naturally suffered somewhat by the
comparison.
In the midst OF all this theatrical
effervcscence in the papers, certain
Freddie Gebhard (who. by the way,
was lately married to beautiful balti-
more belle) fell desperately In love
with Mrs. Langtry, and sent her flowers
and Jewels to such profuse and amaz-
ing extent that the incident became
town talk, and opened up new ana
fertile field for entertaining scandal.
The journals turned this to instant
account, and we read OF bowers OF
roses, diamond necklaces, bracelets OF
rubies, strings OF pearls, and all the
precious stones thai Tiffany could I'M
port being lavished on the actress. Mr.
Gebhard's charming dinners TO Mrs.
Langtry and her friends were described
and written up as though they had
been state banquets.

hard's part, being entendu) was as cool
as a conventional cucumber. She was
not a BIT Hurried. She enjoyed the
aroma of the roses, wore the Jewels,
ate the dinners, smiled at the para
graphs, and filed her purse. That Is
exactly what she went to America for.
Newspaper paragraphs that would have

Lily. She was equal TO the occasion.
All was griSt that came to her beautiful

provided, and the result was she not
only invested handsome sum in pro-
perty in California and purchased some
land in Chicago, but finally returned to
England with sack Of ducats that
would enable her to live in luxury the
rest Of her days.

in New York, and lunched with her
tete-a-tete at her own house with view
to business chat.
Mrs. Langtry is an intelligent wom-
an, and keeps her eyes and ears we'll
open to what is passing in society,
though she is no longer in it. There
is a touch Of cynicism in her talk that
gives it d sub-acid tone and renders 1t
entertaining.
In speaking OF modern men, she
said: II really believe men grow more
and more Indifferent to the attractions

he said very quietly.
"Well, it's quite true. Our coach

Frank turned on his heel and walked

The devoted Runce asked no ques-

q mistake; but what mistake! Ger
tain things in his life since flashed
through his brain. Things that would
never have occurred but for the mis-
take. He had meant to live his lie
more wisely, because it would be offered
TO her. How could he offer 1t 10 her
now? He looked at her, and the change
in her struck him so forcibly that ne

"Don't you know? Pm in the chorus

He took the hint at once.
"Oh! yes, flush enough. Come ana

Over the soup she told her story.
"Pater and mater stayed on a bit In

come back; found he'd lost lot OF
money. I had to do something, so
went on the stage. Been touring most

He asked after her people.
"Oh! l dunno; had row with the
pater. He would come down to see me

OF 'em now. Idon't care; I'm all right
on my own"
He had often heard women speak so
before, but coming from her IL hurt
him; but as the dinner progressed the
pain seemed to grow less keen. She
was very pretty stil. Then ne told his
little story Of success.
He munched his celery with a sense
Of lazy content. His boYhood seemed

She leaned on his shoulder, and put

"You OLD darling. And you haven't

Their lips met.

This gave me serious thought and
more anxious apprehension. From time
to time letters came from friends in the
South urging me to resign. One from
my brother urged my speedy return as
those most prompt in returning Wouid
receive more favorable consideration
than those who were less prompt. In
reply l wrote that l didn't propose 10
return unless there was war. Ii there
was no war the South would be ready
to return to the Union in few years,
and would be in a position to help her.
If we have a war it will last long enoagh
for all to find their proper level. That
is all that any one should aspire 10
reach.
OLD COMRADES AND FRIENDS EsTRANGED
.sThe overt act Of war created pro-
fonnd revulsion of feeling among the
officers OF the army, and even with
those of the South there was much dis
appointment and chagrln when it was
announced that Southern batteries haa
been opened on Sumter, and the result
of that bombardmeDt became known.
sit was sad day when We took leave
of lifetime comrades and left Aiour-

their families made any effort 10 conceal
feelings OF deepest regret. When We
drove out from the post a number OF
officers accompanied US, which only
made the last farewell more awful.
"Passing Fort Craig, or the opposite
side of the Rio Grande, we pitched our

LIBRARY NOTES.

The library received several volumes
of reports in good bindings through
the compliments of Senator Andrews,
who has the honor of having donated
the largest number of books. He will
always be- welcome caller. He ex-
presses the belief that we could have
added to our library, in short time at
least, two thousand volumes through
the advantages of an act passed by the
last General Assembly in regard to
such needs.
Several new volumes have been ad
ded this month, among them being a
number of choice books for juveniles
for which there is growing demand.
