CHAPTER XVII.-HOW AUGUSTA WAS FILED
That very afternoon Eustace returned
to Lady Holmhurst's house in Hanover
square, to tell his dear Augusta that she
must attend on the following morning TO
be filed in the Registry at Somerset House.
As4nay be imagined. though willing to 90
any reasonable length to oblige her new
found lover. Augusta not unuaturally re-
sisted this course Violently, and was sup
ported in her resistance by her friend
Lady Holmhurst, who, however, presently
left the ROOM leaving them TO settle it as
they liked
Il do think that is a little hard" said
Augusta, with a stamp of her foot. that,
after all that l have gone through, Ishould
be taken off to have my unfortunate back
stared at by Doctor some one or other,
and then be shut up with a lot of musty
old wills in a Registry"
well, my dearest girl" said Eustace.
"either it must be done or else the whole
thing must be given up. Mr. John Short
declares that it is absolutely necessary
that the document should be placed in the
custody OF the officer of the court"
But how am going to live in a cup
board, or in an iron safe with a lot of
wills:' asked Augusta feeling very cross
indeed.
Il don't know, am sure. " said Eustace;
Mr.. John Short says that that is a matter
which the learned Doctor will have to set
tie. His own opinion is that the learned
Doctor-confound him,-wiu order that
you should accompany him about wherev-
er he goes till the trial comes off, for, you
see, in that way ycu would never be out
of the custody of an officer of the Court.
But went GA Eustace. gloomily, all l
can tell him, If he makes that order, is,
that ii he takes you about with him he will
have TO take me too"
Why" said Augusta

THE BOURBONISM OF THE RE.
PUBLICAN PARTY.

One of the ablest attempts to arouse the
Republican party from its Bourbonism,
and bring it into line with the
popular thought of America, Is the speech
of Hon. Seth Low, the Republican ex-
Mayor of Brooklyn, delivered at gather
ing of prominent Republican politicians
held IN commemoration of Lincoln S BIRTH
day, and extracts from which we publish
on the first page of this paper. 1t will be
very interesting to the Southern Demo
ability, but because it shows the new line
of thought that is taking possession of
the independent mind of Republicanism IN
opposition to the progressive, Bourbon
the ascendant and control its policy. Mr..
Low is a son of Mr.. A. A. Low, one of
the owners of Low-moor, and is classed in
his party as one of the ''Young Republl-
cans" both in age, in vigor, and in indie
pendence of thought. When such as be
get to be in the ascendant in the Repubi-
can party, it will more deserve the name
of National than it does now, and 1t will
be more dangerous to "solid South"
than it is now. 1t is promise of long
lease of power to the Democracy. that the
most narrow, embittered, and Bourbon
rut-travellers of the Republican party are
now shaping its course and steering 1t by
the lights astern.
The text taken by Mr.. Low for his ad
dress was 1.-The Relation of the RepuOli-
can Party to the New Voters" That thu
New Voter has turned his back on the
Republican party WAS made clear in 'S4.
1t was he that in the close States carried
by the Democrats, elected Mr.. Cleveland.
AS for instance in Connecticut, where
Cleveland exceeded Hancock's vote by
2,7S4 and Blaine ran behind Garfeld's vote
by 1,14S. The New Voter will be in still
in greater strength this year, and the Re
publican party has nothing new to offer
him. Nothing but tie old, stale-War,

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, February.-The Twen-
ty-Second of February, the day of President
and Mrs. Cleveland's visit to Jacksonville,
was gala day for that city. Excursion trains
were run from every accessible point, and at
an early hour full $4,000 yisitors, together
with the citizens, thronged tbs streets. The
decorations were profuse and very tastefully
gotten up. At least two dozen triumphal arches
were thrown across the different streets, some
bearing notices such as, ''Welcome to our
Sunny South,' with open arms we greet
thee" ''Hail to the chief" Jacksonville re-
ioices to-day" ''Our President &c. All of
these were beautifully decorated in palmet-
toes, ferns, cedars orange blossoms, aud over
all was gracefully draped Spanish moss. All
of the business houses and G great many
private residences were decorated in the same
way: At 2;30 the Presidential party arrived
at the depot The depot and waiting rooms
were also decorated, and carpets spread from
the car, through the reception rooms, to the
carriages. A handsome carriage drawn by six
black horses awaited the President and his
wife.
THE CARRIAGE
was literally covered with trailing vines of the
yellow iessamine, orange blossoms, and every
description of lovely flowers, aud on the back
of the carriage which was thrown back, rested
large floral pillow composed of handsome
roses iaponioas, pansies, and violets, Stream
ers of red, white and blue tied ON either side
of the horses heads, were the only decorations
they wore while at the heads of the leading
horses were two colored hostlers in full livery
Mrs. Cleveland's travelling dress was Of sage
green cloth, the skirt braided elaborately and
the oyerskirt looped up with frogs to match
the braid; her hat was of the turban style to
match her dress, and she wore tan-colored
tailorvmade coat, trimmed in gold braid
Companies of military and mounted escort
followed the procession, and the different
bands played ''Dixie," yankee Doodle" and
Hail to the Chief" which brought forth loud
and deafening cheers from the multitude.
The party was then conducted to the st.
