Miss Brown simpered, and vowed
vengeance at the same time, as she
thought that he had not forgotten
her age after all her pains to hide it.

Over miles and miles the horses
pranced, and Miss Raymond forgot
her late foe, and how she had ous
generated her, as the Dr. told her OF
bright Italy, noble Switzerland, and
romantic Scotland.

He looked down at the lady by his
side, as she said this, and his eyes
were full of joy, as he replied All!
how musical the words were! sweet
er the voice than the rich-toned harp;
grander its melody, to her, than the

than all Natures S orchestra.


Long time ago." he said, "when
you were only five years old, your

you, till l felt mighty impulse to
be great, and good, and famed, so
that l might be leved by a woman

with the bright eyes and radiant

II admired your noble spirit of in
dependence, but young ladies now
a-days are false, though fair. You
have proved yourself unchanged from
the little angel that gave me higher
aspirations. Now, dear Anna, come
and tighten my home! Its very
walls would be bright if they might
echo your voice, and Thanksgiving

Of a handsome robe, in which she
meant to be irresistible, and said, she
wished she had died before Charley

The demonstration In ST. Louis last night
in honor Of General Sheridan was the largest
outpOuring of people ever witnessed in that
city. The torchlight procession was nearly
two miles long, and consisted Of over twenty
posts Of the Grand Army OF the Republic. a
large number Of colored organizations. repre-.
sentatives OF the various wards OF the city.
The fire department, and an immense throne OF
citizens generally, took part in the demoustra-
ton. The procession was nearly an hour in
passing the Southern HoleI, ON the east bal.
cOny OF which General Sheridan, his staff Of.
hcers, members OF the various committees,
and invited guests were stationed. The crowd
at and in the vicinity Of the hotel after the
procession had passed must have numbered
10000. and the number on the streets on the
line OF march could not have been less than
from twenty to thirty thousand persons.


After the enthusiasm of the crowd had
somewhat subsidized Lieutanant Governor
Smith delivered a short but very cordial wei.
come to the General on behalf Of the people of
The State, which was followed by Very elo.
quent address by General Carr SchurZ.


General Sheridan then stepped forward and
replied as follows: 81 presume you all know
l never make speeches. regret exceedingly
that am unable to make You one to. might but
this very kind welcome has been unexpected
by me entirely, and can only return my sin.

assassination conspiracy, the Albany n.
y Express says:


Here, for example, is one significant
fact which We learn from authority that
can not be doubted On the night of the
assassination the pickets on the road which
Booth took from Washington we're with
drawn by written order of high mill
tary officer in our army. On one previ-
Gus night, when tho plan of abduction was
to have been carried out, the pickets were
Withdrawn by the same cficcr. That writ
ten order is now accessible. This would
certainly seem to Indicate that others be-
sides those whose names are familiar to the
public were not ignorant of the conspiracy
Indeed, it is the opinion Of some whose
position enable them to learn the interior
facts of the case that there was present at
the theater, on the fatal night one higher
than Booth, who had the supervision OF
the deadly work Traces of this man have
been found, but he has never been fully
identified"

MEDICAL ADVICE.-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the welfare of our State and health
of our citizens; and his rapidly spreading reputa
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of skill, and follows as the natural effect
of such cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage Of
every available means that promised relief, but
without success, until they called upon DR.. Do
hcrty, who in an Incredibly short space of timc
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is q gen.
tcman who seeks, not by defamation Of Others
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure Of his own upon the ruin Of another's
fame. The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. He examines advises and recommends
without charge, and the patient after hearing
his terms for treatment, can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects cure. This, he is able
to do because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consoa.
tiOn which appertains to that confidence. Per
sons afflicted with either acute or chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm rs for consultation he asks no
fee: nor does he insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
His Offices are on Sacramento street, opposite the
Pacific Mail Steamship Offices. F. News.

AN ACCOMMODATING Young MANA little in
cident, says the Hartford Courant, occurred
lately in one of the cars of the Hartford and
New Haven Railroad, which gave gratifying
proof of the Difference paid by young men to the
wishes of the ladies, and their readiness to sup
ply a want as soon as it becomes known. The
car in question nearly filled, as cars are apt
to be in this day of travel. Its floor near the
door was covered with tobacco juice-as, alas |!
floors apt to be in this day when the use of
the vile weed so much prevails. AT one of the
way stations well-dressed lady entered the car,
looking with unconcealed disgust at the pools of
yellow and Shiny juice on the floor, then raised
her dress slightly and picked her way across.
The only vacant sitting in the car was on seat
occupied in part by young man, who at once
made room for the lady by his side. AS soon as
she was seated, with look of relief, mingled
with one of solicitude, the lady asked her seat
mate: "Do you chew tobacco? 2" "No,
ma 'am,' was the reply, " but ! can get you
chaw, if you like" The look of disgust again
crept over the lady's face, while those sitting by
smiled audibly. fa.-,

"THE CONNECTING LINK. ."-Barnum's gorilla
is, it would seem, most dangerous, formidable
and powerful biped. His keeper is compelled
to mount guard near his cage constantly, in or
der TO warn visitors to maintain a respectful dis
tance from his elongated arms. Shortly after he
had been installed in his new lookup, the
imal took advantage of the incautious proximity
OF his keeper, to seize him by the arm, which he
would have wrenched from the socket, SO great
is his strength, had not the keeper suddenly
dropped to the floor, thus leaving the man mon
key with only the coat, which he at once tore
into thousand shreds This gorilla stands
over FIVE feet high, and Isl for prudential reasons,
attached to a chain with a resistant power equal
to six thousand pounds, SO formidable is his
muscular strength. 1t is said that Barnum paid
eight thousand dollars for the beast in Africa and
that in appearance it presents far nearer ap-
proach to the human animal than any specimen
of the smous tribe ever seen in this country

him to his journeys end. AS he did not stop,
she was as good as her word and leaving her
clothing by the roadside, she followed him in
that cool, fascinating costume of nature. This
only made him laugh. When they came to the
intersection of the road they were surprised
with meeting party of young men who had
been out fishing, and then the husband began to
think that the wife's costume was not exactly
the kind prescribed by court etiquette, and cut
ting stout switch, he started her back
very keen run, not allowing her to stop and
gather her clothes. Our informant says she
made splendid time in going from the clearing to
the house, probably because she was not incon-
venienced by extra clothing. Since then both
parties have indefinitely postponed their trip to
