GARNET'S HUMILIATION.
BY MKS. M. A. BEX1SOX.
'•Some callers for Miss Westbnry," said
the well-traiuti'.l holel servant, as lie pre­
sented cards on a silver salver.
"Oh, mamma! it's those fashionable
Mays just the best people in Washing­
ton! John, tell them I'll be down very
soon. What shall I wear, mamma, please
'.ell me quick ?. If Cousin Stella wasn't
so awfully stupid she might have got my
lavender silk out by this time or my
lovt'ly blue one with the point-lace trim
mings. Pray tell me, somebody, what 1
shall wear."
"The silver-gray you have on with a
fresh ribbon will be»prettier than an elab­
orate dress. I shouldn't think of making
an evening toilet if I were you, even for
ihe Mays," said Stella.
"Thai's because you don't known any
thing about them," responded Garnet.
"What can such fashionable people have
in common with you Probably you'll
never speak to them in your life," and she
threw ribbons and necklace, watch and
chain recklessly on the marble-top lable
in her haste while her mother, who had
brought a costly, imported dress from the
wardrobe, proceeded to array her only
and beautiful child in it. For Garnet
was beautiful and had been brought up
as her father often said, "without regard
to cast'."
To please her, the old oil merchant had
consented to spend the wiuter in Wash­
ington at one of the first hotels and to
incur no end of expense, for Garnet was
wild to see and mingle with the best so.
ciety.
There also he had found his niece, the
daughter of his dead brother, ill at an or­
dinary boarding-house, and in the good­
ness of his heart had insisted upon her
leaving an ardious position and spending
the winter will) his lamily.
Feeling the need of rest and relaxation
Stella had accepted the kind offer, much
I so the spoiled Garnet's chagrin? who saw
only in the little plain figure and some­
what old fashioned garments a dowdy and
a foil. Iu fact she was very much asham­
ed of her eousia and took no pains tp hide
her dislike.
"They are worthy people, I believe,"
Stell answered with a Hush on her
cheek.
"Very worthy! Good paticnce! mam­
ma, here her—the very pink and perfec­
tion of Washington society! Very \tortliy
people, indeed! Why, there are persons
who would give half they are worth to be
called upon by the Mays. you really
think they are worthy people Stella How
much they would be obliged if they could
hear you."
Her cousin settled quietly in Jib her cor­
ner again \vi:h a »ok, but the flush on her
cheek had faded into paleness.
"2%ow, mamma, how do I Took? Oh,
but how awfully long to keep them wait­
ing. They probably saw in the papers
that I have just come out. I'll wear both
diamond rings, mamma. They say that
Miss Bella May wears an India shawl of
almost fabulous value, given to licr by
some great Eastern magnate, and that Miss
Anne is to marry an Earl, an English Earl,
think of that! If ever we go abroad it will
he of such advantage to be acquainted
with her."
She swept once or twice back and forth
her splendid train spifading in peacock
glory over the rich hues of the carpel,
then taking one last look in the cheval
mirror- aud posing her head in its daint­
iest fashion, she walked out of the room
like a litllu princess, conscious of being
at her best..
"Isn't she dressed a little too much for
a day call?" asked Mrs. Westbury, anx­
iously, as she saw the last iris glitter of
the rich silk vanish at the Ihpesliold.
"I think she is," said Estella, quiet­
ly
"I'm afraid so but what could I do?
Garnet lias had her own way so long that
I never pretend to dispute her wishes ot­
her tastes,"-sighed the meek little wo­
man—a sad confession for a mother to
make, as Estelle thought, with a pitying
look.
"Pray, are ihe Mays so very wonderful
asked Mrs. Westbury.
"I believe they are of very good famihv
aud I know they are- immensely rich,"
said Estelle "but what I have heard
them chiefly extolled for is their unaffect
ness and good sense. Though they are
really among the
.leaders of society here
they are as quiet and unassuming as—
well, as true nobility Of character always
makes one, I suppose. I am glad .'they
have called- upon Garnet. It may really
be considered quite an honor."
"They must have seen her, and she
is so handaoipe," replied -the gratified
mothl-iv
,s
Avaftij* *1^*1 Estelle *ddipg in her onlyJ^you iell me you knew them
Garnet, a little taken aback at sight of
the plain toilets of this distinguished
party, sailejJ. up to them with her grand­
est manner, and to cover her surprise -and
trepidation plunged ai once into conversa­
tion. She scarcely waited for questions,
but with the volubility of a school girl
just released from bondage talked and
talked.
Before long these strangers, as well as
^others, whose ears were sharpened by ho­
tel experience, knew the principal events
of her life what school she had attended
how she huted Blank, her native city what
sort of a house her father had bought and
furnished that part of her family were
traveling on the continent, and had sent
her costly presents how lfiuch she, too,
wanted to visit foreign countries and
numberless little incidents that kept her
visitors startled and almost silent.
At last she paused and began the con­
templation of her dress. Surely that most
exquisite point lace must impress them
favorably and the diamonds on her fin­
gers and in her ears—not many young
ladies could a fiord to wear them and then
the dress itself, how she ached lo inform
them lhat it was an importation from Paris,
and the work of the great artist, Worth,
the prince of dressmakers.
"Mamma," said Anne May, in a voice
strikingly unlike the high pitched tone of
Miss Garnet, "would it not be as well to
mention the business for which we called
upon Miss Westbury V"

shrine."
Meanwhile, Garnet, gratified ahd tci
umpant, entered ihe handsome parlor of
the hotel. Here and there in groups tat
visitors, ladies and gentlemen, and the
young girl was delighted at the sensation
caused by her appearance. For one little
moment Garnet was confused as, going
"up to a small group of people, said,
speaking to a lady: "Mrs. May, I pre
sume."
"Oh, no, that is Mrs. May by «be win
dow," responded the lady, pointing to an­
other circle with her fan.
"Mercy, mamma," cxclaimed Anne
May, as the over-dressed Garnet came
toward them, "we have evokfd a rain­
bow."
Garnet's ears tingled so that perhaps a
new splendor shot from their pendant
jewels, for was this not a prelude to an in­
vitation to their house, to some German
or grand reception, where she might see
the President, and some of the great men
of the country.
"Yes, dear," said Mrs. May, in the same
low, modulated tones. "You see, Miss
Westbury' we have been searching the
city for a missing friend, and having heard
accidentally, that you were a rehuion, we
called to see if you could give us any
information concerning Miss Stella Glen."
"Stella Glen! My cousin!" exclaimed
Garnet, the blood receding from her
checks, while she inwardly wondered at
the strange question. Was it possible af­
ter all, that this could have been ihe only
object of their visit.? Did they not come
to make her a call of acknowledgment, or
of compliment? Could it be only to in-
quire after Miss Stella, who perhaps they °wn brittle structure.
iook for a dressmaker? And \vh' knew
but she might have been one—she was
such a stickler for the right of women to
help themselves? and at the thought her
check burned.
She drew back a little, mortified to the
heart. Had all her fine clothes, her point
lace gone for nothing? llad she been'
called down, it seemed to her now, like a
servant, to tell whatever she knew about
her cousin
"Miss Glen is here, with us," said Gar­
net.
"What! in this hotel? Oh, mamma!"
exclaimed Miss Anne, with sparkling
eyes.
"I will go up and send her down," said
Garnet, rising.
"Pray, don't think us so rude," said
Mrs. May, and her hand was on the beil
rope.

A card was sent up by the servant,
while Garnet sat still, in mute surprise,
her high spirits gone, her vaniiy laid
low.
ed in the doorway, iu the same identical
black silk dress—rusty at that—which she
always wore. But now Garnet saw with
new eyes—saw a delicacy and beauty in
her face that had been sealed to her
hitherto.
What was her exceeding astonishment
to note that all the Mays rose, and with
outstretched hands welcomed her cousin
with the warmest demonstrations. Miss
Anne kissed her Mrs. May patted her
cheek aud called her darling Miss Belle
chidtd her foriiiot coming to see them
all had a kind w«rd, a real welcome, for
the girl Garnet had considered a little

At last the truth came out. Miss Glen
was the daughter of one who had been a
brave soldier during the war. Her father
had died, nobly giving his life up in the
heroic effort to save his superior officer—
and that officer was Col. May.
Miss Glen had then devoted herself to
the sick and wounded in hospital, and had
singularly enough, succeeded by her de­
votion in carrying through a terrible ill­
ness the sou of this same Col. May, a young
Lieutenant who had been dangerously
wonaded at Gettysburg.
From that time the Mays adopted her
as nearly as possible until they left for
Europe. They had been very anxious to
take her with llieiy, but as the young of­
ficer -atbresiid had' made-proposals of
marriage to Miss Glen, and been rejected,
she very wisely declined.
All this Garnet learned afterward. At
this time she only fidt a burning resent­
ment that this quiet, unfashionable cousin
had preceded her in the good graces ot
one of Ihe most prominent families in
towli, and it seemed like adding the one
drop too much when Mrs. May, after al­
most literally imploring a visit from
Miss Glen, turneci, as if she bethought
herself, and blandly added: "And
bring voiir little cousin with you." Ev.
idently they thought she was fresh from
school.

that she had been obliged to undergo.
In time, however, she thought better of
it. Finding that her quiet little cousin
had the entree into society, she conde­

tion or the lesson of that day's defeat.—
Youth's Companion.
Th* Intelligent Compositor,
Messrs. Geo. P. Rowell Co.:
A great deal, has of late, been said,
written and printed about the "Intelligent
Compositor." Frequently articles of some
considerable length, embodying a large
number of typographical and ungram
mntical errors, besides glaring absurdi­
ties, have been collected and put together
by some industrious hands, and given to
these much-abused type-stickers. No
sooner does an article appear in one pa­
per under that head, than it is copied', "all
over the land, by the other papers, thus
leading the public to infer that nearly all
the compositors must be blockheads and
numbskulls, and cannot understand a
tithe of their business.
There is not a shadow of a doubt that
the pickers-up of type are as prone to
commit errors as any one else and it is
somewhat remarkable that many of them
make so few, when it is taken into con­
sideration that they have to pick up so
many thousand separate letters each day
and week. Did the uninitiated understand,
even in a small degree, the intricacies of
a composing room, they would marvel at
the correctness of their work.
It is a noticeable fact—and the state­
ment can be verefied—that manuscript is
often placed in the hands of compositors
that cannot be deciphered by the writers
themselves. Some of it is so bad that one
would almost come to the conclusion that
a spider had fallen into an ink bottle, ex
trieated himself, and crawled over the pa­
per to rid himself of the inky fluid. With
such chirography before him, is it strange
that mistakes occur? The wonder is that
there is not more of them.
Now, instead of these wiseacres making
a butt of the intelligent compositor, it cer­
tainly would be more creditable to them
to give the printer crcilit for his intelli­
gence and learing- How would some of
them like to see their effusions in print
exactly as they put it down on paper?
They, doubtless, would be horrified, and
deny the paternity of their offspring. And.
how may, pray—and smart ones, too—un­
derstand punctuation, capitalization,spel­
ling, and even constructing their senten­
ces by the rules of grammar? Very few.
They have to rely solely on the printer
for the medicine, as it were, thai they give
to their articles to make tliem appear in a
convalesccnt siate before a discerning and
discriminating community. It would be
amusing and laughable, truly, to print
verbatim the manuscript of some of the
carpers who find fault with t'ae intelligent
compositor, because a few mistakes occa­
sionally occur. Let those, who live in
glass houses, throw no stones, for they
may posssibly rebound and destroy their
The casual reader of newspapers and
magazine^does not stop to criticise a
typographical mistake. It is only those
who so assiduously find fault with others
that make the most blunders themselves,
for the very purpose of shielding their
own shortcomings. The fact is patent,
that watever particular failing or weak­
ness a person has, they imagine everyone
to~be affected with the same malady and
disorder. An inebriated man believes that
every man he meets is in the same condi­
tion. So it is with these carpers, being
full of errors and mistakes themselves,
suppose the intelligent compositor to be
laboring under the same fatality.
It is positively true—and none knows
it so well as the so-called "Intelligent
Compositor"—that many writers, aud
even ir anv reporters and editors know less
about punctuation, capitalization and
even spelling than a schooi-boy. So, too,
their manuscript would compare favorably

Upon Story County Lynchcn—Cravl
Murder of an Old Farmer,
Des Moines*, Iowa, Telegraph, May 10.
Early this morning it was rumored here
lhat George N. Kirkman, a Story county
farmer, had been taken out of his bed
Sunday morning and hanged until he was
dead, by parties unknown. The report
was at first discredited, but later in the day
reliable reports were received stating that
such was the fact. A coroncr's inquest
was held Sunday afternoon. They found
the body badly bruised and mangled, and
that he had come to his death by banging
at the hands of a mob, only four or five of
whom directly participated, but as to who
the parties were, nothing was developed.
The testimony at the inquest showed that
no noise was heard until Mr. Kirkman
was seized from Mrs. Kirkman's side in
the bed. So suddenly was everything
done, the rope put around his neck and
hauled out ofthe house—that he only said
one word—"Marian:i—for his son-in-law,
Mai
•ian Ilaynes. Mrs. Kirkman screamed
and tried to catch holu of him, rapped on
the door where Mr. and Mrs. Haynes were
sleeping, and-was going to follow Mr.
Kirkman out of doors, but her daughter'
would not let her. The entire family then
remained in the kitchcn bedroom until
daylight before giving the alarm. Two
shots were fired as he was jerked out of
the house. From Ihe door the track looks
as though he had been jerked several feet.
As they passed from the kitchen-door they
immediately turned south, went through
the front gate in front of the south door,
and then turned west. Shortly after pas
stng through the front gate signs of drag­
ging were visible, then for a short dis^
tance the signs disappeared, and then fof
about the last half of the distance he was
dragged over the entire ground. It ap­
peared that, just after falling the last time
he was dragged against and over a stump,
after which no signs of struggling were
visible. A few places along the route
blood was visible. The tree upon which
he was hung was about four inches in
diameter. The limb over which the rope
was drawn was only about, one inch in
diameter. The bark was nearly worn
through by the friction of the rop?\ Tho
limb was six feet high. Mr. Ivirkliain
was drawn up wrth his back against the
tree, his legs crossed and still resting on
the ground. Had he been straight liia
knees would probably have touched the
ground. The place where lie was hung
was nearly 20 feet from the place where
he was taken last winter by a mob of
about eight or tt and threatened to bo
hung. To follow so near the same old
track i! looks as though the parties had
been over the around before.

Mr. George N. Kirkman was aged be­
tween 55 and oS years had lived in Story
county 23 years seitled on his present
farm in Indian Creek townliship, about a
mile from Peoria City, in February, 1852,
and had a family of nine children—three
sons and six daughters. Five of his chil­
dren are married. Some time last fall
some trouble arose between Mr. and Mrs.
Kirl-iman some trifling cause, in which
in the language ofMr. Kirkman, the blame
was upon each about bait and half. Mrs.
Kirkman left the house, aud went to her
son-in-law, Mr. Zinsmaster A short timo
after, Mr. ZinsmasUr's barn was burned,
and Mr. Kirkman was accused of being
the person who sot it on fire. Mr. Zins­
master lived in Polk county, and Mr. Kirk­
man was bound over for his appearance
at the District Court. The day after the
barn was burned Mr. Kirkman was taken
into the timber, kicked and hauled about
in a very rough manner, and wa^ threat­
ened to be hung then, and probably would
have been had the mob agreed among
themselves. That was in daylight. Mr.
Kirkman had three parties arrested and
bound over to the District Court in Story
county. When the court met in Des
Moines no indictment was found against
Kirkman, and he was consequently dis­
charged. The District Court in Story
county will meet nest Tuesday, and the
