manly mouth that instantly disarmed her
lover of all anger "There, there, that
will do, Jack; and now that you are a
good boy again, I'll give you the ex-
PLANTATION you ask for Your uncle was
here last night and made propose! on
behalf of you Jack, as then thought lie
intimated that you were too bashful to
plead your own cause. Poor man! he
didn't know of our secret engagement; !;
and when he urged me to change my name
to Singleton"
Il think can guess the rest. You learn
from that letter that he spoke for himself.
and that he regards you at this moment
as his betrothed.n
That's it, Jack; and, OH what am
to do?"
NOhly one thing that know Of, dear,
and that is to" and the remainder Of
the sentence was whispered among Letty's
bangs.
The rheumatism had given Silas
Singleton respite, and he felt in excel
lent spirits as he sat in the dining-room
thinking of Lefty, when his nephew en-
tered.
''Uncle, I'll thank you for that check
of $40, ,0oO."
"What-what the deuce do you mean,
sir?"
"only this, sir; was married this
afternoon"
"Jack, are you fooling me?"
Indeed; am not My wife is out
side in the hall. VIII you receive her,
sir?n and Jack left the room before he
got an answer, to return in a moment
with slight and shrinking figure cling
ing to his arm. As she cast one implor-
ing look into the old mans face he ex-
claimed excitedly:
'Letty Larendonl'
'Mrs. Jack Singleton, if you please,
sir, explained his nephew.
''Ohl sir, hope you will forgive
Jack" Lefty pleaded as she caught the
hand of Uncle Silas between her own
soft palms. Indeed, indeed, it wasn't
his fault taught him to love me long
ago, but he was too bashful to confess it
until he learned you had spoken to me in
his behalf night before last"
"Spoken in his behalf, !" the old man
echoed with look of astonishment.
ooh yes, to be sure. So you see, Jack,
l won wife for you .
"And you will forgive us, uacze, with
tender emphasis on the word italicized,
''for our hasty marriage without your
knowledge" said Lefty.
ssYou see sir.n Jack explained, 1T
was bound to get that $40, ON

The number of pounds Of type used in
the newspapers Of the United States is
put at $3.50, S7S. The newspapers in the
five States of New York, Pennsylvania,
Ohio, Illinois and Iowa set half the num-
Of ems set in the United States. A pound
of type sets So ems. An average of !, 200
ems is left in the cases. The average per
newspaper is IA, 147 ems for dailies; av-
erage for weeklies, 57,197. The total
amount Of type set for one issue Of the
daily newspapers Of the country would
make 2, 1856 duodecimo volumes, and all
the papers in year would represent as
much type work as would make O,OOO
volumes, equal to "Appleton's Cyclope-
dia. A slip Of the work would extend
from the Atlantic to the Pacific. Eight
thousand persons are employed

DISTANCE.

How lonely is this world, and yet how bright
1t shines like heaven with beauty's stars
Each soul apartl 'Tis distance mars
The strength, the grand effulgence of our
light
Distancel thing abhorredl 1t is blight
That chills each heart that loves; it bars
From us sweet sympathy and scars
Our minds with solitary, inward fight.
Yet sometimes in our gloomy, lonely night
Wed stars above the clouds do rise
In joyous married harmony,
Singing the music of the skies
With everlasting constancy,
And charm our heavenward eyes with their
sweet sight.
y Edgar Smith, in the Current.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
enquirer writes to that paper as fol.
lows:
In various newspapers at different
tim IS within a year have seen sen.
atioiNal statements regarding the min.
eral and railroad investments and
property in West Virginia, in which
Tx Senator II G. Davis Mr. Blaine,
Secretary Bayard, Senator German,
Senator Cameron, S b. Elkins and
others are investors. In one Of the
more recent articles it was stated that
Mr.. Davis had made a fortune of not
less than s5OOOO,000 within eight or
ten years through these investments.
/ was chatting with Senator Camden
when u occurred to me TO ask him
about senator Davis banana. lie
replied FIFTY million Is a pretty
big sum. In this case it is pretty
big exagger Ntion, The property we
own down thcre has unquestionably
great possibilities in il, but the total
figures are nothi og like that. Why,
s5O,OOO,OO0 would take in almost the
entire Sfc certainly all that is
wort Of her mineral lands.
Senator Davis would, ] think, he sat.
fed with a present apprsisement Of
his wealth ats2,5O0, OO0 or s3,OOO,O00
The project in which we are engaged
has not yet begun to pay, but it will
do 50 soon.
