The bull fight is the latest Partisan
fad, but there is small prospect that
this Spanish diversion will retain its
popularity in the French capital. 1t
takes long training to bring any people
to appreciate this brutal sport. The
French have no relish for brutality,
md brutality is as vital a part of a
bull fight as of prize-ring contest,
and the esthetic Parisians cannot elimi-
nate it,

The spread of the demand on the
part of the workingmen for shorter
hours of labor is bringing some Curl
GUS facts to light, observes the San
Francisco Chronicle. Among those
protesting against long and poorly
paid hours of work are the gravedig-
gers Of Paris. They are officially en-
ployed by the city and number 1875.
Ten hours day is their average labor,
and they are liable to be called up at
any time of the night.

The New York Sun says that when

cured BY maidstone or anything else.
But Pasteur's discovery that the in

will indefinitely check the onset Of
fatal rabies is boon to thousands.
Already the average mortality in
France in cases Of persons bitten by
mad dogs has been lowered from fif-

The Arkansaw Traveller concludes
that "Insanity and suicide are rapidly
increasing in the United States. In
sanity is largely confined to the rich,
while the poor, as Boston thinker ex-
presses it, have the bulge on suicide.
In extreme affiuence and in extreme
poverty lie our greatest ills. The in
termediate state alone, promises hap
piness; but unfortunately to most
people, this intermediate state is like
three drinks to the toper-promises
greater happiness for continued indul-
gence."

CHAPTER 1.
IN THE DEATH CHAMBER.

What endless hours-and the NIGHT
only just begun
Within the house reigned an lomin-
OF. hush; the inmates went to and fro
from room to room with slippered feet
and spoke in whispers. Outside, the
moon, like a disk of frosted silver, sailed
through the March night, glinting upon
lawn and grove, and resting with hal.

ing sea where it washed the coast Of
Devonshire. Such is glimpse of Ivy
Manor on this particular night as the
clock struck eleven.
1t was the tall, old-fashioned clock
that tolled the hour, and then went on
with its doleful refrain:
Forever-never
Never-foreyer.
AS the last tremulous stroke died
away upon the silence, the figure upon
the bed in the south chamber stirred,
an emaciated hand tossed back thu
sheet, and face-the face of q man
grown prematurely gray and haggard-

staring eyes rolled from object to OBJ

not the person they sought, closed, and
the head sank back upon the pillow as
a sigh left the pallid lips.

home, again, murmured the sufferer
"to-morrow's dawn will find me in an

until l have made my peace with
heaven, cleared my soul of the burden
that rests upon it, and revealed the
calling secret that has made my life a
burden to me. / must see Oracle to-
night; | dare not let it go another

In pursuance of his determination,
the dying man stretched forth his hand
toward small table upon which stood
a little bell. AS he was about to touch
it door opened noiselessly, and a
trained nurse entered; queer, ancient
dame who went by the name of Mrs
Hanks. She FASTENED lightly to the
bedside.

Yes--this hour who's in the next
room? ?"
Nobody, sir, just at present"
One glance at the countenance OF
Orrin Clifford would have been suffi-
Gent to assure even an Impractical eye
that Death had set its seal upon him.
Mrs. Hanks started as she noted the
fatal change.
How are you feeling. sir?"
