' more behind
at about the rate of fifty minutes to an
hour, but we heard no more complaints
from that chap. 1t was a terrible day,
but, as I went up and down the car
humming The Snow, the Beautiful
Snow where he could hear me, I
thought to myself that it was the hap
piest day I had since the day collected
full fare from one of the directors who
had forgotten his pass. "-Cbicago
