rr,nci, Jo.eph,s speech.

ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 9.-The Jour-
nal de st. Petersburg. commenting on the
speech of Emperor Francis Joseph, says:
The emperor of Austria's pacific speech on
the Bulgarian situation is reassuring. 1t cor
responds with Russia moderate action. and
makes the proper parties responsible. 1t is
the best reply to the pretext OF constitutional
Legality behind which the Bulgarian dicta-
tors have taken shelter. There is reason to
hope that the cooperation of the powers,
which the Emperor Francis Joseph alluded TO,
will be exerted in support OF Russia's patient
and resolute efforts to remove thu elements
which have been opposing the restoration Of
legal order in Bulgaria.

The reason for the defeat of Hon. c. D.
o. Brien is just made apparent. 1t seems that
when he went 10 the polls to vote he held up
his ticket before the crowd and tore of a
strip at the top. The report soon spread
abroad that he had torn off the
name of Ames, and the friends
of the latter proceeded to slaughter
him forthwith, with disastrous results. 1t is
now claimt by Mr.. o. Brien's friends that he
simply tore off the printed words Dem
ocratic ticket as there is some question as
to the legality of ballot so
printed. At any rate, Mr. O'Rrien
would have proven himself a more
sagacious politician if he had prepared his
ticket at home. Mr.. Merriam will be glad to
hear of the break, however, as it goes great
way towards solving the speakership problem.
Mr. o. Brien had formed such peculiar COM

able candidate and dangerous rival.

The RETURN HOME.
How the Sister and Daughter Is Welcomed
in Some Families.


in Some Families.
Helen has been away OH visit of
three weeks. Her friends have been
kind and attentive, and have made ler
stay very pleasant; and yet she is glad
to be at home once more, interested and
pleased with the little changes about the
house, and delighted to be with her
family. In fact, she is so full of high
spirits that she can not keep still, and
rushes up to her sisters room, when she
does not find her with the others. Con-
stance kisses her, and hopes she is well.
80 yesl perfectly WE'LL" says Helen,
, brightly. That's good thing, for
there's plenty of work waiting to be
done, returns her sister, land we are
pretty much tired out the tone SEEM
ing to imply that it is rather inconsder-
ate and selfish for Helen to feel well.
Now, the traveller is tired after her jour
ney, although in her delight she has for
somewhat subdued However, she re-
covers speedily, and sitting in the dear
old cosy sitting-room, she pours out
quite long story of the sayings and do
ings of the past few weeks. All are
quiet, and seem to be listening, but
presently her mother remarks: Dear
me, child, how you do run onr' Helen
comes to full stop somewhat
abashed "Why, Ireally thought. mann
ma, you would like to hear what ! have
been doing "Dutyou told us all those
things in your letters. Have you I'M
packed yet?" mo ma am; I thought
I'd like to see you awhile first. I'll 90
now and begin" Very well; it will
be much better to get il done before
supper; you won't want anything left
slowly upstairs to her work. Her spirits
are low enough now; she almost wishes
herself back among her gay young
friends Constance comes in while she
is laying her clothes away. II hope
you'll be careful, for this room was
swept up Yesterday" said Constance.
''Oh, thank youl But | am afraid you
have had too much work. Iou must
have missed me" mo; we got along
very well, was the reply. 1t may sound
queer, but Helen has homesick feeling.
Nobody is unkind but she seems to be
in the way, and an object of federation:
Is it not u wonder that she is ever glad
to come home? But that is not the
way we do a. our house" Certainly not.
That is what Helen's family said to me
when | told them this incident, with a
change of names. The sister and daugh-
ter is always Welcomed they do not
tell her so. She is n help and comfort
-but they never say so. How is 1t WITT
