Pardon me; 1 anl her guardian; I

Lemourier was accustomed to dominate
men, but this lady's high-bred dignity
over-awed him and he retired to the
supper-room with much greater appe-
tite for revenge than for the edibles
spread before him.
A distant view of his fiancee at the
opposite side OF the table added fuel to
his wrath. Her face wore an expression
which he had never seen there before
it was one of serene pleasure. He OBJ
served the vivao1ty with which she re-
sponded to her companions words-the
smiles which wreathed the face which
he had never seen without It's vail of
naughty composure. The eye Of jealous
hatred also perceived in De Barzac the
exultant rival and chief cause of his

him from his path either by 1ntimida-

The young man smiled at the sugges-

to find room for aught else, and he
turned away with light laugh. The

WASHINGTON, June 6.-Opening the
doors Of the Senate Finance Committee
to the importers has had the
effect of bringing down upon the COM
mittes hosts of people interested in the
Tariff bill, who desire to make state
ments. In consequence of the demands
of this class the committee has made no
progress in the consideration Of the
schedules of the bill.
Mr.. Moen, of the firm of Washburn

the committee for q short time, advo-
eating free steel blooms and q revision
of the duty On wire. q reduction on
some grades and an increase on others.
A tremendous pressure 10 being
brought to bear upon the committee to
secure a change in the paragraph fixing
the duty on leaf tobacco, suitable for
cigar wrappers, at So q pound if not
stemmed, and 81. rs pound if stemmed.
The paragraph makes the whole bale of
tobacco in which a single leaf suitable
for wrappers may be found dutiable at
the rates named.
1t is believed that the committee will
report an amendment which, while
affording adequate protection to native
tobacco growers, will at the same time
enable the manufacturers of Havana
cigars in this country to continue their
business, which has grown to great
proportions.

Marden knew by the increasing chilli

tie stars shone undimmed and the
stream showed no mist upon its bosom.
He leaned against q tree, the high
pressure of excitement reacting on his
time. Then he awoke with the con-
seriousness that something was about to
occur. A thin vail interposed itself be-
tween him and the opposite shore;
the fire was growing dim; there was
stir among the Indians; canoes were
being pushed into the water. The time
of action had arrived. He was about
to arouse his companions when he found

MONTREAL.

In the year 1855 this fair city of the
present day was military post around
which had grown up a struggling town,
composed of the families Of mon in the
civil and military service of the French
Government, fur traders and mechanics.
The little oity nesting at the foot of
the hill from which it took its name,
Mount Real, or Kings Mountain, its base
partly enc1roled by the st. Lawrence
river, was very gay place.
The esplanade on the river bank was
usually crowded in daytime by gayly-
dressed officers on horseback and on
foot, soldiers of all grades from the
