John Merri vale's Wife.
CHAPTER I.
It was 2 o'clock in the morning, and
John Merrivale still sac before the library
fire, alert and anxious. "Whenever
the sound of approaching wheels
was heard he held his breath till they
passed, and tlu-n almost breathlessly
waited for others to draw near. Most
men would have eased their anxiety by
pacing the floor or looking out of the
window; but John Merrivale was
too much ashamed of his nervousness
to even admit it to himself. lie had
entered his house at 12 o'clock to find
his wife away. She had not spoken to
him of any engagement or intention of
spending the evening from home. Mr.
Merrivale did not ignore the fact of
hard words the morning previous. lie
had told his wife that he should not be
home till late that night. She had
wept and he had called her a baby and
a simpleton,
It seemed to him, as he looked over
the two years of his life as a husband,
that his wife had wept every day since
they were married. Of course she had
Tin naiiao for A frhost of a smile
I played arouncl his stern but handsome
mouth as he thought of her overweening
fondness for himself and of
her jealousy of every person and pursuit
that kept him away from her.
Xow she had undoubtedly planned to
make liiin jealous by going to some ball
or party without his knowledge.
The sound <>f wheels grew less and
less frequent, and now the little clock
on the mantel struck three. This was
horrible! Ten minutes past three, and
the soft click of a latch-key was heard.
Very slowly and deliberately Mr. MerrivftJe
rose from his chair and opened
the door leading into the hall. He was
deadly pRle, but his face was iron in its
rigidity.
A gentleman in full evening dress
had entered the house and was removing
his overcoat when the librarydoor
opened.
"Hallo! Jack is that you?" the newcomer
inquired, in an oil-hand manner.
'"Yes, it is I," Mr. Merrivale replied;
"but where have you been so
late?"
" To one of the Barrington crushes,"
the young man responded, following
: his companion into the library, "and I
didn't know as I should ever get
back."
? "It wasn't so far," Mr. Merrivale
: remarked.
"You see I had two ladies to take
^ home, living in totally opposite direc
tions, and out of regard lor itorse-ilesii
I walked the last mile."
Clarke Denning was an old friend
and chum of John Merri vale's, and
had been his guest for several weeks.
A very natural pride, natural at least
to John Merrivale, restrained him from
immediately speaking of his wife's absence.
Then, too, there was something
f else. How strange that Clarke had
not remarked upon his being up so
late. He did not usually find him in
the library at 3 o'clock in the
morning Mildred had doubtless made
a confidant of Clarke and he had felt
it his duty to respect her communication.
This was of course dislovalty to
him.
For a moment there was silence be
tween the men, when Clarke said, suddenly:
"I'm going to bed, Jack."
" Mr. Merriv:ib> rp
r.vwv...V, k
plied, in a curious tone, " but lirst I
sliould like to ask you if you know anything
of Mildred?"
"Mildred!"
There was surprise enough in Mr.
Beuning's tone, but his face was crimson
and his eyes did not readily meet
his friend's.
/'Yes, Mildred," Mr. Merrivale responded.
" She has not been home to,
night."
"When did she go out?"
* This was a practical question that
had not occurred to Mr. Merrivale. lie
1 had been so sure of his wife's motive in
going away that lie had not thought
of inquiring into details.
.. "I don't know when she left the
house; 1 only know that she is not here
now, and that is quite enough," he replied.
"Haven't you spoken to the servants?"
" That is the last tiling I should do.
'JDid she tell you that we had quarreled
Jthis morning, Clarke?"
"She didn't need to tell me that.
/* One look at her face was sufficient."
"Did she say anything about leav.
ing or punishing me, Clarke, or any
thing of that sort?"
"Why don't you ask me it l nave
"'run away with your wife?"
Clarke l)enning's eyes flushed (ire, as
he instinctively drew a step nearer his
'* companion.
? " I beg your pardon, Clarke. I only
thought she might have poured out
' her woes, and, perliaps, given you a
hint of what she intended to do."
, "Jack, your wife could no more plot
against you than she could poison you.
: She idolizes every hair of your head,
and you know it. IIow do you know
: but something horrible hasn't happened
. to her? Neither you nor 1 have been
rffome since morning. I cannot con7
ceive why you did not rouse the serv
vants at once and find out what time
Mrs. Merrivalc went out. You would
Y make a bad judge, Jack. You would
never want to hear but one side of a
case."
" Mildred dismissed her maid day before
yesterday. That looks suspicious.
"Yesterday morning she t?>ld me she
was no longer a baby and was defiant
for the first time. To-night I came
home and she is not here. I wait till
dawn and she does not return. Two
. and two make four, Clarke, and all the
information 1 can get will not alter the
T mathematical fact."
"You are cruel and unjust, Jack. If
you will not inquire about- her I will,
and?"
"Xo, you will go to bed," Mr. Merrir
vale interrupted. " The fact is, Clarke,
tKn n-V.rvhi Hiirwr cn arrilncivclu mv

business that you must pardon me for
saying that I shall he compelled to
manage it in my own way."
There was nothing for Clarke to do
but submit, and the two men departed
' with a cloud between them.
"Unjust and cruel!" Vhese words
had struck deep. It w.is plain that
Clarke's sympathies were entirely with
his wife. Mildred had doubtless complained
to him and acquainted him
with her plans.
At breakfast Mr. Merrivale condescended
to ask a question or two of the
servant who waited on him. Mrs. Merv
rivale had left the morning previous,
j Did the servant see her go? Yes, and
' thought it strange that Mrs. Merrivale
did not order her carriage ;us usual.
^ She wore a black dress and took nothing
with her.
The last was an entirely unnecessary
piece of information, ;us Mr. Merrivale
r'"*had carefully examined every nook
and corner of his wife's apartments,
even to the little safe in which she
kept her jewels.
Even' jewel she possessed was there,
^with the exception of two diamond
. "rings which she had before her mar:
triage. Her engagement and wedding
. rings were the lirst pieces of jewelry
' .that met his eyes as lie opened the safe.
Clarke came down before breakfast
' "was over looking frightfully haggard
^. and anxious, and Mr. Merrivale in^-formed
him of the result of his interf
view.
"Perhaps she has gone 1101110,"
Clarke suggested.
" Did she mention such a possibility
to you?" Mr. Merrivale inquired.
" Ilang it all, Jack! Haven't I said
that she didn't tell me anything?"
Clarke replied. "And is it possible
that you think 1 could keep anything
1 might know from you at such a time
as this? Upon my word, you must
think 1 have suddenly developed into
a villain!"
" If Mildred had seen lit to throw a
little light on the subject," Mr. Merrivale
remarked, entirely ignoring his
companion's earnest disclaimer, " it
would have simplified things considerably;
hut women are as destitute of
business capabilities as they are "of
liwrin T cfiaiilil iu?f lk?IVi> lillt II vitrilW
1 ! ?? ...... ,
in her way if she had told me she
wanted to leave me."
"What use to talk to a man who had
so fully made up his mind?
Clarke once more asked to he allowed
to assist in the search, and was again
refused, and quite as peremptorily as
before.
There was one chance in one hundred.
Mr. Merrivale told himself, that
his wife might have met with an accident
or heen the victim of foul plav,
and on tins chance he must work.
The fact was John Merrivale cared
too much for the opinion of the world
not to do his part toward discovering
the whereabouts of his wife, hut thenwas
a look in the man's facts which
once seen could scarcely he forgotten.
Clarke Denning saw it, and wondered
could it lii possible that he had
loved his wife and was really sorrowing
for his loss?
Sometimes there seemed little doubt
of it, and then again a few satirical
words pointed as plainly to another
conclusion.
Clarke made several attempts to get
away, but each time his determination
had been overruled.
One day, about two months afto
Mrs. Merrivale's llight, he broached
the subject again.
"If 1 were of the slightest use to
" l,,. Vila nntmuininn?"lint f
am not, anil 1 really think I must go,
Jack."
" You are of use to me," Mr. Merrivale
replied.
" You are very good to say so, l?ut I
don't see it," Clarke responded.
" Upon my word, Jack," he added, with
considerable feeling, "I would give
several years of my life il I could do
something for you, but you have tied
me up so that I don't feel at liberty to
say my soul's my own."
Mr. Merrivale smiled, but made no
answer, and Clarke gave up once more
his intention of leaving in obedience to
the superior will.
CHAPTER II.
Detectives were balked at every
point. Mrs. Merrivale's father had
been traveling abroad for several
months, and the old housekeeper was
interviewed with her knowledge and
without her knowledge by these remorseless
individuals, but it was plain
that she was as ignorant as everybody
else. More than once Mr. Merrivale
had been summoned to the morgue,
with the expectation of recognition,
but Mildred was not there. Once a
mass of long fine hair was the first
thing to meet his eyes, and for an instiint.
tlx>sfronor. stern man succumbed
o?
to his anguish.
" Mr. Merrivalc groaned quite like 1
other folks," the detective said. "1
didn't suppose 'twas in him."
But the beautiful hair was not Mildred's;
and when John Merrivale walked
out into the sunshine again it was with
his usual stoical composure.
During all these miserable weeks he
had nursed the thought of Clarke's
knowledge of Mildred's secret until 1
now he was sure of it as of his own existence.
lie would gladly have been in the
great house alone, free to think his
own thoughts and indulge his misery
in his own way, but he was entirely
dominated by the thought that some [
time, like "murder," Clarke's complicity
would "out."
"With this feeling stronger than ever
in his mind he, one afternoon, walked
into Clarke's room during his absence !
and looked about.
He felt like a sneak thief as he did
so, for his guest's quarters were certainly
as sacred in his eyes as his own
private rooms. 1
I5nt he was the head detective, he
told himself, and everything was fair i
in such an emergency as the present.
Mr. Merrivale started several times
as he turned over the accumulation of
letters on Clarke's writing table, thinking
he heard a step approaching, and
more than once decided to leave the
room with his purpose unaccomplished.
But here was Clarke's memorandum
book, with evt'r so many items carefully
erased, as it was on the very day
that Mildred left.
This was suspicious, of course. Here
was part of a letter in which Clarke
had written of the great trouble of
Jack, with a .-light criticism of Jack's
manner of managing the dreadful
business.
Mr. Merrivale was about to abandon
the search, when, upon taking up a
portfolio of sketches, he came upon a
scrap of writing which was as familiar
to him as his own. It was the tag end
of a note, and read as follows:
" and shall be obliged to name
another dav. Nevermind. It will be
just as well. M. M."
John Merrivale had found more than
he had looked for. Xo wonder that
his guest was anxious to leave his
house. And this \vas the sequel to it
all. Ilis wife had left him for
another man, and that man his best
friend, living as a brother under his
roof and partaking of his bountiful
iu/r?j luaiuji . iUiniii'ii o tvui o vivvwiij
explained now. There was no necessity
of looking further. This was
evidence enough, and now, with his
teeth set and his eyes full of a deadly
determination, the outraged husband
stalked out of the room.
It was after 10 o'clock that evening
when Clarke returned, and .John M< rrivale
awaited him in the library with
the same fever of impatience that he
had watched for his wife two months
before.
" I am glad you are home. Jack!" the
newcomer exclaimed as he drew a
chair close to his friend's. " I've heard
some news."
"Ah!"
"Mr. Harding returned from Europe
to-day, and Charlie Wellington says
there was a lady in the carriage with
him whom he could almost swear was
Mil? Mrs. Merrivalc."
There was something in his com
panion's face and manner that didn't
set-in exactly favorable to first names,
and Clarke awkwardly corrected himself.
"It does seem though," he went on.
"that if Mrs. Merrivale had taken
pjtssage on a steamer from New York
that you woidd have found it out."
"Yes," Mr. Merrivale responded,
with singular deliberation; "but my
wife did not go to Europe and you
know it."
The speaker did not see the color
die out of his companion's face, for it
was an impossibility for .John Merrivale
even to accuse his friend of crime
and look him in the face at the same
time.
" I know it," Clarke repeated, with
a pitiful quiver in his voice. "Y'our
wife did not go to Europe and I know
it?"
"Yes, and you know it," Mr. Merrivale
responded, driving back with a
supreme effort the demon that thirsted
for quick and summary vengeance. "I
have found you out," he went on,
"and all I now ask is that you tell me
where Mrs. Merrivale is hiding."
"Oh, .Jack, can it be?" Clarke began,
imploringly.
" Drop that," his companion replied,
sternly. " I want to know where my
wife is, and then, heaven help me, I
never want to see your face again in
this world or the next. Speak quickly,
man"?this hissed between set
teeth?"ormy patience will give out."
"Let it give out and be hanged to
it!" Clarke exclaimed, now fairly wild
with rage. "My patience has given out,
and what are you going to do about
it?"
"Nothing, but ask you to read this,"
and Mr. Merrivale passed him the scrap
of paper.
Clarke took it, looked at it like a
man in a dream, then walked over to
the table and examined it by the light.
"Letters from my wife must have
been frequent if you eannot remember
the occasion of this," Mr. Merrivale
remarked, in his coolest manner.
"And shall be obliged to name another
day," Clarke read aloud in a bewildered
fashion, which, it' assumed,
was certainly an excellent piece of
acting.
"Oh, I know!" he exclaimed at last,
all the anger dying out of Ids face.
"Why, .lack, that note was written
when you were in Albany and Mrs.
Merrivale was in Atlantic City. A
party of us was going down to spend
the dav, and?
" You lie!"
"Jack!"
" I say you lie and I say more, you
are an infernal coward as well ;is a
scoundrel. Tell me where my wife is
or, by heavens, 1*11 shoot you as I would
a dog."
John Merrivale pulled a pistol from
his pocket and deliberately cocked it.
At that instant the silken portiere
that separated the library from the
drawing-room was thrown one side
and Mrs. John Merrivale appeared on
the scene. No sweeter vision could
possibly be imagined as the beautiful
woman glided swiftly to the side of
her husband.

with a womanliness that made itself
felt above even the passion and wretchedness
of this critical moment, she
held out her hand for the pistol.
" It will be safer with me," she said.
John Merrivale laid the pistol on the
table without a word.
"Clarke is right about the note,"
she went on. " You see, I have overheard
some of your conversation. It
was a business communication, the
lirst, last and only one. I left this
house, John, because I eoultl not live
in it any longer and keep my self-respect.
I ought to have written you,
but I was too wildly wretched for that.
You have been a tyrant and I a slave.
I went to London to my father, and he
did not approve of my course and advised
mv immediate return. ITe came
with me to-night. I am sorry, Clarke,
that you have had to bear so much on
my account, and please try and forgive
me."
Mrs. Merrivale extended her hand to
her friend and then turned to leave
the room, ller husband placed himself
in her way.
" You haven't asked me to forgive
you !" he said, in an unsteady tone.
" I tried to be a good wife," she replied,
simply. "1 failed sometimes.
Forgive those times if you ran."
Clarke turned to leave the room.
" For heaven's sake, Clarke, don't
go!" Mr. Merrivale exclaimed. "I
have been a brute and a fool. Forgive
me, old fellow, and try and remember
the awful provocation 1 thought I
had. Say yes, Clarke."
For answer the magnanimous fellow
extended his hand in token of full
forgiveness.

getting back a little of his old manner?
"I entreat you to try and forgive n?e. It
seems to me I liavo suffered most
enough. Hero are your rings, dear,"
and Mr. Merrivale drew the jewels
from] his pocket and placed them on
her lingers. "Mildred, I will be a
tyrant no longer. I will love you and
cherish you as my own precious wife,
so help me God, as long as wo are
spared to each other. Mildred, darling,
you did right to leave me. ]t was a

ine and trust me now, or I cannot

For answer a radiant face was upturned
to him and a pair of loving arms
encircled his neck.

A Great Storm Predicted,
According to J)r. E. Stone "Wiggins,
a new weather prophet of Canada,
who some time ago predicted'that the
recent gale would sweep from east to
west over the continent,, says a great
storm will strike this planet in March
next. The following warning is issued
by Dr. Wiggins:
It will lie first.felt in the Northern
Pacific, and will cross the meridian of
Ottawa at noon^(5 i\ m. London time)
on Sunday, March 11, 1S8:}. No vessel
smaller than a Cunarder will be able to
live in this tempest. India, the south
of Europe, England, and especially the
North American continent, will be the
theatre of its ravages. As all the low
lands on the Atlantic will lie submerged,
I advise ship builders to place
their prospective vessels high up on
stocks, and farmers having loose valuables,
such as-hay, cattle, etc., to remove
them to a place of safety. 1 beg,
further, most respectfully to appeal to
the honorable minister of marine that
he will peremptorily order up storm
drums on all the Canadian coast not
later than the 20th of February, and
thus permit no vessel to leave the harbor.
If this is not done, hundreds of
lives will be lost and miilions worth of
property destroyed.

of land-grant railroad constructed in all the
States and Territories up to the close of the
w.nr ftosneetinL' the forfeiture of
railroad grants the commissioner s-ays:
" Tlio status of various grants for railroad
purposes where tho roads have not been corstrueted
within the time prescribed by Jaw was
reported to Congress on March 2.S, last. The
absenco of legislative action touching (lie
renewal of these grants, or declaring the f< r
feitnre thereof, seriously embarrassed the
work of this oflice. It is not deemed expedient
to certify additional lands to the railroad
companies, nor to award to the companies
lands in dispute between them and
settlers or other claimants pending the determination
of Congress in the premise*.
Large numbers of settlers are occupying such
lands, and it is important to them to
know whether they can receive
their titles from the United States, or
whether they will bo required to purchase
from the railroad companies. The prevailing
uncertainty necessarily retards improvements
and impairs values. New applications
are also constantly being made to enter tho
withdrawn lands under the public land laws.
I deem it of pressing importance to the public
interests that Congress should take early
action in respect to these grants."
The commissioner is of opinion that a general
law should be enacted clearly defining
the rights of citizens to take timber from tho
public lands for prescribed purposes, and
providing penalties for its unlawful cutting,
removal, destruction or waste,
On the subject of fraudulent land entries
the commissioner says:
"Investigations that have been made during
tho past year have developed the existence
of much fraud under the shield of the
pre-emption, homestead and timber culture
laws. These investigations have been based
upon complaints made to this oilico that
great quantities of valuable coal and
i 1- * *~ otwI tliA nvnil
n oil iaiiu^, lua-Mn ui umuvt, <?.m ?..v .......
able agricultural lands in whole regions of
grazing country have been monopolized by
persons who have caused fraudulent preemption
and commuted homestead entries
made by their agents and employes.
Efforts liavo been made to check unlawful
acts of this character in the coal
and iron regions of Alabama, the timber regions
of Minnesota, the grazing couutry in
California, and on agricultural- lands in the
Territory of Dakota by the special investigation
of cases of alleged frauds, trials before
local land oflicers to cancel alleged entries,
and the institution of civil and criminal suits.
Proceedings have been instituted in Missouri
to recover the title to several hundred
thousand aeres of land in that State fraudulently
entered many years ago under the
graduation act, which act has been repealed
"
The commissioner says that, in his opinion,

Report of the Commissioner of Tensions.
The annual report of W. W. Dudley, commissioner
of pensions, shows that at the
close of the liscal year ended June .*J0, 1882,
2S">.pensioners had been classified, as
follows:
Army invalids 173,138
Army widows, minor children and
dependent relatives 70,118
Navy invalids 2,301
Navy widows, minor children and
dependent relatives 1,953
Survivors of the war of 1812. 7,134
Widows of those who served in the
war of 1812 24,GG1
The names of 27,001 new pensioners wero
added to the rolls during the year, and the
names of (Ml) whoso pensions had previously
been dropped were restored, making an aggregate
increase to the rolls of 28,313. The
names of 11,410 pensioners were dropped
from the rolls for various causes, leaving a
net increase for the year of 10,807 pensioners.
At the close of the year the pension
paid to each pensioner averaged $102.70, and
the abrogate annual value of the whole roll
was N'2t?,34 1.101.02. The report says:
mil Iinvmnnf nf tlf'tisiolis CXCCCdS
the annual value by several mil lions of dollar.-?that
is to say, tlio total amount paid for
pensions during the year, exclusive of the
arrears due in .such pensions as were allowed
prior to January18711, was $.r>3,U24,nGG.liO;
the difference between this sum and the annual
value being the arrears due in new pensions
computed from tiie date of discharge
in the case of an invalid soldier, and from
the death of the soldier where pension was
allowed to the widow or others."
The amount paid during the year upon
firsi payments to new pensioners was $26, 121,
GUI). This amount was paid to 27,7013 pensio?ers.
The report gives in detail tho operations
of the bureau covering the period since 18(51,
the tables being arranged by years for tho
purpose of ready comparison. A table has
also been prepared which shows tho number
of pension claims filed and allowed since 18G1
and the disbursements on account of pensions
since 1MJ2. This table shows that tho
total number of claims filed during tho period
mentioned was 8:i7,.'>;i; the total number"
allowed, 472.77G, and tho aggregato disbursements
made, $u(5U,(Hl,$M.7;*. Included
in this amount is the sum of $2f>,234,2:{2.85
paid to pensioners for and on account of

Another table shows that there are 2!K),!HIG
claims for pensions now pending, and 75,208
on the rejected files of the ofiice. This exhibit
also shows that there were 7/5,087 claims
filed during the last fiscal year. The special
examination system substituted by Congress
at the suggestion of the commissioner for
the "special service" i<? said to be giving
great satisfaction. On this subject the commissioner
says:
This new system docs away with the ex
parte evidence formerly in use, so that the
claimant i.i now afforded the opportunity to
face the witnesses and to appear in person or
by counsel in the examination of his case.

Female Slook Speculators.
A Xew York correspondent, writing
up the city's female stock brokers,
says: Men ar? not allowed to enter, for
very good reasons. Women who deal
in stocks as a rule do it surreptitiously
and tliey consequently wish tit have as
much privacy as possible. As a rule
they buy on margins, as this requires
a smaller amount of money than to
buy the stocks out and out. 1 have
heard of women who became so fascinated
with speculation?why should
they not when men do??that they invested
every dollar they could get.
T.iey deny themselves necessary
tilings that they may have money for
investment, ami some women go so far
as to carry on a system of pilfering?
that is, they extract small sums of
money from their husband's pockets.
There arc several women who have
been successful "in stock speculations,

She goes downtown every day,
carrying a hand satchel, and does not
return to her lodgings until business
hours are over. 11 cr dress makes her
somewhat conspicuous, as she is very
fond of color, particularly green, because
it is the national color of Ireland,
probably. She has bought and sold
stocks for years, and has made money.
Hut the most successful female speculator
is Cruets Courtland. She has
made a fortune, and is as radiant-in
diamonds when dressed for a reception
as a popular prima donna. Iiut most
women who engage in speculation are
not successful, ami some of them are
not able to sustain theirlosses without

Tho Great Comet of 1882.
On tho 18th of September a comet of extraordinary
brilliancy suddenly flashed from
the sky to tho amazemont and delight of the
fow fortunate observers whoso gaze chanced
to bo directed toward tho heavens on tho
eventful day. The comet was close to tho
sun, three degrees west and a littlo 6outh
when first visible. Tho near proximity of
his overpowering light had no power to prevent
it from being readily seen by observers
possessed of ordinary visual powers. It was
a superb object in tho full daylight, when tho
stars weru hidden in tho star depths, developing
a well delined nucleus, and a tail a
minute lone, and giving proof of its wondrous
proportions by during to assert itself in the
near presence of tho powerful king of dayLord
Crawford telegraphed its discovery
by European observers to tho Harvard University
observatory, and, almost simultaneously,
tho news came that Mr. Miller, of
Leon, Kansas, had seen the celestial stranger.
(Hher observers were equally fortunate.
There was intense excitement in astronomical
circles. Tho men of science went eagerly
to work to find out whero tho erratic visitor
came from, whither it was bound, when it
would come back again, and if it were a newcomer
or an old friend returning to take a
peep at tho sun and his family of worlds.
Meantime, tho comet traveled on its
restless course, a million miles a day, littlo
heeding the commotion it had caused
among tho dwellers on this small planet.
Daily tho distance increased between it and
the sun, daily it yrew more dim to mortal
view, and almost daily in this vicinity was its
beaming face hidden by the clouds born of
tho protracted equinoctial storm. It has now
had its day in our view and has passed on
where tho telescope in southern latitudes
may dimly discern its retreating steps.
The men of science who make cometic astronomy
a specialty have exhausted their resources
in attempting to leani its history.
They have followed its every footstep with
scientific scrutiny and mathematical irrecision,
and, as is often tho case, havo reached
results which are diametrically opposed to
each other. They agree, however, on two
points, that tho comet is receding from the
sun and also from tho earth.
Tho startling theory advanced by Professor
Boss, of the Dudley observatory, Albany, has
excited much interest. In his view tho comet
discovered on tho 10th of September by
Cruls, of Ilio Janeiro, is identical with llie
new comet, and was then near perihelion,
which it passed on tho 17th. The professor
believes that in this comet wo behold a return
of the famous comets of 18415 and 1880.
Ho accounts for the present short period by
tho theory that at the two previous returns
it passed so near tho sun as to graze the
solar atmosphore, thus retarding its flight and
shortening its period. According to his supposition
the next period will bo still shorter,
and wo may expect the comet's return in
1884, if not sooner. It will thus keep on,
drawingjiearer and nearer to the sun until,
meeting with some obstacle, it plunges headlong
into his incandescent mass and is seen
no mor forever. This fino theory has tho
essential drawback that it diminishes a
cometic period of thirty-threo years into one
of less than three years. It will not be very
generally accepted until the year 188-1 rolls
round and shows tho samo bright comet in
full daylight, or until proof of its actual
plunge into the sun brings confirmation
strong to support f ho hypothesis.
Professor Chandler, of the Harvard University
observatory, an authority also in mattors
cometic, takes a different view of our
gossamer-tailed visitor. Ho does not thiuk
that tho new comet is identical with that of
1880, or that it will return in 1884, or that it
will fall into tho sun. The Cambridge astronomer
believes that tho new comet travels
in a track similar to the one of 1880, and
that the superb visitor to Southern climes
during that year is far on its way through'anknown
depths of space, not to return during
the present century. In his view, the prosent
comet is entirely independent of every other
member of the cometic family, simply taking
tho liberty of traveling behind the great
comet of 1880 in nearly the samo track, and
without herald or harbinger, making its first
appearance in full daylight as the great
comet of 1882.
What can ordinary observers do when doctors
disagree? A wise philosophy teaches
that tho work of the astronomers of tho present
generation is to observe and .vnit. It is
ntilir nlwnrvnf inn nilntl nnon observation that
will solve the simplest problems that now
vex the minds of the students of astronomy.
Nothing is more uncertain and unsatisfactory
than the attempt to unravel the history
of these erratic members of the matorial
universe that suddenly dart upon our vision
and as suddenly disappear from view. It is
none the less certain that they have a mission
to fullill in the grand economy of tho universe.
One of these days some one will find
out . what this mission is, and tl o observations
made on every comet that sweeps the
skies will help to bring about this much desired
result.?Scientific American.

t/UUIIMJll &IUIU iiiO [UU^icc 13 itimj iuirv?vv, -'j
the throng, aiul the loud remark of a young
woman who first noticed his strange actions
caused many well dressed persons to stand
directly in his way and stare at him. Ho
tried to make his way through the crowd, at
tho sam* time muttering some unintelligible
words. It was plain
that ho resented the presence
of the persons near him. As the women
and children closed about him he suddenly
drew from his coat-pocket a pair of sharppointed
carpenter's compasses and began to
strike right and left. His blows were struck
at random at first, whilo he bowed himself
until his uplifted right arm was above his
head. In a few seconds ho had struck aiid
wounded three women who were near him.
They were Miss Louise Checker, Miss Mary
Stolzenberger, and Miss M. L. King. So
quickly had tho wounds been indicted that
it was difficult to ascertain afterward
which woman had been stabbed
firs*. In a moment women and children
were flying in all directions, screaming and
crying. Wo men were near the maniac when
ho bejjan his attack. Terror took possession
of all who had witnessed tho stabbing.
Some ran into tho stores and closed tho doors
behind them. One tall woman, who wore a
black silk dress, warded off a blow with her
parasol and lied toward Broadway, knocking
over a smaller woman who stood in her
way. Children fell and were dragged along
tho sidewalk by their parents beyond the
reach of tho insane man.
For a few moments the maniac looked
about him as if bewildered at tho commotion
ho had caused. Then he made a dash
at the front door of Johnson's store. It was
fastened. He tried the door of the Palais
Royal with tho samo result, and then started
toward Fifth avenuo. At tho curb-stone of
tho avenue ho met Miss Paulino Fiedler and
Mrs. Mulligan. They had noticed persons
running awa^ from tho stores in front of
them, but they did not know tho cause until
the Frenchman came upon them. He struck
Miss Fiedler in the breast with the
steel points of tho compass and then passed
on quickly, while she fell back into the arms
I lw.t. ortmnnninn P.rrtacinrr flm rtVPlinn ho
met Thomas Worth, the artist, who was
walking in company with his wife, daughter
and little son. Mr. Worth and tho boy wore
behind tho others, and none of them had
seen Miss Fiedler stabbed. The Frenchman
went past them so quickly that Mrs. Worth
thought he had only brushed against her,
but she felt sharp pains in her sido at
onco, and she soon knew that
she had been stabbed. She cried out to her
husband, who caught her in his arms. Near
tho place where the Worth family were stood
Mrs. Mary Hnnley, the wife of a poliecmun.
with her two children. The madman rushed
at her and dealt her a murderous blow in the
breast. Then lie ran back across the avenue
toward a crowd which was gathering in front
of the 'Palais Royal. Men were there by
that time, however, and he retreated.
A short, thick-sot German, with a florid
complexion, tripped np the 1* renchman and
fell upon him. Several other men ran up,
seized the arms and logs of the maniac and
held him fast. Tho compasses were wrenched
away from him. Policeman Charles A.
Hanley, whose wife had beon stabbed, ran
up at the moment and took the prisoner into
custody. Other policemen hastened to the
spot soon afterward, and the demented man
was dragged off, struggling, toward the
Mercer street police station.
Ernest Doubourgne and his fathor, Virgile,
have been familiar figures in Now York city
for j ears. Few persons who have been acI
customed to walk in Broadway have failed
I to notice two wretched-looking men plodi
ding along, one in front of tho other, with
signs on their backs and breasts. The signs
I were mado of tin, pnintod black, and
| reached from their necks nearly to
their heels. Largo glaring white
letters told tho story of their fancied
wrongs. One sign charged the United States
government wnn navmg uepriveu me Hearers
of their rightful inheritance, and asked
that their wrongs bo righted. Another begun
with the words: "I demand the will and testament
of my brother, who died in California,
leaving a large property inheritance to
Virgile Doubotirgno." Jfythen continued to
state i;i a rambling way that the inheritance
had never reached him, and made some unintelligible
assertion of his innocence
of the crime charged, and concluded
with a fierce denunciation of the thieves. In
storm and sunshine, in cold and hot weather,
the old Frenchman and his son strolled
aimlessly, silently, vacantly along the streets,
speaking to nobody, and never addressing
each other. They were never seen apart and
never showed the slightest signs of being
friendly to each other. The father died in
i'Vbmary Inst at the age of seventy-live years,
and at the time of his death the newspapers
I'ontained accounts of the two men's singular
actions.
