THE PROPOSAL.
i ■ .
There was a great dinner party at Brandon
IT;::!, which w;-.s to be followed by a ball the
Ui'xt night. Numerous guests had arrived to
share iv these festivities, and among these !
v. as a very pretty young girl named Florence j
Mo'.yucux. She found her* If consigned to i
the care of a very good-lookiug young man, j
whom Lady Brandon had introduced to her
as Capt. Chichestcr. When they hud taken
their places~at the dinner table, which glit- j
tered with crystal and was tastefully decorated
with wreaths of I .v, ■:■■. she ventured a re
mark.
'•Ho\v pretty all this is! I never saw any- ;
thing like it before. The Bowers are laid in
wreaths upou the table-cloth, and I see some
oC my old country friends, wild flow"ers ami ■
■ ■:-. lam afraid they must feel very awk
ward."
"O!i, no," said Capt. Chichester, smiling.
''It is very pleasant to be admired and !
.bought pretty. I).> you not find it .-o: 1 j
believe*this is your first dinner party, is i: i
:
"How do you know:" inquired Florence. ;
anxiously. "Am j very awkward' Have 1 i
done anything wrong?"'
"Not :it all," laughed Capt. Chichester,
•'Lady Brandon told me, so 1 thought you
would know how the flowers felt."
"l--.ittli.it is quite different. Flowers can't |
do wrong, and besides they will be all dead !
to-morrow: they will pay for their pleasure."
"I am afraid you vsrill find pleasure and !
pain go li::uu in i "I." said Capt. Chiches
tcr. looking at her pretty, blushing face.
'•What vain shall I have to bear.'" she
asked, "everything is delightful; and the
hall to-morrow! I have never been at a ball."
At this moment her next neighbor awkward
ly upset a glass of chimpagne into her lap.
Florence uttered an exclamation of dismay.
-1 feel quite -jitilty," -.., ; I tpt. Chichest
er: '-I am a prophet of ill. Here is trouble
already: let me help you. Is your
ilrcss quite spoilt? 1?
■■' Hi, thank you!" cried Florence; "it is no
matter, Yes it does matter though, for this
was the dress 1 was to wear to-morrow
night."
"But what will you do?"
"Well, 1 have an old black dress, not near
ly as nice as thia, but it must do."
"But could you not put in a piece?" said
Capt. Chichester. '-What is the stuff called
—calico:"
"Oh, —tarlatan," said Florence, laugh- i
ing.
"But if you spoke to Lady Brandon, she
JvouM get you some."
"Oh, no!" besought Florence. "Pray
Bay nothing out it."
•■I must say you bear your pain heroical
ly," said Capt. Chichester, "and now I have
the pain of telling you Lady Brandon is bow
ing to you, and you must go."
- Florence ran upstairs and changed her
dress, making as little us she could of her
misfortune; but as soon as she had left the
room she became the subject of discussion
among the other ladies, Miss Jane Morris,, a
pour-faced, plain, and not very young lady
leading the attack.
"So that is Mi: -• Molyneux," she said, ad
dressing Miss Brandon. "My dear Ada, I
thought you said she was pretty Why, she
is not good looking, and she is such a flirt,
and so very forward—is not she, Jane if
you only heard the way she Went on with
Capt. I ■■■!:: ster! she "never lei him say a
word to me. Once he tried, but she instant
ly unset a glass of wine into her lap, and
EUch ;; fuss as she made about]it :i beard her
telling him she had no other dress to wear
at the ball."
"Oh, lam so sorry," said Ada. "I must
go and see what I can do for her."
"You need not trouble yourself. Depend
upon it, that young lady can take care of
herself. Shi probably has a piece of muslin
in her box."
"Oh, nonsense, Jane! You are too hard."
saiii Ada; "anil I think she i- very pretty;
she has such a lovely complexion, and such
pencilled eye-brows.'J
'•Pencilled indeed," said Miss Morris,
black lead pencils! I wonder docs she know
Captain Chichester is engaged to Lady Ida
Leigh. If not, somebody ought to tell her
there is no use in her setting her cap at
him.
Next day, on going to her room, Florence
to her surprise round Ada's maid busily en
pr.ged in repairing her damaged dress." On
being asked where she had got the muslin,
she said the footman had found It on the
ball table, and as it was addressed to Moly
ncux, he sent it up stairs.
Florence flew to thank Lady Brandon,but
neither she nor Ada knew anything about it.
She tried to pursue her inquiries, but the
gentleman turned off the conversation,Capt.
Chichester having apparently forgotten the
accident.
Mary and Jane Morris exchanged glances
ami smiles, and whispered:
■■! told you so. Just as if he cared about
her dress! You will see he will not go near
her night; I prophecy that."
Miss Morris's prophecy was not fulfilled,
however; for capt. Chichester danced so
often with Florence, and paid so much atten
tion to her that Miss Morris thought it her
duty tn tell her next day that he was engaged
to Lady Ida Leigh, and that there was no use
wasting time trying to'catch him.
'•And, oh! i:' you had seen her face, my
dear Ada! she was red as a turkey cock, and
almost told me I was impertinent!"
Meanwhile the days flew by agreeably to
Florence. Capt. Chichester was always by
her side, ever charming and 'tedder. " She
did hot dare to analyze her feelings. She
was drifting down a rapid current, leading
she knew not where, but there was no escape.
Xo one spoke of Lady Ida now; Every day
Capt. Chihestester's looks and words seemed
to give fresh proof of his affection, and she
lived in a dream of joy and love. The awak
ening came, win one morning at breakfast
she heard Sir Charles;Brandon say: Chiches
ter. here is an invitation for yon from
Lord V\ ellwood. I am going to shoot with
him to-morrow,and he.hopes 1 will brino-vou
with me; the shooting is very good, you "had
better come." Capt. Chichester hesitated
lie had promised his father to return at the
end of the week.
The day passed by heavily. The gentle
men were out shooting, the ladies took a
drive. At dinner Jane Morris seated her
self between Capt. Chichester and Florence
In the evening Sir Charles asked him to
play ecarte, and it was only when bidding
good-night that Capt. Chichester made his
adii'ux.
•I suppose I must say <rood-by, now" he
said to Florence. "We start so ' early in the
morning."
"Florence could not command her voice,
but gave him her hand.
"We shall meet again, I hope? Wo must
meet again. Do you ever come to town
"Oh, do move on Miss Molyneux," said
Jane Morris, "you are keeping us all stand
ing."
Florence disengaged her hand and went
up stairs. Her happiness was at an end.
They would never meet again, and he had
said nothing to her. Nay, it almost seemed
as if he had avoided speaking to her. What
a fool she had been to think he cared for her!
An unopen letter lay on the top of the pin
cushion. Who could be writing to her'
She took it up. There were initials upon the
envelope and a motto. The initials were "L.
C," the motto "True till death." The
words danced before her eyes. It was his
motto. It was not a dream, it was a letter
from Capt Chichester. She pressed it to her
lips, then tore it open, and read the contents
as quickly as her agitation would permit. It
began:
I have in vain tried to speak to you alone
but 1 cannot leave you without learning my
fate. You must have seeu that I love you
devotedly. Can you give me any hope? I
leave early to-morrow, but my future move
ments depend upon your answer. If you
love me let me have a few lines from you
to-night, and 1 will return from Wellwood
with Sir Charles on Friday. My room is the
last i-, the gallery. May I ask you to let me
have a few lines therefrom you to-night?
On your reply my happiness depends.
Ever yours devotedly.
L Chichesteb.
Florence let the letter fall into her lap;
the revulsion of feeling was almost too great.
The bitter tears of sorrow and disappoint
ment were still upon her cheeks, but some
subtle chemistry had changed them to a rain
bow of hope and joy. lie! oved her! he had
written to say so. And 'now she had the.
delightful task of replying. What should
she say! She could consult no one.
Florence wrote from an overflowing heart,
without stopping to choose the words, a joy
ful and happy acceptance of Capt. Chiches
ter's love. She went to bed at last, not, in
deed to sleep, but to Indulge in blissful
thoughts. She put Capt. Chichester's letter
; under her pillow, and felt it from time to
time to assure herself it was not a dream.
At length, towards morning, she fell into
.. peaceful slumber, from which she was
: awakened by the maid bringing her a cup of
; tea.
! Florence started up as her new-round
I happiness flashed upon her. A letter on the
S tray. She snatched it up. scarcely waiting
! for the maid to leave the room ere she tore it
i open. Yes, it was from him; she saw the
; ■.veil-known cipher and motto. The sound
: of wheels grating on the gravel roused her.
j She ran to the window, and peeping from
| behind the curtain saw Captain Chichestcr
: t'rive away. He was gone, but he had left a
letter, and she sat down to read it. But the
happy tender smile with which she opened it
was suddenly succeeded by a look of amaze
ment, then suddenly then by almost incredu
ious horror and despair. She pushed back
her hair from her face and turned the letter
over wildly, as if in hope of discovering
something to give her comfort. But no!
The words were not to be mistaken.
j My Deah Miss Moi.v\::rx: I scarcely
know how to write to you. There has been
some great mistake, or some one has cruelly
contrived a plan to give us both great pain.
Believe me I feel it most deeply when I tell
; you that I never wrote the letter to which you
I allude, nor any letter to you. It must be a
forgery. For your kind expressions towards
| me, which it has drawn forth, I can only of
| fer my sinccrest thanks, for believe me I
value your good opinion most highly. You
are not. mistaken in supposing that I ad
mire and esteem you beyond almost any
woman I haver nut. I would say more, but
I am not free. I am, in honor, bound to
another. I thought this was understood by
Lady Brandon, but 1 fear I have been to blame,
and that I have caused you pain. If you have
got the forged letter, will you be so kind
as to forward it to me at Wellwood; I have
no doubt I shall discover its author, and he
or she shall not escape punishment, I have
but one more word to add. My dear Miss
Molyneux, I know you are sensible and
brave, let no one know what has occurred.
This vile trick must be the work of some one
at Brandon hall. Do not let any one know
it has succeeded, and we shall yet battle and
disarm oui enemy. I could say much more,
but it is better not. Believe me, with the
siucercst regard and esteem, yours faithfully,
L. CIUCnESTEK.
Florence's mind was in such a tumult of
confused thoughts that she could scarcely
comprehend what had happened. She flew
to compare the hand-writing. No! they were
not the same, though there was some resem
blance. The envelope bore bore the same
initials and motto. Who could have done so
cruel an act .bine Morris. It Sashed upon
her like a conviction, but could it be possi
ble? Could one girl act so basely by another?
She inclosed the fatal letter to Capt. Chiches
ter, and then wrote to her mother, begging
her to summon her home on any pretense.
So some months passed away, and Flor
ence heard nothing of her friends; she felt
forgotten, forsaken, but one morning she
was awakened by a letter from Ada Brandon,
announcing her approaching marriage with
Lord Stoneleigh, and affectionately inviting
her to be her bridesmaid. At first Florence
shrank from the thought, but when she read
the postscript "1 suppose you have seen Lady
Ida's marriage in the paper," she resolved to
go to Brandon Hall.
"It is all over," she said; "he is married.
I will go and enjoy the happiness of others."
Bui it was with a sad heart that Florence
found herself driving up to the well-known
entrance of Brandon Hall. Ah! how differ
ent it all was now, she thought, as memory
carried her back to her former visit. There
was no one waiting to receive or welcome
her, and with a blank feeling she followed
the servant into the drawing-room, which
was deserted.
As the door closed behind her she heard
the sound of a quick footstep on the grass
without, a man's figure darkened the light
as he stepped in through the open window.
Florence's heart gave a great leap, and the
blood flew to her face. She turned to fly—
but her limbs were trembling so she could
not move, and then some . one caught her
hands, and spoke her name, and looking up,
she met the gaze of Capt. Chichester's blue
eyes.
"Florence," he cried, "forgive me! have
I frightened you? 1 have come here to see
you, to speak to you, to tell you I love you."
"Oh, no, no!" cried Florence, drawing
back. "Let me go! —you are married!
Ada told me."
"No, no!" cried Capt, Chichester laughing
"I am not married to Lady Ida. I am free.
I never loved her nor she me. It was only
a family arrangement, She is married to
Lord Layton. I have never cared for any
one but you."
"But but the letter," cried Florence.
"It is because I said"
"No, No!" he said, quite gravely now.
j "When Miss Morris stole my note-paper and
forged my handwriting she "only told you
half what I felt. Florence, Florence "my
darling! don't cry: you love me, do you I
not?" Florence made no answer, but as
she hid her face upon his shoulder she for
got all her doubts and sorrows in the rap
turous knowledge of his love.—

There has been but a poor -show in the
Bois, for the bitter east wind has relegated j
most of the beauties to their closed carriages, I
and even then they are few and far between. !
There are plenty of men, but the sight of
two bearded pillars of the Bourse, smoking
in a brougham with both windows closed, is
not refreshing. But there Is a far better
show of carriages and horses than we can
boast of in the Park; some of the horses are
magnificent animals, on the way to being
spoiled though bad driving. Mossoo always
was a desperate bad whip, and now he is
worse than ever, having taken up that worst
of all possible "forms" the hustling his
horses into a ma*l, rattling run, which is no
"pace" whatever. That splendid sight, a
horse -'going well within himself" is rarely
seen in Paris; the dogue-car, the village cart,
even the breack and coupe are rattled along
at fire-engine speed and with equal noise.
The drivers have seldom any control over
their animals, and I have seen three bad ac
j cidents within the last ten days. The hero
i of the Bois is old Papa Lcsseps, who rides
I solemnly about, attended by half a dozen of

Jusi to the right of the entrance to a small
illy-kept, almost unused graveyard at Leban
on, o. —a little city famed the state over as
being the home for years of the most gifted
orator of his time, Thomas Corwln— a
stained and moldy stone sacrophagus less
than three feet in height and six feet in
feet in length, Inclosed by a
rude fence of barbed wire, stretched upon
clumsy, unhewn posts. The yard bears every
evidence of neglect The ground around it
is sunken, and the grass and briers clamber
up the dingy stone tomb's side, and show a
disposition to cover it from view. The poor,
neglected grave is a stranger to the attention
of love guided hands. A cluster of sweet
violets now lift their bright faces trom the
grass near the head of the tomb, but they
came there by chance. A little later on, the
grave will be showered by the blackerry's
pretty white blossoms, but the brakes upon
which they burst to bloom were planted there
by kindly nature.
And yet beneath these rough slabs of stone
lie the remains of a noble young girl, upon
whom in life was bestowed the extravagant
love of one of America's grandest minded
men : a young girl whose untimely death sad
dened the life of one of the country's broadest
and widest statesmen. That neglected grave
coutaius the remains of a youthful woman,
over whose resting place a fitting monument
should be erected by the people whom her
father's brilliant talent so ably served. But
it is neglected, uncared for and almost un
known save to a few outside of Lebanon's
limits.
It is unpleasant to think that the offspring
of such noble parentage is thus permitted to
suffer long years of almost utter neglect
among a people who knew the story of her
birth and of her distinguished father's mer
its, but true, it is that in that humble grave
lie the remains of a daughter of Henry Clay
—the man whom Kentucky honors above all
men 1 the man who labored so grandly in the
interest of the nation, and was within a step
of the Presidential chair. Around this little
grave clusters a mournful, romantic history.
It was related to a Leader reporter, a few days
ago, by one of the old citizens of Lebanon,
while standing beside the stone saerophagus,
within the rusty barbed wire enclosure. Said
the Leader's friend:
'•Henry Clay, you know, was one of the
four prominent Presidential candidates in
1824, striving for election against three other
candidates—John Quincy Adams, Jackson
and Crawford. He received thirty-seven
electoral votes for the position.
"The Electoral college failed to make a
choice, and when the work of electing a pres
ident devolved upon the House of Represen
tatives, Clay, seeing that he could not win
himself, carried his strength over to Adams
and secured the latter's election. In March
of the following year, when Adams organiz
ed his cabinet, he tendered Clay the Prem
ier's portfolio. Clay went on to "Washing
ton, and after he had familiarized himself
with the duties of secretary of state, he re
turned on a visit to his home in Kentucky,
to see his family, among whom was a beau
tiful and intellectual daughter, Eliza, whom
he particularly loved. Eliza, at that time,
had just turned her twelfth year, but she was
wise and womanly for her years, and it was
one of the principal objects of Clay's long
and tedious journey to Kentucky to bring
Eliza to Washington with him on his re
turn. Travel in those days was not the easy
luxurious affair that it is now. The cum
brous stage-coach was the only public con
veyance that traversed the pikes, and the
trip from Kentucky to "Washington City was
both long and wearying. Henry Clay and
\ his daughter started for the capital from Lex
ington. Ivy., early in August. Miss Clay
was rather delicate, physically, and found
traveling by coach a very distressing affair.
The hotel fare on the route did not agree
with her, and the various changes and dis
comforts she experienced brought on a mal
ad}-inflammation of the bowels, I believe—
that became, so alarming when Lebanon was
reached, that a stop was made here and med
ical aid summoned to attend the young lady
at her hotel. She grew worse instead of bet
ter and one night after a delirious flight fol
lowed by a brief period of consciousness she
died in her father's arms.
■'It was impossible, for Mr. Clay to return
home with the remains of his dead child, so
it was determined to bury her here tempor
arily. The intention was to remove her
remains to Kentucky, and place them in the
family burial place.
"Mr. Clay, sad-hearted and weighted
down by grief, completed his journey to
"Washington. His busy and not untroubled
life at the capital, as Premier of Adams'
Cabinet, is a matter of public history. The
grass over his daughter's grave, and the
snows of two winters covered its meanly ap
pearance with spotless mantles of white, and
yet no move was transferred
made to have the remains
to Kentucky. In the third summer, I think
this rough sarcophagus was erected' by Mr.
Clay, who seemed to have determined not to
disturb his daughter's rest. Th<; inscription
upon the upper tablet tells the sad story
briefly."
The reporter leaned over, and after tak
ing up with a kerchief the water that filled up
the depressed portions of the lettering made
out the following:
In memory of
ELIZA M. CLAY,
Daughter of
lIENUV ANil LUCBETIA CLAY,
Who Died on the
lITH DAY OF AUGUST, 1825.
Cut down in the bloom of a promising
youth, while traveling through Ohio,
hence from Lexington, Ky., to Wash
• ingtoii city.
Iler parents, who have erected this monu
ment to her memory, console themselves
| with the hop o that she now abides In heaven
"This graveyard is a combination affair."
said the reporter's companion, "belonging to
the Methodist and Baptist churches. It "has
been but little used for a long time. During
Mr. Clay's life, the grave was kept clean by
the sexton, but when he died, no one seemed
to take an interest in it, and the leaves and
briers were allowed to clamber over it with
out hindrance. The whole graveyard was al
lowed to develop a rank growth of grass and
underbrush, and rubbish rapidly accumula
ted. Miss Clay's grave was almost forgotten
save by a few of the older citizens.
"When the Norman School was established
here, geoiogy was given a prominent place in
its course of study. The students were re
quired, and are still, to procure specimens of
the various rocks and fossils to be found in
this territory. Clinton limestone is one of
the rocks that students are required to obtain
specimens of, and as there is very little of it
around here, the task is not an easy one.
Miss Clay's sarcophagus is made entirely of
Clinton stone, and the students, with shock
ing recklessness and disregard for the sacred
ness of a human grave, got into the habit of
I coining here and chipping their specimens
from these slabs. See how shamefully they
are hacked up. Several ineffectual attempts
were made to stop this infamous practice.
"Something over a year ago an eccentric
old beachelor named Clayton Drakesuddenlv
took a profound interest in Miss Clay's grave
and iv the whole cemetery, in fact." He had
some means, and employed men to nicely
clean up the grave yard, and particularly
Miss Clay's tomb. The mold and lichen
were removed from the inclosing stones, and
the lettering cleared of the debris that had
settled there. Four heavy fence posts were
placed, one at either corner of the small
burial lot, and yards of barbed wire were
stretched around the corner pieces, so ar
ranged as to make it exceedingly difficult for
any one to get within the inclosure.
"The lonely sad-minded man, seemed at
last to have found congenial companionship
in the young girl's silent tomb. He devel
oped a passion for the unfortunate so early
stricken by death, and he visited her quiet
home daily, often sitting for hours at a time
beside her grave. This was particular^ the
case on pleasant Sundays. He was frequent
ly overheard holding conversation with an
1 imaginary Miss Clay, and during these talks
the true tenderness of bis nature found ex
pression.
"Poor Drake's eccentricities increased,
and it is said that a knowledge of his hope
less love led him Into using liquor excessive
ly. At any rate, he grew exceedingly mel
ancholy, and one Sunday morning ended his
life anil his mental anguish by sending a
pistol ball through his heart." ?• f '■ #.'
SCIENTIFIC MISCELLANY.
Modern astrology.—Mons. Montigny,Ol
Brussels, has noticed in the scintillation of
the stars a great preponderance of blue, the
color of water or lee in great thickness, when
the atmosphere is heavily charged with wat
ery vapor and rain is imminent. In June,
ISB3, he announced that for two months the
twinkling of the stars had shown less of the
blue than in the corresponding months of
previous years, while green, a fair weather
color, had been much more frequently set"v.
These observations led him to predict that
the succeeding part of the year would be un
usually dry. It is now stated this prediction
was so accurately fulfilled that 1883 in Brus
sels was the driest year since 1879. A study
of the atmospheric conditions with the rain
band spectroscope has enabled observers to
determine the character of immediately ap
proaching weather, but it is believed that no
spectroseopic indications have made it possi
ble to forecast, ever so roughly, many con
secutive mouths' weather.
French Insanity.—According to Mons.
Legoyt, the number of Insane admitted to
the public asylums of France Increased fifty
five per cent, between the years IS7I and
1880, although the population of the country
gained but four per cent. The cures num
bered ouly one in thirteen among the male
patients and one in sixteen of the female
patients, while the deaths were one in six of
the males and one in nine of the females.
Of every thousand cases of insanity, Mons.
Legoyt finds 007 to be due to physical causes,
such as old age, want, alcoholic excesses,
epilepsy, complaints peculiar to women, and
other nervous affections, while he ascribes
the remaining 393 to "moral causes," such
as loss of fortune, domestic trouble, disap
pointment in love, jealousy, disappointed
ambition, and highly-strung religious senti
ments. Suicide, it is interesting to note,
may be traced to the same causes as insanity.
A Gigantic Insect. —The discovery of
fossil remains of a remarkable insect in the
carboniferous deposits of Commentry,
France, has been announced to the Paris
Academy of Sciences by Mons. Charles
Brongniart. The creature must have been
at least twenty inches long, with an expanse
of wings of nearly twenty-eight inches. To
science this Insect of a long-past age will be
known as Dktyonewa monyi.
a gkeatmummy find—An immense necrop
olis hitherto undiscovered and unplundered,
has been found by Prof. Maspero at Ekh
meern, Upper Egypt. It is roughly estimated
to contain not less than 5,000 or 6,000 em
balmed dead of which perhaps twenty per
cent may prove to be of archaeological or
historical value. Part of the remains date
from the Ptolemaic period, but it Is probable
that spine of them is more ancient.
The annual meeting of the British Associ
ation for the advancement of Science, will
open at Montreal, August 2Gth and will close
September 3d. The week's session of the
American Association begins September 3d,
at Philadelphia. The fact that the British As
sociation is visiting America for the first
time will give unusual interest to these gath
erings of English-speaking scientists.
Prof. J. AViessnerhas pointed out that the
moistening of a plant increases the transpira
tion of its leaves and accelerates the flow of
its sap. This effect is beneficial if the soil
is sufficiently moist to supply the increased
demand of the roots, and injurious if the
ground is very dry. The foliage of plants,
therefore, should only be watered when the
roots are quite well supplied with moisture.
Remarkable dfferences of climate within
short distances were experienced last winter
in Norway. For instance,while at Christian
ia the ice was from twelve inches thick in
January, vegetation continued to grow at
Stavanger, where where the thermometer
fell to freezing-point only once during the

A French anatomist, Mons. Luys, has
found that when a person lies down or stands
upon his head the brain changes its position
in the skull in obedience to the law of gravi
tation. The movements lake place slowly,
five or six minutes being required for the
brain to adjust itsetf to a new attitude of the
body.
Dr. A. Ernst, of Caracas, Venezuela, cites

thick stratum of loose material were scarcely
injured.

THE YOUNG GRANTS.
How They ZookandHow They lAve—l'ic
tures of the Grant Trio.
Frederick Grant is a young man of stout
build and florid complexion, about thirty
five years old and bears a striking likeness
to his father, Ex-Presidenj Grant. He was
educated at West Point and served in the
regular army, chiefly out west, for some
years, reaching the rank of Colonel. Soon
after his marriage to Miss Honore, of Chica
go, a sister-in-law of Potter Palmer, some
five years ago, he resigned his commission
and taking up his residence in New York,
went into business. He and his wife have
lived very luxuriously and have entertained
considerable, giving many handsome din
ner parties.
Ulysses Grant, Jr., is the second son of
the ex-President, and is about thirty-two
years old. He studied law and was for some
years connected with the firm of work, Da
•yes, McNamee & Hilton. He left soon aft
er his marriage with a. wealthy western girl
some three years ago. It has always been
supposed that his marriage brought him suf
ficient increase of fortune to enable him to
abandon the law and become a partner in
the firm of Grant & Ward. He is rather
short in build, of florid complexion . like his
brother and wears a becoming brown mus
tache. Before his marriage he was very fond
of society, and since then has lived rather
quietly, although he and his wife have given
several handsome dinners and entertain
ments.
Jesse Grant is about twenty-seven years
old and has always been considered General
Grant's and his wife's favorite son. He re
sembles his brothers in general appearance,
but is slighter and much younger looking.
General Grant was very desirous of having
him enter the suspended firm, but his other
sons objected, not thinking that Jesse had
sufficient business experience. He resides
with his parents, at No. 3 East Sixty-sixth
treet, and is a member of the Lotos Ciub.
DeafJlute Beggar Sensation.
London Cable Telegram.
The famous deaf and dumb ninck-nack
peddler, who, during the past fourteen years,
attracted so much attention on London
Bridge, is dead, and the subject of the latest
sensation. He died in the Southwark Work
house, near the south end of the bridge.
Despite his infirmities he managed to sup
port himself by his small sales, and securing
official and police favor by the gentleness of
his demeanor and the intelligence of his con
j duct, he was allowed to occupy the aame
I uost on the great thoroughfare from year to i
year. • Before his death the peddler beckoned
to a hospital attendant and terrified him by ;
speaking to him. When the attendant re
covered from his astonishment, the beggar j
confessed that his deafness and dumbness
bad been feigned, ••• lie said lie was a Swiss I
gentleman of fortune, and belonged to one J
of the best families in the Republic. When <
a young man be was betrothed to a beautiful I
and accomplished lady. He was possessed '
of a most violent temper, and, in a lover's ,
quarrel oyer a trifle, one day, he so wounded i
the girl by the bitterness of his invective that '
she fell ill. The reproaches of his friends ■
for bis cruel conduct stung him so that he ,
became melancholy front remorse and left
home. i
lie then resolved to punish himself. He .
vowed to become a voluntary exile for twen- j
ty years, to earn his own living, leave his
fortune untouched, keep his relatives and
friends ignorant of his whereabouts, and go :
bareheaded and barefooted in all weather
during the entire time, and to listen to no j
one ami speak to no human being during the ;
ten last years of his exile.
If he lived to complete his vow he meant
to return home, and to use his fortune and ,
the remainder of his days in making his be- t
frothed happy, provided she were alive and
unmarried. lie had rigidly kept his vow. '
"But," he cried before he expired, "my time ,
is not quite up, and I must die before it is. I ]
have been punished as I deserved." Investi- '
gation, so far as it has gone, has proven that j
the peddler's story is entirely true, and his
family in Switzerland have been made ac- >
quainted with his death. !

A Positive Cure for Every Form of Skin J

THOUSANDS OF LETTERS in our possession i
repeat this story: I have been a terrible suf- i
fererforyears with Blood and Skin Humors; have
been obliged to shun public places by reason of :
my disfiguring humors: have had the best physi
cians : have spent hundreds of dollars and got no '
real relief until I used the Cuticuka Resolvent,
the new Blood Purifier, internally, and Cuticuka \
and Cuticura Soap, the Great Skin Cures and
skin Beautifiers, externally, which have cured
me and left my skin and blood as pure as a i
child's.
ALMOST INCREDIBLE.
James E. Richardson, Custom House, Mew Or
leans, on oath, says,—ln 1870 Scrofulous Ulcers
broke out on my body until I was a mass of cor
ruption. Everything known to the medical facul
ty was tried in vain. I became a mere wreck.
At times could not lift my hands to my head,
could not turn in bed; was in constant pain, and
looked upon life as a curse. No relief or cure in
ten years. In 1880 I heard of the Cuticura
Remedies, used them and was perfectly cured.
Sworn to before U. S. Com. J. D. Crawford.
