M- father had left his heritage d heritage far different from that which he went forth to vii but I accepted it neverthe- less. Had they known, in heaven, the full ex tent of that inheritance, would they not, as kissed their dead lips in token of my accept ance, have given some sign to stay me? Had I known, as 1 bent over them, to what the oath in my heart would bring me, would even then have renounced it? I cannot say. The dead lips were silent and only the dead know what will be.

Although verily hloiled with the heat, spent the rest ot the day in sauntering about the city and drinking in its marvels until the time when l was due to present myself at Craige Cottage.
 "Mr. Sanderson received me hospitably, and entertained me to a most agreeable meal, though the dishes were somewhat hotly sea- soned, and the number of servants again gave me some uneasiness, But when, after dinner, We sat and smoked out on the balcony and watched the still gardens, the glimmering hpAses and above all, the noble bay sleeping beneath the gentle shadow of the night con fess to feeling that, after all man is at nome wherever Nature smiles so kindly The hush of the hour was upon me and made me dis inclined to speak lest its spell should be broken-disinclined to do anything but watch the smoke-wreaths as they fioated out upon the tranquil air,

Fish City, Mich is one OF the Oldest
towns in the country, having no existence
except in the winter. 1t is situated on
Saginaw B,y-not on the shores but lit
orally on the bsy-ard Is collection OF
board shanties built upon the ice. This
season it contained 1000 houses. They
are the huts Of men who do the winter
nshing for pike, pickerel, lake trout and
whitefsh, and as soon as the ice
forms on the bay their construc-
tion is begun. The fishermen live in their
huts from the time they are built until the
breaking up OF the ic e in the spring fore
es them TO come ashore. There is door
in each hut and in the floor trap door 30
inches squsre. When this israised hole
the same size in the ice is discovered. At
the side of this the fisherman sits all day
and great psrt of the night watching for
his game, which he captures by dexter
Gus use of the spear. From 2.0cO. coo to
2, 500, GOO pounds of choice fish are caught
from the bay each winter.

he could only say as he said TO the peo-
pie whose names were on the paper from
Sullivan county, that they lied and did
not tell the truth, nor did the Senator
when he repeated what they said. He
had not the slightest conscern, not the
slightest feeling, not the slightest irrita-
ton in regard to this matter. II had

CoUNTERFElTERs ARRESTED
A Gang Broken Up at Altoona, Pa.

ALTOONA, Pa, May 5.-A wholesale
arrest of counterfeiters took place at
Loydsville, near this city, to-day. For
some time the people of this vicinity
suspected gang of them were at work
in the neighborhood and yesterday the
suspicion eliminated in the arrest of
five persons, four of whom are charged
with counterfeiting and one with tam
pering with the United States mails.
Detective Simpson, of Loydsville, and
an assistant United States marshal,
effected the arrests. Isaac EdmunsOn
was the first one arrested, and lot of
counterfeit money was found in his
possession. 1t is presumed he gave in-
formation which led to the arrest of the
others, one of them being Daniel Cor
man, in whose possession was found q
box containing dollars and half dollars,
and complete outfit for counterfeit
ing. Two other persons belonging to
the gang were arrested at Coal Port.
John Myers, charged with tampering
with the mails, it is believed III the in-
terest of the cOunterfeiters, was also
arrested at Louisville. The whole
party was taken in chains to Hunting
don for preliminary examination.

HIS HEALTH ALL RIGHT.
And He Will Probably Be Home
in Time for the Convention

PITTsBURG, Pa, May SIN an inter-
view to-day, Chairman Jones, of the
national Republican executive commit
tee, said so far as Mr.. Blaine's health
was concerned, he was as well as he or
dinarily is, barring a slight cold. "Some
OF the stories told about him. said he,
''are absurd. To group some of them
into one general denial, NAV say that
Mr.. Blaine has not decided to be a can
didate; he has not asked his friends to
make an aggressive movement in his
behalf; he has not written any letter
declining the nomination a second time.
and it is not true that he will be on the
ocean and out of the reach of the tele-
graph when the Chicago convention is
in session Mr.. Blaine said he desired
to remain abroad two years, but feared
he would not be able to do so. | would
not be surprised to hear he was
coming next month, or that he
would stay away until next year.
No time has as yet been fixed for his
return. There is no denying the fact
that since the declination there has
been growing sentiment among Re-
publicans that Mr.. Blaine should accept
the leadership of the party in the next
great battle. This movement has great
strength and will be powerful, if not
the most powerful element in the next
intention of Mr.. Blaine to come out
squarely for any candidate or to
plumply ask his friends to support John
Smith OF John Jones. He is only
human, and may of course say 'So-and-
so is my friend, and l would like to see
him nominated and such an expression
would have great Weigbt'

New YORK, May 5.-The World pub
fishes the following: James &. Blaine
Will not be inaccessible when the ma
tional Republican convention is held
June 10. From time to time it has been
stated that Mr.. Blaine's plans would be
so arranged that when the national Re-
publican convention was in session he
would be on the Atlantic, homeward-
bound, and wholly out of reach, so that
he could neither decline or accept a
nomination if rendered to him. The
World, however, yesterday definitely
ascertained that the Maine statesman
will, at that particular and criti-
cal Juncture, be within comparatively
ly easy reach, so that he can easily be
communicated with and can accept a
call from his party, if it sees fit to enter
him in the lists, and he seems again dis
posed to encounter the hard and
perJous work of a presidential
campaign. Some time ago Mrs. An
drew Carnegie, of this city, who, with
her husband, yearly, spend some time
in the highlands of Scotland, sent an
invitation to Mrs. Blaine asking that
she and her distinguished husband
might join them in their yearly
outing. AT the time the letter
was written contradictory reports were
being published in almost every news
paper in regard to Mr.. Blaine's health.
Again there was great uncertainty as
to the time of Mr.. Blaine'S return. On
wednesday last, Mrs. Carnegie re-
ceived letter from Mrs. Blaine, thank
ing her for her kind invitation, and
saying that she and Mr.. Blaine would
gladly accept. Mrs. Carnegie, on the
receipt of the letter, Immediately sent
word as to the time she would arrive in
London. The trip will, in all
probability, be made by coach,
Nr. Carnegie's favorite way of travel
ing, along and over the border. The
party will proceed through the beautiful
Scottish highlands. Mr.. Blaine's friends
here assert there is no doubt about his
improved health. 1t Wou, - -fnlIv

Will Be Nominated.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-Mr. Mullikert,
who is as close to MI. Blaine probably
as any man, said to reporter to-day
that he felt perfectly confident that the
Chicago convention would nominate Mr..
Blaine. Getting the nomination in this
way it would be command from his
party, and he could not refuse to run.
He said he knew nothing of any assent
from Blaine to the proposition to nOmi-
nate him. He did not believe that he
had communicated upon til subject, or
made any utterance to indicate any
change in his feeling since his letter of
declaration. 'He will be nominated
and will accept" concluded Mr.. Mulll-
ken.

CHECKMATING GOULD.
An Injunction Served on Hin
Rather Suddenly.

New YORK, May 5.-The Times says
that Messrs. Gould, Sage and other
officers of the Missouri Pacific were yes
terday served with an order issued by
Judge Barrett, to show cause why their
acts as trustees of the Missouri, Kansas
g. Texas should not be declared illegal,
and enjoining them from altering the
status of the two companies pending the
approaching election of directors.
Gould was anxious to get control of the
International IL Great Northern by get
ting his own directors to issue certifi-
Gates of Indebtedness did manage to get
hold of its stock without paying cent.
Mr.. Gould has now encountered some
of the most determined and powerful
opponents of his life. Behind Mr.. Bull
and Mr.. Martinsen are understood to be
some of the heaviest railroad and finan-
cial men in the country. The effect of
the injunction which Judge Barrett
granted is completely to tie up Jay
Gould for the present and if made per-
manent it will tie him up forever in this
matter.
