Then the awakening came. l sat one
day in the chair beside his, wondering as
usual. Ihad felt heavy of late with a

a dead weight hung continually on my
shoulders and another rested on my
heart.
Awarmer color in the strangers cheek

His eyes were livelier and less profound.
The melancholy was passing from them
as breath fades off a pane of glass. He

There were two white hairs in my fore
lock, and at the corner of either eye half
a dozen radiating lines. I was an old
man.
Turning, l regarded the stranger. He
sat as phlegmatic as an Indian idol, and
in my fancy ! felt the young blood
draining from my own heart and saw it
mantling in his cheeks. Minute by min

man beautified. As buds unfold he put

For Outrages Committed Recently
in MaGrid

MADRID. Dec. 27.-The trial of Del
Doche and Vereira, charged with at
tempting to blow up the congress house
at Madrid. and VINO were arrested April
f. 1872, Is now III progress. The two
were arrested at the doors of the cham
Der with bombs in their possession, and
papers found upon the prisoners showed
that the conSpirators intended to de-
stroy the senate house. the law courts,
sthe offices of the council of state. the
ministry of war, the royal palace and
the Bank of Spain. The trial is likely
to be protracted. as forty two witnesses
are to be examined. The court will be
carefully guarded in order to prevent
the possibility of dynamite outrages.
DIX persons were arrested last evening
upon suspicion of being engaged in
conspiracy to commit an outrage by the
use of dynamite.
}, IL mas transpired that the governor Of
Madrid received two letters in which
the writer's threatened to blow UP the
opera house, at which place the queen
regent and the infanta were to attend a
performance yesterday evening. The
governor thereupon warned the royal
family, and they remained away.
In some manner the news of this
warning reached the audience and
spread with alarming rapidity. The
result was panic. The police showed
considerable judgment while the au-
dlence was making its exit, and sue
ceeded in preventing any serious injury
TO anybody present. The scattering of
the audience from the opera house
spread alarm and excitement through
out Madrid, and ali through the night
Tie widest rumors were in circulation.
The governor did his utmost to reassure
people, but it was long time before
the public excitement Gained down.
De!bOche and Ferreira addressed the
jury IN an excited manner, uphOlding
the principles of anarchy and condemn
Ing violence: but proclaiming that the
term anarchist" was synonymous with
that OF "honest man." During the
course OF their addresses, the anarchists
also claimed that their brethren of Chi
cago. and others who were executed as
the penalty of their crimes, were
martyrs in the cause of the redemp-
ton of humanity" The prisoners de-
med that they had any intention to
blow up the cortes, and assert that
man named Junez, police spy. dis
gulSed as an anarchist, induced them
to carry the parcels 10 the chamber, and
they insisted that they themselves were
ignorant of their contents. Senior Car
Duia, an ex-Repubiican minister, is de-
tending Delboche, and eX-Minister
Echelaray is foreman Of the jury.

spirator, it is reported. has been heard

view him with a view to attempting q
corroboration OF Mrs. Foy.
Inc prosecution met with its first re-
pulse in the afternoon. Judge Tuthill
refused to admit its important testimony

untouched. The state could not, in
Judge TuthilPs opinion. show sufficient
cause for introducing the testimony.

TONERS of his day. who do not deserve
to be mentioned for iniquity and bias
phemy of all that is holy with that class

indicate tie Alliance is gaining ground

buttons Will probably be offered de-
nounclng the governor for calling

as his friends are present in force, they
cannot be adopted without stiff fight.

For the Hand of Woman in

HAZEITON. Pa, Dec. 81. Martin
Wendell and Steven Staboul. rivals for
the hand Of woman, met in Shepptown
today for the first time in twelve
months. Wendell has always attributed
his failure to win the object of his
affections to StabouPs influence over
her, and had sworn to have re-
venge. AS soon as he saw Staboul
today he drew an immense knife from
his bosom and made a fierce attack
OIL the man he hated. The first
slash cut out Stabouls right eye, and
before he could escape Wendell was
upon him, trying to cut out the other
one. In this he did not succeed, but a
second sweep of the big knife sliced off
the nose and severed all the arteries and
muscles of the luckless fellows face,
intiicting wounds from the effects of
which he will die. The physician in
attendance says he never saw a case in
which mutilation was so horrible.
Wendell was taken to Pottsville tonight

Net Earnings of the Oregon Rail-
way and Navigation Company.
PORTLAND. Or, Dec. 27.-The net
earnings of the Oregon Railway &
Navigation company, according to the
reports of the Union Pacific. have for
several years shown deficiency after
paying the per cent stipulated in the
lease on Oregon Railway d Navigation
stock, and it is thought tie deficiency
can be overcome by the receivers of the
Union Pacific; the bondholders want
their interest, as is evidenced by a pc
tition of the Farmers Loan and Trust
company, the holders of mortgage OH
all property securing the bonds. The
question seems susceptible Of three
solutions. Either the stockholders will
have TO wait for their returns or the
court will have to order the deficiency
made up OF the other funds of the Union
Pacific, or else set aside the lease
Should the lease be set aside it is said
the Oregon Railway IL Navigation
would go into the hands OF receivers.

CALTANIZETTA, Dec. 27.-Further de-
tails have been received here of the
riots at Valgurnera. For many hours
the town was in the bands of the lawless
mob, who, after an attempt to invade
the barracks, stormed the prison and
liberated all the prisoners. The
latter profited by their unexpected re-
lease to rob many private residences
and shops. The local magistrate
vainly appealed to the rioters to be
peaceful. A number of private houses
were set on fire by the rioters. The
troops, who were assisted by the peace
ably disposed inhabitants, helped to
restore order. The police succeeded in
recaptnring many of the prisoners, and
got back some of the stolen property.
More troops arrived today as precau-
ton against the renewal of the riots.
