a pretty picture at the stair head /
rocollected how years before in Virginia
1 once had made furious love TO this
very girl
"Jacki Jack Champer''
''Eh. Priscilla And why, mistress.
are you not in bed2'
1.-THE truth is" said she, blushing.
''I'ye been thinking and pondering"
"Of lover9' said 1. trying to phrase
some pleasing, nonsensical gallantry.

"0f me. Prisoilla?'
"Ah. of you, who have made the
whole town believe in you But me-
not a whit"
"And why2" said /. growing impa-
tient, for heard General Arnold 8 step
''I must speak to the general, begging
your pardon"
"Why?" she asked. putting the can
die close to my face. Liar, you are
not what you seemi' Her voice had
changed SO suddenly that lost my wit
"Priscillai'
You never deserted General Wash

Mistress Priscilla''
"You are here a spy-to betray Cen
eral Arnold
''Ah. mistress, but he is worse, /" said
1 with sudden earnestness-
He has treated you kindly. John
Champe"
You have the fancy Of silly maid. -
cried L LET me go L must follow
General Arnold into the garden.
Again she raised the candle a bit.
From below was the fddler's merry
jig.
"Why?''
1 trembled under those gray, ques-
tioning eyes. and she read my plot az
easily as l had told her. 1t al had gone
well mp to this moment My man was
behind the paling. The boat waited
Colonel Lee across the river expected
us And here this slip of girl had il
some way found the intention
Il will explain later. Now
She put the candle ON the table

| And why, unasked?" Eaid l. tryinl
to treat the matter lightly.
At this she pulled from her bosom
letter in Major Harry's own hand, will
the damning evidence She had me il
her power as neatly as she could wish
had dropped it somewhere in the house
Cursing my carelessness, remembers

"But does it lessen your blackness

"Give me up, them" said at las
deiantly. "Give me up

girl at this
"How could it profit your" asked ]
trying to pacify her.

She stood there, her hands thrust be

1t Was Pretty Yellow.

sF our jealous neighbor, the Record
er. can reach it's readers in this city,
every evening. with n good sum-
mary Of war news. that would be on
every account a useful arrangement
Only. the Recorder ought to mike gute
that IL gets the real article in the
way of news. Yesterday 1t pleasantly
announced that "in these exciting war
times the Recorder proposes to be
right in IT," and that 1t appeared with
the first issue OF it's own special serv-
ice from New York.
The unfortunate truth is that the
Recorder was right in 1t" with the
yellowest collection of lines we have
seen. our evening neighbor had IL
that. i'm his message about the Maine,
the president expressed his opinion that
Spain will make ample reparation"
and that ''he asks congress to walt.
That is wrong; the president in MS
message didn't express n opinion oil
the sort, nor did he ask congress to
wait.
In the concluding item of its serV
Ice tnt INttbIutI
that IL is ..all off until October and
that Spain accepts h agreement oil
the United States to submit to arbitra'
ton the question of ending the Cubar
war" That's the armistice crazy ru'
NOR. 1t was promptly denied in tn
press service for yesterday afternoon
papers.
We shall be glad to compliment GU
evening neighbor on a good telegraph
service but. honor bright. the fellow
who operated yesterday the New ior'
end of the Recorders service is alto
gether too giddy for the altitude oil TN
region in which the Standard ana Tn
Recorder live. He must think that W
people in the mountains don't knoV
what's what.

Two Broken Premiers.

~HE report. nov accepted as au-
thentic, tina the Marquis of SAL
isbury is soon TO take much
lighter labors han those of premier, Is
another reminder that i'm these stirring
times our own secretary OF state has
next TO nothing to do with the inter-
national questions that fill the mind of
the public. The English premier is out
OF health-in London il IL insisted that
he is too old and too much weighed
down TO meet England's requirements.
The same is said OF our John Sherman
and. TO all appearance, the suggestion
Of physical inability very properly run
against both of them.
In age Secretary Sherman is seven
years the senior Of the Marquis of Sails
bury. but il happens hat both of them
began their parliamentary career at the
same time. Salisbury entered parlia-
ment in 1855. at the age of tw~enty-four.
That year Sherman was elected to rep
resent an Ohio district in the national
house of representatives,. Both rave
been at ii Eve since. and the situation
that finds both Of them at the head OF
affairs OF state at a moment that is
critical at Washington. as il is equally
In London. finds both Of them broker
down.
Sherman's career at the time of nj,
beginnings with national politics was
more active ard much more interesting
than ~Salisbury's. Sherman began JUS
in time to get a good hold u the events
relating TO the Missouri co1promise re-
pesk<e he bred Scott decisfn, the Kan
sns turmoil and the othf memorabl'
matters Of the hfties. E9Fents that, i

The Part the Press Plays.

~HIS is n fitting time to reminu
the public that the press OF the
country has fully and faithfully
kent pace with the Incidents which b.
gan with the explosion of the Maine
and reached the n of their nfst
CHAPTER in the sending Of the presi-
dents message To the two houses of
congress .
IL goes without saying that the
of the Ian are not to be
held accountable for the reckless SEN
sationalism of certain publications
which have sought to give currency to
rumor and which. indeed. are the in
yentors of many of these wild reports.
In comparison, the number or THESE
journalistic suerrillas is small-you
can count the best-known of them on
less than the fingers of one hand.
The existence Of those publications
Toes not warrant the conclusion
reached by some hasty people who as
sert that 'you can't believe a word the
papers say" on the contrary, the es-
sential news relating to every step In
the Cuban situation has reached the
American public through this u
try's press. and the reports have been
a careful recital of the truth. The
president and his cabinet may have
been i'm possession of many details not
given out, but the newspaper readers
have had the essential facts.
Indeed. the public has had informs.
,i,p duripp many months last past re-
specting the condition of the Cubar5
which the government at Washington
fooIishly, as we believe-has sought TO
withhold. During many weeks the
awful suffering of the patriots on the
island was the subject of news items
which a large public was disposed to
discredit. in the belief that 1t was an
| overdrawn picture.
There is no longer any question on
that score: a cloud of witnesses, includ-
ing some of the administrations most
conservative friends i'm congress, may
be quoted now i'm complete confirma-
ton of what had been reported. Those
who read intelligently-edited newspa-
pers know hat they are getting. day
after day. the information that keeps
them fully in the current of moving
events.

A Terrible

Paris. March 2S.-A terrible tragedy is
reported from Bernais. in the department

He then entered the house and cut the
throat of a little girl. Finally he blew
out the brains of a bed-ridden woman.
