seeing my false love come out alone;
but this was put to a stop by a po-
liceman, who arrested me as a sus-
picious character and probable bur-
glar, as always suspected at the in
stigation Of Miss Byngs herself, who
must have observed him lowering
about the park shrubbery.
At length, utterly dispirited and
disheartened, and feeling that I had
indeed lost Celestine forever, I joined
a party of friends who were starting
West to make their fortunes.
After knocking around for some
months, and finding myself reduced
to either cutting timber or starva-
ton, I made my wav to San Francis
co, where | secured situation as
assistant stoker on an Australian
bound steamer.
1t was just one year after my de-
parture from home that I landed in
New York, and thence in a few hours
made my way to my former place of
residence.
AS l walked slowly up the familiar
streets, thinking of Celestine. and
wondering, with a pang, if she were
yet married, some one darted out of
shop and addressed me excitedly.
1t was a youth whose countenance
was to me unfamiliar.

WAR ON THE TRUSTS.
Three Bills Aimed Against Them Laid
Before the Senate.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 4-The first bill in
troduced in the Senate in the first session Of
the Fifty-frst congress was from Mr.. Sher-
man, and was aimed at trusts. 1t is identi-
cal with the antitrust bill reported by him
last year from the committee on finance.
1t declares all trusts unlawful, gives persons
power to recover in the courts whenever
articles are advanced in value by combina-
tlons, and declares officers of trusts guilty
OF misdemeauors. Other measures ON the
same subject were introduced as follows:
By Mr.. Reagan-A bill In which occurs
the following definition OF trust:
A trust is combination Of capital, skill
or acts, by two or more men, persons,
firms, corporations or association of per-
sons, or of any two or more Of them, for
either, any OF all of the following purposes:
l. To create or carry out any restrictions
in trade
2. To limit or reduce production, or to
increase or reduce the price of merchandise
or commodities.
3. To prevent competition in manufact-
ure, making, purchase, sale or transporta-
ton of merchandise, produce or commodi-
ties.
4. To fix standard or figure whereby
prices to the public shall be in any manner
controlled or established of any article,
commodity, merchandise, produce, or COM
merce intended for sale, use, or consump-
ton.
5. To create monopoly in the making,
manufacture, purchase, sale or transporta-
tion of any merchandise, article, produce,
or commoditY,
q. To make or enter into, or execute, or
carry out any contract, obligation or agree
ment of any kind or description by which
they shall bind, or shall have bound them
selves not to manufacture, sell, dispose Of
or transport any article or commodity,
or article of trade, use, merchandise or
consumption below the common standard
figure; or by which they shall agree in any
manner to keep the price of such article,
commodity or transportation, at a fixed or
graduated figure; or by which they shall in
any manner establish or settle the price of
any artice, commodity or transportation,
or between themselves and others, so as to
preclude free and unrestricted competition
among themselves and others in the sale
and transportation of any such article or
commodity, or by which they shall agree to
pool, combine, or unite in any interest they
may have in connection with the sale or
transportation of any such article, or COM
modify. that its price may in any manner
be so affected.

he Will Not Sanction a Movement for
His Restoration.
LISBON, Dec. 4.-The Brazilian royalists
in this city state that Emperor Dom Pedro
is much opposed to propositions made in the
United States looking to the organi-
zation of an American CONNER
cial zollverien. He bases his objections
on the fact that Brazil is chiefly an agri-
cultural country, not yet much advanced
in manufacturing interests, and that it
is in need of European capital,
immigrants and markets, and cannot
deprive itself of these by joining in an ex
clusively American combination. Emperor
Dom Pedro, it is said, foresaw the recent
revolution, but declined to consent to any
efforts at repression. He will himself be
the greatest obstacle to any activity on
the part of his partisans. Emperor
Dom Pedro telegraphed from the
Island of st. Vincent to Count
Caserta, husband Of his niece, that he will
remain in Lisbon fortnight, and will then
proceed to Cannes, where a friend has
offered him the use OF his villa.
Emperor Dom Pedro is reported as having
said at st. Vincent that any attempt to
restore monarchy in Brazil would only tend
to bloodshed, and that he is convin ced that
the republic is firmly established.
1t is stated that the Brazilian minister in
Paris has been dismissed.

Counter Protests Made in the Ma

LISBON, Dec. AIN response to protest
which the British minister here was in

claim to the ownership of Mashona Land,
there are made now vigorous Portuguese
protests. The Lisbon secretary has pro-
tested against the action of the English
authorities in supplying Lohengulu with
rifles for the purpose of enslaving the
natives Of Mashona Land, and demands
that energetic measures be Immediately
taken for the protection of the natives.
This protest, it will be seen, accuses the

the slave trade. The secretary also pro-
