One forenoon, as Wallie Dinsmore was
seated in his study, with his slippered
feet pointed toward the fireplace, the
newspaper across his knees and the Afri
can lemur munching lump of sugar on
ais shoulder, he heard the door bell ring.
Herubbed his forehead between his eyes
and increased and recrossed his extended
legs by way of arousing himself, for his
serenity during the last half hour had
been gradually verging toward the So
porifc stage. A few moments afterward
there was knock at the study door, and
Wallie, resting his chin on the apex of
triangle made by his elbows and joined
hands, said, "Come inf

or Inconvenience. Mademoiselle replied
that she had not been delayed: but some
thing prevented her from telling Nine.
Bemax about the adventure with the di-
rector. She feared madame would say
something about the benefits of little
social relaxation and about getting used
to it; and she did not wish to feel an
aversion toward the good lady, who was
in many respects agreeable to her. So
she held her peace and hid her secrets in
her heart; but she could not forget them.

HIM to assume the air of one who is on
confidential terms with statesmen. He
had been at considerable pains to devise
ambiguous explanations of his possession
of ready money and of the singular dis
appearance Of his daughter, and had
been somewhat disappointed to discover
that no one seemed to be aware that he
had ever lacked the former or owned the
latter.
The world, Mr.. Randolph thought,
must be a barbarously large as well as a
reprehensibly insttentive place, since it
had failed to follow with solicitude the
course of his domestic concerns. How
ever, if there was neglect ON one side of
the account, it was balanced by con-
venienee on the other, and the unsus-
pected father Of the great prima donna
made q virtue of IMMUNITY.
He visited his daughter twice or thrice
week, besides being present at her per-
formances; but it afforded him certain
qualification to surround their inter
views with an elaborate network of Sc
crecy and intrigue, as if he were an
enamored Montague seeking to COM
mune at peril of their lives with love-
lorn Capulet. There was evidently vein
of romance in this old gentleman which,
had it been properly cultivated in due
season, might have considerably enlarged
his character.

mas conscience. Itwould probably have
subsidized into a condition of comfortable
acquiescence in destiny had it not been

had never been born, or at least that
she herself might have achieved her fame
in some straightforward and unencum-
bered way. When certain tender look
and smile, very winning IN one whose
features were naturally severe, came into
his face the pleasure it gave her was
marred by the reflection, How would he
look if he knew what | am? It is true
that he believed her to be a woman whose
moral character was currently supposed
to be less immaculate than good many
aliases would render that of Beatrix Ran
dolph; none the less she felt, when in his
presence, that her one actual sin was
more burdensome than all the vicarious
naughtiness of the unknown Russian.
She told herself that Godfrey had per-
haps made up his mind to condone Ma.
rana's delinquencies, taking into account
her foreign training, her temptations,
and the loose standard of morals that pre-
vailed in Europe, but that he never would
forgive Beatrix for having deliberately
misled him-she, an American girl
, brought up amid all the enlightenment
and fastidious rectitude of the great re-
public. This was the crumpled leaf il
: her bed of roses, and it chafed her re
J lentlessly.

Judge MILLER on the Oyster Law.

The question as 10 whether under the aet
Of ls0, chapter 6O2, known as the MARYLAND
Oyster Law, il is competent for the State Of
Maryland to punish party for bringing a
cargo Of oysters from waters outside Of the
State lin virginis) into this State for sale
where the empty shells constituted more thaa
eve per cent Of the cargo and the oys,e,s were

master Of the schooner Mary, Of Annapolis
which was argued Wednesday Of last week
before Judge Miller in the Circuit Court Al
Annapolis in the babeas corpus proceeding
Mr.. John Ireland represented the accused and
States Attorney James VI. Monroe the State
The case was submitted upon an agreed state.
meut Of facts, in which it was shown that the
cargo Of oysters was in fact taken 10 Virginia
waters.
After hearing argument Of counsel Judge
Miller gave his decision, in which he held
that the object of the law in question was To
prevent taking Of small oysters within Mary
land waters, and that the law does not apply
to a case where they were taken from waters
out Of the State. lie also held that il was
competent for the Legislature to require such
oysters TO be inspected, but that a party
could not be punished for merely bringing
them into the State and Offering them for sale
Such law, he said, is not within the police
power Of the State, because it does not profess
to declare that such small oysters are deleteri-
to health, but is simply part Of the general
oyster laws designated for the protection of
oyster seds in the State. The fact, however,
that party is found in possession Of such
oysters is, says Judge Miller, prima facie evil
dence that the oysters were taken in Mary
land waters, and it IS matter of defense for
him to show and prove that they were not
taken in Maryland waters. Our system IS
valid he added, being designed to protect
oyster beds in our own waters.
In other words, Judge Miller decided: l..
That all oysters sold or offered for sale in this
State could be lawfully inspecteded under
the provisions of chapter COZ, section 20 of
the act 1890. 2. That if it were proved as a
matter of defense that the oysters were trans
ported into this State from foreign waters,
the party so bringing them into the State
could not be fined or imprisoned for having
such oysters in possession for the purpose of
sale. 3. That il party is found in Mary
land waters with cargo Of oysters contain
ing larger proportion Of shells and small
oysters than prescribed by the act Of 1890,
chapter COZ, in order TO escape conviction,
under this act, he must prove by way of de-
Tense that the oysters came from without the
State Of Maryland.

The decisions of the United States Court
on these subjects are interesting.
l. Subscribers who do not give express no
tice to the contrary are considered as wish
ing to renew their subscriptions.
2. If subscribers order the dscontnuanee
of their periodicals, the publisher may con-
tinue to send them until all arrearages are
paid.
3. If subscribers neglect or refuse to take
their periodicals from the postoffice to which
they are directed, they are responsible until
they have settled their bills and ordered them
discontinued.
A. If subscribers move to other places with
out informing the publisher, aud the papers
are sent to the former address, they are Leld
responsible.
3. The courts have decided that refusing
to take periodicals from the Office or remov-
ing and leaving them uncalei for, is prima
facie evidence Of international fraud.
e. If subscribers pay in advance they are
bound to give notice at the end of the time if
they do not wish to continue taking it; other
wise the publisher is authorized to send it,
ard the subscriber will be responsible until

A practical suggestion is embodied in the
following. "The oyster planters of Long
Island Sound are taking lime stone from the
Hudson river with which to make oyster beds
on which the spawp can attach itself These
planters FIRST used all the oyster shells they
could get from the towns along the sound and
from New York Then they brought them
by the ship load from Maryland. The oyster
shells, however, broke up rapidly and were
washed away, and it was found necessary to
resort to lime stone, which is found to make

frOZe to Death
On Thor day night of las. Seek, VIZ
Smith, an iiirerHnt goldsmith, was
found frozen to death between Newport and
Aliens Fresh Smith was last seen alive at
Newport on the Thursday night Of his death,
about nine O'clock, when the stores closed,
and he started for Cox's Station. He was
drinking, but it is said tina: be was by no
mesus intoxicated and could easily take care
Of himself. 1t is supposed he became exhaust
ed and froze before he could find place Of
shelter. Justice Cough examined the body
and found no evidence of foul play and de-
clned to hold an inquest. Smith was well
known in the county, having visited nearly
every house at one time or another pursuing
his trade. OF late years he has made hi;
home with Mr. James B. Wenck, near Cox;
Station, and in all probability he was making
for that place when death overlook him by
the wayside.
