Thu, il was that Gretchen became y
fine lady.
The Baron kept his promise 90 he
kind and indulgent to her, and after
their marriage he left the country
without Introducing his lridc to any
one of his friends.
While she was pursuing the course
of studies and of accomplishments
which he marked ont Tor her, he be-
came interested in watching and also
III helping thu gradual unfolding of her
mental powers, which proved to be of
Il high order.

pi1ue and anger mt what had occurred
proved to he one of those which they
say are made III heaven.
After time II noble boy came 10
bless then union, and after few years
a daughter was born to them.
Both children inherited the grace
and comeline-s of their pcaSant-bnrn
mother and the fine intellect and
patriot II bearing OF their father.
In time he returned to his uativ-
land with his wife and children. All
knew Of their romantic story, and
looked forward with curiosity to see
how the lOwly born vie would carry
her honorS: but those Who had eX-
pecicd to b. amused We're instead
taken captive 10y her modest grac' >, and
her sensible answers to the salutations
OF the BarOn's friends.
And when, little later, she was
brought face to face with the fair and
naughty lady who had recalled her
promise to we'd with the man who was
now her husband and the father of her
children, tlutter of pleasure ran
about the Interested throng, as they
saw the Baron ben with courtly def
erencc before FrIulein Anna and say:
LET me present to you my wife, and
at the same time thank You heartily
for allowing me to win SO priceless q
treasure" and then without pausing to
notice the flush offended pride had
brought to the cheeks of the lady thus
addressed, he had bowed again a most
defcrential adieu, and had turned in-
differently away from her to address
another acquaintance who was drawing
near TO be presented TO the Baroness,

Uncle Toms Cabin.
Mrs. Stoves daily life is much the
same as that of any other old lady of her
quiet tastes. She is very fond of taking
long walks when the weather is fine In
the fields and byways on the outskirts
of the city. She wanders around alone
and her slight figure is familiar one
to most of the old residents of Hartford.
A rather funny incident happened as
she was strolling the fields one day last
summer picking flowers. On one of the
low hills lying in the vicinity of Hart
ford's famous cemetery has lived for
over sixty years man by the name of

eightieth year, but is a hearty, we'll

Americans in England.

Americans cannot understand that the
habit, almost universal with our people,
Of wearing costly clothing, OF calling for
luxuries unusual with Europeans except
those of assured fortune), such as fires in
bedrooms, unlimited gas and candles,
great variety of food at every meal, tho
best seats at the theatres, constant cab
bing instead Of walking, etc, causes
them to be looked upon as rich aristOcrats
whose efforts to reduce expenses, and yet
retain all the comforts, must be sternly
frOwned down, as unworthy gentlemen or
ladies. On the other hand, if our people
pay on the guinea scale without muir
muir, they are treated with the yeritable
exaggerated Difference which the low Eng

fortunately, that is the one luxury
so dear to the English ''ciasses'
themselves which our people las rule)
care nothing about. Sometimes this SER
Witty is offensive to Americans.-Olivs

The London Times" Whipped.

It is said that the great state trial in
England, growing out Of the infamous
charges Of the London Times against Mr..
Parnell, will not fall short Of q million
dollars. The result Of the collapse Of the
Times case must permanently damage the
character and influence Of the great news
paper, and Of the tory ministry which has
backed 1t in its assault upon the foremost
Of Irish statesmen. The measure Of the
loss Of consequence and character on the
part Of Mr.. Parnell's assailants Is the
measure Of his gain. Whether the Times
shall choose to acknowledge itself de-
ceived or shall accept the imputation Of
conspiracy now matters very little. 1t
has gone too far to break its fall, and has
probably done q greater service ;Or the
Irish cause by its venom than could have
been accomplished by any English friend
Of Ireland, however powerful. The stsug-
gle Of the Irish people for justice will take
on more hopeful aspect from this time
fOrward.-Pkilddelpkid Record.

WIN CaIlsl tIs Omnibus BIZ

The title "Omnibus Eill," given TO the
measure under which North and South
Dakota, Montana and Washington are
admitted into the Union, was furnished
to designate a compromise act originally
introduced by Henry Clay, which passed
both houses Of congress in 1850. It was
given to it from the circumstance that
several measures entirely distinct in their
object were embodied in one bill. The
most important stipulations Of this act
were those providing for the admission Of
California into the Union, as q state with
its anti-slavery constitution, for the ad-
mission Of Utah and New Mexico as ter
rito,ies, with no mention Of slavery, for
the abolition Of the slave trade in the Dis
trict Of Columbia, and for the rendition
Of fugitive slaves.

Why the Reporter Talked.

NJ. B. Morton, one Of the Age Herald
staff Of reporters, and withal a young gem
tleman brim fullof energy and wide awake
to the duties Of his calliog, was the only
reporter on the ground when the citizens
Of Pratt mines visited their wrath upon
George Meadows, the murderer Of Willie
Kellum. In this connection gentleman
from Pratt mines relates good story ut
the expense Of Mr.. Morton.
1t appears that the enterprising reporter
joined the party when Meadows was fist
brought in from the woods, where he had
been secreted during the night by his
guards. When he found, from the tenn
per Of the crowd, that necktie party was
imminent, he demonstrated with the
leaders and made every effort TO have the
lynching postponed until evening, in
order, as he claimed, that Mrs. Kellum
might be given an opportunity Of seeing
him and giving final decision as to his
identity. So persistently did he prosecute
his endeavors that his actions finally
aroused the opposition Of the crowd, and
in few moments threats against the re-
porter were almost as frequent as those
directed against the prisoner.
While Meadows was standing at the
foot Of the tree and the rope WIS being
passed over the limb the reporter, no
longer able to contain himself, made
last and most eloquent appeal 10 the vast
crowd, beseechins them again and again,
to at least deter the hanging until noon.
Deaf to his every entNeaty, the determined
men about him finally appeared to lose
all patience with the "red-headad son.of-
a-gun," as one Of their number ''sized
him up" A yell to chang him along
with the niggerp was next raised. The
dangling end Of the rope for an instant
was fourished about the devoted head
piece ofthe orator, and he was peremp-
tOrily invited to "shut-up." He accepted
the inevitable and subsided into a quiet
witness to what Immediately followed.
ave all felt mighty bad for awhile
about the way Morton went back on US
and took up for the nigger," remarked
the gentleman in concluding his narrative.
"But we took back all the near things
we said agin' him when we lea nod that
the burned cuss was only talking agin'
time and trying to keep the hanging off
till after the evening papers were out.

whose social accomplishments and per-
sonal attractions placed him far above the
common herds reached the height Of sue
cess. The banking concern was an i'm
mense success and paid big interest to the
few interested, and no very close inquiry
into the condition Of the principal was
made by the stockholders until after two
years one Of the stockholders attempted
to withdraw and met with some opposi-
tion from the founder and president OF
the institution. Money was scarce, the
president told him, and as he was inter
ested for large sum il could not easily
be taken out Of the business. Then Mr..
stOckholder became suspicious and be-
gan row which ended in the defalca-
ton Of the president, and

police were put on the lookout for him,
and as soon as we heard the story we
identified +. B. Beauvoir with this man
Of many aliases. 1t was soon found that
he had lett the city aboard Of yacht, and
he was soon located in the City Of Mexico.
He had kept clear Of women in New Or
leans, but in Mexico be threw OF all re-
serve and appeared in an entirely new
role. The city was agog for some months
about him and his manner Of life, aud
the most tremendous stories were told Of
his orgies and amusements. In 1880 he
hoated a mining concern in the state Of
chihuahua, and soon thereafter was re-
quested by the authorities to leave the
country, aud as Mexico is sometimes
given 10 popular uprisings he evidently
thought discretion the better part Of valor
and filed al appearance in Dosion, under
the name Of f. P. Brown, without any
unnecessary delay. Here he kent very
quiet for some time and goi into the prac-
tice Of law, and showed evident ability,
but the demon Of unrest was in him and

Why the Csast Got kh.

Elliot F. Shepard, editor Of the New
York Nal and EIpress, sends his paper
the following from Washington: Harri-
son stated that he would have been much
pleased to have appointed to his cabinet a
member from the Pacific coast. He early
requested the people Of the Pacific slope
to unite upon two or three names from
which he might select, but they neglected
to do this until quite late. Finally, when
they did present some names, they stated
specifically that no positions would be ac-
cepta5le except the interior department
or at;orney-generalship. Already the Oc-
cupants for these two Offices had been set
tied upon or narrowed down to 4 couple
Of names from other states, and Il was i'm
possible TO accommodate the coast. This
is why the Pacific slope is not represented
in the cabinet, as Harrison had hoped
and expected for some time.

Paid In solid silver.

The London correspondent of the
Sheffield Telegraph hears that orders
have been given at the various Gov
ernment works 10 pay the workmen's
wages in future in silver, so far as an
amount in silver is legal tender
namely, up TO 40 shillings. In some
cases an enormous heap of silver will
be required, for instance, at WOOL
wich, where from G20,0 900 to e25, 900
are paid away weekly. In Birming-
ham the amount is about E1 900. One
explanation is that great inconveni-
ence has hitherto been felt by the men
from having to get gold changed be-
fore they could make their weekly
purchases. The small tradesmen with
whom they deal are often unable to
give change, and too frequently the
only recourse is to the public house,
where, OF course, more or less OF the
sovereign is melted" To remedy
this evil the wages are now to be paid
in silver. Besides this advantage,
however, there undoubtedly is the
further one OF relieving the bank Of
some OF its large overstock OF silver,
and bringing a good deal of gold to
London, where it is more needed.

The Best rirne 20 Battle.

The best time to bathe is just before
going to bed, as any danger of catch
ing cold is thus avoided, and the com
plexion is improved by keeping warm
for several hours after having the bath.
A couple of pounds OF bran put into a
thin bag and then in the bathtub is
excellent for softening the skin. 1t
should be left to soak in a small guam
tity Of water several hours before be-
ing used. The internal aids to a clear
complexion are most OF them we'll
known. The old-iashioned remedy OF
sulphur and molasses is considered
among the best. Charcoal powdered
and taken with water is said to be ex-
cellent, but it is most difficult to take.
A strictly vegetable and fruit diet is
followed by many for one or two
weeks.-London Lancet.
