Mrs. Vimpany consulted her watch.
On many former occasion she had
learnt what interval of repoSe was reCuir-

For the present she had only to return to
the other room. The waiter presented
himself, asking if there was ANYTHING he
could do for her. Familiar with the de-
fective side of her husbands character. he
understood what it meant when she point

She had two objects in view-to be re-

forcing him to leave the town before he
could communicate has discoveries to Iris.
How to reach these separate ends by one

FASHIONABLE SOCIETY.

The trying ordeals which fashionable soci-
ETY. imposes on its devotees are enough to
severely test the physical strength and en-
durance of the most robust. Irregular and
late hours, over-rich and indigestible food,
late suppers, the fatigue Of the ballroom,
the bad air of the illy-yentilated, over
crowded theatre, are each, in themselves,
sufficient to upset the system and ruin the
health of the delicate and sensitive. Com
bined, they can hardly fail, if persisted in,
to seriously impair the health of the hardi-
est. Ladies generally possess less powers of
endurance than their male consorts, and SO
the sooner succunb TO these deleterious in
fiuences. They become pale, haggard and
debilitated, and constantly experience a
sense Of lassitude that & tired feeling" as
so many express it. The least exertion
fatigues them. Various neuralgia and other
pains harrass and distress the sufferer.
Headache, backache, bearing down SEN
sations, and "female weaknesses follow
and sorely aff1ict the sufferer.

Iris was indignant.
"What has Mrs. Vimpany to do with

to that good creatures kindness: after I
have promised to accompany her-she has

unjustly, so ungratefully suspected her

With some difficulty, Mountjoy con-
trolled himself. After what she had just
said, his lips were sealed on the subject of
Mrs Vimpany's true character, He could
only persist in appealing to her duty to
her father.
''You are allowing your quick temper to

AS he spoke, Mrs. Vimpany Joined them;
returning from her interview with her
husband at the inn. She looked first at
Iris, and at once perceived signs of dis

COncealing her anxiety under that Won

to so many secrets, Mrs. Vimpany said a
few words eXcusing her absence Miss
Henley answered, without the slightest
change in her friendly manner to the doc

evidently attributable to some entirely IN
important cause, from Mrs Vimpany's
point of view. Mr.. Mountjoy's discoveries
had not been communicated yet.
In Hugh's state of mind there was some
irritating influence in the presence of the
mistress of the house which applied the
spur to his wits. He mischievously pro-

Looking out of the drawing-room win

at last saw Iris in the street, returning to

She brought the maid with her into
the drawing-rOom, in the gayeSt of good

good genius and the DOCTORS wife is her

Mountjoys courtesy having offered the
customary congratulations, the maid was
permitted to retire, and Iris was free to
express her establishment at the friendly
relations established (by means of the
dinner-table) between the two most dis
similar men on the face of creation.

she declared, Gin the bare idea of your

THE GHOST OF FORT DoNELsoN.
An Episode in the War of the Rebel
lion,

An Episode in the War of the Rebel
The camp-fres of General Grants army
were lighting up the thick woods Just be-
yond the Tennessee. the gunboats were
hurting up the swollen river, while the
SHOWS and rains of February turned to ice,
and at the close of the first day of the
terrible battle at Fort Donelson the sudden
change of weather brought to the soldiers
agonies of cold and suffering.
The fight lasted three long days. Shot
and shell were pouring into the Tennessee
river. the gunboats driven back with heavy
losses, but Grants fearless men kept up
the siege until the fort surrendered. After
the victory the whole North was eXultant.
The bells rang joyfully and cannon shook
the New England cities and towns, but,
frozen and dying, hundreds lay on the red
snow Of the battlefield.
Mother Bickerdyke, the famous Union
nurse, had followed her 'boys southwark,
had blessed them as they went out in the
morning to battle, made them barrels of
good government coffee and as well as
possible without houses or hospitals, pre-
pared for their return. This was her first
sight Of the battlefield and she told me
none afterward so overcame her.
After the wounded had been cared for
with all the small comforts she had and the
| exhausted officers had fallen asleep some
body noticed bright light moving quickly
over the dark, deserted field, where the
dead were still lying, awaiting burial when
| it should be light.
One officer after another looked out and
word passed down the line. go and see
what it is. General Grant himself,
wrapped in lis blanket, stood outside his
tent, while his orderly followed the ghost
| across the snow and the terrified men hud-
died close together over the camp-ires
whispering that 1.-The spirits were walking
about. Nobody spoke aloud. The bitter
wind whistled across the broken fences
and through the icy rafting branches of
trees as the orderly returned.
'Well, said he to the General, 1T IS
only Mother Bickerdyke, sir, with her big
| lantern; here she comes.
General Grant touched her on the shoulder
as she came up and asked In a low voice:
| ''Is anything wrong, mother?
"Oh, nor she replied; "but you see,
General, after | got the poor fellow bound
up, and full of warm broth and coffee, |
couldn't, some way, feel satisfied till

body was lying out there in the cold and
dark. alone and alive, this awful night;
so I've Just looked EN- all over and made
sure-but they are dead, quite dead, poor
boysr'
She swung her lantern bravely along to-
ward her row of tents, while General
Grant worn and haggard. wrapped his
blanket about him and said to a staff of
fcer close by: $50 that s the ghost! ! wish

which drew one-fortieth of the grand capital
prize of 100000 in the December drawing.
Mr. Cole is a remarkably lucky man, for he
seems to have known just where and when
to invest a dollar where it would do the most
good. After learning of his good fortune,
Mr. Cole sent his ticket to New Orleans by
express, where it was cashed in full by the
bank and the money returned to him in a re-
markably short time, thus demonstrating the
fact that The Louisiana State Lottery Com
pany is as reliable as ever, and never makes
a promise but what is carried out to the
letter.
Mr.. Cole, as stated above, was a poor man,
having been working for the small sum of

has not turned his head, and he proposes to
use his means in the effort to better his con-
dition for the remainder of his life.-Saqa
