A PRESENTIMENT.

Some one was playing soft, grave music in
the silence Of the great vaulted chamber-a
chamber with deep, wide windows looking
onto the Rospiglioni Gardens of Rome.
A beautiful chamber, the studio of a
woman artist, whose name was we'll known
to the world of art 1t was lighted by shaded
lamps, and out of shadowy corners cleaned
rich, artistic draperies and stands of palms
and flowers and odd, quaint cabinets laden
with china and bronze and bric-a- brac.
A group of people were seated near the
open fireplace; there was fragrance of tea
and delicate comestibles, and now and then
the chink of cups and spoons and soft hum of
voices. 1t was the day on which Mme Mon
creiffe received, the one day in the week on
which her friends and admirers were privi-
legged to intrude on her solitude, for, as
rule, she lived a very solitary life, and never
had been known to accept any Of the invita-
lions showered upon her by the English and
foreign society who wintered at Rome.
She sat now on low chair by the fire. A
woman no longer young, and with a face
whose pale and chiseled beauty was marred
by an expression Of intense sadness-the face
of woman for whom life had held tragedy
of no common kind. Her eyes were gazing

Music has many advantages. In society it
readily lends itself to use as well as enter
tainment-it is an incentive to confidence
and conversation The voices rose and fell
in rhythmical cadence, subdued in Difference
to an occasional chord; but not in any way
oppressed by the necessity Of listening. The
woman in the chair was silent; but her COM
panion, as if emboldened by the murmurs
around, nestled closer and whispered an en-
treaty.

HIS SONS WIFE.

When, after prolonged resistance on the
part of the rate payers, the school board at
length invaded the suburb of Abney, N. w.,
and erected schools superior in every respect
to those already existing in the parish, there
was no one whom the change affected more
than it did old Reuben Sparrow, the master
of the Free College for Boys. His pupils had
never liked him much, and now they dropped
off one by one till the embittered and sorely
mortified man was compelled to resign his
post.
Fortunately he had saved enough to live
on, and SO, having no need to go in search of
fresh employment, he was able to devote the
best part Of his time to the studies in which
he had formerly delighted.
He was now a man of nearly 20, with
broad, though rounded shoulders, and face

Tho "Lamentables" of Paris.

There are a good many nOndescript fellows
forever hanging about the central markets,
and one class of them are known in the local
slang as the "Lamentables. " These depend
for daily food on such fragments of broken
victuals as they can gather from the garbage
heaps before these are carted away by street
scavengers. Along about noon the Lamenta-
bles, having laid in their stock, assemble I'M
der the archway facing the rue de La Lingerie
for the purpose Of eating it. They come singly
and never notice each other or the passers by.
They are ragged lot, their coats are thread
bare and filthy, their hats are greasy and
battered, their shoes were gathered from
cutters and rubbish heaps, and few of them
show any such luxuries as shirts or socks
Each one carries under his arm bundle
rolled up in piece of newspaper, and from
these, after they have seated themselves on
the narrow ledge which projects from the
base of the market house few inches above
the pavement, they commence eating scraps
and remnants, bones to which a few shreds
Of meat are still clinging, pieces of fish, cab
bage stalks, cold potatoes, crusts of moldy
bread that show unnistakable traces of the
cutters out of which they were gathered.
They handle this repulsive looking food
with their fingers, devour it hungrily and
greedlly, and present the appearance Of wild
animals feeding. Every now and then a
muttered exclamation of satisfaction is
heard, uttered by one whe has come across
some exceptionally large or toothsome NOR
sci in his miscellaneous collection of broken
yictuals The meal over, they draw up their
knees, lean forward on their crossed arms
and are soon asleep. When they awake their
stomachs will feel as empty as before, for
such food as they subsist on does not contain
much nourishment and they will spend the
afternoon looking for materials for their Sec
ond meal. They are surly lot, and under
stand are for the most part men who were
once clerks or employees in shops and who lost
their places through betting on horse races

COLUMBIA, S. c., Oct. S.-somc re-
markablc weather is reported from a sec
ton of Colleton county, this State, about
twenty miles square. For fourteen
months following the great earthquake
OF August, 1856, there was an almost
continuous draught, during which time
the total rainfall did not exceed two
inches. Streams and springs dried up,
crops and cattle persisted for the want Of
water, and it was difficult for the people
to obtain good drinking water. A little
over two months ago rain began falling
steadily in that section and for fifty
seven days there were only two on
which it did not rain. All the lowlands
have been turned into lakes. No crops
have been made and the people are con-
sequently in u deplorable condition.

In order to compel recognition from the
older trunk lines, he will, no doubt
have to make war upon them, and It IS
to make this difficult for him that
the Vanderbilt and Pennsylvania people
object to the restoration Of grain rates.
They mean to keep the grain rates so

ming into Wheeling would be in poor
plight for passenger business from this
point il only the few rich were to ride
on them. Indeed there never is stop
page Of even one OF our principal indus
tries that is not at once felt by our rail
roads. fany railroad man doubts this
let him take the trouble to inquire.
To sum up the case Of the American
railroad man, the Protection afforded by
the tariff to those American industries
which the tariff Immediately touches,
as in the cases cited, gives him more
than double, generally three times, the
pay received by men employed in the
| like work in England. OF the truth OF
this statement the American railroad
man can easily satisfy himself. Yet he
is one OF the Americans whom it is
sought to impress with the false state
ment that he gets no Protection and is
being robbed by the tariff. The intelli'
gent railroad man understands the mat
ter too well to be deceived.

President Cleveland and those who
deny the wisdom Of the system OF Pro-
lection, seek to divide the American
people into the protected and unprotect-
ed classes.
BY the protected classes they mean
those whose product is directly protect
ed by the tariff Tor example, men en-
ployed in the pottery industry, the glass
industry, the iron and steel industry and
the like.
By the unprotected classes they mean
carpenters, painters, bricklaycrs, rail
road men and all whose industry, in the
nature OF things, cannot be protected by
tariff on their product. Having thus
divided the American people, the Free
Traders cndeavor to array against each
. other the classes as they have divided
them.
The fallacy of the argument is us APP
parent as the unpatriotic effort to array
against each other elements OF the Ma
ton mutually dependent, the one class
or the other being unable to stand by
itself. The easily understood relation OF
the railroad men to the industries OF
Wheeling shows in part how their Pro-
lection comes.
A large percentage OF the freight bust
ness OF the railroads touching Wheeling
is made up of raw materials brought in
to, and the finished product carried out
from, our mills, glass houses, pottcries
and industrial establishments. But
Wheeling depends for its life upon the
success of these industrial establish
ments. They make the home market
for the home farmer; they put money
IN the handsot the people who buy the
groceries and the dry goods, the tin ware,
the crockery and what-not offered by
our home tradcsmen.
Stop the industrial establishmentsand
there is u stoppage OF all that goes with
them. Impair the wage-paying power
OF the industrial establishments and
there is impairment OF the purchasing
power OF all who in any way depend
upon the industrial establishments.
There being less freight to bring in and
take out fewer men will be required in
transporting Wheeling's freight. But
the number of men desiring this en-
ployment, SO far from being less, will be
greater. The men formerly employed
in the glass houses, in the pOtteries, in
the iron mills, in need OF food, will be
glad to find employment where they can.
That which is true OF freight is equal
~ true OF the passenger traffic. The
travelling public is drawn from the great
body of the people, and there are found
the wage-earners. The railroads run
