Only $65,OOO Insurance.

that nothing could be saved. The Empire
mill was filed with the most improved
machinery, all of which was destroyed.
The total loss is now estimated at about
S200, 900. The insurance is S65, 900.

MIRIAM |.
The Romance Of Healtt293rlleigh Hall
By MANDA L. CROKER.
CorYR1GuT, 1889.
CHAPTER XIV.

The heart-sick and mystifed servants
stood speechlessly looking after the car
riage until the trees of the winding ave
nue shut it from their fearful vision.
A bird, high up in the budding branches
broke forth lnto rapturous song as the car
viage passed slowly in the Pickering light
and woven shadows beneath.
Miriam put a very white face out Of the
carriage side and took a farewell inven-
tory Of the scene.
An air of neglect had begun to tell on the
once handsome drive; dead twigs were
scattered about, heaps of brown leaves en-
sconced themselves at the foot Of the row
OF stately elns, while the fugitives drifted
about over the greening sward. Here and
there, however, an early spring flower lift
cd it's smiling face along the unused way,
and the bird still sang on
"Ahi well, sing on, little harbinger OF
bright hours and fair weather." mur1rured
Miriam, with white lips and trimming eyes.
The brave, daring spirit Of a few minutes
previous had been supplanted now by the
woman y impulses of her heart.
s'Good-bye, good-bye" came in sad &C
cents as she passed under the arch of the
outer gate spanned by two bronze lions,

utter hopelessness of the case, shut, mas
ter, Miriam is gone; saw her go.'
ssAlas alas! another golden opportunity
has Gown from me, and am left in my
house desolate! desolate!"
Sir Rupert rose from his chair, and,
stretching out his arms as if to grasp some
unseen object, took step forward and fell
prone on the floor. The terrified James
now seized the bell-pul and sent it's hur-
ried summons loudly through the Hall.
In moment hurrying feet came up the
staircase and wild, frightened faces looked
in.
"The masters fainted,'' explained the
butler, trying in vain to lift him up. Gle
imagines the mistress is here, ana wanted
| me to coax her to stay with him. And when
told him she was gone, and the little one
also, why, he just got up and took on awful
| Iy, and finally he tainted dead away''
They removed the inanimate form of their
master to his sleeping apartment and ap-
Piled restc"atives, which they 1ound az
| hand in side cupboard there.
Sir Rupert slowly regained consciousness,
| moaning and murmuring OF Miriam. And
all night long they staid, faithful servants
that they were, by ST: Rupert, and did what
they could to relieve him. Once he opened
his eyes very wide and started up, saying:
ooh! ask her. ask her-but stop, she is
gone, you say?'
Then he lay down again, turning his face
TO the wall, and shivered as ifseized with an
ague fit.
aLet i'm doie,' said Ancn, unfeelingly.
'sLet i'm, and it will be the ind ov it,
"Shet up, We baste,o snapped Peggy,
| under her breath, as under the touch Of her
skillful, motherly hand the master fell into
troubled sleep.
Just as the rosy dawn flushed the east,
and the fresh breeze swept over the silent
world in token Of the coming morning, Sir
Rupert sank into quiet, restful sleep, ana
the servants retired, leaving their master
in calm, untroubled repose.
But after that memorable day OF angry
meeting. Of regret and conjunction, fol-
lowed by an almost fatal halluc1natlon
bringing hours of wakeful agony, Sir Ru>
pert was strangely altered man.
Mild and gentle in tone and manner, even
to the least of them, he commanded at last
the love and respect of the much-trled
| hous ehold. They learned to pity him for
his lettering step and whitened crown, and
to love him for the sake of one whom fate
had driven forever from Heatherlelgh.
Invariably they murmured ''poor master p
when he walked alone about the grounds,
hating here and there to rest and to
think.

une jewellers of the country side pitied
Sir Rupert from afar, ana gradually, al
most imperceptibly, drifted back to the
long-avoided Hail Dropping in on one pre-
text and another, they strove to console
him and brighten the gloom of his declining
years; but, after all, the master of Heath
erleigh was slow in accepting any preferred
kindness, and seemed to look upon even old
acquaintance as intruders. It seemed, in
spite Of their endeavors to be friendly. that
they had failed in impressing Sir Rupert
favorably.
''The Percival grit was in him, barrin' all
his lamb-loike ways" Peggy said.
/ Occasionally Sir Rupert would ride out
sometimes to the clergyman's, sometimes
to the city to interview his attorney. And
aga.n he would spend half day in leaning
back in his favorite carriage and being
driven slowly through the parks, across the
commons or back and forth along the
pleasant reaches and sunny slopes of Fair
light.
What his thoughts were during these
long, solemn drives not a soul could guess,
and he never conveyed by single mono
syllable one impulse of his soul. And the
weary-hearted coachman felt as it he were
driving his masters hearse over lonely,
beaten ways rather than his animate self
during these sorrowful, souldepressing
outings. Many pitied Sir Rupert as he
passed by, but many more sympathized
with and ptied the long-suffering coach
man.
Perhaps the austere soul of Sir Rupert
was relenting--was doing earnest penance
in the wordiess marches. All! 1t might
have been deepest conjunction was busy
with the long neglected heart, and dong its
work in the dark depths of his silent soul;
perhaps that calm serenity on his daugh-

Sir Rupert spread out its long-folded
length on his hand, gazed intently at the
chirography for some time, apparently try
ing to decipher its contents. Not making it
out satisfactorily, he handed it to the sex
ton who stood watching him, and said, hur-
riedly: ssRead it to me, will you!''
The quiet sexton, having an idea Of some
thing of its contents, took the paper re.
luctantly and read in clear, modulated
tones:

CHAPTER XVI.


In these last days of his unlucky life,
these last weary days, every thing con-
ducive to a lingering remorse had united
against the proud soul OF Sir Rupert, even
the old facade suggested a tomb.
It only needed little something more to
tip the balance, and in favor Of a Fastening
demise Sir Rupert could say: Il am ready.
Oh! Charon; stand waiting on the treach-
erous sands"
Peevish and restless he finally grew
spending hours in climbing up and down
the silent staircases, echoing only to his
faltering steps.
Sometimes resting on the landings, he
would mutter to himself of the deceased
Lady Percival, and Of Miriam, and often Of
the little grandson.
Then there came time when he rtsked
the staircase no longer alone; and in
these wretched days he strayed about the
dark, gloomy corridors above during the
long, monotonous summer afternoons, but
oftener in the midnight watches.
The whole household were daily growing
nervous and uneasy, and were obliged to
occupy rooms near those of their master in
order that his many strange fancies might
be the easier looked after.

There is something revolving to the.
common mind in putting tax on
salt. Salt is of such universal use that
the attempt to make it scarce or dear.
seems like a proposition to limit the.
supply Of air or water. The Protec-
tionists in this country have taxed it,
but they excuse themselves yths pless
that they only intend thereby to en-
courage its cheaper production. 1t is
the one universal SAVIOR common to-
savage and civilized men. Perhaps the.
failure Of the Salt Trust to getits shares
taken may be accounted for by an in-s
nate appreciation of the inhumanity of
such a speculation. Even an Arab,
after he eats salt with a stranger, will
no longer cheat him in horse trade.
Salt is at once the token of hospitality.
and the preserver and cement of friend
ship. To conspire to make salt dear is
a crime. No man would like to be
found dead with Salt Trust certificate
in his pocket.-Philadelphia Record.

RIDING AN ELEPHANT.
Not the Easiest or Safest Thing for a Be.
ginner.

From the Nineteenth Century,
At a word from his mahout"-a
wild-looking creature who sits between
the elephants ears and pricks him with
an iron ssaf-he goes down on his
knees, and one climbs on to his back as
bestone can, holding on by his tail with
both hands and trying toget footing
on his slippery quarters. At last one
manage to scramble up, and finds
one self on asquare cushion, almost as
slippery as the elephants back. The
first time, when the great beast rises on
his fore legs, then on his hind ones, it
is all one can do to hold on by the
ropes which are fastened to the sides
of the pad; but practic makes perfect,
and in q short time one learns to adapt
ones self to the curious motion.
A good small elephant will shuttle
along easily at the rate of. five miles an
hour climbing steep ravines and other
distractions, so that the rider often
finds herself hanging on in ain almost
perpendicular position. No animal is so
sure-footed as an elephant. He will
climb steep banks and slide down into
river-beds with as much ease as an Irish
pony, but he particularly objects to a
bog, and let no one attempt to ride
him over one, for if he finds himself
sinking in, his first impulse is to drag
the rider off and put him under his feet,
by way of having something to stand
on-a proceeding one would hardly
approve of.

Mr.. Evarts Got a Reply.
THE American Magazine.

A correspondent who has been read
ing the anecdotes about Senators in our
last number was an eye witness of the
following occurrences:
At New York city, in the fall of 49,,
a case was tried before Judge Souther-
land, in which the law firm Of Evarts,
Southmayd d Choate appeared for the
defense. Mr.. Evarts made the con-
cluding argument, and the fame Of the
great counselor secured for him d con-
siderable audience of lawyers from
eighboring courts, in addition to many
persons who had more or less interest
in the proceedings.
Mr.. Evarts Ead been speaking for
some hours and was evidently nearing
his perora ton. He began to sum up
his arguments, and asked impressively
what answer could be made to them.
Again he placed the points in lucid
array, and again asked a similar ques-
ton. Then third time he restated
his case with vivid eloquence, and once
more, in louder tones, wound up with:
"What is their answer"
He paused. You could have heard Il
pin drop. Suddenly the door of the
court room opened, and a peddler,
sticking his head and Il feather-duster
into the opening, cried out:
"Broomsw
IN moment the room was ringing
with uncomfortable loughter, in which
everybody joined-even the judge on
the bench and the orator himself. Mr..
Evarts, however, kept on his feet, and
was the first to recover conlpt sure.
With his hand raised to command at
tention, as the roar subsidized, he SAID,
solemnly: .
"That was not, indeed, the reply
which expected. But you may rest
assured that when you do get their ans
wer you will find it equally frivolous
and inconsequent."
