HIS MEDITERRANEAN.

ssYou've come, have you2" said my
mother-in-law, in deep voice, as she stood
on the threshold, grimly surveying me with
eyes that shone like hard, greenish-blue
gooseberries behind her spectacles. For
such modern trifes as eyeglasses were as
unsuited to my mother-ln-law's fine Roman
nose as point-lace collar would be to the
Venus Of Milo. 1 could feel her glances
penetrate to the very marrow of my bones,
and yet contrived to keep bold front as I
stood facing her.
It was rather curious complication.
My mother-in-law had not the least idea
who was. l had cheerfully intended to
take her by surprise; but now that the
eventful moment had arrived, my courage,
like that of Bob Acres, as Jefferson shows
him, was ooZing out of the ends OF my I'M
gers.

absolutely ugly, a sublime audacity, and

Nettie had looked admiringly upon me
and acquiesced in my argument. We had
taken board at the Angel Hill hotel and
began our honeymoon royalty. At the end
of month mine host had become little

Nettie's mother had written a letter to her,

The sudden jarring and fitting of the
waterlogged boat, a sound Of rasping tim
bers, the swarning of men in shirtsleeyeS
and blue trousers around her, seemed to
rouse her momentarily, but she again
tainted away. III
When she struggled back to conscious
ness once more she was wrapped in a
soldiers Jacket, her head piIlowed on the
shirtsleeve Of an artillery corporal in the
stern sheets of that eight-oared government
barge she had remembered. But the only
officer was a bare headed boyish lieutenant,
and the rowers were an athletic but unsea-
Inanlike crew of mingled artilleryInen and
infantry.

They moved away. But Mrs. Bunker,
stung through her benumbed and brooding
] consciousness, and made desperate by this
repeated revelation of her former weakness,
| had heard enough to make her feverish to
hear more. She knew the intricacies of the
| shrubbery thoroughly. She knew every
foot of shade and cover of the clearing, and
creeping like a cat from bush to bush, she
managed, without being discovered, to keep
the party in sight and hearing all the time,
| 1t required no great discernment, even for
an inexperienced woman like herself, at
| the end of an hour to gather their real pur-
| pose. It was to prepare for the secret
landing of an armed force, disguised as la
| borerS, who, under the outward show of
| quarrying in the bluff, were to throw up
breastworks and fortify the craggy shelf.
| The landing was fixed for that night, and
was to be effected by a vessel now cruising
outside the Heads.
She understood 1t all now. She remem-
bered Marion's speech about the impor-
lance OF the bluff for military purposes; she
| remembered the visit of the officers from
| the fort opposite. The strangers were
stealing a march upon the government, and
| by night would be IN possession. 1t was
| perhaps an evidence of her newly awakened
and larger comprehension that she took no
| thought of her loss OF her home and prop
erty-perhaps there was little to draw her
to it now-but was conscious only of more
| terrible catastrophe-a catastrophe to
which she was partly accessory, of which
any other woman would have warned her
husband. or at least those officers of the
fort whose business it was to-ah, yes the
officers OF the fort-only just opposite to
her! She trembled, and yet flushed with
an inspiration. It was not too late yet

curity of success. If she could do it, 1t
was a long pull-the sea was getting up
but she would try.
She waited until the Eastman had stepped
into the boat, in nervous dread of some one
remaining. Then. vixen the boat had van
ished around the point again, she ran back

Pumping for Life.

A traveller, in the course of a
morning walk in Amsterdam, came
upon a group gathered round well,
into which a strongly built man had
just been let down. A pipe, whose
mouth was at the top of the well,
had been opened, and a stream of
water from it was flowing into she
well, gradually filling it. The man
below had quite enough to do, if he
did not want to be drowned, to
keep the water out by means of a
pump that was at the bottom of the
well.
The traveller, plying the man,
asked for an explanation of what
seemed cruel, heartless joke.
"Sir, replied an old man standing
near, "that fellow is, as you see,
healthy and strong. 1 have myself
offered him work twenty times, but
he always allows laziness to get the
better of him, and will make any
excuse to beg his bread from door
to door, though he might easily
earn it if he chose.
awe are now trying to make him
realize that he must work If he
uses the strength that is in his arms,
he will be saved; if be lets them
hang idle, he will be drowned. But
look, continued the old Dutchman,
as he went to the edge of the well,
ethe fellow finds out that he has
muscles already; in an hour we shall
let him out with better resolutions
for the future.
The traveller watched until the
man was liberated from his watery
prision, and felt sure that Mt least a
temporary cure had been effected.

A Good Definition.


The Iowa Democrats have adopt
ed a platform which has in it and
all through it the true ring of De-
mocracy.
The Democracy of that wide
awake State believes in making the
tariff the issue in the coming strug-
gle, and when it defines that issue
it does so with defnitencss that
has in it nothing of ambiguity, and
gives no room for misconstruction.
1t defines tariff reform to mean athe
right OF every man to put into his
own mouth the bread that he earns
with his own hands, and all of it,
without having it tolled or taxed
for the private benefit of any of his
fellow men,"
That is the sentiment that goes
straight to the heart of every true
Democrat in the land 1t is the
very gist of the tariff reform issue,
and is a sentiment that is bound to
grow in this country until it pre-
walls over the fallacy of the protec-
tion nonsense which the majority
of the voters in this Union have
time and time again stamped as a
fraud and wrong.

President Harrison is quoted as
saying that if the support of tho
Republican party of the South is
necessary in order that he may Sc
cure re- nomination, that such re-
nomination will not be acceptable
to him. If such an utterance on
the part of the President was
prompted by a knowledge that tho
Republicans of the Southern States
preferred to support Sherman or
Blaine, we could attribute it to
spirit of bitterness arising from
jea.ously and pique
If such words have been uttered
after four years acquaintance
with the politicians of his party in
this section, they may be attributed
to the President being ashamed of
his own party in the South. If the
little man beneath his grandfathers
hat has become so egotistic as to
think that it is decreed by Provi--
dence that he shall succeed himself
Ia belief he is said to repose in with
much pious confdence-he may
find that he is banking on Provi-
dence for more than his political
share, and that his pious egotism
may not be so sustaining and COM
forting on the day when the Repub-
Iican convention meets, as would be
the support of a solid southern dele
cation. We recollect, Mr.. Presi-
dent, when the Southern gentle
men of an historic old city, in their
warm hospitality, sought you and
asked that they might have the
honor of making you their guest,
and you said you preferred to re-
main in a railway station. We
have not forgotten the remark you
once made when with pious upturn-
ed eyes you thanked God that you
had not been born in the South.
We are not surprised at you whom
your Piety goes SO far now as TO
lead you to assail your own unfor-
tunate party in the Southern States.
Your career is now drawing to-
wards its close and it will soon be
our pleasure to bid you an adleu,
not as the President Of this great
Republic, not as the President of
these United States; but as the Presi-
dent Of one section, whose advisers
have been an one hundred million
dollar cabinet, and whose upholders
have been oppressive monopolisls.
When you retire to private life
may your political piety be of much
comfort to you. "Whom the gods
would destroy they first make mad. .

tunes, case OF old English books

rank smoking jackets, anyhow
"But can't walk about the house
at night without stumbling over a
box of horned frogs, or knocking
down a cabinet of desicated butter
flies, or jamming my head into one
of your priceless hornets nests. .
"Billiger MeSwat, you know as
well as do that you can afford to
build an addition to this house, if
there isn't room in it for all our
things
"What is the use of building an
addition II you expect to fill it with
autograph albums and stuffed liz
ards and things27
"You can save a corner in it, you
know, for your old boots, dear. j

love, you know you need more room
for those. They would be of no
value to me as curios, but it is not
for me to question yonr taste in pre-
serving them. They may be of in

Clearly this would not do The
discussion was becoming Irrelevant.
