It was about 12 o'clock on a dark, cold February night ; the rain bad been pour ing down steadily for several days. One could hardly imagine a more bleak, deso late station than Elmwood on that night,' with one lamp making darkness visible, the platform an Inch deep in rain, and a sleepy station-master and porter giving the only indication of life. Mr. Hugh Lambert, as be got out of the train aud went, to look alter his luggage, felt very thankful that he had only a mile to drive before reaching home. He waa a man or about forty, old ror bis years, and slightly gray; in figure he waa tall and well made, and bis face had an expression of cleverness. As a rule, few passengers alighted at Elmwood by that late train ; but on this night there were two besides Hugh Lam berta young lady and her maid, with a goodly pile of luggage. Hugh was wonder ing a little as to where they could be going, when he heard the girl ask the station-master If there was a carriage waiting from Mrs. Newton, of Priarton. Why, the road hat bin blocked since six o'clock, miss. There's bin a big land-slip, and they're working all night to get it cleared. 1 don't think you'll get to Priar ton this week, what with the slip and the floods." "What am I to do?" exclaimed the girl, with a lace or blank despair. "Is there no other road to get to Priarton?" Hugh Lambert was listening with some interest. Mrs. Newton was bis nearest neighbor, and a great friend of his ; this must be ber niece, of whom be had often heard. He approached.the lady and raised his hat courteously. "I am sorry to say there is no other road to Priarton, nor Is there any way or getting there to-night. I heard or the land-slide only about an hour ago, and know that the road is completely blockaded." "What can I do?" the girl asked. ''Is there an inn here, or must I take the next train back to the nearest town?" "The last train's gone an hour ; and there hain't no inn in tbe country side save pub lic" this from the porter. "You must let me arrange this matter ror you," said Hugh Lambert. "I think I must be speaking to Mrs. Newton's niece, Miss Nayton?" "You have guessed rightly." And Dor thy Nayton looked up eagerly, delighted to find some one to whom she was known, if only by name She was a bright little body, pleasant looking, though she could not lay claim to great beauty a brunette, with a clear, olhe complexion, dark eyes and straight nose. She bad crossed from Ireland that afternoon, she told her new acquaintance ; aud so, of course, her aunt might not have expected her to arrive so early. "You must let me take care or you," Lambert said. "My place Is close by; I will take you there, and send a messenger to your aunt as soon as possible, to let her know that you are safe." Just at that minute a horse was beard galloping up the dark road, and presently a man came hurrying into tbe station. "Is there a young lady here for Priar ton ?" he asked. Dorthy went forward eagerly. "If you please, miss, here's a note from Mrs. Newton. I've been four hours getting here ; I bad to ride twelve miles round, for the road's blocked, and the floods are out. I bad to get a boat at the low meadows, and borrow another horse on this side, and that has delayed me In getting here." Hardly waiting to listen to this long ex planation from the old coachman, Dorthy tore open tbe note and read : "My Dearest Child: 1 am in great distress. The road between here and tbe station has been blocked by a tremendous land-slide, so it is impossible to send the carriage to meet you. I have, therefore, forwarded a note to my great Mend, Hugh Lambert, asking bim to send ror you and give you and your maid shelter for tbe night till we see what is to be done. He is tbe only neighbor on that side or the land-slip, and Is so charming that you need not mind going to him; it is, Indeed, the only thing te be done. "In great haste, your loving aunt, "Mary Nkwtos." The coachman had also given Hugh Lam bert a note. "I was to have left it at Leyton, sir," he said; "but T heard you was coming by this train." Lambert glanced at the conteuts, and then turned to Dorthy. "Your aunt has kindly trusted you to me now; so you won't mind accompanying me home, will you?" he asked. "I think it Is you who ought to mind," was Dortby.'s iaswer. "I am afraid we shall be giving you too much trouble. It's very good of you." A minute later, the waa seated beside bim in .the. dog-cart, spinning along the dark roads into what waa to her an un known! country. i .. Dorthy was very tired, and was thankrul to reach 'the bouse arid be handed over to the care of the house-keeper. Very soon the waa rait asleep in an old-fashioned room that would hare seemed very ghostly to her only that the was too fatigued to take much heed or ber surrounding; and besides, ber maid was in tbe dressing-room, aad within call. . vTbe aet morning, Dorthy waa down lor O-aO'bre'akTtst, and was shown Into a bright little morning room.

Jt very aooastrack Hugh Lambert that she waa difcrest from aaoat of the girl's he had met, and she Interested hi aceordiaf- It waa with feeling ot relief that, be found, the road would be ifflBaaeiblefor several days ; so be wrote to Mrs. Xewtosty begging her to let Dorthy remain with him instead of returning home, and asked an elderly cousin who lived a few stations' off, to come and act as chaperon. The old lady accepted the Invitation and the post alloted to her ; but, aa she -was great invalid, Dorthy and Hugh were con stantly left together. He liked to sit In the dusk and hear her sweet voice singing to to him, to watch ber arranging flowers, and to consult her about the garden. The girt felt supremely happy be waa to kind to her, such an agreeable companion in every way, that she thoroughly enjoyed his socio ty. A fortnight went by. and the road was pronounced perfecUy .if,, u.e floods had subsided. So Hugh had do excuse for detaining hit fair guest longer, and, though very reluctant to part with her, he drove her over to Priarton.. She was standing fn the hail ai he left that night, after dinner, and held out ber hand to tay good bye. "I can't thank you enough for all your kindness," she said, sottly. "Nay, my child, I cannot tell you what a a pleaiure it baa been to me ; but, perhaps, you will know tome day," be replied ; aad tho went up ttairt wondering what he meant. She believed to firmly In Platonic friend ship that the would not let henelf think that her feeling toward Hugh Lambert was anything else, and although the knew he disbelieved In her theory In the abstract for they had argued the subject very warm ly still she thought that bit sentiments were well defined In ber case, Hugh Lambert felt that tometbing very bright had come into bis life since be had known Dorthy. She was so quaint and naive in speech, new and fresh with her ideas and theories, ao free and unaffected In manner, and yet so womanly withal, that during those few days they had spent together, the bad completely won bit heart, But be wat not likely to act on the tpur of the, moment ; he waa to much older than the, bow could he.ever expect that bright little body to regard him at anything but a steady-going friend? But still, day after day, be would ride over to tee her at Prairton, and when he returned, be would tit and think of how she used to look in tbe rooms that now seemed to desolate. How be longed in the evenings for the sound or her Voice tinging to bim, "The Land o' the Leal," or" A tild Robin Gray." And Dortby began to watch for hit com ing, and U by chance something' detained bim at home, bow long the day teemed, and how uninteresting everything was. At first tbe justified itto herself by the thought of her friendship lor' him a friendship which had ripened quickly in the peculiar circumstances or their meeting, but little by little, as time passed, and she had been at Prairton nearly three months, it dawned upon the girl that the reeling she entertain, ed for Hugh Lambert was tometbing more than mere friendship. She fought against herself with all the strength of her nature ; she could not bear to prove false to her own theoriet and traitor to her favorite cause; but finally she fell the struggle was hopeless, and made up hermind to keep her secret securely locked In her own bosom. While gathering primroses one tweet spring afternoon, Dorthy heard a step crush tbe dead leaves, and saw Hugh coming to ward her. "I want to speak to you," be said. "Will you walk with me a little ?" Frscntly be turned sharply, and took both her hands, looking more in earnest than she bad ever teen him look. "I can't stand this any longer," be cried out. "I must know my fate one way or the other. It is true that I am years older, but no one will ever care for you better than I do. II you cannot love me la return, I will go away and never worry you any more, I give you my word. Am I to go, Dortby?" "Go! oh, no!" the. gasped out, hardly able to realize what tbe was saying, only feeling as if the could not breathe, ber heart beat to wildly. Not long afterward there waa a happy wedding at the dear old Irish home ; and then Dortby came back to brighten up tbe the bouse at Leyton. Hugh Lambert would have been lets, or more than a man If he could have resisted triumphing over her a little, and, as they went into tbe library, where be and she bad bravely defended theories, he turned and said : "By-the-by, Dortby, who was right, after all, abont Platonic friendthlps?" ARE TRAFFIC CHAR8ES TO0 LOW ? Tbe more tbe subject of railway traffic rates is examined the more apparent, says the Railroad Indicator. It will become tbat competition and the desire to meet the pn lie demand for cheap transportation hat re sulted In bringing down freight rates on tbe trunk lines to a degree tbat t'ocs not leave areatonableprofittotfaestockholdera. Div idends may be paid at regular stated peri ods on shares, yet there are but few of these roads that are not forced to increase their indebtedness on every call for unusual ex penditure. To the most successful compa nies an end mutt come to thla continual en largement of capital account. Tbla cannot go on forever, and on many roads it cannot be continued much longer without resum ing in irreparable disaster. On the rail roads of tbe United States, and especially on what are known as trunk roads, traffic Is conducted at a lower price than on tbe railroads of any other country where this means or transportation Is In use. It is too low In proportion to the cost or conducting operations. On tbe English railways tbe average ratio of expenses to earnlsgs is about SZ per cent, and on American roads the average is about 00 per cent., while the average earnings per ton per mile are In fa vor of the English roads. In but very few easet do any European road carry freight at the rate of one cent per ton and mlltv In Holland potatoes in open trucks are car ried 240 miles at tha rate tQM ccat per ton and mile; in Saxony tbe tame service costs 1.25 cent ; in Ireland about 1.4 cent. Grain is carried from Glasgow to Newcastle 166 miles, for about 1.6 cent per ton aad mile. In the United States grain la carried from Chicago to New York for about 0.83 cent per ton and mile, aad provisions for about OS ceat per ton aad mile. This rate, with an average amount of tonnage to be moved, is found on the trunk roads to be 'sufficient 1 to pay working expeaset, axed eluufes.aa a fair dividend annually oa shares, but to fall short of maiataiaiasTthe load bar com- plete efficiency, aad of paying far improve ments aad larger facilities for increased traffic Aa a - aaeMslty. arWHIreasil capital must be soaftH lW was tAlswgsais'at oflhe working capacity of the several roads.

LAND 8RANT BUESTIQN, State Aftit Crassfara's Explaatita. We are in receipt of a copy or tbe briet filed In the Interior department In relation to the alleged excess or lands certified to the Atchison, Topeka A Santa Fe Railroad Company in this State. Tbe brier was pre pared by non. S. J. 'Crawford, agent for tbe State at Washington, and shows that on the lltb or January the commissioner of tbe general land office stated In on offi cial communication to the secretary of the Interior tbat an excess of Indemnity lands bad been approved lor the Santa Ke Com pany. The act or congress by, which tbe grant or lands was made to the Santa Fe road was passed in 1883, Tbe length or this line In Kansas is 469.5 miles, but the. length of road for which grants vs; ere made is for 100 miles less, as tbe first hundred miles of this road was through lands urauted the other railroads and Indian lands, with Ibe excep tion of a few tracts., These. Indian lands were excepted, and would have, been had no express reservation been made. Mr. Crawford In the pamphlet goes on to say that if" every odd section within tbe ten-mile granted limits had been a frill sec tion, and every acre vacant and unappro priated, the total amount of land that have inured to the company under this grant, would have been 3,000 sections, or 2f 1,600 acres. There hare been approved and certeded to the company up to the pres ent date, 2,743,938.47 acres,to Which amount is to be added 189,000 acres still remaining uncertified within granted limits (lists of which are now pending before the depart: ment ol the interior for certification), mak ing a foil total or 2,934,933 acres', or 572,338 acres more than was granted by congress for this road. But all tbe land on tho line of tbe road was not vacant land. For more than 40 miles beyand the 100-mile limit above men tioned, tbe land bad beea largely taken up by prior disposals and appropriation?, and on the remainder or the line a considerable amount had also beeu disposed .or or ap propriated by valid claims prcvioua-to the grant. Tbe amount or exeeat is 5i2,33S acres, to which added tbe amount, disposed or prior, to tbe date ol the grant to home stead and pre-emption scltlcrt-, etc., being. 150,000, tbe total is.723,338 acres. If there had been no prior disposal of lands tbe ex cess would' still be 532,338 acres. Tbe questions submitted by the com missioner are at to whether railroad in demnity is allowable under this grant in any of tbe following particulars : 1. For lands embraced in Indian reser vations at date or railroad grant, or for In dian lands within said reservations where the .same bad previously been disposed or for the benefit or the Indians. 2. For lands selected by tbe State for school purposes, or covered by valid claims at tbe date of tbe grant. 3. For lands previously' granted to an other railroad company. 4. For lands within tbe grant for the A, T S. F. road which have been relinquish ed by this road to a company having a sub sequent grant. Mr. Crawford' takes the general ground that tbe first, third and fourth' questions do not exist in this case, and quotes decisions of tbe supreme court ol the United States to' fortify his position. At to the second question', be says tbat upon tbe plain, stat utory lawbf the'ease there Is, andean be, no manner ol doubt. He further says t Now only public lands In tbe statutory sense or the public land lawi were granted. Lands to which the title of tbe United Statct bad already passed coald not be granted. Congress cannot grant what the United States does net possess.- The Unit ed States doe not possets what It bat al ready sold or conveyed. Such laads are not public land In any sense. Tbey have ceased to be lands or tbe United States, and have become private property. Cosgesa could not, .without a breach of public faitb,.' grant any lands it bad contracted to sell, or convey. It did. net intend to graut such laads. It had contracted to sell tad-eouvey. lands oceupied by homettead and pre-emption settlements. It had made other pro visions In respect toother lands which bad beea appropriated in the same manner un der such provisions. The fattb or tbe United States had been pledged iu respect to such lands.--IttJBWlgatioos were en. cumbent upon tbe. title'. It .was not legally competent for congress to grant these land away from those wbo bad a prior legal or equitable claim to them. Tbat its purpose might not, be misunderstood it expressly excepted tuch lands, from the grant and de clared it did not grant them. Tbe point at Issue in, the wbole matter is not an application to the interior depart ment to forfeit any.of tbe land grant of the Santa Fe road or of any other road. Tbe legislature at its recent cession pasted a resolution, which, In a general way, direct ed an inquiry, to be made on behalf of tie State as to any.'landi.tyblcb might not have been .properly earned.by .railroad compan ies, and therefore still properly public do main, wltbla, the. State, from the proctitis of the sale of which ibe State would, be entitled to five per cent. The claim In this case,, as can, readily be, seen, la ujat tbe Santa, Fe roailbaa already. received an ex cess ofjaovU wjtbin the Indemnity limit, sad tbat for this reason a. portion at least of, tbe.landt claimed, within, the but sec tion, of.tweoty miles should, bewilbaeld front th compaay.and regarded as public domain. Therefore, tbe issue i one of computation simply, and not as to the le gality of the .rraat orJU forfeitable aatare.

When morning came tbe colonists were al on the road, with Payne and Lieut. Stevens following up tbe rear, till, we reach ed Deep Fork. Here a crossing had to be made. Alter the crossing was made, Payne, Stevens and six nezro soldiers crossed, and started ahead of the colony agsln. The next we saw or Payne was on me camp-ground of surrender, on the banks of the North Cauadlan river. The next ilay nobody was allowed to leave camp. Along In the even ing, Capt- Carroll arrived on the ground with ninety-one negro soldiers, pitching camp in Iront ol us. As soon as 'their camp was staked, Capt. Carroll sent Lieut. Ste vens to Payne, requesting him to come over to Capt.Carroll's tent,and also tent afterMr. W. II. Osburn. Mr. Oj'buru refused to go, saying, that If Carroll had any business with him, be should come to bU'tcnt. Payne marched ofl with Stevens to Carroll's tent. Arriving there, the Uavanas were pasted arouud, and a general smoke of peace and a good time was bad at the tent. That was tbe last of Payne ; he never appeared be fore the colony again ; bis bravery was gone, and be gave no Instructions to do anything to keeD the colonists together, till In tbe morning a man coming to the camp,, report ed tbat Capt Carroll bad received a tele gram to let the colonists remain ihrce days till further orders. Shortly after that, Stev ens, coming over to me camp, gave orucrt that all who wished to return home could re turn on that day unmolested, and thote that would not go, would be taken, back th next day. So I went oyer to tell to Capt. Carroll, that It was reported in camp tbat wc had three days to rest up our teams. He said no, that lie. never gare any such order, never gave Payne any time, And I say, tbat tbl Ave days time given to Payne,, as. stated by Couch, is not the. case at all. It is a scheme of Payne and his whisky boomers to blindfold innocent peo ple, and draw them on to be fooled again. I made up my mind it was understood be tween Couch. Payne and Cameron, Payne's attorncy.at-law, to disorganize the colony, because in a speech made by Cameron In tbe evening, he said, that the government bad a right to contiscato all our property. This speech did more to disorganize the colony than any other 'thing, and 'Cameron was the roan that Payne employed to do it. So I conclude the colony was completely sold out. Respectfully, H. F. lUfiMnV. A LECTURE ON LEfiS. Objection to the Exposure of That Fact mat Are uniyurn riirtauea. There Is an outcry against legs. We are told that'Wc baVci too much or tbem at the aters. We' do ! and I lay this not'becaus'c tbe exhibition or them Is Indecenr, hot be cause It Is ugly. What a woman Is expect ed to hide and expected loshowls purely a question or convention. I remember once passing an afternoon lounglng.alioiit at tbe Sweet Waters of Aslaon'mo Bosphorus. Princesses and other lights or tbe harem, were being dragged about-In bullock carts. Sooo some of them got out of their convey ances and 'sat down on the grass. Among tbem waia girl whom I felt coavlaeed wat pretty, and I tat down near' ber. Her face waa covered witb a1 thin veil. Nothing would have: lndneed her to raise it, but slowly sbepulleahcrwidetronsersupabove ber knee and proceeded to aerate Is her bare leg. This was her Idea of a mild, flirtation witb a Frank. And why notr Her Eng lish sister would go to a ball witb neck aad arms bare ; or, to-put It more correctly.wltb about a quarter, of ber bosly concealed only by shonWer straps. Am I not right, there fore, In saying that the role aa to what por tion of the female form dlvlaemayiwltb propriety, be submitted to the eyes or man kind Is local and not general ? Here' faces, necks, backs, shoulders anU arms may be shown; In the east lega-niar be tbowa; white Inulitland, according to all accoiintSr the ladles walkabout like Kve belore tb fall. Rut even In England tbe rule It different in theatres and in ball rooms. If a girl were to amiear at th latter In a dress only reaeb'ing'dewcHo her'i knees; the Jtrbalal sej regarded as a peculiar girl, whereas she might do this on the stage without advene comment. I make Ihcse preliminary marks In order to prove that I approach tbe solemn subject without prejudice. Ten or twelvc.years ago the .ballet girls used, to wear skirts which came down a Ut ile below theknee. These skirt were made or muslin, and there were, to many or them that when their wearers were dancing tbey looked like a cloud-, The effect was pretty and graceful. .But. of late Ihjs cloud of skirts has disappeared, and' has been re placed 'by a piece .or' silk fitting tightly to the figure, like the '-tmoks" of .an acrobat, anil which tfo not coyer any part or the leg. To emulate this display tbe principal dancers eschew everything except one mus lin petticoat, and this it a very, short one. What js. the result? Exceeding uinesa. suppose It may be taken aa x rule that when a girl lias smal thin arms, she gener ally has small, tbfn. legs. Anyone, how ever, has only to look at tbe modern ballet girl to perccivl- that, although ber arras may be sticks her Jezs arc elephantine in their proportion. Tbl ft because, she pads the latter, and cannot pad the former. This I bow it I done : Tbe girl goes to a tbestri rieai hosier; the shape of ber leg is taken, and then a pair of.tighis'Umade, with wool woven into them, as the case, may require. A girt with, her legs done up In cotton wool with a small piece or silk drawn tightly In by band", and with naked arm and shonlV ders. cannot lie said to be maklec an inde cent exhibition out o.hVraelf, bat, she I ungainly. She shocks no.morslity. but she does shock good taste.-, .In me name, there fore, Of goon taste, mm us go isex to mo days or cloudy mailiu.luJtt-Ttmti.

A dalnly little girl or eight or nine, with dangerous big. eyes, appeared In the libra. iry of the White Hbuis the other.day when it was roil or great men or one sort and an other, and quietly waited her turn to speak with tbe tall, dignified gentleman with tb gray whiskers abd hair, and the sober fac and courteous manner down by tbe bow window In tbe south end of th room.

THE FEMININE MwUTH. A person who ha made the feminin month the subject or much study, volun teers his conclusions to male wtb sweet hearts. The sre a follows :" ir ber mouth Is very small, there is not much mind, but. overmuch- shallow senti ment. If thhssy. very; trz; mouth, she will possess a good braiobut tbe trouble is In kissing-It. Large mouths put a man to an artistic test; he will' be driven to his wit's end whether to begin at' One corner and conclude at the other, or to make a he roic dash at the middle,' and endeavor to reach both corner. But Ir you are a kiss. Ing artletr It can be covered nicely enough. It your swestbeart has a coarsely-formeit mouth, tb wilt be seosnal.snd mil bfstron; coarse point of character, and will raise a row In the family, If sh' ba a delicately-formed mouth; witb rounded Up, and of a velvety color, sbe will have sensibility and perfection ol character, but will not astonish by ber nrll limey or conception erexectiUon. It Is a good mouth, because It Is kltsable and sub missive. Shun blue-llMied or tblri-tipped women , they will bor you to death with llteratur or women's rights, theorize while you want your dinner, orspollyour tern per with their red-hot, scolding tongue.
