Dolly was now the central figure Of all his
hopes and plans for the future, but he could
not venture 10 confess il to her while the fu.

In the paradise in which Dolly lived the
serpent came one day, in the shape Of a let.
ter from California-from the executor Of
Uncle Joshua's will. Uncle Joshua had
made her his sole heiress, and had left her a
fortune so large that Dolly's brain almost
Whired, and she felt like pinching herself,
TO see if She really was Dolly.


After her bewilderment had passed, her
first feeling was intense delight Money
was what Robert wanted with its aid all
his ambitious plans might be realized that
was her sole thought.


But her Joy was suddenly chilled 10y the
cold way in which Robert received the news
lie did not utter a word of congratulation,
and grew very pale as If it were painful
shock TO him


No thought Of doing otherwise than keep
ing quietly on with her work crossed Dolly's
mind. When good Mrs Spencer suggested
that teaching district school was scarcely
proper for 50 great an heiress, Dolly only
laughed at her. But very soon such cloud
fell upon Dolly's spirits, that her work grew
distasteful and irksome, and her life which
had been so pleasant, seemed a sad and hard
one. Robert had changed so much that
was the reason Of il all. Day By day his
GOODNESS increased he avoided her studi-
ously, when it was possible 10 do so, and
Dolly, from a feeling of sad bewilderment,
grew gradually into the belief that she had
been mistaken in ever thinking that he cared
for her.


In the spring, two months after her sud
den accession Of fortune, she received let
ter from u relative whose name she never
before heard "Your loving aunt, Laura
Seymour" it was signed, and in ii Dolly
was called "my darling niece" and numer-
GUS other tender names, and the writer ex-

The result of the experiment just being
made Of shipping peaches to Europe in steamers
fitted up with refrigerating air-tight compart-
ments will be watched with the greatest interest.
1t ought to succeed, judging from the fact
that the fruit has been kept in refrigerators at
home for much longer time than will be re-
quired for an ocean trip, and yet unforeseen diff
hculhes may arise which can only be determin-
cd by actual exper ience. But should it succeed
q new outlet will be afforded to the great and
almost unique product of Delaware and the
Peninsula, whose Importance can scarcely be
overeshnsted. The delicate and perishable ma
ture OF the peach has been one Of the greatest
drawbacks to it's cultivation. The apple and the
orange can be enjoyed months after they have
arrived at perfection, Eve do not mean ripeness,)
but the choicest OF all fruits has beon heretofore
available only within period Of few weeks.
The refrigerating process promises to materially
change the old order Of things, and to greatly
widen the period il which the fruit yet fresh
from the tree may be enjoyed. 1t 10 evident
that such system would add immensely to the
profits Of growers as well as to the qualification
of the public. II it can be practically perfected
the peach harvest will be quite another thing
from what 1t has been heretofore and the whole
business OF moving the crop may be revolution.

As far as the English market is concerned, we
may count upon large and very profitable
trade, should the new idea be found working
success. While not an entire novelty in England,
the peach is there costly luxury. much as pine

He is common-looking medium-sized,
jet-black dog. Officer Mitchell came in
possession of him one bleak winter night
last season, when the dog was shivering on
the street in starving condition. He was
taken home and provided for, and ever
since he has proved valuable addition to
the police force by assisting the officer in
the discharge Of his duties. He follows
the officer increasingly on all his rounds,
and when another officer raps for assistance
the dog makes haste with all speed to the
spot and commences to bark. Should any
Of the officers have occasion to give chase
after any one the dog marks out the man,
and catching him by the pantaloons, de-
tains him by worrying until the arrival of
the officers A short time ago the officers
succeeded in capturing prisoner that,
without the assistance of the dog, would
have escaped. The dog can discern intox-
icated persons from others, and should he
meet with such a person in his perambu-
lations he keeps up howl until an officer
arrives. The epolice always make it point
to 60 to the spot where the dog is barking,
and they are never fooled. The most sim
gular feature Of the dogs life is that he
will not accompany Officer Mitchell in
daylight when dressed in citizens clothes.
He sleeps in daytime, and is always on
duty with the officer, who prizes him
highly.

Yesterday brought around the day again
for the opening Of schools Far different
though was the day from the old style
school opening so far az the weather
was concerned. Instead o. the cool bra
cling air that we have been in the habit Of
Witnessing at the opening Of the fall sea-
Aon, it was dry and warm. But to speak
more specially Of the schools, it would be
well to devote few lines to the scholars.
At an early hour the the streets gave many
expressions that it was school day. From
the lisping boy and girl to the girl just
budding into womanhood, and the youth
showing signs Of an incipient mustache,
as Dryden says "whistling for want Of
thought" all appeared upon this scene and
wended their way casually along. The
vacation has been a long one, II which
they have had opportunities far exercise,

To-day every Democrat is reminded thai
Tie success Of his party devolves upon the
energy that he displays in conjunction with
r the balance of the members Of his party in
doing his full duty.


The watchword should be activity, l
is the metal that made Mayor Simms the
Chief Magistrate of the city, and it is the
same stern stuff that must win to-day.


Ample time has been given the members
of the party to study carefully the ticket
that has been placed in the field. 1t COM
3 prises men Of staunch reliability, those
who have won confidence and esteem by
strict integrity. '.


1t is for this reason that they have been
chosen, and by presenting their names, the
Democrats have brought to the front a
strong and invincible ticket. v>


A canvass Of the city has proven con-
clusively that the Democracy is better pre-
pared for the battle now than ever before.
There is unity Of purpose that will move
solidly for the ticket.
Every Democrat understands the i'm
portance Of concentration of the force Of
the party. This will be more noticeable
to-day than ever before. The party that
has held power SO long are as fully con-
vinced of the determination of their oppo-
nents as their opponents are determined to
do. For this reason they are using every
energy; resorting to Vaccinations of every
description to mislead, and for this the
Democratic voters should be wary. Ex-
anime your tickets carefully before depos-
iting them. Trust no one, but act for
yourself and it will be utterly impossible
to go astray.


We publish in another part of THE
HERALD the full ticket. 1t should be ex-
amined carefully and kept as matter Of
reference, for there is every reason to be-
lieve that artifces will be resorted to by the
Republicans. Split tickets will be plenti
full, and for this reason Democrats should
be careful to examine their tickets before
depositing them.


To those who are swaying, if there are
any, we would say that they will be of
benefit to nobody, and are decided disad-
vantage to any party,


But to all honest men we would say, "Do
your full duty, and there will be no reason
to fear defeat.

Mary Jane was young lady of seven
teen summers, rather attractive, and had
melted the stony heart Of young man
named c., a carpenter by trade, for
merly Of this city, but who at present re-
sides in Fon du Lac. c. had made
frequent visits to- the house, and courted
Mary Jane to the displeasure of the old
lady, who finally secured horsewhip,
which she concealed in the usual hiding

Last Sunday, however, the young gen.
tleman had come all the way from Fond
du Lac to visit the object of his undying
flame. He drove, with spanking new rig,
through the gate and up the driveway to
the house. The old lady had fire in her
eye. While Mary Jane was busily en-
gagged in robing herself in her prettiest
habiliments, her mother pounced upon her
waiting lover like KuKlux an south
ern schoolmaster, and proceeded to warm
him in way that he thought very pecu-
liar. The old lady has the nerve of lion,
and she laid down the blows thick and fast.
young C. kept driving round and
round, trying to shield himself in the car
riage top 1t was no go; she was getting
the best Of him. He finally drove to the
gate, and as he jumped out to open it she
caught him by the throat cut him fearfully
over the face and head with the whip, and
used the fellow up completely.


By this time Mary Jane had appeared
on the scene, and hastened to the little
front gate, where she waited until C.
had once more jumped into the carriage,
when in she jumped beside him, and away
they sped down the road, leaving the irate
mother blank with rage and astonishment.


The action of the old lady had brought
matters to climax, and it was either do
or die. The consequence was they drove
straight to Fon du Lac, and that night
they were. married. The affair caused
quite ripple on the surface of society in
the town of Vinland, and created much
gossip and excitement in that usually
quiet vicisity.

A correspondent OF the Chicago
Inter Ocean writing from Vicksburg,
NJ iss., describes at length the mob
ding Of the independence Day meeting
at that place on the 5th Of July.
There was no provocatiOn whatever.
The meeting assembled at the Court
House, and was composed largely of
negroes. Speeches were being made
when a file of white men entered the
room and arranged themselves in q
line along on one side. At signal
they presented their revolvers and
ordered the meeting to disperse. The
colored people became panic stricken
and rushed for the door and windows,
some jumping twenty five feet to the
ground. Soon the alarm bells began
to ring and armed men came running
from every direction. The signal was
again given and Il hundred shots were
fired upon the poor helpless negroes,
two OF whom were killed and others
wounded. This correspondent Of the
Inter- Ocean advances an idea we had
not thought of before. He says the
object of the South is to obtain con-
troll of all the Southern States, aud
then with their increased representa-
ton owing to the negroes being added
to the voting population, they entire
ly controlling them, will give them
nearly double the strength in Con-
gress ever possessed by them before,
and then they will wipe out the dis
grace and loss Of their defeat on the
battle field. Topeka Blade.

We publish number Of interesting
extracts from various papers throughout
the State in regard to the embarrassment
which surrounds tho administration Of
public affairs in this State. These ex-
tracts, added to others previously pub
lishGd, show that the public sentiment Of
this State is overwhelmingly opposed to
the recent high handed proceedings at
Charleston, Two Of the most significant
of the series are those from the Monroe
county Register and the GFoenbrier IDds-
psndcnt papers published in the Third
District, both Of which take pains to let
the world know that they repudiate the
doings Of the cOrnor.lot speCulators
of the late Capital. Another OF
these extracts, that one from the Pres
ton county journal, plainly intimatcs that
tho conduct Of Judge Smith deserves Cni-
phatic rebuke and condemnation, and
still another one intimates that he is re.
sponsiblo for the present disgruCeful and
anarChicul state Of affairs in West Vir-
ginia. And, by the way, these are not
the first intimations Of this character that
we have heard. There is a belief in in
ilnential quarters that Judge Smith has
laid himself liable to impeachment and re-
moyal by tho Legislature. His conduct
in first deciding the net Of removal to be
constitutional, and then Immediately stul'
tifying and nulliiying his decision by
perpetuating the injunction against tho
legal effect Of the act Is one Of those blum
dors which TallCyrund said were worse
than crimes, II indeed such q tarcicAl nd
ministration Of judicial functions is not
both blunder and crime. Whatever
may be said Of such q judge, Charitably
or otherwise, il will be generally con-
cedcd that he is unfit to occupy a
position wherein hc can do such an
inRnity Of mischief as this foolish
and wicked decision Of Judge Smith
may yet work In this State, To
impaach and remove such an officer would
be, In the estimation Of many persons,
simply vindicution Of the good name OF
the State. The 9th section Of the ~
article of the constitution provides for re.
moving an incompetent officer from his
position. What constitutes an incompc'
tent olIiccr2 Is Judge competent
officer who nrst decides that law Is CON
stitutional and then proceeds to abolish 1t
for q certain number Of days, just us II
any power in the State other than
the constitutionNlly recognized law
making power could perform such
an actP 1t Is the highest act OF
sovereignty to mako or change a law,
and certainly ii Circuit Judge Is not in'
vested with any such power II Is his
business to aid in the execution Of all
laws not declared unconstitutional in the
regular way, instead OF hindcring and
thwurting the operations Of a law that he
himself confesscs 10 be constitutional, and
it therefore deyolyes OH Judge Smith to
show by what authority he presumed TO
nulliiy the act Of the Legislature rcmov-
ing the Capital from Charleston.
