 his officers and their wives.
 A committee of ladies with Mrs. c. T. Hearm at their head, volunteered to dec
 crate the ball room and did so to such good effect that the room was really beautiful. Pink azaleas were used in profusion, and their almost glaring brightness tempered by the green of palms
 and ferns. By the courtesy of Captain
 Reeder the music was furnished by the
 Hartfords band, and most excellent
 music 1t rendered during the entire even mg. From to 10 were the hours pro- scribed. but the time passed 80 pleasant iy that 1t was long after that when the last guests had departed
 Lieutenant Commander Dumbaugh was the host of one of the merriest of din- pers on the Hartford Wednesday even ing. The long table in the ward @ oom

Dissertations of Cemetery.

''In this day and time, thefts from a house or the robbery of a person is so common as to be expected at any and all times,'' said Chief of Police John Case this morning. But to rob the dead Is an unpardonable crime and not to be ex- pected in these days of enlightenment and culture" The remark was induced by the many complaints which have been coming in to his office from persons own ing lots in Magnolia Cemetery.
 In days past reports of depredations Of flowers from graves and plants from the lots in this Gods Acre. were not in- frequent and laws making 1t an offense to do such were enacted and where pos- sible. arrests followed. For a time the complaints ceased, but 1t seems vandals have again appeared and, from some of the complaints made. it would seem that 1t has become a pastime with many.
 Immediately on receipt of the first com plaint Chief Case detailed policeman in civilian attire to watch the cemetery.
 At all times a beautiful flower is tempt ing to the eye and 1t is but natural that a child should pluck just one' to please its taste, but a report reached headquar- ters that whole punches of plants, root and all, had been taken from lot. Chief Case Is determined to put a stop to such practices and has detailed an officer to patrol the grounds.

She Cleared from Mobile
 January 30.
Has Been Due at Her Destination Across the Waters for 6 Month But Nothing Has Been
 Heard of the Vessel.
Advertiser Bureau,

MODUe, MaEcQ 70.
 In the harbormaster office and among persons in shipping circles just now the topic of conversation is the fate of the British steamship Salopia-
 Whether she, like many other craft, has gone down carrying her entire crew with her or whether she became disabled and drifted out of the course of steam ships on the trackless deep, is a matter of grave speculation.
 January A, last. the Salopia arrived up to this port from Pensacola, consigned to the Sutherland-Innes Company partly loaded. Her trip to Mobile was to com plete her cargo. The vessel, a fine, large iron freight steamship. made favorable moored in the stream completing her cargo of timber and lumber for British and German ports. Captain Burgess. her master, was scholarly gentleman and made many friends while in port. January 30. the Salopia cleared at the
 custom house and got away to sea short iy thereafter. on or about February l. | Her cargo consisted of 30,175 cubic feet of | sawn pine timber. for Antwerp. Germany; | 52 437 cubic feet of sawn pine timber and | 1S765 superficial feet of pine lumber for | Avonmouth, England, and B. 232 cubic feet 1 of sawn pine timber and 40,00O superficial l feet of pine lumber for Silloth, England The total cargo was valued at $20240. With the usual weather conditions the | Salopia should have been reported from | the other s1de not later than March l. the time generally allowed for craft of her l size and build of machinery being not | over four weeks from Mobile. The Brit l ish steamship Blackheath. which sailed | from this port for Havre and Southamp- 1 ton. February 3. has already reported | from the last named place sufficiently long to discharge and prepare for the re- | turn trip.
 Captain Evans of the Blackbeath in g. | letter to his personal friend M. J. Dug gan here. states that alarm and uneasi- ness is felt at Southampton for the Salo- pia and. owing to the long overdue time, | the worst Is feared for the steamship and crew. Those best able to judge of the
 sailing qualities of the Salopia say they are satisfied she has gone down in the ocean leaving nothing to tell of her fate | and that of the souls on board. The yes | sel and cargo were insured.

 What is it now?" asked Mrs. Bow ser as her lord entered the house with the whip in his hand and 2:3O clip in his eye.
 "I was offered that family rig out there for $50, and it is worth $500 at the lowest calculation. I picked it up to save $25O and get my health back. The doctor was telling me yesterday that what I needed was country air, and propose to take a ten mile ride every morning before breakfast. I want you to go out with me this after noon to give the horse trial. know you'll be delighted" @
 Have you paid for the rig?
 "Of course .. :> s ss
 "And have got to keep it,?" Naturally. a. Why not2 You don't seem to, be bit enthusiastic. Perhaps you were expecting me to buy camel or yoke of oxen"
 "Are-are you sure you know how to drive horse?' she faltered.
 What in blazes do you mean by that?" he shouted as he cracked the whip and sent the cat bounding out of the room. s:.. :>,:. a.-7,-' 's As the outfit had been bought and paid for Mrs. Bowser decided to say no more for the moment, and the idea of a ride into the country was not un- pleasant. She was ready in ten min utes, and as the front door closed on her she heard the cat wailing in de- spair and made up her mind there would be a tragedy of some sort be- fore she returned. ..:s.
 She had not fancied the looks of the equine from window view, and when she came to approach him closer she realized that MT. Bowser had been. talk en in and done for. The horse was not only poor in flesh and shaky on his legs, but he looked tricky and vicious. As MT. Bowser united the hitch1ng strap his new purchase bit at him in a vengeful way and switched his tail about. ...~> % s"Did you select him for his playful ness" queried Mrs. Bowser as she no- ttced the action. ,
 ''Yes, partly,'' replied Mr. Bowser, whose first impulse was to use the whip. "That is, I didn't want stone or wooden horse. That playful spirit is always a good sign in horse, same as in human being. Now we are off for delightful spin, and you can lay back and enjoy yourself. By George, but this beats riding in a palace car all to pieces! Isn't that splendid gait he's got? Starts right off as if he had twenty pounds of steam on.'' -.r
 Mrs. Bowser didn't lay back and en- joy herself On the contrary, she sat up and watched the horse closely. There was slight limp in one hind leg, he pulled to the right as if blind in the left eye, there was constant click as he overreached and struck a front shoe Added to these things, his ears were laid back close to his head and held there, and now. and then his teeth grated on the bit.
 She also saw that MT. Bowser held the reins with careless hand and seemed anxious to use the whip. She refrainea from saying anything. how

CHAPTER XVI.
YORKTOWN.

It was gray dawn when she rode into the inn stable-yard, but there was no stir about the premises, and she found the stable-door open, as she had left it. While she was putting up her horse and slipping back to her room the British were returning from their fruitIess attack. That afternoon, when Bessemer rode out from Gmong the trenches and redoubts of York town to welcome her and her aunt to the fortified town, he little suspected that it was this girl who had com passed his defeat.
 The Ellerys found Edward quite as ill as Bessemer's letter had led them to suppose, and for the next few SKeeks their hands were full with xsursing him. When they arrived the town wore an air of careless ease. Young officers in gay uniforms swag- gered through it's street, their talk loud boasts of what would be done when endorsements from Sir Henry Clinton arrived or when the British fleet came; but gradually all this changed. One day hope ran high; the British feet had been sighted; it was coming; the next, there was the bottomless pit of despair The feet was De Grasse's.
 Next came information of Wash ington's arrival; then news that the

 trenches; the powder burns; the mil- dew patches woven by foggy nights and hot days. [ Of the Americans, many were threadbare, and not few in tatters.
 Between these faded columns came the British in their bright new clothes which Cornwallis had that morning, in a final spurt of lavish, pess, ordered issued; but if their garb was bright their faces were in con- trast. With sullen countenanees, downcast eyes, and Ieaden tread they marched down the long, wide aisles that had been left for them, their colors cased and their drums beating sardonica1ly that appropriate tune. "The World is Turned Upside Down"
 It was after the ceremonies were over that Mrs. Ellery and Godfrey met, for young Worthington,. it seemed, was captain of infantry in Gen. Washington's army, and his had been one of the very companies that engaged in the defeat of Besse- mer on the foggy morning so fatal to that warrior. Nothing would do but Aunt Susannah must carry him where she and Jane and Edward were quartered, and on the way Mrs. Ellery's tongue was not idle. Z As they entered the doorway of the house Jane was just descending the stairs, on her way to the dining room for some food for Edward. At sight of Godfrey the co1or-consider- ably dimmed by events of the past msnths-deserted her cheeks, and she laid her hand upon the balustrade for support. It was surprising how SO sizable woman as Aunt Susannah could melt away so quickly, but dis appear she did, and Worthington and Jane were left the only occupants of the hall ~> ..~-=...
 "Jane." He came swiftly towards her. "Jane, your aunt has just told me what you have done, what you were to do for my sake, of sacrifice you had made and were to make to save my life. My God, to think that you could have sacrificed yourself thus for me, and that I, fool, pol ' troon, should have misread: you; should have-Jane, can you forgive the words I spoke at your fathers house the last might've were together?

assailed point, and the British were driven back, leaving their dead and wounded strewn along the batteries; leaving there too the body of their leader.
 It was the last attempt of the British save one to escape from the tolls which held them, and when that last effort had been made and foiled, it was little wonder that Lord Corn, wallis gave up in despair, nor that he should send proposals for sur render to MT. Washington.
 The day of the surrender dawned fair, but Jane refused to go with her triumphant aunt to see the spectacle. She felt that it was small enough act of loyalty towards both the dead Bessemer and the living Edward to remain away from scene that would have been so humiliating to both had they been present to witness 1t.
 But Aunt Susannah was deterred by no such scruples, and, arrayed in all the finery she could muster, with her head held very high, she set forth to view the pageant.
 The spectacle was we'll worth com ing miles to see, and many had so come. There was a surprising con course of onlookers considering the smallness of the town, the poor fla cilities for travel between the place of surrender and the surrounding country, as we'll as the haste with which the whole affair had been arranged. 
 Upon the, left stretched the long line of French troops; upon the right, the even longer line of Americans with Washington, the one splendid figure, upon his white charger at their head. The appearance of the triumphant armies was shabby. The uniforms showed the hard work of Ahe seize; the mud-stains of the
