was a mystery to Dorothy's friends
why she did not marry. Suitors she
had in plenty, and admirers who would
have wooed her had they dared: but
Dorothy, to all appearances, was invul-
nerable.
1t was during the winter after her
twenty-sixth birthday, that she, in COM
pany with her father, was travelling
in England, and the fame of the great
surgeon, Doctor Dinsmorc, came to
their ears. People fiocked 20 him in
scores: his operations were wonderful,
and his sympathy and generosity some
thing to be told of by the destitute and
suffering with tears and blessings.
A rapturous hope thrilled through
Dorothy's heart when she first heard
of him. She remembered that Oscar
had told her of studying medicine and
surgery, although he had never prac-
ticed-but then, Dinsmore was COM
mon enough name. Oh, if it were only
he-the man whom she had never for
gotten!
They met at last, at reception. 1t
was her old-time lover, grown trife
broader, his dark hair slightly sprinkled
with gray, the gay insouciance OF look
and manner gone, and in its place
gravity and dignity which relaxed at
times into genial pleasantly that was
irresistihly attractive.
He came to her soon. There were
spectators all about them, but they
only sa~ two old friends meet with
handclasp and a smile; they never
knew what the souls of the man and
woman said to each other in that brief
glance.
Dorothy went home from the recep-
ton in such jubilant spirits that her
father wondered mildly what had come
over his quiet daughter.
But he understood when DR.. Dins-
more called the next day and made
formal proposal for Dorothy's hand.
$50 this accounts for your refusal OF
the best men of our acquaintance"
said Mr.. Stretton, rather quizzicaily. as
he turned to Dorothy.
"Yes, father" very quietly.
"Well, Doctor Dinsmore, I am glad
to be able to grant my hearty ap-
proval, although Dorothy. Of course,
is of age to choose for herself; and
am glad to see, sir, that your money
has not kept you from truly noble
manhood"
aMr. stretton," replied Dinsmore,
drawing Dorothy within the circle OF
his arms, .'to your daughter l owe
what 1 am to-day. Six years ago,
when 1 was living an idle. selfish life
of dissipation. she refused my offer OF
marriage, and told me to make a man
of myself. So, you see, sir, woman's
NO has been my salvation; and her
yes shall be the magic word which
opens the way to Happiness. New

The German professor: had no: been
in this country very long, and his
knowledge Of English was still some
what shaky. He was anxious TO learn,
however, and never used German in
speaking to the students if ne could
think of the English equivalent. He
was young and handsome, and as all
the students were young women, he
was universally adored. AS he was
hurrying to recitation one day he
bumped violently into a young woman
who was rushing in the other direction
to another recitation. Stopping and
taking off his hat, he murmured:

The temporary injunction granted
the Southern railroad restraining the
Union and Glenn Springs railway from
crossing under its tracks near the
power house in Union has been dis
solved. It is understood the reason
the Southern railway took the step
was to insure the work of going under
its track being done in the most ap-
proved and substantial manner.
A pile driver and large force of
hands are now at work preparing to
begin the work Of construction and

To Connect Union with s. A. /.

To Connect Union with s. A. l..
The laying of rails. on the new rail-
road, to connect Union with the Sea-
board Air Line, begins in few days.
Robert Russell Company, the railroad
contractors, have moved two-thirds of
the camp to Carlisle, so that this work
can be pushed. Unless the weather
seriously interferes. the large force of
hands employed will have the rails put
down rapidly, the only delay that may
arise being caused by the building of
trestles, the two principal ones being
several hundred feet long over Meals
and Hopkins creeks.
1t is impossible to say just when the
line will be completed into Union, but
it is assured now that 1t will be in a
comparatively short time.

Congressman Livingston's
Resolution Turned Down.
TABLED IN THE HOUSE
Object Of Measure Was 70 Get Inside
information as to How Govern
ment Secures Its Special
Cotton Statistics.

.a ~. ..r
ton statistics question was aired quite
fully in the house Thursday, when,
after considerable discussion, Colonel
Iivingston's resolution calling for In
vestigation was laid upon the Ia.
BILE.
In brief, the argument against the
resolution was that 1t was unnecessary
in the light Of previous investigations.
Mr.. Burleson Of Texas, q cotton plan
ters Mr.. Loverings6 Massachusetts,,
cotton manufactures, and Mr.. Sims
Of Tennessee were among these who:
supported the motion to table the res
olution, and incidentally these gen.
tlemen had much to say in praise OF
the efficiency OF the two departments
which deal with statistics Of cotton
and other crops.
Colonel Livingston disclaimed any
purpose to question the honesty OF
the agricultural department or the.
census department statistieians, but he
srgued that in view Of the Widespread
dissatisfaction over recent reports
there should be- an investigation. II,
I The agricultural COMMITTEES, which
at first determined to. report the res
olutsou fayorably with some minor
changes, finally determined to take
contr-ry action, the members OF the
committee being convinced that ives
no good ground for criticism OF the
statisticians and no need, as they.
see It, Of any Investigation.
The question came up on q motion
by Mr.. Wadswrth, chairman OF the
committee on agriculture, to lay on
the table the resolution presented by
Livingston several weeks ago, calling
on the secretary Of agriculture for.
information regarding the method Of
collecting cotton statistics Il
The motion to lay on the table pre-
vailed after Messrs Burleson OF Tex
as ,Wadsworth OF New York, Lover
ing OF Massachusetts, and Sims Of Ten
1essee had vigorously defended the
governments estimates. ~ 81
In crtticising the aetion Of the
committee in ordering the resolution
10 lie ON the taole, Mr.. Livingston
sadd that there was nothing in his
resolution which charged dishonesty
or falsehooi on the part Of the agrt.
cultural department, but he did insist
that there was dissatisfaction in the
South over the departments report;
The press of the South. he declared,
not only was dissatieAed with the cot.
ton estimates of the agricultural de-
partment, but was determined II the
estimates were made on accurate In;
formation and would be given much
more than two months apart. to de-.
mand the abolition Of the staeistica'
division Of the department.
Another cause for Dissatisfaction.
he said, was that the department es-
timated the acreage of cotton last
year more than a million acres too
much, and corrected the estimate In
October. "The department, he said,
that could make a mistake Of one
million acres in the product OF cotton
in the South in one season, seems to
me ought to give the country the In
formation upon which such informa-
tion was based"
