n. 0. Daily States The infamous manner in
which Republican government officials take
advantage of the power that is given them by
the anti-lottery postal law to prosecute the
Democratic journalists was again manifested

Mr.. George W. Peck, Jr., manager of Peck's

of Wisconsin. published in his paper several
legal opinions to the effect that the anti-lottery
law WAS not constitutional, and the result was

that the American people are beginning to re-

some Of the most rabid Republican organs who

fact that 1t threatens to destroy the freedom of

being manifested IN its enforcement by the
P0stonce Department. Things have come to a
pretty pass indeed, in free America, when an
editor OF newspaper can be jailed for daring
to critlclse or condemn an act of partisan
Congress, which the best legal minds in the
country declare to he yiGlstive of the letter and

y. Q. States: The great interest Which
the prominent citizens OF the sugar belt
are manifesting in the establishment Of
central sugar mills, bodts we'll for the
future welfare of Louisiana and her
great sugar industry which has for so
many years been at the mercy Of the
tariff makers. The establishment of
central factories at convenient points
will reduce the cost Of manufacturing
sugar from the raw juice of the cane, to
such figure that the planters and farm
ers will be placed beyond the reach of
the tariff thinkers, and aside from this
important fact hundreds OF acres of fall
low lands will be brought under cult
walton, and as muscle will be the only
capital necessary for man to engage in
sugar growing, this State will soon at
tract large numbers of thrifty immi-
grants from the Vest who are anxious
to escape the rigors of a Northern eli
mate. Let the good work of erecting
central factories be encouraged. Let
US all point out the fact to capitalists
that these factories are good invest,
ments, and ia the course of few years
the entire southern portion of Louisiana
will blossom like a rose.

FOR TIME.

Oh for time, amid Lfe's rush,
To learn the birds free note;
To list the evenings gentle hush;
To watch fair clouds afioat;
To mark the grace Of flowers and leaves.
With Q sense of all their sweet;
To ken the charms that nature weavee
In the green turf at our feet.
Obi for time for thoughtful heed
OF the good cen we might do,
OF the Joy that comes Of q loving deed,
Or an act that is just or true;
Out Of the night so dark that speeds,
Wherever may be the morn,
On this dear earth, with its charms andneeds,
No other day shall dawn
Oil for time, In the rush and the race,
To turn our feet aside,
The beauty Of earth and sky to trace,
And the charm OF ocean wide;
To note in the Wild and jostling throng,
Some fellow crushed or driven,
And give our hand as we 60 along;
This were to we'll have striven.

CHAPTER xxx.

I remained, as l was afterward in
formed, insensible for four days, dur
ing which time ] told and retold, in
my dcllrium, the story of the mutiny
and our own sufferings, so that as the
ships surgeon assured me, he became
very exactly acquainted with all the
particulars of the Grosvenor'S voyage,
from the time of her leaving the Eng
fish Channel to the moment of our res
cue from the boat; though l, from
whom he learned the story, was insen-
sible when l related it. My delirium
even embraced so remote an incident
as the running-down of the smack.
When l opened my eyes l found my
self in small, very comfortable cabin,
lying in bunk; and, being alone, I
had no knowledge of where I was, nor
would my memory give me the slight
est assistance. That every object that
my eye rested upon was unfamiliar and
that l was on board ship, was all
that l knew for certain. What puzzled
me most was the Earring sound caused
by the engines. l could not conceive
what this meant nor what produced it;
and the vessel being perfectly steady,
it was not in my power to realize that
| was being borne over the water.
closed my eyes and lay perfectly
still, striving to master the past and
inform myself of what had become OF
me.
In a few minutes the door of the
cabin was opened and jolly red-faced
man, wearing a Scotch cap, looked in.
Seeing me with my eyes open, he came
forward and exclaimed. in cheerful
voice:
"All alive o! Staring about you full
of wonderment! Nothing so Good as

'I'll send you in some beef-tea," he
said, "by person who'll be able to dc

excite yourself. Converse calmly, and
don't talk too much"
So saying, he went away.
| l lay quite still, and my memory re-
manned as helpless as though L had
just been born.
After an interval of about ten min
utes the door was again opened, and
Mary came in. She closed the door
and approached me, holding a cup Of

of that picture owe my life. friend
of his, Or one who could but speak his
name, shall ever find safety and kindly
treatment at the hands of Bob Fletcher,
the bushranger."
Before the two women could recover
from their surprise their captor had
drawn the keen blade Of his knife
across the bonds which had secured
their fellow prisoners, and in a voice
that rang from tree to tree he ordered
his band to replace every article as
they had found it, and load all again
into the wagon from which they had
been taken.
Though much surprised, the rob
bers did not dare to question the orders
of their chief, but obeyed in sullen
silence.
AS the sun began to gid the tree tops
@ heavy covered wagon, drawn by two
yoke of oxen, halted before the cabin
of William Stewart, the ticket of-leave
man.
The sturdy driver was just coiling up
the long lash of his whip when he was
joined by those who were travelling in
his company, two ladies and three men.
One Of the latter was mounted on q
horse whose glossy hair was black as
midnight. AS the rider drew rein he
called in CHEEKY voice;
''Oh, VIII Stewart! Come. I've
brought you back the Duke that you
SO kindly loaned me some months
since"
While the outlaw was speaking he
had dismounted and assisted one of the
ladies to do likewise. It was the
younger and handsomer of the two,
and as her delicate foot touched the
ground she raised her veil, and turn
ing said in low voice:
william! have you forgotten me?"
| For moment the ex-convict and the
brave girl stood, lost to all the world,
| when their bliss was broken in upon
| by heavy hoof-beats hurrying toward
them. Looking up the party deserted
a body of police.
"Ah, VIII, you see," coolly remarked
Fletcher, you see they are after me-"
''But there is the Duke, mani Mount
him and escape" said Stewart.
'No, no, my friend" exclaimed the
bushranger. ''It must come sooner or
later. I will meet my fate like man"
And drawing his weapons from his belt
he dropped them to the ground. Then
folding his arms across his chest he
walked forward to meet the officers.
1t was singular group that break
tasted that morning at the hut Of the
ticket-of-leave man. Leaving his men
to secure their prisoner, the lieutenant
hurried toward the sheep-herder, ex-
claiming joyfully:
Good news, friend Stewart, good
newsl We have just received word
from England that you were innocent
of the crime for which you were trans
ported"
"Ah, lieutenant, you are tardy
bearer of such news. This lady has
outstripped you, and captured bush
ranger into the bargain. "-Boston
