CHAPTER XVII.

Early on the day following that on which
Bielski had informed us OF his extraordinary
discovery. my good friend Harding found
himself at Whitehall In the room of the
permanent under secretary of the home de-
partment Belmore was with him, and they
had already drawn up brief statement of
the facts which had been discovered with
regard to the murder of Mr., Mauleverer
and the actual position of Daisy. One by
one Mr.. Bemore placed these facts before
the great Official and showed, not merely
how the strong evidence which had been
brought against my darling at the trial had
been neutralissd by Subsequent discoveries,
but how there was now positive testimony
testimony Of an extraordinary kind, indeed,
but still testimony which was conclusive
with regard to the actual criminal and his
real accomplices, for whose arrest warrants
had been issued. s
The under secretary listened with patience
ard attention, and then armed with the docu-
ments which they handed TO him, he went to
the apartment of the secretary of state. A
few minutes later they stood in the presence
of the minister himself.
II have been deeply interested in this case,
Mr.. Belmors. and very much troubled by it.
1t was so difficult to believe that young
girl could have been guilty of a crime OF
this sort AMI yet the evidence was ap-
parently complete, and unfortunately have
too much reason to know that we can never
trust absolutely to antecedent improbable
ties in cases of this kind"
"But now, sir, think You will admit that
the evidence Is Gear as far as it goes, and
that IL establishes the innocence Of this
young lady"
II must see the judge first in the matter
replied the minister, cautiously. f
"And may venture to ask" interpossd
Harding, "that you will act as soon as you
possibly can, sir! I need not point out 10
you the cruel position of this Yong lady at
the present moment, or of those to whom she
is dear"
my dear sir, shall act at once; in such
case delay would be inexcusable. But you
must forgive me il 1 withhold my own
opinion until have ascertaincd that Of the

The N. d 5. Railway,

in behalf of the projected North and
South railroad. 1t is no longer matt

nor are we permitted, with favorable
action on the pending bill of the legis.
lature in regard to aiding railway
building by property.holders, to doubt
for moment what will be the final
results of this encouraging indication
of more prosperous times in the near
future. 1t is to be remarked here, in
a more local view, that the construc.
ton of the 1900 feet of railway to the
Compress in this city, has had a most
stimulating effect upon our citizens,
has served 10 show, how indubitably
see, what might be expected, both
here and elsewhere, in killing off
stagnation in business and in feeling
by the construction ofa railroad North
and South and interstate in its

Couldn't Garry Him.

The Boston Herald Qnd.) finds two
causes for the decreased vote for the
Republican candidate for Governor in
Massachusetts,. The first was the dis
satisfaction with Mr.. Ames. .sThe
second cause" it says, 1--WE find in the
activity Of Mr.. James G. Blaine as a
Republican leader. This revived the
worst memories that pertained to the
Republican party in its later action.
1t did more. 1t gave evidence which
seemed to mark the further degenera-
ton of the party. Mr.. Blaine, appear
ing in public as a Republican leader,
identified himself with the Republican
party wherever it existed. He was a
heavy load to carry in Massachusetts,.
Not alone the Independents, but many
Republicans had come to feel that with
Mr. Blaine defeat two years ago there
ought to be an end of him as candi-
date for the Presidency. They saw
him pressing directly to that goal
again; they saw the Republican press
Of the State defending and even eulo-
giving his speeches; they saw-most
discouraging of all-Mr. Blaine invited
to take a part in their own canvass.
They were disheartehed and Disguised,
and thus they became Indifferent to the
canvass.

A Democratic Senate.

Every day brings fresh evidence that
the elections resulted in grand DEM
ocratic triumph. In addition to carry
ing Minnesota, California and Colo
RADIO, and reducing the Republican
majorities in Iowa and Ohio, the party
makes such gains in State Legislatures
as will guarantee the complete obliter-
alton of the Republican majority in the
United States Senate.
In the present Senate the Republic
ans have majority of eight. 1t was
expected that there would be slight
reduction in this majority, but the
most hopeful didn't anticipate that it
would be wiped out in single contest.
The general belief was that by 1889
sufficient changes might be made to
change the complexion of the body,
but the late victory has made it posi-
BILE by the fourth of March next.
This is the most important result OF
the elections. To have the support of
the Senate to the Democratic Admins
tration is strengthening the arm of the
party more directly and effectively
than any other agency could ac-
complish. With such a result the DEM
Gratis have no reason to complain OF
the late election. Harrisburg Patriot

A Great Difference.

Secretary Lamar has been making
some rafting speeches in the South
west and telling the people that the
United States is a pretty fair place to
live in after all. Though he did not
avoid the subject of the war and for
mer sectional differences, he expressed
the belief that the North and the South
have reached a stage in their history
when they can lock arms and march
through "the corridors of time" to the
music of the Union. Let us see-Sec-
rotary Lamar is a Southern man.
Mr.. Blaine has been making a tour
through Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey, doing his best to keep the old
ante-bellum antagonisms alive. He
has shaken them up as kennel keeper
lashes his dogs and sets them all yelp-
ing. Then in a magnificent peroration
he described the tyranny of the whites
and the oppression of the blacks until
the groundlings were wild with de-
light.
1t is little odd that the South should
accept the new order of things, while
Mr.. Blaine insists that unless the North
hates the South it yields one of its
greatest privileges and is recreant to
its most important duty.-M T.

SCIENCE AND FICTION.

The Manner In Which tho Two Are In
debted to Each Other.
The bonds linking together science
and fiction are already strong. Science
owes to our novelists much of its inter-
est, much of its publicity. The scientist
slowly and laboriously hammers out
some new discovery, some recognition
of the individuality of a certain group
Of symptoms which had been previously
lost in the crowd; wearied with his
work, he too often launches this discov-
cry, with all the ugliness of technically
hanging around it like a convict's dress,
betokening the hard labor through
which it has passed; and then some
good Samaritan of novelist turns out
Of his way to take pity omit, to lavish
care upon il, to clothe it anew, to at
tract to it the attention of the public,
and thus to save it from death through
neglect. It is introduced into good So
ciety, and it thrives, and perhaps be-
comes a leading topic Of conversation
for short time.
But if the scientist has reason to be
grateful, so also has the novelist. New
facts have been given to him, new mar
vels to dilate upon and make his own;
he has been supplied with new modes Of
escape from the web Of intricacies with
which he has entangled his characters,
AMI .hus the advantage is mutual,

For the continuance of this good fol.

For the continuance of this good fol.
lowship there is reason to be hopeful.
Medical science has never perhaps been
more active than at the present time.
The new diseases and the new methods
of treatment which have not been
utilized in novels are already forming .
portentous crowd clamoring for recog-
milton in story. Neurasthenia and its
cure by the Weir Mitchell process of
massage has not, to my knowl-
edge, yet been drawn in, al
though the marvellous cures of
bed-ridden individuals would seem
to furnish scope for an interesting
worker. The antiseptic process also
has its picturesque sides; the saving of
life and limb on the battlefield, as fur
nished by the medical records of the
last Egyptian campaign, gives ample
opportunity for surprises Of the most
telling character.
The recognition Of hitherto unre-
allied disease by means of the ophthal-
moscopc and the prognostic value OF
the signs might also be described. Loco
motto ataxia has already played a part
in an Agnostic dialogue in q contem-
porary, but there is yet room for its
further development in the pages of
fiction. Metallo-therapy is too much
discredited now to find favor, but the
prophylactic action Of copper against
cholera was until recently sufficiently
unproven to allow of its being swept
into the vortex of fiction, for the in
struction of those who do not follow
the medical journals assidiously.
1t is impossible to lay down rules or
to point out all the lines which might
be followed. The aim of this article is
to show from the past what has been
worthily accomplished, what has been
recklessly undertaken, as well as the
mistakes of those attempting to foretell
the future of medicine, in the hope that,
while aflording interest to the public, it
may also help novelists, who, with the
materialist of recent poet:
Would learn with the boldest to think,
Would grapple with things that perplex,
Would stand ON the verge and the brink
Where the seen and the unseen are met.
