LAWSON--Mrs Aldeline Cary Law
son, who has been sick for sometime,
passed from this world OF sin and care
to the eternal land of bliss last Satur-
day. March 10Th, at 80 O'Clock a m,
in the 10th year of her age. Mrs. Law
son was one of the prominent citizens,
one ever ready to champion the cause
of right and we feel that in her death
we have endured a severe loss.
The funeral services took place from
the Second Baptist Church of which
she was member for 80 years. Rev
u. d. Lewis, the pastor, preached the
sermon and many a wet-eye could be
seen in the audience from the effect of
his powerful sermon
She was also a member of the Sauna
ritans and the st. Luke for 20 years.
A. d. Price, our popular undertaken,
had charge of the funeral-findings
which we're in keeping with his well
deserved reputation.
Mrs. Lawson leaves devoted daugh-
ter, Mrs. Mary K. Harvey, and two
grandchildren to mourn their loss.
The societies of which she was a mem
Der were out to pay the last tribute to
their departed sister.
We miss thy kind and willing hand
Thy fond and earnest care;
Our home is dark without thee,
We miss thee everywhere.
HER DAUGHTER.

CHAPTER IY

For once Susy had not exaggerated.
Capt. PincRney was lingering with the
deputy who had charge of him on the
trall near the casa. II had already
been pretty well understood by both
captiyes and captors that the arrest
was simply a legal demonstration, that.
the sympathizing federal Judge would
undoubtedly order the discharge of the
prisoners on their own reeognizances
end twas probable that the deputy saw
no harm in granting Pinckney's re-
quest, which was virtually only DELAY
in his own liberation. 1t is also nossi
hlefthat Pinckney had worked upon the
cmYairous sympathies Of the man by
processing his disinclination to leave
their devoted colleague, Mrs. Rrant. at
the mercy Of her antagonistic and cold
blooded husband at such crisis. and II
Is to be feared, also, that Clarence. as a
reputed lukewarm partisan, excited no
personal sympathy even from his own
party. Howbeit, the deputy agreed to
delay PinclSney's journey for parting
interview with his fair hostess.
How far this expressed the real sem
timents Of Capt. Pinckney was never
known. Whether his political associa-
ton with Mrs. Brant had developed into
q warmer solicitude, understood or ig-
nored by her, and what were his hopes
and aspirations regarding his future
was by the course Of fate never dis
closed. a man Of easy ethics but rigid
artificialities Of honor. fiattered and
pampered by class prejudice, So
called IMAM of the world" with no ex-
perience beyond his own limited circle,
yet brave and devoted to that it we're
well, perhaps, to leave that last act Of
his Intellectual life to the simple record
of the deputy.

if I'd just come--but as if I'd always
been right here-and it was you who'd
just come! Don't you understand?
just as you came when me and Mary
Rogers were here-don't you remember
her, Clarence, and how she used to do
'gooseberry' for sl--well-just like
that. So said to Jim--'I don't know
you any more-get!' and just slipped

when face to face with the victims ot
the Indian massacre his sense Of faS-
tidious superciliousness in the discov-
cry of the body Of Susy's mother
surely twas the cold blood of his father
influencing him ever thus. What had
he to do with affection. with domestic
happiness. with the ordinary ambitions
of mans life, whose blood was frozen at
its source. Yet even with this very
thought came once more fhe old incon-
sistent tenderness he had as a boy law
ished upon the almost unknown and
fugitive father who had forsaken his
childish ompanionship, and remem-
bered him only by secret gifts. He re-
membered how he had worshiped him
even while the pious padres at san Jose
were endeavoring to eliminate this ter
rible poison from his blood and combat
his hereditary instinct in his conflicts
with his school fellows. And it was
part of his inconsistency that, riding
away from the scene Of his first blood
shed, his eyes were dimmed with moist
ure, not for the victim, but for the'one
being whom he believed had impelled
him to the act.
This and more was i'd hs mind during
his long ride to Fair Plains. his jour
ney by coach to Embascadero, his mid
night passage across the dark waters of
Francisco-but what should be his fu-
ture was still unsettled.
AS he wound around the crest Of Rus
sian hill and looked down again upon
the awakened city he was startled to
see that it was huttering and streaming
with bunting! From every public
building and hotel from the roofs Of
private houses, and even the windows
Of lonely dwellings tapped and waved
the striped and starry banner. The
steady breath of the sea carried it out
from masts and yards of ships at their
wharves-from the battlements of the
forts at Alcatez and Yerba Buena. He
remembered that the ferrymen had told
him that the news from Fort Sumter had
swept the city with convulsion of pa
triotic sentiment, and that there was
no doubt that the state was saved to
the union. He looked down upon IL with
haggard and bewildered eyes-and then
a strange gasp and fullness of his
throatl For afar solitary bugle had
blow--the ''reveille" at Fort Alcatrez.
