mt dorsey CITY.

Mt Jersey City.
There was an express train to start
for Washington in an hour. and no
other one until the next morning. The
impatience of Madame de Glacie to see
her daughter would, upon no account,
admit of twelve hours delay. So,
without allowing her youn gattorney
time to call and see his friends, or
even to cross over to the city, she, and
in fact, the whole party, took the ex-
press to Washington that afternoon.
We have already seen how lucky
they We're in meeting Captain Fuljoy
at their hotel in Washington; how
prompt they were In hurrying down to
Fuljoy's Island; and how overwhelmed
with CONSERVATION, sorrow and des-,
pair at the intelligence that met them
there.
You have heard how MADAME de
Glacie. the first to recover from the
terrible shock, and to doubt the fact
OF the murder Of Astrea, resolved to
remain and prosecute her investiga-
tons In the neighborhood of the isle,
while she sent her young attorney to
advertise the missing girl through all
the principal cities of the Union.
Young Welby Dunbar first went to
New York. One city was as good as
another to begin with, and he was
really very impatient to see Mrs. Gre
vile and Miss Howard, make his i'm
portant disclosure to them, and learn
upon what terms he was henceforth
to remain with them.
This question gave him, and had al
ways given him, the greatest uneasi-
ness; it was the only trouble Of his
young life! And now that the prob
lem approached its solution, this un-
easiness was augmented to the most
poignant anxiety! He loved, admired
and hOnored Mrs. Greville, and was
very proud of her as his adopted
mother. 1t would be terrible to him
to lose their affection and esteem! But
Lois Howard was the star Of his life!
Hesloved her with all the passion of
his soul! She was, also, his betrothed
bride! 10 lose her! He could conceive
no possibility of a future life on this
planet for himself after such crush
ing calamity.
II he We're to suppress this disclosure
only for few weeks. he might marry
her, and make her and her fortune IT.
revocably his own!
If he should make the disclosure, he
might. and probably would, lose her
forever!
Yet it was his duty to make it. and
so, come what would of calamity, it
must be made!
In the midst Of his keen personal
anxiety he did not forget tn ebusiness
of Madame de Glacie. He had arrived
in the city late at night. But immedi-
ately after breakfast the next morning
lie went out aud distributed among the
daily papers a carefully-worded adver-
tisement, Offering reliable reward
for reliable information regarding the
missing girl. This duty occupied all
the morning. At noon he returned to
his hotel. took a slight repast, made
fresh toilet. and set out to call upon
Mrs. Greville, at the earliest hour that
LADY was expected to be visible

KlOndike SuDerstition.

The Klondike is rapidly becoming
treasure field for romances as well as
Tor gold-diggers. The latest tale is of
a ghost-guarded mine on Bonanza
creek, where, in 1896, while standing
near the shaft, two partners had a
quarrel, during which one of the men
was pushed into the pit and killed.
A few days afterward the survivor be-
came insane and died; he had seen his
partners spirit-had been haunted to
the death. Since then number of
bold miners have endeavored to work
the claim, but the unearthly shrieks
and demoniac noises have invariably
caused them to flee in terror. 1t is
hard work to rob the old-time miner of
his belief in ghosts; nor does it take
much experience to fill the breast of
the tenderfoot with similar regard for
the uncanny.

FARMING AS PROFESSION.

There is no interest involving so
much, no business of such magnitude
and no profession of such importance
that has been so neglected as that of
the farmer. Agriculture is one of the
most vitality important occupations Of
the day, but for some strange reason
has until recently been thrust aside
and it's best development has been re-
tarded by the apathy of scientists and
investigators who have not realized
that upon the product of the soil the
prosperity of the country depends.
OF late this subject has been receiv-
ing much more attention, and it is to
be hoped that in future it will assume
its rightful place among the arts and
sciences. When the farming commun-
ityS prospers the whole country does
we'll. Good prices for wheat, corn and
cattle mean free circulation of money
and plenty of business for merchant
and mechanic alike. When the farm
er gets nothing for his crops, the coun-
try storekeeper finds hard lines in his
business. All Industries languish, for
at the fountain head there is no supply.
1t is one of the fundamental rules Of
existence that the earth must bring
forth her increase. When natural law
is igrcred or violated, the consequence
es cannot but be disastrous. Men
build factories, establish warehouses,
conduct stores and follow professions
to obtain the necessary food to sustain
life. A large portion of this food must
come from the hands of the farmer and
to him the whole world looks for an
abundant supply.
Farming has never received the at
tention from education that it deserves
It is not too much to expect that when
science and art have completed some
of the studies which they have begun,
this most important branch of human
affairs will rise to the dignity Of a
learned profession, and that the farm
er will as a natural consequence be-
come one of the most important and
highly educated members of the in
dustrial army.

A 100000 BOOK FOR sI2.
One Dollar Down and One Dollar In In
stallments Buys 1t.

Every person that can read should
own dictionary. Every one that owns
dictionary should own the very best
dictionary. Until quite recently there
had been very wide divergence OF
opinion as to the best dictionary. We
believe that the advent of the Standard
Dictionary settles the question for a
century to come, at least. Its claims to
superiority over other photographed
and pathological works may be briefly
summed up as follows: Q) 1t is simple
in it's explanations and is not burdened
with encyclopedia information. (2) It
defines the word first and then gives
the derivation. (3) 1t gives the COM
mon meaning first and follows with the
historical order, according to usage at
other periods. (4) 1t locates the au-
90 Disputed pronunciations and SPELL
ings are settled beyond doubt. CO. 1t
contains illustrations to enable the stu
dent to gain clearer knowledge of the
words. CD 1t reduces the compromising
system common to other dictionaries.
90 Obsolete words are omitted, except.
in rare instances. (9) 1t groups handi-
craft and terms under one heading. Q0)
1t gives antonyms as we'll as synonyms.
(11) 1t capitalizes proper names or
proper terms only. (12) 1t contains over
100000 words-more than any other
dictionary extant.
AS whole the Standard Dictionary
is a colossal triumph of the best schol-
arship of our times. It's editors include
many Of the most learned men Of the
century. The cost Of producing such
work must necessarily run up into
the Millions
If one copy only had been printed and
sold, and at small profit, the publish
ers would have to charge at least ST.
100000 for it. Yet all this valuable
information has been placed easily
within reach of the most humble.

his singular position. But there was
little likelihood of such an event, as,
during his residence at Cambridge, he
had avoided forming acquaintances,
and afterward, in going the rounds of
the law courts of Europe he had tray-

EARLY in the spring, to his great as

SOUTH CAROLINA
REGIMENTS.
The First Will be Mustered
Out, But Major Earle Will
be Provided for.

Washington, Sept 7.-South Caro-
lima volunteers are striving to be re-
tanned in the army, while troops from
other States are pleading to be mus
tered out of the service. Unless
some unlocked for influence is
brought to bear upon the secretary of
war the 1st regiment of South Caro-
lima troops will be mustered out in
accordance with recent order pro
mulgased by Adj Gen Corbin
There seems to oe a conflict of evl-
dence as to tie desire Of the men of
the 1st regiment. Yesterday. Lieut..
Col. Tillman. called at the war de-.
partment, and presented a petition,
purporting to be signed by 600 or
700 men of the regiment, requesting
to be mustered oct To day Major
John Earle, of the same regiment.
called upon the President and the
secretary of war, and urged that the
1st regiment be retained in the ser
vice. Tie stated that majority of
the men had signed Col Tillman's
petition under a m;sapprehension,
and if vote of the regiment is fairly
taken it will be found that nearly all
of the men are anxious to remain in
the service When this statement
was made to Adjt Gen Corbin by
Major Earle. Gen. Corbip said the
policy of the government is to give
the troops who entered the service
6rst the first chance to get out. He
added that be had received numerous
letters from members Of the lst regi.
ment asking to be mustered out. I'm.
less the President directs otherwise,
the Is, regiment will be mustered out
in accordance with the expressed
desires of majority of the regiment
as set forth in Sol Tillman's petition
1t is asserted by some Of those who
dc not desire the lst regiment mus
tered out that it is political move to
get the members of that regiment
home in time to take all active part
in the second primary election for
governor From the same source
comes the suggestion that the I'd reg
iment, but recently mustered into the
service, should go out and allow the
lst to remain in When the I'd re
giment was ordered to be mustered
in few weeks ago, it was the dis
tinct understanding between The
President, Secretary AIger. Senator
McLaurn and Col Willie Jones. that
the I'd regiment would be wiling to
remain in the service and perform
garrison duty in Cuba or Porto Rico
for the privilege of being mustered
in under the circumstances. The lst
having asked to be mustered out, and
the I'd expressed a willingness to re-
main IL. the order Of the Secretary OF
Wa, seems to be just.
