Harry Winthrop seiZeu ms fathcr's hand Ihcrc was the same gi;;d, trustful look ID his face the old man had missed for many a day, and his heart thrilled with joy to think hat ct last there was no barrier bctwcan ''im and his boy Harry.
 1t was a very quiet wedding, for tho Cap tain insisted on it's taking place at once in New York, as he argued that it would be awkward for Kate to go back to tie Orchard farln as D visitor; and you may be sure Harry offered no obstacoes to his arrange ments, though l am free to confess Kate made blushing objection to the hurried ceremony, which was so transpalently in- sincere that 1t did not delay it an hour. Then the Captain sent the young couple off for weeks trip to the seaside, andetarted home to tell Martha how effcctually he had stopped those bothersome letters. <
 There were grand doings at the Orchard Farm. From far and near the guests had come by boat and carriage; under the big apple trees long lines of tables were spread with snowy cloths and laden with tho choic- est vianda; on the lawn the village band played, making up in energy what they lacked in science; and from the flag pole on the summer-housc yards of gay bunting 1!uttercd i'll the gentle breeze. For on this day Harry Winthrop was bringing homo his bride.
 But question if all the bright speeches and all the gay music were half as sweet to his father as the hidcous screams of the steam-whistles from the passing vessels with which his brother captains Saluted their happy old comrade.
 And Kate, as she hangs on her husbands arm and gazes on the fair scene, whispers: "Thc wounds are healed at last, Harry, and for all the long years to come there shall Do ill our lives no North and no South"
 But Daniel Winthrop's mind was not just now devoted to the glories of steam-whis- ties. He stood with his hand on his boys shoulder, watching the gay scene around him; but suddenly his gaze concentrated on four figures grouped on tho lawn-his wifc and his sons wife, Walter Frobisham and Gordon Grey, and he said:
 'Thc dead past is burying it's dead pretty fast, boy. I did not think could be ever so grateful to God as I am this moment to sec tho blue and the gray blended in such a union Bay, Harry, WIG must do something for that fine young fellow, your brother-ln- lava few thousands would be mighty help to him to start in his new profession Yes, would like to do something for him for kate's sake, tor the best gift your fa- thcr eyer made you was tho chance to bring thut brave girl home as your wife,
 X glad light leaped to tho young mans face-a radiant look that gladdcned the fa- thcr's eye to behold-and, with a laugh that but half concealed his earnestness he re- piled in the words of the greatest of all writers:
 She is mine own
 And as rich in having such . jewel,
 AS twenty seas, if all their sands wore pearls, The water nectar and tho rocks pure gold.''

Celebrated Feats Whose Performance I4
 Indeed & Mystery.
 Indian jugglers arc famous not only for their tricks, but for the apparent ease and openness with which they perform them Dr. Norman Macleod describes his own futile attempts to discover how ono of their most celebrated feats was accomplished:
 Through one Of my friends, I asked for tho wcll-linown Mango trick. am told that many intelligent young men profess to know how the trick is done, but whenever made inquiries have found, to my regret, that at that moment they have always forgotten the secret.
 While the tomtom was beating and the pipe playing, the juggler, singing all the time i'll low accents, smoOthed a place in the gravel three or four yards before us Hay ing thus prepared bed for the plant to grow in, he took basket and placed it over the prepared place, covering it with a thin blanket. The man himself did not wear d thread of clothing except q strip round the loins.
 The time seemed now to have come for tho detectives eye! So, just as he was be- coming more earnest in his song. and while tho tom-tom beat and the pipe shrillcd moro loudly, stepped forward, with becoming dignity, and begged him to bring the basket and it's cover to nc.
 He cheerfully complied. and carefully examined tho basket, which was made of open wicker rwork. I then examined the cloth covering, which was thin, almost transparent, and certainly had nothing con- cealed in it.
 Then l fixed my eyes on his strip of clothing with such intentness that it was not possible it could bc touched without discovery, and bade him go on, feeling sure that the trick could not succeed
 Sitting down he stretched his naked arms under the basket, singing and smiling as he did so, then lifted the basket off the ground, and behold a green plant about |. foot high!
 Satisfied with our applause, he went on with his incantations. After having sat a little, to give his plant time to grow, he again lifted the basket, and the plant was now two feet high.
 He asked us to wait awhile, that we might taste the fruit! But being assured by those who had seen the trick performed before that this result would be attained, confessed myself "donc" without the slightest notion of the how. I examined the ground, and found it smooth and un- turned.
 Apparently delighted with my surprise, the juggler stood up laughing, when one of his companions chucked a pebble at him, which he put in his mouth. Immediately the same companion, walking backward, drew forth cord of silk, twenty yards or so in length, after which the juggler, with his hands behind him, drew forth from his mouth two decanter stoppers, two shells, 8 spinning top, stone, and several other things, followed by long jet of fire.

 The friends with whom intended to sail meet me at the pier, and ali is we'll so far. There is an eager tread of passengers, a business air in the movements of the crew, rattling of chains, settling here and there, and the good ship Lady Clare weighs anchor and we are on our voyage.
 The starting gives me a feeling of cour- age that 1 never dreamed of, and stoutly resolve that, come what may, Heather leigh's mysteries will not intimidatc me- No; will walk undaunted in it's uncanny shadows, and hold converse, if necessary, with its spiritual occupants. And more than all else, I should doubtless find some who would and could be only too glad to give mo the history of the hall and recount to me ill detail the sad, tragic story of Miriam.

MONTANA'S new RULER
The Appointment OfB. +. White,
of Dillon, Will Probably BE
Made To-day.
All the Other Candidates Withdraw
and He Is Unanimously
Agreed Upon.
Senator Henderson Entrusted With
the Selection OF Public
Printer.

ST. PAUL, March ga special to the
Pioneer Press says: The Montana CUB
ernatorial question is about settled, and
to-day the president will probably send
to the senate the name of b. F. White, of
Dillon. Mont, to be governor in the
place of Leslie, resigned. 1t looked at
one time as if there would be good
deal of disagreement over the matter.
Russell Harrison desired the appoint
ment of McCutcheon, while Delegate
Carter was equally anxious for the
appointment of L. s. Hershfield, of
Helena. Capt. Cole, speaker of the
last house of the Montana legislature,
was spoken of as a compromise candi-
date, and it looked once as if he would
be appointed. Some objection arose,
however, and yesterday Hershfeld de-
clined absolutely to allow his name to be
used, and McCutcheon and Cole with
drew Internationally from the race. 1t
was then decided that the name of
White should be submitted to the presi-
dent, and this was done. 1t is believed
that the appointment will be generally
satisfactory. The selection of secre-
tary has not been made, but it will be
decided upon before the senate adjourns.

THE coNseRyA a WRECK.
An Unknown Steamer sunk-Belieyed

An Unknown steamer Sunk-Believed to
BE Hypolite's New Man-of-war.
NEW YORK, March 26.-The steamer
Colorado, from Galveston which arrived
here Sunday reports having on Saturday
morning, when 104 miles south of New
York, sighted and picked up life-raft
on which were the dead bodies of two
men. A large quantity Of wreckage
was sighted in the same locality and it
is believed that some steamer went to
pieces in the storm on Wednesday.
Among the wreckage were extension
tables, q lounge and six newly painted
cabin doors, but nothing was discovered
to indicate the name of the unfortunate
vessel. 1t is feared that the lost steamer
was the Conserva, formerly known as
The Madrid, which was fitted out here by
the Dominican government and which
sailed from Brooklyn last Tuesday,
bound nominally for SANTANA. Her
crew, with the exception of the officers,
were nearly all West Indians or Malays.
She had "a men aboard, all of whom
were picked up hastily in this city just
previous to her departure. The storm
of Wednesday may have driven her in
the direction of Cape Henry. She car
ried four life boats and a small steam
launch, and if it proves that she was
wrecked there is still hope that the ma
jority of her officers and crew got of
safely in the boats.
The British steamer Marlborough,
which arrived from st. Kits Sunday,
reports having passed on March 90, q
steamer with her machinery disabled. A
British steamer was standing by the
disabled vessel. The latter's hull was
painted dark red with white stripe at
the plank shear. The crew of the Fam
borough say the disabled steamer resem-
bled the Clyde line steamer Saginaw,

There is probability that the inhabi-
tants of America during the next GEN.
fury will be able to go from New York
to London by rail. 1t is not to be ex-
pected that any one viii go this route to
save time, for he will be obliged in trav-
ersing it to go westward. and thence
around the globe; but it would give the
traveller an opportunity to visit many
foreign countries. and literally to see the
world. An ocean steamer has already
made more than 500 miles in one day,
and the Atlanric,is now traversed in six
days, while the proposed trip around the
world would require perhaps double or
triple this time; but the novelty of the
trip would be something remarkable.
