 "Yes, Lillie, did not write you l would be here this week?''
 "Yes; but law the country is so torn to pieces that I didn't think you would dare travel"
 "It's growing little dubious, but it would require extraordinary danger to keep me away"
 His low, tender voice, earnest look, gentle pressure of the hand, and warm kiss which brought the flush of crimson to Lillie's cheek told that they were more than friends It was but short distance from the gate to the house, yet it is wonderful the amount of words they managed to exchange as they walked to the front door. No notice was taken of Tom, who fingered Tn the rear, an Ethiopian grin on his features. "Why, goodness sakes, Luke, is that youa" asked MT. Neff, who had reached the door as they came to the porch. 'sW'y, no ,un was lookin' fur ye here. Why didn't ye stay back n Ohio. whar ye wouldn't a been right in tn fret"

Blackhawk gave uttersnce to . grunt and went sullenly away to his quarters.
 Tho greeting between Albert Ne3 and Luke was very cordial
 "What's tn news from town, Albertr' asked Mr. Neff. Any thing mo- about the waha"
 "The country is in an uproar, and we are goin' to be overwhelmed with trouble," Albert answered.
 II am glad to know that you arc for the Union, Luke took occasion to remark.
 Who said wasp and for the first time cloud gathered on Albert's handsome brow
 "Why, certainly understood that you were" Luke answered, httlc puzzled at tho change in his friends manner. "I thought you loyal to the flag of Washing ton, Jefferson and Jackson"
 Albert's face grew dark and his eyes flashed with 8 strange fire that his friend had never seen there before. Lillie noted the change with alarm, and started to her feet, trembling at the dread of something terrible. But Albert Neff was 8 gentleman, and realizing that Luke was Q guest, he gained control of his feelings and replied:
 No one loves the old flag more dearly than l, so long as it protects me, but with that blessed emblem of liberty in the hands of enemies of the South, we must raise our hands against it."

 "Has he done iti" asked MT. Neff
 "Yes, MT. Morgan told me so yesterday he prophesied it six weeks ago, and to-day tho papers are full of it."
 "Well, we'll, well, it do beat all," groaned Mir. Neff. A dark form glided away from the corner of the porch, and the sullen eyes of Blackhawk might have been seen fash ing back at the hated white people, as he stole away from his post of observation.

Novel Case Decided Under the Gus
toms Laws.
WASHINGTON CITY, April 12.-The col
leotor of customs at Port Huron, Mich, re-
Gently assessed duty on some steel plates i'm
ported from Canada for use in the construo-
ton of the international tunnel under the ST
Clair river. The importers appealed to the
treasury department, claiming that the plates
were entitled to free entry under decisions of
the department wherein it was held that ma
terials to be used on the river in the con-
struction of an International bridge would
not be considered as an importation into the
United States, and would accordingly be free
Of duty. The department, however, has af-
frmed the decision of the collector in a let
ter, the concluding paragraph of which
reads as follows:
"As according to your statement it will
take some three months to put these steel
plates together in the required form, and as
they will then be put to use in an excavation
some l ,675 feet from the river, from which
they are to be forced forward at rate of
speed which, according to the engineer in
charge, will take two or three years to bring
about the meeting Of the two cylinders or
shields from opposite sides of the river, the
department is Of the opinion that the ulti-
mate projected use of these plates as a part
of the international tunnel is too remote and
uncertain to warrant the application of the
rule laid down in the decision above cited,
and that your assessment of duty was

John Mcbride Coun>els Coal Miners to A

John Mcbride Counseis Coal Miners to Ac-
cePt a Reduction.
MAssILoN, O, April 12-John Mcbride,
president IF the National Progressive Union
of Miners and Mine Laborers. has issued an
address to the miners and mine laborers of
the United States in which he saws that the
operators having proposed TO pay for mining
for next year, beginning May l, the follow
ing prices: Hooking Valley, 621s cents for
the first six months and 611s cents for the
last six months; Pittshurg district, ~ and
16ls for the first and last half of the year:
and this proposition involving a cut of but
2H cent per ton from last years prices. he
urges them to accept the reduction as the
part of wisdom.
His reasons are, in brief, that it guarantees
peaceful relations between employer and EN-
ploye; ENSURES the adjustment of all disputes
during the coming year by methods of arbi-
tration and Cancellation. 1t will also re-es-
tablish the joint movement of miners and
operators, and this, together with the absence
of strife and bitterness which must come to
many parts of the competitive district with
out an agreement, is well worth our sacrific-
ing "a cents per ton. If no agreement is eff
fected between this and MAY lastrikes in
these necessitate the contribution of large
sums Of money from working miners to aid
those who are contending for price, and who
suffer not only from loss of wages but toe
often from hunger's gnawng pains"

THE OKl AHOMA SETTLERS.

They May Cross the Cherokee Outlet and
Camp on the Border.
WASHINGTON CITY, April l2.-Secretary
Noble has written letter TO the secretary
Of war in response to the inquiry made of
Tim by the commanding general of the di-
vision OF Missouri if settlers will be allowed
to cross the Cherokee outlet, on the northern
line of Oklahoma, prior to April %, so that
they will be on the border and in readiness to
enter when the proclamation goes into effect.
The secretary recommends that they be al
lowed to do So He thinks, however, that
the settlers, in their journey across the Cher
okee outlet, should be confined to the pub
lie highways, post or military roads, or es-
tablished cattle trails in going toward the
tract of land to be opened to settlement But
there should be a military patrol upon the
road or roads that shall prevent the settlers
from staying longer than necessary on the
way, and require them to move on There
should be every care taken to have the In
dians understand that by this passage there
Is no disposition to appropriate their lands,
and that it will be continued no longer than
absolutely necessary"
The secretary further says that as soon as
the proclamation takes effect the route now
permitted to be taken will he closed This
permit to cross the outlet, he explains, is not
to be taken as a permit to enter Oklahoma
oogent reason with Secretary Noble for
permitting settlers at this time TO cross the
outlet Is to place the settlers coming from the
north on an equal footing with settlers who
are now on the border of Oklahoma terri
tory or in the Chickasaw nation and ready
TO cross the line the moment the clock strikes
10 on April %. All permits under this order
will be granted under the authority of the
military officer in command

WASHINGTON CITY, April l2-Commis-

roll: whenever a pensioner is disabled in a

such pensioner SHALL by reason of that fact,
be entitled to the rate Of $50 per month under
the act of August 4, 1885,"
Assistant Secretary Bussey, in the case of
John Boyer, company A, One Hundred and
Eleventh Ohio volunteers, yesterday rendered
an important decision in which he reversed
q former decision of the commissioner of pen
sons. The claimant applied for pension
for blindness, alleging that he contracted
bilious intermittent fever while in the service
and in line of duty, on or about April 8, 1865,
from the effects of which he has lost his eve
sight" After reviewing certain evidence in
the case Mr.. Bussey says: II am of the opinion
that your office 1.-THE pension ofiicel has been
led into an erroneous decision of this case,
and that the errors consist first, in your hold
ing in effect that claimant was required to
show that his disease OF the eyes must have
manifested itself while in the service in order
to entitle him TO a pension therefor; and Sec
ond, in disregarding the fact that claimants
memory as well as his sight was impaired,
and that therefore he should not be held too
strongly 20 the doctrine of estoppel."
After quoting authorities to sustain his po-
sition and citing from the evidence to trace
Boyer's blindness TO the effect of the fever,
Mr.. Bussey says: The soldier is now totally
blind, and it requires no aid of Imagination
in view of the evidence IN this case to trace
his blindness to his military service and the
disease incurred therein. He has hospital
record of having been treated while in the
service for intermittent fever. and the med
ical referee holds that his disease of eyes can
be reasonably attributed TO intermittent
fever as alleged" In this the assistant sec
Rotary concurs and reverses the decision of
the commissioner.

WAS DEVOID OF FEELING.
Death in Cincinnati of Boy Without
Sensibility fo Pain

Sensibility to Pain.
CINCINNATI, April II The death of young
John Walsmith which occurred Wednesday
night was one of the strangest that ever oc-
CURED in this country. The boys death was
due to foreign substances in the stomach. He
had been under physicians care for four
years. and had given a great deal of trouble
He was strong as giant, but had no phys
ical feeling. He had placed his hand on a
hot stove and wat ched it roast. Nothing
seemed to materially injure him or give him
pain. He had been run over by one of John
Robinsons circus wagons. He had fallen
from the top of the bridge over
Spring Grove avenue, a distance of
forty feet, and once walked out of a
two-story window Any one of the casualties
would probably have killed a boy in a nor
NAL condition, but he never broke bone. He
is SCARED all over, and surgeons have sewed
up great cuts while he sat and amused him
self. Although he was bright child at or 5
yearsof age, he soon began to grow stupid and
was inclined to idiocy. His hearing had nearly
gone and he had ceased to talk. In his stom-
ach was found strange variety, consisting
of green ball Of yarn, marbles, nickels, a
large undigested apple core, and other small
articles. The cause of his death was the green
ball of yarn, which contained large needle
It stuck at the stomach entrance and killed
him.
