"Many happy days." It to doubtful whether the Administration would act so promptly against a stronger people as it promises to do in the Ilaytienallair. This is not a criticism of President Cleveland's Administration so much as of our general foreign policy. It has usually been safe to seize American citizens and anything that is American. In the present case the demand for the sciztd vessel seems to be based on reason and justice, and the Government is right to deploy a few skirmishers iu the neighborhood. The more so since the Hay tie us, by reason of internal disturbance, have no responsible Government. United .States Marshall Siiallcross is conducting his campaign of reform as though ho considers himself an ollicerof the Democratic party, not of the United States. against whom bo has a prima facie ease of unlawful voting. This and inoro ho in doing, lie ougbt to bo just as much interested to bring to justice Democratic violators of the law*. This lie is not doing at all. Deputy Marshall Sh&llcross has thriven under all Administrations, lie is a sort of Vicar of Bray. Deputy Marshall Shallcross is making himself a very interesting person. HnntM Voter* Should Have u Cluinre. Under a decision of the Supreme Court of Appeals the County Court of Kanawha, at the instance of representatives of the Democratic nominees for Governor and Congressman, threw out Lewiston precinct and its majority of nine for the Republican nominees. This made the Democratic politicians very happy. Under the same decision, and at the instance of the representatives of the Republican nominees, the County Court of Kanawha threw out Coalburg precinct and its majority of twenty for the Democratic nominees. This made the Democratic politicians very unhappy. By tiiis time the sounds of rejoicing were on the other side. 1 lie whole vote of each of these precincts was thrown out?that is to say, the voters disfranchised?became at each poll a commissioner of election who had not been sworn swore his colleague. The law which was thus violated is for the protection of the i-oter. It could never have been intended to be used as a pretext for disfranchising qualified voters. The not gain of these manoeuvres falls I to Republican nominees, whose good| fortune comes to them through the or-1 v\er of tho Supreme Court of Appeals ami as a result of Democratic echeming. But it matters not which party gains, this is not a good way .to datcrmino the result of an election. No sympathy need bo wasted on the politicians who lmvo been caught in their own trap; the sympathy belongs to the disfranchised voters. Conn to Ciinndn. Topska, Kas.? Dec.

That ? strong loyal nature which liad unsexed itself in the one idea of duty, now that ? duty seemed to be no longer appreciated took refuge in heriorgotteu womauhood li and in the intinitesimally small argu- ' tnents, resources and manoeuvres at its romuiand. She had eoncejved a singular e jealousy of this daughter who had u changed her husband's'nature and who had supplanted the traditions of tlx* * household life; she had acquired an ex- 1 ?#?f?l,n?u? fnminino t. charms which had never been a factor in her own domestic happiness. She saw in t her husband's desire to mitigate the savage aunt? ritics of their habits only a . weak concession to the powers of beauty [ tond ndornmgiit?degrading vanities she had never known in their fife-long stingglo for frontier supremacy?that had never brought them victorious out of that ( struggled "Frizzles," "fureblows" and e "fancy flxin's" had never helped them | in their exodus across the plains, had never taken the place of swift eyes, j quick ears, strong hands and endurance; j had never nursed the sick or bandaged the wounded. When envy'or jealousy ( invade the female heart after forty it is apt to bring a bitterness which knows , no attenuating compensation in that . coquetry, emulation, passionate appeal or innocent tenderness which uuikes tolerable the jealous caprices of the younger woman. The struggle for rivalry is felt to be hopeless, the power of imitation is gone. Of her forgotten womanhood Mir. McKinstry revived only a capacity t? suffer meanly and inflict mean "sulT'iing upjn others. In tin* ruined castle of her youth, ami the fulling iu of b.mrjuetting hall and bower, the dungeon and torture chamber appeared to have been left, or to use her own metaphor, she had querulously complained to the parson that "Accordin' to Home folks, site niout hcv bin thy barren lig-trco e lected to hear 1'ersiiumums," Her methods were not entirely different from tin so employed by her suffering sisterhood in like emergencies. The unlucky Hiram, "worrited by stock," was hardly placated or consoled by learning from her that it was only the result of his own weakness, acting upon tin? cussedness of the stock-dispersing Harrisons; the perplexity into which he was thrown by the news of the new legal claim to his land, was not soothed by the suggestion that it was a trick of that v..?l-u<. nivhivfltimi to which he was mean;y succumbing. She who had always been a rough but devoted nurse in sicklies* wiiH now herself overtaken by vague irregular disorders which involved the greatest caro and the absence of all axciting causes. The attendance of McKinstry at d Cressv at a "crazy quilting party""had brought on "blind chills;." the importation of a uielodiau for Cressy to play on had superinduced an "innerd rash," and a threatened attack of "palsy creeps" bad only been warded oil' by the timely postponement of an evening party suggested by her daughter. The old nomadic instinct morbidly uxeitrd bv her discontent, caused her la lay artful plans for a further emigration; she knew she bad tin; germs of "inasli fever" caught from the adjacent river; she reluted mysterious intormationgathered in "claw meeting" (if the superior facilities ! for stock raising on the higher foot-hills. She resuscitated her dead and gone Mis' souri relations in her daily speech, to a i manifest invidious comparison with the jiving; she revived even the incidents of her early married life with the same baleful intent. The acquisition of a few "biled shirts" by Jliram lor festivoappearances with Cressy painluily reminded her that he had murried her in "hickory;"Jibe further accented the change hy herself appearing in her oldest clothes, on the I hypothesis that it uas necessary for some one to keep up the traditions of the I past.. JIit attitude toward urcssy wouiu have been more decided had sho ever possessed the sliuhtest influence over her, or had even understood her' with the intuitive sympathies ol the maternal relations. Yet she went so far as to even openly regret the breaking off of the match with Seth Davis, wltose family at least still retained the habits and traditions she revered; but she was 'promptly silenced by her husband informing her that words "that had to be tuk back" had already passed between him and Beth's father, and thai according to those sarnu traditions blood was more likely to he spilled than mingled. Whether she was only withheld from attempting a reconciliation herself through lack of tuek and opportunity remains to be seen. For the present she encouraged Eastern's attentions under a new and vague idea that a flirtation which distracted Cressy from her studies was displeasing to" McKinstry land inimical to his plans. Itlimlly ignorant of Mr. Ford's possible relations i to her daughter, and suspecting nothing, sJie felt towards him only a dull aversion as being the senseless pivot of her troubles. Seeing no one and habitually closing her ears to any family allusion to ('ressy's social triumphs, sho was unawaie of even the popular admiration their memorable wait/, bad excited. On the morning of the day that Uncle Den had confided to the master his ingenious plan for settliyg the boundary disputes, tho barkimr of McKinstry** yellow dog announced the approach of ' a stranger to the ranche. It proved to be ' .Mr. Stacey?-not only as dazzlingly ar- ' rayed as when lie first rose above Johnny Filgee's horizon, but wearing in addition to his jauuty business air a , look of complacent expectation of the pretty girl whom he had met at the ball. , lie bad not seen her for a mouth. It * was u happy inspiration of ids own that ' enabled him to present himself thut j morning in tho twin functions of a victorious Mercury and Apollo. ' McKinstry had to be summoned from , un adjacent meadow, while Cressy in the meantime undertook to entertain the gallant stranger. Tins was easily done. It was part of her fascinations that, disdaining the ordinary real or ruined ignorance of the ingenue of her class, she generally, exhibited to her admirers (with perhaps the single exception of the master) a laughing consciousness of tiie state of mind into which her f harms had thrown them. .She understood their passion if alio could not accept it. This to a bashful rustle community was helpful, but in the mailt unsatisfactory; with advances so promptly unmasked the most strategic retreat was apt to become an utter rout. Leaning against the lintel of the dour, her curved hand shading the sparkling depths of her eyes, and tho sunlight striking down upon the pretty curves of her languid figure, she awaited the attack. "I haven't 81)011 you, Miss Cci&fipy, ainc<? wo danced together?a mouth ago." "That waa mighty rough papers/' said Creasy, who was purposely dialectical to strangers, "considering that you trapsed up and down tho Jaue, past the house, twice yesterday." "Then you saw me?" said the young man with 11 sliuhtlv diwnniHtjul taiii/h. "I did. Ami fi<> diil tin* hound, nnd ho, I reckon, did Joe Muster* and the hind nmn. And when you pranced back on the home stretch, there was the bound. Muster*, the hired mult and Maw all on your trail, and I'aw hringiu' up the roar with u Hhot gun. There was about halfa-inileof you altogether." She removed her hand from her eyes to iudicato with a liLzily gracvful nweep this somewhat iuiuyinative procession, and laughed. "You are certainly well guarded," said SUccy hesitatingly, "and looking at >u. Mian Creasy," ho added boldly, 4 >n't wonder nt it." "Well.itis reckoned'ihatnext to Paw jundaries I'm pretty well protect* om squatters and jumpers." Forceful nn<l quaint ns herlanguai as, the lazy sweetness of her inton on, und the delicate refinement ot hi ice more than atoned for it. It was u mventional and picturesque as hi reatness. 80 at least thought Mr. Ht L'V, and it emboldened him to furth allantrv. "Well, Miss Cres?y, as my businc ith your father to-day was to try to < ct a compromise of his houuda laims, perhaps you might accept 11 urvioes in your own behalf." "Which means," responded the you idy pertly, "the same thing to me as 'aw. No trespassers but yourself. Thai ou, sir." .She twirled lightly 011 h leel and dropped him that exaggerat ourtesy known to the school childr s a "cheese."

"Yes," suid Stacey with a quick easy smile. "Ah! 1 see we uiuan'td him. Js he out there?" he added try to follow the direction of her eyes. But the young girl kept her face i diously averted.
