upon me. Of course, he would have to be told of the incident of the suspicious stranger. and told at once, with the pos sibility quite within reason that he would decide to seek a new asylum without delay. In that case I might find myself bidding Mrs. Loring and her niece an unceremonious adieu, or I might be left behind with my chief source of revenue cut off In either event I should be heavy loser. And. worst of all, I could devise no way in which to shake off my helplessness. A hint as to the identity of the stranger had suggested itself as soon as Carpen- ter attempted to portray the man. So far as it went, his description fitted the new farmland as it probably fit ted half the traInps in that region. While the story threw suspicion upon the fellows motives, and might prove most useful as warning, it was not, of course, in itself sufficient to warrant demand for his discharge. The out come of all of these unsatisfactory re- factions was determination to lay the matter before the person most interest ed, and to abide wholly by his judg- ment.
 Early in the evening, anxious to be done with bad business as speedily as possible, I visited Lamar and told him all I had heard or surmised. He listened to the story with the closest attention, asked a few questions as to the appear ance of the man under suspicion, and then, putting calmly on his eternal cigar, sat in silence for several mo- ments, seemingly undisturbed by the possibility of new complication in his affairs.
 "Well," said I, at last, no longer able to restrain the question, ''what are we to do?''
 For the present-noth:ng As it is said: 'Forewarned is forearmed.'
 But this uncertainty must be cleared up. You know better than I can why this man may have come here, provided, 1 of course, that he has any designs upon you. It's all theory, you understand, but it is strange that he should be work ing for Mrs. Weston at very low wages, | unless he has some particular reason for desiring to be in this neighborhood. Were employment his only object, he could do far better in the village. The more think it over, the plainer it seems 1 he wants to be where he can keep an eye on this house."
 Ut is probable"
 "Then," said I, puzzled by his indif- l ference, ''can't something be done to checkmate him?"
 ''It is not necessary. He is of this country?"
 "At least, I'll warrant English is his native tongue"
 1.-The case, then, is simple. He labors under mistake"
 But even that mistake may cause trouble" protested.

 That's all right Carpenter re- sponded, with the air of man who feels that he has dcne his duty. Say, how's the hoss suitin' yer?"

washington's wOOing.

George Washington was a colonel
when he first met Mrs. Custis. He
was on his way 10 Williamsburg to see
the Governor when ne was met by a
Mr.. Chamberlayne, who owned plan
tation along the way, and was asked To
stop and dine with him. Washington
replied that his business was urgent,
and he was only persuaded when Cham
berlayne told him that he had young
widow visiting him who was rich and
fair to look upon. be finally accepted,
saying that it could be only for dinner,
aud that, the meal over, he mus; hasten
On TO Williamsburg by moonlight. He
then threw the reins of his horse to
Bishop, lis 55dy servant, and told him
10 wait for mis- return.
Dinner being over, the Virginia colo
mel was so pleased with his company
that he was in no hurry to go. He for
got all about poor Bishop and his horse
and accepted an invitation to remain
over night. 1t was, it may be said, a
ease of love at first sight. Washington
went on TO Williamsburg the next day,
and on his return he called at the house
of Mrs. Custis and asked her hand in
marriage. She accepted and they were
married in great style at her home on
the Pamunkey river on the 9th OF jan
uary, 1883. A honeymoon of several
months was spent here and then the
couple took wedding tour to Mount
Washington. - San Francisco ArgO-

Rural Free Delivery.

The fact that the postal appropriation
bill contains an item Of $4,000 for ru-
raj free delivery during the next fiscal
year, which is sl0O, 900 more than has
been available for the purpose during
the present fiscal year, will doubtless
make a large increase in the number Of
Applications TO the department for ex-
tensions OF the service much larger
number than the appropriation will
provide FOR in the event Of its approval.
1t viii go without saying that $4,000
would be Of small use If an effort were
made to extend rural free delivery to
all who would be glad to have it. 1t Is
one Of the objections in its extension
that those not living in the regions
where it is applied may urge that they
have a. good right as anybody to share
in its benefits, and to charge favoritism
and discrimination in the selection Of
the regions where it is employed. This
IS an objection, however, which moth
ing short Of universal application Of
the system would be sufficient to re-
move, and IS one likely TO be much
Overdone at all stages in the extension
Of the system. II may hasten the ex-
tension OF the system If those interest
ed in its extension will take the person.

Name of Texas.

Mountley S. Stokeley, of Dubuque,
Ia, some time ago wrote Governor Gull
berson, asking why Texas is called the
Lone Star State" The latter has an
swered the request in an elaborate let
ter, giving all the history bearing upon
the subject. The Governor says that
there are only two accounts of the ORR
gin Of the designation. One is that
Henry Smith, the first Chief Execu-
tive of the Texas republic, having no
seal with which to stamp official docu-
ments, cut a brass button from his coat,
on which was engraved star, and used
this As a seal. Another, supported by
John Henry Brown, the Texas histo-
rian, and Governor Culberson, is that
the lone star was chosen by the young
republic in contrast to the constellation
used by the United States. The Gov
ernor concludes: 'The first Congress of
the republic OF Texas met October 3,
1886, and during the session adopted a
flag and a seal which are those now in
use by the State. The flag is of red,
white and blue, with five-pointed sin
gle star of white, and the seal is star
surrounded with wreath of laurel and
oak. The conclusion is entirely reason
able and logical that the flag and seal
of Texas were originally suggested by
those flags of her revolutionary war, in
spired themselves by the American in
sigma of sovereignty, and that the des-
ignatiOn of the Lone Star State comes
from the use of a single star on her
standard. .n-Springfield Republican.

Color of Sin.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
At a recent meeting of the Methodist
Ministerial Association, held in the
pariors of the Meridian Street MethO-
dist Cnurch, Rev. J. W. Milan said that
he had recently come across a very in
teresting discovery, made by someone
working in the Smithsonian Institu-
ton. The discovery related to the col
or of sin. Several of tie ministers
present said the color Of siG was scar
let, because the Bible said so. Mr. Mi
Ian replied that the scientist who had
made this investigation had discovered
that sin has distinct color Of its own
He has, by means Of a chemical process,
examined the psrspiratiOn Of persons
aroused to sinful passions. When this
was subjected u a certain test the per-
spiratiOn became pinkish in color. He
had made more than forty experiments
and in every instance the result was the
same. The perspiration coming from
persons not und~r the influence Of evil
passions does not have this color. Thus
ne is Leo TO believe that sin Is in color .
peculiar sickly pink-a pink that rath-
er has q wicked look Of its own. Dr..
Milan regarded this as another instance
where science agreed with religion, for
the Bible frequently refers to the color
Of sin, its reference to scarlet being used
for the reason that that e0Ior was found
the most difficult Of all dyes to remove.
By a close study Of the Bible many sec
tions can be found winch strengthen
the claim that sin has a color Of is
own, and that that color is something
on the order Of pink.

President Adams Trees.

Thousands Of Americans travel far to
visit the White House and walk
through its grounds, yet few of them
know the most interesting fact con-
nected with the place, that is, that
John Quincy Adams, when he was
President, planted most of its fine trees.
President Adams was full of energy;
for months he made a practice of swim
ming across the Potomac every day /;
then he took to walking around the
Capitol square for an hour every morn
ing; then he found the best exercise Of
all in attending to the planting Of the
White House grounds with trees; they
were very bare in this respect, and he
went into the whole science aud art of
plantation with an enthusiasm very
like Sir Walter Scott's on the same
subject He was then 50 years old, but
he wrote about the growth Of his oaks
and chestnuts as eagerly as a school
boy would about hunting.

Getting Ready in Earnest.

From the 81 Louis Globe-DemocraL
Now that congress has seriously be
gun the work OF war preparation
proper settlement of the Cuban troubles
becomes a possibility. Spain now
knows that her threats can have 20
further effect than TO spur this country
to make ready for the conflict. 1t is
within our power to render the odds
against Spain overwhelming, and that
is the best plan TO pursue. The Madrid
government has aseertained that the
American people are unit in the con-
victiOn that the reign of atrocities has
lasted long enough. Ifnothing but in
tervention will free Cuba, then it has
in the United States = practically uuan-
imous support. Temporizing measures
to wait upon the result Of halfway con-
cessions have had their day. There
can be no peace in Cuba without inde-
pendenee. Nor will anything less
avert collision between the United
States and Spain. When Cuba is free
the pressure from this nation will end.
Spanish diplomacy stopping short Of
that is time wasted. Cuba has been
the victim ofmerciless oppressors loag
enough. The condition Os the island,
which grows worse constantly, has also
entailed upon US enough of loss and
danger
Spain continues to send troops to
Cuba. Fifteen hundred arrived this
week and several thousand during the
last month. Spanish armed ships are
gathering within 100 miles Of our terri
tory. 1t was high time for congress to
take up the question OF coast defense in
an energetic spirit. Some Of the mod
ern heavy guns require more than a
year for construction. Artiilerisis 10
handle them must be trained for
months. Our weakest point is in our
many harbors. The exposure to dis
aster along our coasts would be worse
but for the quiekness with which sub
marine mines may be planted and
hostile ships assailed with toFpedoes.
The supply Of devoted men to handle
torpedoes with the fearlessness OF
Cushing IS unlimited.
Our navy at this time should be large
enough 20 crush the ships Of Spain at a
blow. If We had two fleets, each larger
than that of Spai8, there would proba-
bly, be no war. When Spain purchases
battleship we should purchase sew
eral. 1t would be prudent to replace
the Maine at once with two or three
similar vessels. As for land operations,
our superiority after due organization
is all that could be asked. Spanish
troops in Cuba would be between two
fires, with the base Of supplies thou
sands Of miles away. II IS important
in ease OF war to make every blow
struck ct Spain pFOportionate 10 the
greatness Of our resources. Let the au-
thorities proceed rapidly with the work
Of preparation. And let il be equally
kept in mind that nothing short Of in
dependence can he Of the least benefit
to Cuba, nor satisfy The just demands
of our own people.

Fled tC the Swamp.

Prom Youths Comparison.
During the first year of the revolu-
tiOnary war the most conflicting and
alarming reports spread to the remote
country towns. In the History Of
Windham County" Conn, there is a
description Of serious panic which oc-
CURED AZ Thompson as result of such
rumors. A sauey boy was knocked
down by suspected Tory. At the
same time courier from Boston rode
through the town, too much in haste to
answer questions. Soon dreadful sto-
ries were afiOat.
II is said that the patriots homes
were in danger; that ''Malbone's mig
gers" were coming, burning and slaugh-
tering. "The Tories are coming! The
Tories are eomingr was the cry every
where.
Not a man was left at home save the
old and paralytic, and they had no
arms, no ammunition. Flight seemed
the only resource, and a dismal, miry
swamp was selected as the place of ref
uge. a boy was sent to rally all the
neighbors. He ran to Larned's store,
then IA well-known business centre.
Mrs. Larned, who was in charge, was
not one 70 run from the face Of dan
ger.
\ big fire was blazing in the huge
kitchen fireplace, kettles Of water were
heating, and every iron implement that
could be mustered was on the Goals, and
with hot water and hot irons she in-
tended to make stand against the in-
vaders. "Old Granny Leavens''-the
aged widow Of the first William Lar
ned, OF ThompsOn-was with her, and
was equally resolute. She had surviv-
ed several Indian wars and two hus-
bands.
"If am to be killed by the Tories to-
night, why, then, 1 shall be" she ex-
claimed, 80 I'll cen stay with Becky"
The example Of these two women had
10 effect upon their weaker sisters, al
ready in full flight. "Tell Becky" they
retorte2, that hot irons viii never do
for the British" They hurried of to
the swamp, panic stricken company.
Uncle Asa, lame old man, was suf-
fering from a disease incident upon ex-
cessive flip drinking.
"Thither," he complained, as he hob
bled along. "Thither, Pve forgot my
plathter. Oh dear! Oh dearl
Hurry up, Asa, OF you'll never put
a plaster on your knees again in this
world" answered his sister.
The swamp was so damp, moist and
unpleasant" that all could join with
Aunt Nabby in her heartfelt ejaeula-
ton, "rd give a wedge of gold as big
as my foot FOR one good dram"
The unfortunate old people, too feeble
for flight were in still more pitable
condition. One bedridden old woman,
who had not stood on her feet for years,
and was forgotten in the furry and left
at home alone, managed to crawl out Of
bed and stow herself away in the cup
board An old captain, trembling with
palsy, barricaded the door and valiant
ly held it with a pitchfork.
The night passed. Nothing was heard
OF MalbOne or other marauders. In the
morning the wearied fugitives stole
back rom the swamp. Their fright
and flight and ridiculous sayings were
tod al over the town, and even carried
10 camp, giving the soldiers a hearty
laugh amid all their uncomfortable sur
roundings and forebodings.
