All the town was up to bid the rich
Government contractor welcome to
Tewkstown within twenty-four hours.
Human nature is human nature every.
where. But Cyrus Dabney cared
little for the friendly overtures OF the
old neighbors.
Aunt Abby was the only person for
whom he seemed to care, and his great
eat grief was that the old woman re.
fused to leave the old Dabney farm
house to live in the stately brick man.
sion which, he built on Prospect Hill.
And then he asked permission to
deck her little bedroom with the
curiosities he had brought her from the
isthmus, and in tacking up draperies
and arranging shells and old silver
coins he and Mary became friends.
Friends! She never knew that it
was anything else, until one day old
Aunt Abby took n strange idea into
her head. And Mary, holding q rich
Oriental cord for Cyrus Dabney to
loop into knots for picture frames,
heard her introduce Mrs. Miller to n
neghbor as "My guest, Mrs. Miller,
the mother of the young lady that
Nephew Cyrus is going to marry"
Cyrus looked at Mary. Mary
dropped the ball of cord and turne1
crimson.
"Mary," he said, "sny that it shall
be SO. For I love you-yes, I love
you! And I can't live without your
love. And-and you were good to old
Aunt Abby when oil tho world turned
against her. sometimes think, Mary,
that you must be like ono of heavens
angels"
And this was how they became en-
gagged.
They still live in the old farmhouse,
the happiest of married lovers, and
Aunt Abbey firmly believes that they
are NIL her guests, for to her the world
stands eternally still-the world that
is so full of bloom and beauty to Cy-
rus and Mary. -Saturlay Night.

SPRING.
IT'S the mystery Of ages,

IT'S the mystery Of ages,
'Tis the miracle of birth,
IT'S the kiss that nature giveth
To the motherhood of earth.
Ever dying, ever living,
Through the cycles of the years.
Spring, promise and portent,
Comes In laughter and in tears.
Hark, its voice an echo bringeth
OF the days We loved and lost;
Hope" the word it softly whispers,
To the soul that's tempest tossed.
You who weep, and you who labor,
Weary Of your work and days,
Listen to tho voice of nature
Speaking in its wondrous ways.
'Death! There Is none," sings the robin
''What was life shall live again"
This the message, this the promise
That the springtime brings to men.

Mr.. Fred Taylor was born and brought up
near Elmira, N. Y, and from there enlisted
in the 1s9th regiment, N. Y, V. L, with
which he went through the war and saw
much hard service. Owing TO exposure and
hardships during the service, Mr. Taylor con-
tracted chronic diarrhea, from which he has
suffered now over thirty years, with ahec-
lutely no help from physicians. By nature
he was wonderfully vigorous man. bad
he not been, his disease and the experiments
Of the doctors had killed him long ago.
Laudanum was the only thing which Afford
ed him relief. He had terrible headaches,
his nerves were shattered, he could not sleep
IN hour day on an average, and he was re-
duced to skeleton. A year ago he and his
wife sought relief in change Of climate and
removed 10 Geneva Ohio; but the change in
health came not. Finally. on the recon-
mendation of F. J. Hofrer, the leading drug
gist Of Ge,.era, who was cognfznnt OF similar
orscs which Pink Pills had cured, Mr.. Taylor
was persuaded to try box. Gas drowning

Washington, April 1-The British
have occupied Corinto and the British
flag has been raised over the city.
The landing was made ait O'Clock this
morning. All government officials as
we'll as the Nlcaraguan population of
Corlnto have vacated the town, leaving
1t completely in possession of the Bria,
ish troops. 1t is understood that Com
mander Trench OF the Royal Arthur
has been Constituted military governor
Of Corlnto, The fact that cable ad-
vices do not speak of trouble is ac'
cepted as showing the larsflng of the
British forces was peaceable and un-
opposed. Reports yesterday Indicated
that OCO Nlcaraguan troops had con-
ccna,Dted ait Corinto and forces from
Honduras were expected, but the fact
thai ali Nicanagaian authorities with
drcw leaving the British complete mas
tiers of the situation indicates the local
soldiery were not called upon. 1t is
stated, however. that the evacuation
of Cortnto does not mean surrender
by Nicaragua. Troops are believed to
be in the neighborhoodi of CoND'o ready
to resist Notwithstanding the an
nouncement in cablegrams to the Nj
caraguan minister, in administration
circles the opinion is firmly expressed
that Admiral Stephenson has not land-
ed troops. 1t is stated that the admins
istrahon has been advised that the
real cause why peaceful settlement
has not been effected already is be-
cause Nicaragua has been unable to
raise the indemnity With nthe three
days allowed.
The daily morning Astorian. [volume] (Astoria, Oregon) 1883-1899, 1895-04-28

Is no resort to hostilities at present,
it opens the prospect Of alarming
events in the future, which may, and
in fact are even regarded as likely,
to involve the United States directly
in the affair in spite of the earnest dis
position Of the administration to
avoid entanglement. This action
means chat no goods can now be enter
ed at CorinIto port which has here
tofore received over half of the i'm
ports of the country, without violating
the national law of Nicaragua. The
British may collect duties If any goods
enter the place, but the latter would
be liable TO selzuer the moment they
crossed the British lines into the in
terror.
The first effect of the decree closing
the port, therefore, will probably be to
divert nearly all If not the entire inn
port TRADE of the place to san Juan
del Sur, or perhaps Realajo, a seaport
near by. In, this case the lenstA az
the stay of the British ait Corlnto u
problemtatbcal, conditional, as It is,
upon collecting enough revenue from
the customs to make good the indemni-
ty demanded. But another considera-
tion arises at this point, for our gov
ernment has been assured that the
occupation Will not be permanent, and,
indeed, the first paragraph OF the
OIaybon-BuIwer treaty expressly
pledges Great Britain against tie occu,
patton of Nioaraguan territory. so
the problem will arise how to collect
the indemnity within a reasonable
time. phls may be settled summarily
by simply extending the occupancy and
blockade beyond C0lfnto, so as to lA-
olude all the Pacific ports of Nicara-
qua. From the disposition shown by
the N.cantagualns ait present this can
be done only by force, and Is likely to
add very largely to the expense in
curned In the collection of the indeIn-
nity, which items will surrey be added
by the British to the original sum.
This course, moreover, will seriously
emhIarrass the commerce of the United
States, and ON this point Great Britain
has given Secretary Grsdl2m rb II
assurances of the manner in which the
British may be sure of attaining their
ends by q prompt declaration of war
and an invasion of Nicaragua, involv-
ing the capture of the capital, Mama
qua, and the imposition upon the
Nj Sarag1ans of the British terms as
the price Of peace.
