THIRTY YEARS AFTER.
A Story with tho Southern Flavor and a
True Spice of Humor.

A Story with tho Southern Flavor and a
True Spice of Humor.
One of the most pleasing Of the current
stories is from the Nashville american
One of the best known citizens, man
of high social standing, and who is as po-
lite as he is ingenious in his social rela-
tions, heard that an old friend, Mrs. Judge
D., from neighboring town in the State
of Alabama, was in the city. His remem-
brance of the charming Mrs. d. when she
was Miss -, and he was the most gal
liant of all the beaux in that circle of cul-
tivated people in the old town of II. car
ried him back to youths fitful frivolities,
when the flash Of the maiden's eye quick
ened the hearts throbbings, and to friend
he said: Well, by George, will go and
see Matte! have not seen her in thirty
years. Wonder if she will know me? Go
with me and see us meet. But don't tell
her who ! am. Don't-be certain. Won
der if she will know me?" And stepping
into bar1er's shop he said "Do me up |;
do NE up nice; make me look as young as
possible. Confound these gray whiskers.
But never mind, FL put on the smile of
youth"
Reaching the residence, he was met in
the hall by the elegant Miss -. He
gave again special instructions not to be
introduced, again calculating: al wonder
if she will know me ?'' Entering the par
lor, there sat in lovely chat a lively bevy
of ladies, the central figure of whom was
Mrs. Judge D., and most lovely woman
she was, too, with head of hair as beauti-
full as boar frost, but bright, smiling
face, which marked charming contrast
with the whitening locks above. APP
preaching her with no introduction, but
extended hands and the smile of youth
under a frosty beard, and with a keen and
lively remembrance of the days long gone
by. he said, with the heroic confidence of
an Andrew jackson and with the polite
ness of a Robert |. Chester, Matte, do
YOU know me?" Mrs. Judge d. catching
the spirit. and not to be beaten in the open
field. politely rose, all smiling. She ac-
cepted both hands which he had rendered
with the bewitching tenderness of a reju-
venated beau, but said, with coy forgetful-
ness: You take me by surprise. Like
myself, you can't conceal the creeping
wears. and one whose head is silvery as
mine can't be expected to remember even
old friends of the youthful period. Please
tell me your name. You keep me in sus-
pense."
"But," said the Nashville friend, with
the politeness born with all the true gen.
tlemen of this good old city of social gen.
tleness, ~why, Matte, dent you know
me? Look into my eye; think back
thirty years ago. Take a good look. I
would know you anywhere. Your eye is
lust the same. You were charmingly
beautiful when young, and time has only
changed the beauty of youth into the
charms of the matron, Well, well, Matte,
l am surprised"
"But," said the lovely woman, whose
charms had been so familiarity handled,
nv name is not Matte. Judge DIS first
wife was named Matte"

MAYOR HEwETT has written letter to
the Legislature and health authorities Of
New York city, in which he invites their
early action upon the question of cholera
importation. 1t ought to secure instant
attention. The shameful experience of
last year should not be repeated. New
York was warned for months of the dan
ger of admitting ships from cholera in
fected ports, but she took no action to pre-
vent the incoming of the pest, For the
sake of little trade she took her
chances" and the result was that presently
she found her quarantine provisions
strained to accommodate the victims of

the disease who were attacked while ships
were en- route from Mediterranean ports to
New York. The inadequacy of the quaran-
tine establishment soon developed, and the
result was exposure of the whole country
to the pest in reckless manner. 1t APP
pears that nothing has been done to remedy
the defects in the New York quarantine
system. Incompetency still rules in the
department. end little or 40 improvement
has been made in the quarantine station.
Past experience, says Mayor Hewett, warns
US that we are now far more likely to suffer
from an invasion of the disease than in
any preceding years. Common prudence
should therefore actuate the people of all
American ports to act far in advance and
prepare to keep the pest at arms length,
and to prevent, so far as it is possible to do

DECAY OF RURAL New ENGLAND
The cultivation of the soil, We have been
taught to believe, is the true foundation of
national prosperity. If this theory is cor
rect, the fact is, to say the least, startling,
that the population of the hill-towns Of
New England is steadily declining, and its
farming lands are becoming unkempt will
dernesses. Vast areas in Connecticut and
Massachusetts, formerly covered with fruit
full meadows and grain-felds, are now "un-
profitably gay" with tenacious sumac and
odorous fern. The once cultivated land is
occupied by bush and brake, and the
woodman plies his axe where seventy-fiye
years ago were heard the ring of the
scythe and the rustic of the sickle.-Amsyi-

The Study of the Pleiades.

The discovery of the nebulous condition
Of the Pleiales has been an almost start
ling illustration of what may be learned by
sheer perseverance in exposing sensitive
plates to the sky. Nearly thirty years ago
NJ. Tenpel, an exceptionally acute OBJ
server, detected flmy veil thrown around
and floating far back from the bright star
Merope, and Mr.. Common saw, with his
three-foot reflector, February 8, 1880, some
additional misty patches in the same
neighborhood In general, however, the
keen luster of the grouped stars appeared
relieved against perfectly dark space
Great then, was the surprise of the NM
Henry on perceiving little spiral nebula
clinging round the star Maia on a plate
exposed during three hours November 16,
1885. The light of this remarkable object
possesses far more chemical than visual
intensity. Were its analysis possible, it
would hence doubtless prove to contain an
unusually large proportion of ultraviolet
rays. 1t is of such evanescent faintness that
Its direct detection was highly improbable;
but since 1t has been known to exist
careful looking has brought it into view
with several large telescopes. 1t was first
usually observed on February 5, 1886,
with the new Pulkowa refractor of thirty
inches aperture, and NJ. Kammermann.
by using tluorescent eye-piece, contrived
to get sight of it with the ten-inch of
the Geneva Observatory. The further
prosecution of the inquiry is due to Mr..
Roberts, of Liverpool With his twenty
inch reflector he obtained on October "a.
1886, a picture of the Pleiades that can
only be described as astounding. The
whole group is shown by it as involved in
one vast nebulous formation. "Streamers
and feecy masses" extend from star to
star. Nebula in wings and trains, neb-
ua N patches, wisps and streaks seem to
fill the system as clouds choke a mountain
valley and blend together the overexposed
blotches which represent the action of
stellar rays. What processes of nature
may be indicated by these unexpected ap-
pearances we do not yet know; but the
upshot OF recent investigation leads us to
suppose them connected with the presence
of copious meteoric supplies and their
infalls upon the associated stars.-We Ed

The NATIONAL tribune. Crowds of veterans
stand ready to respond, and with them the
writer with his dollar. In any event he pur-
poses to furnish one years subscription for
some old comrade, dating from the 1st of Janu-

doubled at once. THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE's
opposition to old soldier Matson and no soldier
Cleveland contributed largely to their defeat,

THE NEXT HOUSE.
The Republicans Have Majority OF Probably


IHc Republicans nave q m5J0flIY OF BT0DaDiy
Seven.
It may be regarded as certain that the Re-
publicans have a majority in the next House,
but the exact number of that majority is still
in doubt West Virginia and Maryland are the
only remaining States in which the results are
not fully determined. The results as first re-
ported, which have been found to be different
from those given in THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE
of last week are as follows;
In California in the First District John De
Haven, Republican, is elected over T. L..
Thompson; in the Second, the election of
Marion Biggs, Democrat, over John A. Eagan,
Republican, is conceded in the Fifth, that of
Timothy G. Phelps, Republican. over Thomas
J. Clunie. Hence, the result is Republicans
5; Democrats /.
In the Fourth District of Connecticut Fred
erick Miles, Republican, has majority over
Edward w. Seymour, this giving the Republic
cans 3, and the Democrats 1.
In Indiana, q. V. Brookshire, Democrat, has
carried the Eighth District over James I. John
ston. Result: Republicans 3; Democrats TO-
The Third District Of Kentucky has gone
Democratic, Isaac H. Goodnight being elected
instead of w. G. Hunter. Republican, as at first
reported, but this is Offset in the Eleventh
District by the election of 81. /. Finley, Re-
publican, instead of F. L. WoIford. Result
Republicans 2; Democrats 8.
The Third Massachusetts, District is Demo-
cratic, John f. Andrew having majority over
A. w. Beard. Result: Republicans, 10; Demo-
Gratis, 2.
The results as first reported in two Districts
in North Carolina are reversed. Benjamin II.
Bum is elected in the Fourth District making
that Democratic, over J. Nichols, and in the
Ninth, Hamilton G. Ewart Republican, is
elected over T. D. Johnston. Result: Republi-
cans 8; Democrats, 6.
In the Tenth Virginia 81. st. G.. Tucker il
elected instead of Jacob Yost, Republican. Re-
suit: Republicans 2; Democrats, g.
In Maryland, the Fifth District is still in
doubt, it being claimed by both Barnes Comp
ton, Democrat, and Sidney L. Mudd, Republi.

ever way it is decided.

| The election of q Democrat w. L. Wilson, in
| the Second District over W. H. II. Flick, i.

UNDER FALSE CoLoRs.

Considerable amusement was created by an
incident which took place last Thursday night
at Wizards Hotel. A young man with dark
hair and mustache dressed in a black suit
with a black OyercOat, alighted from a cab, and
entering the hotel, registered the name James
g. Blaine, jr" 1t was quietly whispered
through the lobby that young Blaine had ar
rived, and several persons gathered near to
look at him. 1t was an easy matter to open
conversation with him, and the young man
talked freely about his father and his relations
with hiswife. lie said he had had an immense
deal Of trouble, aud had been drinking rather
hard Of late. He declared his father had given
him $500 the night before, and that he had al
ready spent more than half Of it, Meanwhile
quite a crowd had collected, among them a
number of newspaper men, aud half a dozen
Of these were willing TO swear the young
man was not Blaine He stood his ground
manfully, however, until one of the srribes,
happening TO notice his umbrella in the cor
ner, where he had carelessly leaned it, wan
dered over 70 il, and saw the name " Theodore
Gleason on the handle. "Ah, Theodore" he
said, as he joined the crowd again, A" you might
as well give it up" Theodore proved to be a
drummer from Boston, and as shout of laugh
ter rose from the crowd he sneal5ed off to bed
and WAS seen 10 more.

quantity of silver dollars to the Treasurer of

from the mint at New Orleans. Upon opening
the boxes it was found that several thousand
dollars had been stolen, and bird-shot substi-
tuted for the silver dollars An investigation
was Immediately instituted by the Treasurer,
but nothing has yet been discovered of the
robber or the methods through which he or
they obtained the money, although the most
