Love OuestioI,s.

Three white roses filled the air
with sweetness-three white roses,
strong-stemmed, long and leafy, with
petals of waxen tlneness and velvet
softness, They swayed in the tall,
clear grass that held them, They
shone against the dull red Of the
wall, against which they were placed
with sort OF radiance. They
seemed more than mere flowers
they we're angelic messengers
She sat and watched them through
her long lashes-she was like them
slender 1.-the, and strong, cold and
beautiful. The white gown that she
wore was clasped with cord the
color of the leaves, Her small, we'll
posed head was set upon her neck
with the grace Of one Of the bios
SONS on its stem, She watched
them with an inscrutable expression
on her face. 1t was almost as though
she were Of their race and were list
ening to them speaking for her eaI
alone,
A sudden breeze passed through
the room. A waXen petal fell from q
rose, She started suddenly from heI
reyerie She smiled contemptuously
as she moved from the chair

A War Claim.

John T. Browns war claim Is a
good story, says the Washington Post
The committee has just reported to
the House fayorably bill to pay Mr.
Brown $1,000, and the circumstances
under which this obligation was in.
CURED are set forth in the report. In
the wide range which war claims
have taken there is nothing quite
like this. In November, 1868, ac-
cording to the committees narrative,
Miss Mary Love, of Kingston, Tenn.
was intrusted with an impo; tant dis
patch from Gen. Grant to Gen. Burn
side at Knoxville, Tenn. She car
ried the dispatch to Louisville,
Tenn, accompanied part Of the way
by Thomas e. Carter as escort and
guide. Miss Love delivered the dis
patch to John T, Brown, who was
then a boy only about l3 years Of age,
and he carried the dispatch from
there to Knoxville, through the enc
my's lines, a distance of about thir
teen miles, and delivered it to Gen.
Burnside, whose army was being be
sieged in Knoxville by the rebels,
Gen. Burnside said that the dispatch
was a very valuable one to the public
service. That was shown by the fact
that in January 1873, Congress
passed an act granting to Miss Mary
Love $1,000 for her services. The
undertaking was perilous one and
its accomplishment a creditable act,
and "for it he deserves the thanks OF
all the lovers of their country" the
committee says. The evidence shows
that he had to get out Of Louisville
through the enemy's pickets and into
Knoxville through their lines. Miss
Love states that he was the only per-
SON at Louisville that could be found
to undertake to carry the dispatch
through.
1t is said that one soldier, Charles
Francis lost his life in an attempt to
carry a copy Of the dispatch through
by another route.

THE ooRsloAN CLAN.
How tho Spirit First Originated Through

MhkoNeEHhths
The Corsican loves not work,
neither Is he greedy for gold, but he
is ambitious, an eager politician,
keenly DESTROYS of place and power,
Of anything, in short, that may set
him above his fellow-men, The
word politician" however, must be
understood in local sense, The
questions that agitate the continent
have small concern for him; his poll
tics begins and ends with the triumph
or ACKNOWLEDGMENT of his clan. The
chief OF a clan has no slnecure, He
is expected on all occasions to exert
himself for the interest of his clients,
says the Contemporary Review,
If an adherent wishes for Il post, it
is the duty Of the chief to obtain 1t
for him; If he has incurred some fine
or penalty the chief must use his In
fluence to get it RENTED. His
clients in return Gas to public matters)
will obey his lead implicitly. He may
be a Republican to-day, he may turn
Monarchist tomorrow, but it will
make no difference in their allegiance,
nor will he lose a single follower
thereby; it is an understood thing
that what he has done he has done
for the good of the clan, and as in
former times they would have fol-
lowed him to battle, so they will fol-
low him to the ballot-bo to-day.
This spirit Of "clan" first took its
rise during centuries of abominable
misgoyernment Under the infam-
Gus rule Of the Genoese, justice was
not administered, it was sold. For
an isolated individual there was no
security either for life or property;
he had no chance in the battle Of life
save by allaying himself to some
powerful family that could make his
interests respected The more nu-
merous the clan, the more its infu-
ence would be felt; therefore the
Corsican glories in the number Of his
cousins as he would in the strength
of his right arm.
