anticipated. But why did you invite
opposition by voting against MIR. Schnei-

"And pray. what makes you think
that Schneider and Moreton were the two
men in question:
.'Oh, Lady Belvoir told me that long
ago. You forget that they both had to
take leave of her. and to make some sort
OF lame excuse for cutting her acquaint-
ance until after an interval of six
months"

along!'
Not exactly; but Lady Belvoir was
clever enough TO guess what the truth
must be, and kind enough to let me hear
her conjectures. She thought they might
interest me, you see."
well, really that was both clever and
kind of Sybil.' exclaimed Percy CRATE
fully. Kind to me, I mean."
And when he impaired the news of his
engagement that evening to his cousin
he did not forget to thank her for the
important part which she had taken in
bringing about that happy event.
You certainly do W me some
thanks" Lady Belvoir said; ''but even
if l 1 hadn't been glad to do you a service
| should nave felt it my bounden duty to
frustratethe designs of that wretch Guise.
1t is all very fine for him to talk about
| the protection Of bachelors in general,
but if that was his object, why didn't he
try to make a few nor recruits! The
fact is that his plot was aimed simply
and solely against me, and before l have
done with him I will make him very
sorry that he even attacked me-"
Dorothy gave me d hint that you
meant to punish him for his sins" re-
marked Percy, smiling; but what can
you do with such d hardened reprobas:
Do you--do you really think of marry
ing him. SybilT'
There is an innocent sincerity about
your epigrams which makes me truly
thankful that I am not in Dorothy's
shoes" said Lady Belvoir TRANQUILITY.
No, do not propose to marry Lord
Guise-I would rather marry a crossing
sweeper, and so I shall tell him. But he
shall beg and implore me to marry him;

Il. s. Turner, Proprietor of the
ssTemple of Economy" Made
an Assignment
Saturday.

1t will be a genuine surprise to
the many friends of R. S. Turner,
proprietor of the Temple OF
Economy" to know that he made
an assignment of his entire stock
of goods Saturday to Jesse F.
Robertson. Mr.. Turner has always
been considered one of Mexico's
shrewdest business men and the
only thing that caused him to
make an assignment was a heavy
purchase of goods, which have no,
been sold in time to meet bis bills,
hence failure was inevitable. Mr.
Robertson will take an inventory
of the goods next week and then
offer the entire stock for sale a,
auction. We do not think the
liabilities are much larger than tn
assets and trust that Turner will
be able to open up again His
store was one of the most popular
IN Mexico and would be greatly
missed.

MAJ.-GEN. p. F.. BUTLER.
He Will Return to the South
for the First Time Since
the War.

From the National Tribune, Washington.
L. seems hardly necessary to say
anything of the history of Gen. B.
F. Butler. No man in the whole
nation has been more constantly
in t. e public eye for the last four
decades than he. AS a successful
lawyer and influential politician
before the war, as a patriot who
was among the first to respond to
the country's call at the firing upon
Fort Sumter, as the man who gave
New Orleans the best govern.
ment the city ever had, as Com
mander of the Army of the James.
as a Representative in Congress
and a leading politician since the
war, he has had public attention
constantly focused upon him. N,
man in the country has received
more praise and more abuse thar
he, and no man has more warm
personal friends and admirers.
Many of the people of the South
have been particularly bitte'
sginst him, and have tried to make
his name the synonym for all thai
was detestable. He is now abou,
to return good for evil, and heap
coals of Gre upon the heads of his
%detractors by a great enterprise &c
help restore prosperity to the
region which suffered so severely
from the ravages of the war. HI
is at the head of the great Georgia
Alabama Investment and Develop
ment Co, whose advertisement ap
pears elsewhere in this paper
which is made up of capitalist
whom he has associated with him
self in q scheme to rebuild ant
develop large portions of Dixie
Early next month he intends tt
make a tour of the South, visitin.
| that section for the first time sine,
the close of the war-twenty-si1
years ago. He will go to New
Orleans, and to all other promi
nent points anu survey the field o
operations of this company careful
ly, to inform himself personally al
to the possibilities of each locality
There is something phenomenal il
-uch a tour by a General who's

President and Cabinet Agree,

Mr. Blaine was in consultation with
the president for several hours Monday,
during which consulate the answer
to Rudini's letter, first ultimatum, or
whatever he chooses to call it, was
under discussion. The president is un"
derstoodsto have been in thorough ac-
cord with the sec etary of state in every
move that he has taken in this matter,
and, while the whole correspondence
growing out of the 'incident" may not
be published for some time, it is certain
that every memb of the cabinet is in
full accord with Mr.. Blaine. Upon him
the trouble and work has naturally
fallen to a greater extent than upon any
of his colleagues There is no more
danger of war with Italy to-day than
there was year ago, lut the concensus
of opinion is that unless some radical
step is soon taken to close our doors to
the cut throats of Europe there may be
strained relations with more than one
country where it is necessary to get up
a little "jingoism' for home consump-
tion and political effect.
