The Nashville Exposition.
CThe Danville Register.)

Southern expositions have done much
for the South. The New Orleans and
Atlanta shows, while they lost money on
the actual business In hand, were worth
their cost hundred Zines over in the
after effects upon southern development
and southern prosperity. We hope the day
is not far distant when there shall be a
great international exposition at Rich
mond. Next year, however, the southern
exposition is 10 be at Nashville. Tenn,
and IS 10 be known as the Tennessee
Centennial and International Exposition.
1T is 10 be equal TO IL not 10 exceed the
Atlanta show, and progressive states are
already preparing their exhibits.
The Virginia Legislature has been ask
ed to appropriate small sum as nu-
cleus for a fund TO give Virginia decent
note that many members OF the Lesis-
lature are opposed TO the bill appropriate
ing 1880 for this purpose. Ten times
that amount could be well spent In THIS
way, the main object being 20 induce
immigration and industries TO Virginia
to develop her resources and give her
the place she Is by nature entitled 10
among the progressive and wealth-pro-
ducing States.
The old Commonwealth should be repre-
scented al Nashville, and should exhibit
something else besides relics of Colonial
and Revolutionary times.
Ii the Legislature Will vote even,
small appropriation, We are sure that the
Southern railway, the Norfolk and West
srn. the Chesapeake and Ohio. and other
roads would supplement II with large
sums. and large exhibits all OF which

yet, closer upon the pirate. "Your

''Fool!" sneered the pirate, with
scorn expressed in his scowling feat

other spoke. II told you all that
night; and what were my thanks? I

virtue OF your lovely wife, and you

out between his teeth, and, at the mo-
ment of uncomfortable excitement
and hatred, he wrenched the pistol
from his breast and fired.
The shot failed; it's echoes rebounded
from the rocks above, and the fiend-
ish laugh of Meghorn replied to them,
as his sword flashed like lightning
above his head, and he threw himself
fercely upon his adversary.
At that moment q hollow sound
issued from the rocks-a LOUD split
ting noise, as it rent asunder, and a
heavy mass came crashing to the
earth. There was q shrek, an oath,
a cry at the last for mercy; then all
was still. and when Aaron Franklen
recovered from the momentary alarm
that had paralyzed his senses, he be
held bleeding and unsightly corpse,
half covered by the fallen rock, one
arm extended, still grasping the sword
that had so lately threatened his eX-
iStenCe.
It Was all that remained Of the nj
rate Meghorn.

1t was not only the terrible NAL
formation of the limb, the hand being
bent and twisted, the fingers stunted
and cramped, and destitute OF the
beast shape or purpose of utility; but,
dreadful to behold! around the wrist
ran broad red mark having at that
moment the appearance OF newly
made cut, from which the blood
seemed just about to start. She
made feint of unconsciously
arranging the buds, it was but
q feint, for the stricken member

sire of it's owner
1t was but few moments her compan-
ion looked upon the CHASTITY sight, but
that was enough; and, as she drew on
the glove again he turned away, NUT
tering something about hoping to
have the pleasure another day.
She would not, as she might have
done, take advantage Of his discom-
future to expose to himself his shallow
heart; but, as he trifed with the
books upon the table, trembling with
haste to get away, she even helped
him with an apology, and, with thanks
for herself and her mother, ''must de-
cline his considerable offer"
Then, with regrets studiously polite,
the honorable gentleman bowed him
self out and rode off, swearing to HIM
self that "By Jove, the girl must be
bewitchedl A splendid cweature, and
all that; but, by Jove! aw-turn a

CHAPTER Ii.
VENGEANCE.

For some moments the men stood
cycling each other in silence, as strange
thoughts fitted rapidly through the
mind of each.
Saul spoke first.
'Treachery," he gasped; chase, I'M
worthy deception; for what purpose
are you here?"
"There comes a time" Aaron re-
piled, still in that low, frigid, meas
ured tone which might have been that
of the apparition the pirate had at
first assuredly supposed him-"there
comes a time when all villains turn
fools as we'll, that those they have
wronged may obtain satisfaction. |
hardly dared to hope my shallow
scheme might succeed, but it has, and
you are here"
'What do you want? what would
you have of me?' Meghorn asked, all
his old stern and implacable nature
returning.
"What!" was the bitter retort Of
the other. Suppose I were to ask Of
you my ruined home, my injured
happiness and honor, nay, my life
for in all intent you had it? Suppose I
were to call upon you only to atone
for this?" He threw aside his cloak,
and held out a manned arm, amputa-
ted above the wrist. ''For years Of
painful, anxious weary life, made
hateful by your crime and treachery,
you ask me what seek. Hal With
a powerful effort he controlled the
impulse which would have urged him
to rush upon his enemy; yet he still
clasped the hilt of his pistol, and
Saul, whose fierce eyes glittered with
fury, had half drawn his cutlass from
its resting-place.
"'These things are long past" he
said, hurriediy; ''why recall them?"
"Past!" retQrted the other. can
injury such as'mine is never past. 1t
grows in the memory of it, and the
last recollection of it is more frightful
even than the first. But with me it
has never slumbered. [ tell you,
Saul Meghorn, pirate, william, murder
er as you are, l would have had your
life within the year of that night you
cast me bleeding and mangled,
a corpse as you believed,
down yonder cliff; but the
Providence that saved me destined
that | should be taken far from this
country; and when returned it was
to find her" He stopped; the
words seemed choking him-''To find
the confirmation OF all that you
had told me- You may thank the
wretched woman, whom your villany
seduced, for your life SO far. You
werc spared for her sake. But it is
long since | found that you were again

DO NOT LIKE IT.
French Press Comments Unfavorab1y ON
the United States, Action.

CHO OnlC0O LACC1OAe
Paris, May 12.-The Figaro, referring
to the attitude of the United States
towards Cuba, says this morning: "The
authorities since the outbreak of the re-
volt have observed an attitude of de-
iance toward Spain and support of the
insurgents They ought to consider that
Europe will not sanction this mode Of
action. If the Monroe doctrine permits
the Americans to drive the Spaniards
from Cuba it also permits them to turn
the French and the British out of their
possessions in the Antilles"
The Soleil, commenting on the same
subject, remarks: "The United States
has no more right to interfere in the
affairs of Spain than to mix themselves
up with the affairs of Guadalupe, Mar
Unique and Guiana. If Spain loses
Cuba it will be a terrible Blow to Eu-
ropean influence in the Antilles"
The Matin says: Europe will protest
unanimously against the continual inter-
ference of Americans in matters which
do NOT concern them. The United States
government does not gain credit by plead
ing in the prisoners case without extern
uating circumstances"
The Gaulois expresses the opinion that
the steps taken by the United States in
the Cuban question are not of nature
to facilitate it's settlement.

A NEAT PROPOSAL.
How Bloobumper Secured His
Spouse.


The company had been discussing
different ways of popping the question
and nearly every one had related his
or her experience, or that Of some
body else.

man named.

II shan't mind" Mrs. Bloobumper
added, and then her husband went
on:
"When l was counting Nellie, an
other young man named Higgins was
also paying her a good deal of atten-
ton. | was pretty sure | was pre-
ferred before Higgins, but still Iwasn't
absolutely certain, and I didn't give
