NILE. DEsTAIN DID NOT RAISE HER EYES.
but the watchful lady noticed that the
slender fingers trembled.
''How different 1t was when your
mother was married in the Church of
Notre Dame," she continued, IN tone
Of lively retrospection. "All Paris
stood expectant, as If 1t were q royal
marriage, and veil it might, for the
Dauphtn himself gave the bride away,
and the Duke de Rohan was q grooms-
man, and our gracious Queen sent
vail Of lace sprinkled with diamonds"
The embroidery had fallen into
Ninon's lap.
81 remember it all as it were but
yesterday" she pursued, raising her
handkerchief to her face, the better to
observe the effect of her words, ''for
I was one of fifty bridemaids Of the
noble houses of France. And oh! how
radiant and happy your mother looked
standing there before the altar beside
her gallant husband! He was in the
uniform of the Royal Guards. His face
had the stern beauty of Mars, and the
bold, heroic air Of one whose honor was
spotless as his sword blade"
Nine. Chevreul stopped abruptly. She
had noticed slight heaving Of her
listeners bosom and the firm pressure
OF her lips. but was not prepared for
the torrent Of hysterical sobs and tears
which suddenly broke forth like a
storm-hooded mountain stream
Although somewhat frightened, Nine.
Chevreul was also elated at the success
Of her scheme, being now convinced that
the proposed alliance was distasteful to
her niece as it was odious to herself
She therefore set to work to assuage the
torrent and also to suggest some scheme
by which the sacrifice might be averted
without wounding the sensitive pride Of
Mile. Destain.
When Lemourier called that evening
to see his hances and press the necessity
OF their immediate union, he was re-
ceived by Nine. Cheveul, who informed
him that the young lady was indisposed,
and also that in the families Of the no.
blesse of France the arrangements were
made by the relatives and not by the high
contracting parties themselves.
Being by nature bully, Lemourier
chafed at this repulse, but ''the divinity
that doth hedge king" or. in other
words, the serenely naughty air Of the
noble lady and the scornful ring in her
courteous speech smote upon his craven
heart like the lash on the back of q cur,
and he was fain to beat retreat, al
tho agh, like ancient Pistol, he swore to

Germany sacrificed great deal
in Africa, but evidently considers
that adequate recompense was
secured by the acquisition of
Helig9land. The Emperor Wills
lam Is credited with the intention
to fortify heisland, 50 as to make
it Germany's Gibraltar. This is
not encouraging to those who
look upon general disarmament
as the only surety of Earopean
ppacs. 1t will, however, serve
to give additional protection to
Germany, thereby lessening the
possibility OF attack from her RI
walls, while it will have tendency
to develop the aggressive DISPOSE
ton of the young Emperor. The
wisdom of Germany's operations
IN Africa, by which much territc-
ry was secured to be exchanged
for Heligoland, is now very ap-
parent.

According to English vital sta
tistlcs, more men than women die
annually. Other statistics assure
us that more females than males
are born. That ought TO encour-
age the woman's rights advocates.
In the natural course Of events
the men must wholly disappear,
leaving the female sex in exclu-
sive possession of the EARTH. If
tie women will only patiently
bide their time they will be able
TO have everything all their own
way without trouble.

in any Of these states on account Of tho
passage Of the so-called force bill or any
other. There Il no hint that IN any Of these
states # win give .domination'' to any
party or class that Il not now dominant
But We are soiemnIy assured that In the
South this law for federal supervision Of
the election OF congressman and prssiden-
tialelectors-noti In any way interfering with
local control in the choice of state or locsl
ofiicers-will establish s'neero domination. -
Many Of the states have . separate election
for state officers. legislature and for county
and township officers. and eli may estab-
iish that practice. and make such regula-
tons Is they see at in relation thereto.
But In connection with the conduct Of
strictly federal elections--the choice OF
congressman and electors--the whole coun-
try has common interest In free ballot
and . fair count, and each district has q
right to insist that this rule shall be OBJ
served in every district. The admission
that this win lead TO the dominance Of me-
groes where they would not otherwise do
80. Is an open confession that they need
the protection which this Law would afford
them In the exercise Of . constitutional
right. Then II becomes simple question
whether the congress of the United States
Is to be frightened out Of the protection OF
great body Of American citizens in the
exercise OF their constitutional rights, even
by threat of Southern boycott, coupled
with . certainty that the threat will be
made good.
This resolves the matter into very SIM
pie question, . strictly mercenary question:
Is congress ready 70 sell the suffrage rights
OF millions Of American citizens in ex-
change for the trade patronage of certain
Southern hotheads. who virtually concede
that commercial intercourse with them
must be contingent on the right OF the mi
nority to dominate" the majority in con-
nection with federal electionsf This Is
their self-confessed position. and there is
no honest or Straightforward escape from

Seals AND EooD FISH.


The report made by Senator Hoar from
the Senate Committee on Relations with
Canada, which was presented on the 2ist
instant. contained vast amount of inter-
esting information, including some testi-
mony which cannot but be OF interest TO all
who are connected with the fisheries inter-
ests Of the Pacific coast, which. in the judg-
ment Of many astute statesmen. Mr.. Blaine
among others. is Of much present and is
destined to be Of immense and eyer-groW-
ing Importance.
By well-informed gentlemen. who are
connected with fisheries interests on this
coast. and by others who have studied the
question closely, the opinion was seriously
advanced that in broad commercial view,
paying due regard TO the growing demand
and iessening supply Of food fish through
ont the world. the determination Of the
seals would be blessing 10 the world and
. matter Of enormous profit to the COM
mercs Of the north Pacific coast
One Northwestern fisherman Of large ex-
periencs and extensive dealings made The
startling statement that In his judgment
tho maintenance OF the present seal
supply involved the destruction OF forty
million pounds of food fish per day to feed
them. This may or may not Be an exagger-
ased statement. but Il is notorious that the
protection Of few sea lions for exhibition
purposes as the Cliff house, near San Fran
cisco, has almost created famine in food
fish in those waters. and Il Is the uniform
testimony OF the California fishermen that
IL must soon become question Of giving
up the one or the other. the seals or the
food fish. and in time, Of course. depletion
In food 1sh supplies would compel the seals
TO seek other quarters.
Under favorable conditions. with intelli.
