DIR. Quin-mainly because of the jeaI-
GUS pain he suffered at the knowledge of
his being so welcomed by Gladys Matt
land when he saw fit to visit the ranch;
and this pain gnawed all the more an
grily now. at thought of the embar-
rassing-even uspicious-situation in
which that very man had found him on
the previous evening. Pressing duties
and hurried preparations kept him from
brooding too much upon these sore
points. but the youngsters all rallied
him upon his preoccupation while at
their merry breakfast table. He had re-
solved that there was one thing he could
and would bring to an issue with DR..
Quin, and was all impotence for the
coming of evening, that he might hear
from the lips of Capt Lawrence the act
ual stories that had been in circulation
concerning Dunraven Ranch. He never
went out to hunt so utterly Indifferent
to the fortunes Of the day, so eager to
have it all over and done with And
yet-and yet-never had there opened
to him day so radiant with glorious
possibility; never before in all his young
life had nightfall proved so unwelcome
when it finally came.
The first rabbit was started before they
werea mile from Rossiter, and the hounds
tumbled over him nearly league away
down the valley of the Monee. 1t was
while they were watering their horses in
the stream that Mrs. Belknap rode up be-
side them and laughingly addressed Mrs.
Lawrence:
''That was too much of a straight away
for either of us, Mrs. Lawrence; but what
wager shall we have on the first mask
after this?"
"Why, Mrs. Belknapi lean never hops
to rival you 1t was mere accident anu
good guiding on the part of some of the
officers who were kind enough to stay by
me, that enabled Inc to be in at the death
the other day."
''You have Mr.. Perry to lead you today.
Surely with such a guide you ought to be
inspired. Am to see anything of you
today?' she almost whispered to him. as
her stirrup brushed his riding boot.
''Certainly," he answered, quietly, and
looking her over with frank blue eyes
that were rather too clear and calm for
her mood. IF Mrs. Lawrence will ex-
cuse me few moments by and by, it
will be pleasure to come and ride with
you. I'll ask her.
Indeed you shall not, was the low
toned reply, while the dark eyes fairly
snapped with indignation. II do not
borrow other women's escort. If you
know no other way that ends it. -
And then Mrs. Sprague's CHEEKY voice
had hailed them as her eager horse came
splashing into the stream; no opportunity
occurred for further impressive remarks,
but as the ''feld" rode out upon the
prairie again and the dogs spread their
yelping skirmish line along the front,
Mrs. Belknap felt confident that before
they returned to Rossiter she would have
her big, simple hearted admirer in some
shape for discipline. Two capital runs
added to her self satisfaction, for in one
of them she was side by side with the
foremost rider at the finish. and in both
she had left the other women far in rear.
Then came third, and with it revela-
ton to one and all

The Work of Enumernting In Progress
and Superintendent Porter Anticipates
Early and Complete Returns. Notwith-
standing Some slight Opposition to
Portion Of the Questions Proponnded.
WAsHTNeToN, June 2-The machin-
cry for taking the census for 1890 will
be put in motion to-day all over the
United States, and IL will be pushed as
expeditiously as possible. Superin-
tendent Porter anticipates early returns
10 his Office that the work OF tabulating
can be entered upon and completed with
in a reasonable period. The prelimi-
nary matters have been arranged,
blanks prepared, euumerators instruct
ed as to their duties. and all that re-
mains TO be done is to collect the data
which 1t has been decided shall become
a part OF the census IL requires 43, 600
men as enumerators to gather the requi-
site information, and each Of these is
either employed in a definite locality
or upon some special topic. This, how
ever, does not include tho additional
thousands Of clerks employed in collect
ing and tabulatiDg the returns made
that will come back from all over tho
country as the result OF tho labors OF
the enumerators; so it can be seen at a
glance what corps OF men 1t requires,
and what an immense sum OF money
must be expended 10 accomplish this
undertaking.
Mr.. Porter has accepted and confirmed
the supervisors selections OF enumera-
tors, except in a few instances, where
the fitness OF the appointees was ques-
toned, and it being shown that they
were incompetent others were substi-
tuted. In the South. in some places,
objection was made to the appointment
of colored men. but the supervisors be-
ing held responsible for their men he
concluded TO trust to their discretion,
and declined to interfere upon that
ground. 1t is known. however thatap-
pointments of this kind are few, and
even In the case OF colored supervisor
nearly all the enumerators designated
by him are white men.
It is not anticipated that much trouble
will be experienced in obtaining an
swers TO the questions that are to be
propounded, but where refusals are mot
with they viii be at once reported. and
steps taken to enforce the law. The su-
perintendent is not otgiven any discretion
in the matter, but it is made obligatory
upon him to report each and every per-
son who fails to comply with the re-
quirements OF the law to the proper per-
sons who will institute vigorous pros
ecution against the violators OF 1t, and
they become liable to a fine of 500.

LIxcoLS, Neb.. June 2.-The procla-
nation OF Governor Thayer, resembling
his call for special session OF the
Legislature, was issued Saturday and
made public yesterday. The Governor
gives as his reason the doubt existing
as to the constitutionality OF laws
which might be passed by the body.
Added to this is the fact that many va
cancies exist, and the time is too short
for special elections to fill the same.
The proclamation meets with general
approval.

swamp Land Litigation.

JACKSON, May 27.-The case OF Ford
Il Levy vs. the Delta & Pine Land Com
pany was argued to-day in the Federal
Court on demurrer to supplemental bill.
Counsel argued the Swamp Land act OF
February IL, 1890, In all its phases.
Messrs. Ford & Levy, complainants,
asserted-their rights now to the benefits
of the new title, which they claim by
virtue of tender to the Swamp Land
Commissioner.
The court dismissed the bill without
prejudice to complainants as being I'M
properly filed in this suit, Judge hill
stating that the Swamp Land act OF
1890 had no proper place in the htiga-
tion going on. The complainants' attor-
neys say they will apply to the United
States Court for mandamus to compel
the issuance Of patent to them.
All the proof in the case was filed to-
day, and the case will be argued on its
merits at Oxford at the June term.
This is one of the most important
cases ever instituted in the State. While
il directly involves about $4,000 acres
Of lands situated in the Yazoo-Missis-
sippi-Delta, complainants claim that It
indirectly involves the titles Of about
1000, 900 acres of lands.
The suit in which the proof is sub
mitted to-day involves 10000 acres.
There IS a similar case at Oxford against
the Louisville, New Orleans & Texas
Railway Company, involving l25,OOO
acres.
The case will undoubtedly go TO the
Supreme Court Of the United States for
final adjudication.

A NOVEL PROPOSITION.

The Mississippi constitutional CON
vention is looking into bold scheme to
got rid OF the negro population in n
lump. The scheme is nothing less than
empowering the legislature to set off,
with the consent of Congress, any sec
tion of the State and erect it into "a ter
ritory by itself. This is certainly novel
and from it's novelty almost certain to
meet disapproval.
The delegates from the black counties
look upon the proposition as an intima-
ton that at some time the white coun-
ties may attempt to sccedc and leave
them alone to struggle with the dusky
problem.
Tho power Of secession, of division, or
OF in any way changing the continuity
and completeness of any State, is so
completely bound up and tied by consti-
tutional limitations that no American
State, with the possible exceptions of
Texas and Florida, will ever be shorn of
It's present proportions. Mississippi will
have to settle tho negro question by a
different method.
