AUGUSTUS FIRST LOVE.


a Romantic STORY Conserving the Late
Dowager-Empress.
A member o. the suite OF one Of the
best-known among the German Prin-
cesses tells romantic story concerning
the dead Empress Augusta, and IL is be-
lieved that 1t has never been given to
the public.
Augusta was Princess in the petty
court of Weimar, whore she was hedged
about with all the tight-lacod etiquette
the small German principalities af-
fected. When she was seventeen she
was q romantic girl and had learned by
heart the stories of the previous half
centurys gallantries at the court Of
Louis Quatorze, and so well had she
read that she was prepared to fall in
love with any man who might first ap-
peal to her sense OF beauty.
A young French noble stopped at the
court OF Weimar In the progress of n
pleasure jaunt from Auverne. lie re-
mained for some weeks at the palace and
became a favorite OF the Duke. At a
court ball shortly following his arrival,
the Frenchman met the Princess. They
indulged in mutual love at first sight
This love soon developed into indiscre-
tion, which took the form of secret meet
ings in the palace grounds.
The only people aware Of these trysts
were the maid and valet of the prin-
cipals, who served as the medium
through which the correspondence was
carried and the meetings arranged. The
maid lost one of the letters intrusted to
her, and 1t was picked up by the
Duchess, mother TO Augusta. The let
ter was impassioned and eloquent, burn
ing with love OF the smitten Parisian,
and filled with all those pretty words
that came in with the grand monargue.
The letter implored an elopement and
pictured the ideal life Of love on the
pastoral lands OF the new America.
The Duke and the Duchess were con-
sumed with rage at the discovery. So
high did feeling run In the court that
the ducal Chamberlain challenged the
Frenchman to duel, and the lover fell
mortally wounded. As he fell the
Frenchman tore open his tunic, and
there, pressed against his heart, was a
handkerchief belonging to the Princess.
Toward it his hand feebly moved, but
he died at the moment he had seized the
lace, and was struggling to carry 1t TO
his lips. The Duchess was SO affected
by the incident that she silently placed
the handkerchief on the breast OF the
young man as he lay in the coffin, and it
was buried with him. His body was
covered with roses strewn upon him by
the devoted Augusta.
For weeks the Princess moped about
the palace until her parents were con-
vinced that her sorrow must have some
relief or she would become insane.
They suggested marriage with Prince
William Of Prussia, and the Princess
gave her indifferent consent careless
and thoughtless of what might become
OF her With William it was a matter
OF equal Importance, for he had first
been crossed in q love affair, and he was
heartbroken as well. There was no
between them on the
subject OF their marriage. The Em- |
press always preferred French books,
IDEAS, dress, sentiment and 1t was her
Iavorite language. Cor. Phil

AN HOUR OF HORROR.

Midnight Murd.r whose Perpetrator
Was Never brought to Justice.
1t was close upon. the hour OF mid
night
A man sat alone in an upper chamber
Of tumble-down tenement; man
whose face showed by its furrowed brow,
glaring eyes and pallid lips the effects OF
terrible mental struggle going on
within him.
BEFORE him were several pages OF
manuscript, and his nerveless hand,
convulsively clutching pen, was rap
idly adding to them.
Close to his right hand, and frequent
ly touched by 1t as he piled his pen, was a
cleaning, glittering object of ivory, sill
yer and steel-a loaded revolver.
The window beside him was open, and
through 1t the night breeze entered and
famed his hot brow. The night with
out was calm and placid. Nature was
lovely, bathed in the light OF summer
moon; but the man was oblivious to the
beauties of the night. lie glanced at
the clock now and then, and, observing
the long hand climbing up the incline
toward tho figure 1s, he redoubled his
labor at the manuscript
Anon he glances at the revolver on the
desk beside him. He touches its ivory
handle, as II faltering in his resolution;
and then he continues his writing.
Hark!
What sound is that that is borne on
the breeze Of the summer night? A
long, low wall, like the cry Of woman
In mortal anguish.
The man starts like guilty soul,
dashes the dews Of perspiration from
his clammy brow, and utters an inco-
herent exclamation.
Again-again, that moaning, uncany
cry.
The man hears 1t and grCans aloud.
He dashes aside the last page of his
and glances again at the
clock. The hands mark the hour OF |
midnight lie grasps the revolver, and
with a resolute air he exclaims: at
must be done"
Going to the window he fires
There was scampering sound in the
yard beneath. and next morning gray
cat was found dead close to the wood
shed. The night police reporter had
fulfilled his mission.-America.

THE MULE KICKED.

That Is Why Headiess Chickens Were
Picked Up in virginia.
There has been considerable gold
found recently several miles north OF
the District line, and several shafts
have been sunk on various properties,
all OF which, TO use the usual language
OF the boom, exceed the most sanguina
expectations OF the promoters" Several
farmers out near the scat of distur bance
have been earning considerable money
hauling ore from the shaft TO Senator
Sawyer's stamp mill few miles away.
The shafts are sunk and the ore extract
ed by the usual methods of drilling and
blasting. For the latter purpose nitro
glycerine is used. Ono OF the teamsters
put several empty nitro-glycorine cans
in his cart and took thom to his home,
near Takoma Park, intending 10 clean
them up and make pals OF them. lilo set
them down in tho barn-yard while he
was putting up the mules. A half-grown
hog saw the cans, walked up and
nuzzled them around. About a gill OF
the stuff had collected in tho bottom of
each, and tho pig licked itdown. 1t has
0 sweet flavor and Is medicinal Then
the farmer came out, picked up the cans
and took them back into the house.
The pig chewed up . stray ear OF corn,
q dead rat, some oorn-husks and two or
three other delicacies and ambled into
the barn. Perhaps nothing would have
happened II the raxor-baclx had been
gifted with ordinary intelligence, but
what would possess him under the cir
oumstances to 60 and scratch his back
against the post of the off-mule's stall Is
past understanding. Now, mules arc
only human; they are not exempt from.
or above, the foibles Of mankind. When
things 60 wrong with them they mako
''hee-aw! hee-aw! hee-aw!" and then
kick like a Queen Ammo musket So
when the off-mule looked around and
saw the pig scratching his back 81 inches
from his heels, he Strengthened his neck,
closed his eyes in brief and silent prayer,
swung his sinister limb over his shoul-
der, and then struck out like Kelly at
the bat The pig described beautiful
parabola. screaming all the time like q
shroo-huhuroo-Pouhu shoii irom one oI
Admiral Porter's mortars. sailed out
through the barn doors on fat ira
jectory and struck on top of the hem

Then came clap Of thunder sound;
the pig, oh, where was he? Ask OF tho
winds which whistled around tho
heayens and the sea. The nitro-gly-
cerine had exploded, staying pig. hem

Ballyhsck. There hasn't piece OF
that pig been found big enough to hold
an inquest on, nor piece of hen-house
big enough for hen to pick her teeth
on, and colored man was arrested the
other day for having in bag some head
less chickens which he confesses he
picked up over in Virginia. Washing

Ouray, purchased the stuff which was
shoveled from the bottom OF the cave

terest was awakened by the discovery,
though one or two claims had been held
for three or four years by parties who
thought there was gold in tho veins, but
were not nearly enough convinced TO
develop the same. Finally prospectors
began to go over and look ut the
Rock OF Ages, and some Of them
at once said they knew where there was
other caves on the east side Of the
gulch. which led to tho discovery OF q
Of rich and extensive deposits.

entirely new in Colorado. The ground
on the north side Of the Uncompahgre
has been run over for years by pros
pcctors who were looking after fissure
veins. Finding little encouragementto 10

there, that portion Of the district was
abandoned. A few localities,
however, were maintained by annual
assessments, but without any knowledge

PILING UP THE BALES.
SAVANNAH ovERroPs ALL TIE
PORTS IN COTTON RECEIPTS.

1881 Bales Yesterdays Record
The Record of a Year Ago Beaten by
Nearly 5000 Bales-Over One-fourth
of Yesterdays Total Movement
Comes to Savannah-New Orleans
Beaten 1889 Bales and Galveston
2,52e Bales.
Savannah's cotton receipts reached II, 53l
bales yesterday. The figures we're posted at
the cotton exchange at noon. There was a
buzz on the exchange floor when they went
up on the board showing that Savannah had
beaten her biggest previous record, that of
Monday, Oct. z, 1889, by 2.92S bales.
1t is a singular coincidence that the
highest receipts previous to yesterday were
on the corresponding day OF the week
year ago, when they were 14,603 bales.
The previous Mondays receipts were "A, 42l
bales, DO bales short Of the previous year.
THE EXCITEMENT AT THE EXCHANGE.
The excitement could hardly have been
greater among the crowd which witnessed
the great race between Tenny aud
Salvador, than was exhibited among
the members on the floor Of the exchange
yesterday as the reports we're posted OF the
receipts at the various ports. Galvestons
come in with Is, 900 bales, followed by Nor
lOlk Win O,O1l DAl6S anu W WIN
2,69S bales, Charleston 5000 bales, Mobile
2.497 bales, and at the last New Orleans
with Is 592 bales. just 1889 bales be-
hind Savannah. A cheer went up
when 1T was ssen that Savannah
had outstripped them all, and that out Of
the total receipts at all ports Of 81, Us bales
she had actually received more than one
fourth of the total for the day.
CLIMBING TOWARD MILLION BALES.
Yesterday will go on record as a red-letter
day ia the annals of the cotton
trade of Savannah. 1t would seem
from the receipts that Savannah
will, beyond question, reach the million
bale point long before the end Of the sea-
son. The Central railroad was not forgot
ten when it was found that her contribution
to the days receipts was over $4,000 bales
The question was asked: "What is the matter
with Charleston, why is it that ships booked
for that port are coming here for oargoT
There is a rumor that the ship brokers of
Charleston had an unhealthy experience last
month with the vessels which they had
booked, and some of them lost money. 1t
was said that two Of the leading brokers
were crippled by their operations. Some
of the tonnage chartered by Charleston has
been thrown on Savannah, notably the
British steamship Snilesworth which ar
rived SUNDAY TO load here.
