AN oppoRT1JND ARn1vAI,


There was q sound of high words in
the hall; the door was thrown open, and
an old man with hair and beard as white
as snow, ragged garments, and faded
straw hat. struggled past sentry who
was endeavoring to hold him back, and
rushed into the room. We all looked as
tonished at an intruder who showed SO
little Difference for the commander-in-
chief. The old man stood for moment
casting rapid glances from one to an
other, evidently in search. then his eyes
became fixed on Mellodew, who from
the first moment of the strangers en-
trance had shrunk away, endeavoring
to conceal himself behind the others,
chattering and grinning like fright
ened ape. The old man tore off his hair
and beard, revealing the features of
Corporal PUNK.
"You white-livered hound!"
Corporal Plunk!" exclaimed Marga-
ret and at breath.
Corporal" said Gen. Heath, "you are
in the presence of the general-in-chief. .
PUNK Strengthened up and brought his
hand up to his forehead awkwardly by
way of salute. "You have come too late;
the case is closed"
"Closed, general? Closed without my
story? Closed without my SEEM that
animated tombstone where he SO nearly
placed me? Dead men tell no tales,
Enoch, but I'm not dead. Do you see
that hand, that arm? They're to pull

Come, corporal, the general-in-chief
wishes to know of the military situa-
ton. Private Mellodew has charged

"One moment" he said, addressing
the general-in-chief. II have bit of
evidence to submit in my behalf. But
first let me speak word with refer
ence to my past relations with Maj.
Berante. We were classmates at West
Point, and afterwards stationed at the
same fort on the Atlantic coast. Be-
ing Of Spanish extraction, he inherited
Spaniard's passion for gambling, and
thereby got into trouble. AS command
ant of the post it became my duty to
confine him in one of the classmates,
and since then he cherished for me no
great friendship. The spring of 1861
found us again together ut post in
Texas-I in command, Berante second.
Secessionists in a neiRhboring town
were preparing to surround and cap
ture our little force. Fortunately, the
mayor was at heart union man, and
secretly aided me to thwart the de-
signs of the conspirators. had been
informed from Washington that q
transport would be sent to the coast
of Texas to remove my command, and
I relied upon the mayor to stave off an
attack by diplomacy till the arrival Of
the ship, and to inform me of its COM
ing; information that could only be
furnished me clandestinely.

Neither of these witnesses would
gain credence in court of law, both
of them being much interested to save
your life. Is there not some one whose
testimony is unbiased?"
"There is one, but you cannot sum-

"Why not2"
"He is confederate officer within the

DO you know where he is now?"

Tennessee river not far from here"

II do not wish It,"
The general-in-chief looked at Mar
garet, surprised. His eyes plainly asked
an explanation.
"He would bring evidence" Mar
garet said at last, "of the guilt of one
who has told me he is inoncent."
The words, spoken in clear, soft
voice, a simple assertion of confidence
in one who had never given her the ben
eft of single doubt, seemed re-
Duke from Heaven. Gen. Heath bent
his head. He seemed dazed. Though
all the vigor of his persuasive tongue
was needed at this critical moment in
one great effort to ward off the calam-
ity that had been brought about by
his incredulity, he seemed in no condi-
ton to make a protest. The command
er-judge waited for him to speak, but,
as he did not, spoke himself to Mar
garet.
81 cannot consider evidence you are
unwilling to produce. The evidence
that has been brought forward in your
behalf is not only simple oral testi-
mony, but the testimony of those deep
ly interested in you. The facts are
all against you. First, you were caught
with the plans in your hands; second,
you visited the enemy while under pa
role, presumably to bear information;
last, your statement as to the north
ward movement of Longstreet's army
is contradicted by written order. My
sympathies are with you, for you have
spoken with the semblance of truth.
While / would gladly serve you, this
does not seem to be matter which ad-
mits of any interference on my part.
A court has heard the evidence and has
convicted you. I have listened to re-
hearing, and cannot see how they could
have done otherwise than convict you"
Margaret stood pale but calm.
"And l must die?"
Gen. Heath, who had been standing
as if lost in some dread dream of the
past, at these words reused himself,
shook off the stupor that had chained
him, and in firm, loud voice, said:
"Can Maj. Bernal Berante."
For the love of heaven! Has the man
broken down under the strain? Is he
losing his reason? started towards
him and laid my hand on his arm.
General, Maj. Berante is not here"
'Maj. Berante is here. You will find
him across the hall. He has come,

The Climate of Cape Colony.

The climate of the Cape Colony. and
indeed of South Africa, may be com
pared to that of the south of Europe
and the north of Africa, with frost
and snow on the highest lands and
subtropical belts on the lowest lying
parts. as in Natal. Zululand and Mas
honaland. 1t may be roughly said that
any part of South Africa is better for
those suffering from chest complaint
than is the climate of our home coui-
try, at the most trying time of the year.
But those who come TO South Africa
hoping to escape from this disease
should not as a general rule delay on
the coast.
The Cape peninsula is delightful for
most people. but it is not by any means
best for those who are constitutionally
inclined to consumption. They must
leave the coast. no matter how many
inducements there may be for them
to stay. and climb the tableland which
faces them ut whatever port they may
land. AT irregular distances from the
sea we have probably nowhere more
than hundred miles of low-lying
coast lands before we ascend Once on
the tableland, so far as climate goes,
it matters not in what direction health
seekers proceed, the climate is equally
good.

The influence of the geomancers ex-
tends from the King to his humblest
subjects, and illustrates the cunning
and simplicity which are combined in
the Corean character. These profes-
sional oracles are consulted on all oc-
casions by all sorts of people. The
King never thinks of doing anything
without first asking their opinion.
They are more important to him than
legal advisers to railways and Other
corporations that employ them. and
they are notoriously corrupt, and their
advice is always influenced by the pay
ment of money.
If any one desires to obtain a favor
from the King, he usually endeavors 20
secure the good Offices of the gcom-
ancer who is likely to be consulted. and
the amount of the bribe corresponds 10
the importance Of the matter. While
the geomancer pretends to consult the
spirits and observe the movements OF
the stars. his client knows that it is
the money that governs his action.
Nevertheless. when the client is re-
quired to perform some official act, he
consults the same old humbug, VINO
has been bribed by some one else TO
influence his decision. and he is per-
fectly aware of the fact.

There is no longer any doubt that a

Senator Quay's friends admit this. They

The Democrats and anti-Quay Republi-

Condition of Working Psople

A stricking Illustration of the differ.
ence i'll the condition of the working
people of Europe and those of Ameri,
ca is furnished by contrasting the
steerage passengers who go West with
those that go East on the big Atlantic
steamers. Steamship doctors say that
on the westward voyage they are al
ways compelled to use many gallons OF
dsinfectants in the steerage. On the
eastward voyage they use none. EN-
igrants from Europe to the United
States are headed together like so
many cattle, and live in way that
would disgrace noble animals. After
two or three years in America. when
they go back to their homes, they de.
mand clean quarters and comfortable
hunks and the use of bathroom.
When they go West they carry their be-
longlngs tied up in handkerchief or
jammed into "A bag. When they 20
East they have good trunk, and some,

Manila Hemp.

Every engineer knows what Manila
hemp is, but few are aware that it il
the product of a species of banana
which Is cultivated In certain localities
in the Philippine Islands. The plant,
called by the natives "abaca," throws
up cluster of sheating leaf stalks to
height of twenty or thirty feet, which
spread out at the top into a crown of
huge, undivided leaves. When ii IS
three years old it is cut down, and the
stalks are torn into strips. These
strips, while still fresh are drawn bn.
tween a knife and a wooden block. AMI
the soft celluious matter is removed.
The fibre is then hung up to dry in the
open air until it is fit for use. Each
stalk gives about pound of fibre. and
two natives will turn out about twenty
five pounds day. The inside fibre,
which is thin and weak, is used by the
natives for making articles of dress.
The familiar Manila rope is made from
the fibre of the outer layer. which Is
hard and strong. The whole supply of
Manila hemp practically comes from
the Philippines, and the United States
consume II per cent of it. Last year
this country took 417,473 bales out OF
the $50, ,020 bales exported. Great Brit
ain coming next with 3S5, 1872 bales
The continent of Europe took 22,31J
bales
