THE OLD SQUIRE'S MISTAKE.
True hearts are more than coronets.
Anil simple faith than Norman blood.
Squire Atherton owned a fine place,
and had a plethoric rent roll, so that
money need not have been an object in
the selection of a wife for his only son,
Cyril. Not being of a romantic tem
perament, he had given but little
thought to the matter, merely looking
upon it as essential, that at some distant
time Cyril should form some suitable
alliance, so that the name need not die
out; but there need be no haste, and a
fortune must be among the lady's ad
vantages. What, then, was his sur
prise and dismay, w hen Cyril came to
him one morning and asked his consent
to a marriage with a poor young girl,
the orphan niece of a small farmer, who
lived seme three miles from Atherton
manor. A stormy scene ensued. They
parted in anger. Cyril mounted his
favorite " Madcap" and rode at once to
eepdale farm. Hilda satv Jinn coming
and met him at the door. The rash
young lover had not waited for his
father's consent to. woo her, and they
had been betrothed for several weeks.
He had led Hilda to believe that she
would be welcomed to his homo, and
given a daughter's portion of love. It
was hard to tell her the bitter truth, and
in his anger and disappointment he did
not soften one harsh word his father had
said, even to calling Hilda a milk-faced
doll, whose pearly teeth arid bright eyes
had captivated him in spite of his better
judgment. - -
'Hut we'll be married in spite of
him, won't we, darling? He'll come
to his senses then, I'll warrant. He'll
think it all right when he can't help
himself."
Hilda's roses paled as she listened to
the eager boy, and the happy light
which had made her dark eyes so bril
liant, had died away in somlssr shadows,
but she answered with gentle resolution :
"No, Cyril, two wrongs never made
a right. It doesn't sound like you to
say such a thing. We are young and
we can wait untu your father changes
his mind."
That's what he'll never do," said
Cyril, gloomily. " If he takes a notion,
an earthquake wouldn't move him. It
we wait for such a thing, we'll wait for
ever." -
" Then it will be with a clear con
science. Your father is an old man, and
it might shorten his life, if you, his only
son, should prove disobedient and un
grateful. I can not come between you
and yonr father." -' . . . . .
Cyril listened to her with flashing
eyes.
"Then you will throw me over? I
who worship the very ground your feet
have touched. Oh, 'Hilda, I did not
think it of you. My father was right,"
he continued, gloomily. " He said all
women are alike selfish and merce
nary." "Don't Cyril; I know you can rot be
lieve it of me! Hear me! - If you were
to be crippled in mind and body, and
miserably poor, and no one else had a
prior claim to you, I would work myself
to a shadow for you, and consider my
self happy in doing so. . It is because I
love you better than myself that I will
not let you do wrong. But I will prom
ise to go solitary and alone, so far as
human love is poncejned, to mygrave,
if so be that we can not marry." Dear,
dearest Cyril, go home to. your father
and do as he wishes, fully and entirely.
God's blessing will surely test npon the
datiful eon."'
Her voice broke. With a wild Im
pulse she threw her arms around his
neck and kissed him again and again,
between her sobv It -was her fare wall.
The next moment Cyril nva3etandiag
alone in the porch, and the heavy door
was shut and bolted between them.
After a few moments of bewildering
hesitation he mounted and rode away.
He could not but think forgivingly of
Hilda, as he recalled her anguished softs
and felt her kisses burning upon his
forehead she' who ha-CYer been so
chary of her caresses.
Strive as he might, he did not Again
see Hilda. It seemed as "though some
unseen messenger was ever on the alert
to warn her of his approach. At last
he grew desperate, and determined to
leave home. His father procured, him a
commission in Hie army. "He wished
for active service, and, as it was the
time of the Crimean war, he had no
difficult"" in carrying out his purpose
o-1 regiment "waa one
out.
..the first
Hilda heard of his departure with tear
ful eyes. Still she did not regret the
course she had taken. Following the
noble example of Florence Nightingale,
she went to one of the hospital training
schools to fit herself to follow her sol
dier, if necessary, and nurse some poor
victim of the war back to life, or to
soothe Lis dying moments if he was
beyond help.
But other work was in store for her.
A letter from home brought news of an
epidemic of the most fatal type of ty
phoid fever in her own village. The
inhabitants were so alarmed. that they
were leavinz the place, and nurses could
not be obtained, so great was the fear of
the contagion. 1 he conciuaing item
was this: ""
" Squire Atherton is down with it,
and of all the indoor servants at the
manor, old Hannah, who took care of
the mistress in her last sickness, is the
only one left. She declares if she leaves
the master in his sore need, it'll only be
feet first.' "
Without a moment's hesitation, Hil
da went to the matron, telling her she
was needed at home, and procured her
discharge. Then, laden with her pre
cious, newlv framed knowledge, she
took the first homeward-bound train.
Old Hannah was seated, at the mas
ter's beside, looking worn and weary,
As Hilda came softlv in, dressed in her
clinging gray flannel dress, with her
irlossv hair hidden by a close-fitting
muslin can. she looted to me surprised
old woman like an apparition. Hilda
smiled and held out her hand as she
whispered:
" Don't you know me linaa, ol
Deepdale farm? I am here to help you.
I know what to do, so don't be afraid to
trust me. I'll watch the master laith-
fully if you'll go and take a rest."
Somethinir in the eiri's quiet, resolute
manner impressed the faithful old serv
ant that she was making no idle boast,
or she would not have yielded up her
post. As it was, weary human nature
asserted its claims, and she went gladly.
She soon came back with a bowl of
warm soup. It tasted gratefully to the
young nurse, as she had not oroken ner
fast since the reception of the letter.
After this, Hilda was Jelt alone, with
the sick man. The night wore wearily
awav, the silence only broke by the
restless moans of the sufferer, when
Hilda would straighten his pillow, and
pass her cool hand with a magnetic
touch over his forehead, thus giving
him a momentary relief.
After old Hannah was thoroughly
rested, she and Hilda divided the time
in the sick room, and uy mat means
kept their strength from giving out.
It was a weary ught witn ueatn, dui
a strong constitution, aided by careful
nursing, carried the Squire through.
The delirium passed away, and a deep
sleep came upon him. It was the crisis.
" It he awakens rational and comiort-
able, he is saved," said the doctor. "If,
on the contrary, he falls into a state of
coma, nothing can help him."
Hours passed on. Every tick ol the
ver-tongued repeater on the mantle
seemed to find an echo in the hearts of
the anxious watchers. At last the crit
ical moment came. The Squire awoke
free from fever, though weak as a child.
He was saved.
At first Hilda kept as much as possible
out of his sight, shrinking into the
shadow of tho heavy damask curtains
when he was awake. But he did not
seem to notice her, and she gradually
forjrot her caution.
During his long and tedious convales
cence he was often querulous and in
tractable. 'I hen Hilda would take a
book and read to him in her low musi
cal voice, and thus soothe him to sleep.
She was only waiting until her pres
ence was not absolutely needed to go
back to her self-imposed duty at the
hospital. One morning she had been
eading the 'limes, untu me squire was,
as she thought, asleep. Then the paper
dropped listlessly in her lap. Her
thoughts, unmindful of time and space,
were with him she loved so faithfully
and self-sacrificingly.
A trembling voice suddenly roused ner
from her reverie :
" Hannah tells mo you are going
awav. is it necessary -' an any oiner
sick person need you as much as I do?"
Hilda looked at the old man in sur
prise. A cadence, born of loneliness
and sorrow, in his voice, touched her
unspeakably; and as she recalled the
hale, hearty Squire, who often rode by
the farm in the plesant old days, calling
out a cheerful good-morning to her
uncle in his stentorian tone, tears came
to her eyes to see what a wreck of his
former self he had become. - -
After a brief hesitation she said softly :
" If you need me 1 will not go away
for the present."
" I do need you very much," was the
reply. . ." So that matter is settled.
Now, nurse, I want to ask you a ques
tion. Have I ever seen you before?
Somehow your face seems familiar, but
I can not place it."
Hilda felt the blood dying her face,
even to the border of her cap. She
turned away, ostensibly to adjust the
folds of a curtain, in reality to avoid a
Just then iiannau came in wiui me
mail. Important news from the army
was expected, there having been rumors
of an engagement. - - - - k . i
" Get the paper, nurse, and run over
the war items."
Hannah caught the words and passed
on her way out. In her way she was
as much interested as the Squire. Was
it not her nursling who was far away
on the battle-field striving to win his
purs?
Hilda took the paper and ran her
eyes over the columns, une pmiui
moan escaped her lips ; the neat mo
ment she lay apparently nteiess on the
floor. The heavy fall loosened her cap,
and her hair rolled in all its rich luxu
riance around her a kindly mantle that
hid her deathly face from even old Han
nah's pitying eyes. ;
A dash of cold water soon revived
her. and as soon as the fright occasion
ed by her sudden illness had subsided,
the Squire took the paper, and saw fac
ing him in staring letters: .
A BLOODT ENGAGEMENT. '
Ureat loss of officers and men Cyril Atber-

The letters swam before his eyes, ne
could read no more. He rose feebly
aud dragged his shaking limbs to Hil
da's side.
" My poor girl," he said, brokenly.
But he did not finish, his sentence ; for,
at the sound of his voice, Hilda opened
her eyes and looked at" him, first in a
dazed, bewildered way, then she put out
.both hands and motioned him away.

The Squire turned to Hannah :
" Who is this young woman?"
"Lord bless us, sir. Didn't you know
it was Hilda? . Masto. Cyril's. Hilda,
who has been risking her own life to
save yours?"
' Hilda's voice interrupted them :

than your low-born Hilda's arm. Oh,
my" owrf Cyril, could 'you but know
how my heart ached when I shut the
door in your face, and sent you to do
your duty; but you never, never will be
the wiser! You have gone forever, and
thinking, too, that Hilda was cruel and
heartless... Oh, cruel Hilda! and more i

Hilda caught eagerly at the ray of

" Oh, tell me truly," she said clasp

until ine nans almost cut into the ten
der skin, ' "could it be possible that
there was a mistake? Do they ever put

" I have known of instances of one

mysteries, in his solemn sleep.
imaa remained at the manor. It was
a comfort to the old man to make, as
he thought, this expiation for his fault.
In order that Hilda's position in his
household might be fully understood, he
announced her to be his son's betrothed
wife, and invited Lady Hargrave, his
widowed sister, to come and lend the
sanction of her presence to the young
girrs Fesidence in hi3 home.
The next telegram brought cheering
news. Cyril bad lost an arm, but was
doing well, and was, as soon as he
would be able to bear the journey, to
be sent home, wearing on his breast a
decoration earned by his own bravery.
After this there was a happy house
hold at Atherton Manor. Lady Hargrave
was versed in all the womanly accom
plishments, and she found Hilda an apt
pupil.
The Squire could hardly show enough
fondness for the gentle girl who had
been so patient and tender in care of
him through his tedious illness. The
sight of her pretty face bending over
her embroidery, or engaged lu weaving
some delicate crochet pattern, seemed
to him like a tangible promise that lie
was not to be left a lonely, childless old
man. . .,
So the days wore on until the pale
young soldier came home. Then there
was a quiet wedding the festivities con
sequent upon the marriage of the heir
of the manor being reserved until the
return of the bridal pair from a length
ened tour in Italy, when it was fondly
hoped that Cyril would be fully restored
to health and strength, so that the
tenantry could be made happy by his
presence. . . ,
Deciphering Secret Messages.
It is said that Senator Sharon has
made complaint that messages sent to
him in cipher have been deciphered and
their contents given to others specu
lating in stocks, and the other Resident
Director, D. O. Mills, has ordered an
investigation. This deciphering of dis
patches of large stock speculators is not
a new business, but, on the contrary, is
an old one, and one of the admitted

The operator was detected, arrested and

years. A lew years since one oi our
present millionaires, who wa3 men not
so rich in worldly goods, but fertile in
resources, made arrangements with an
operator in Virginia City to decipher the
dispatches to Senator Sharon, those
pecially relating to Uhouar. ine
Senator then, as in the present case,
was not only surprised, but indig
naut that, what he considered
his sole and private information
was in the possession of this other

A Treasury Lady the Victim of Alcohol.
One of those ingenious women whose
business it is to examine mutilated and
Uegible currency in the Treasury has
recently-come to grief. This woman
had so ably penormed mis intricate
work for several years as to have be
come almost indispensable not only to
the Department, but scarcely less so to
numerous banks in Qinerent parts otxhe
country, Who but forjher patience must
have lost considerable sums in- worn
currency. Her skiu in restoring wnat
looked like a hopeless mass was mar
velous, and in consideration of her per
severance in this direction, some of the
banks have from time to time attested
their appreciatioo? the material benefit
thus derived,- by hartdsome donations of
money, one or two, it w anderstood,
paying her as high as $1,000 pef year. I
take equal pride in the gallantry of such
men and the ability of such a woman.
Too often are women compelled to feel
that they gain nothing by marked fideli
ty. These gifts from the banks, were,'
of course, in addition to the regular
salary paid by the Treasury, of $1,200.
For a considerable' time it was sadly
noticed that this woman was manifestly
falling into the insidious power of a ter
rible syren. Often and agaia, it could
not be denied, she was not quite herself
long before the hour for the close of
work. Admonitions, kind and gentle,
and. warnings, oft repeated, were of no
avail. She was hopelessly enthralled.
At last she came to the office one morn
ing already too oblivious to faithfully
Eerform her usual task, and, as patienc e
ad long since ceased to be a virtue, a
carriage was called and she was sent, a
victim of alcohol, to her home, there to
find that the ominous yellow envelope
containing a notice of dismissal from
service had ' preceded ' 'her coming.
Strange to say, her predecessor in the
same position, who had starved long ai d
acceptably, but for this weakness, w is

The Fine Art f Eating.
" j r
A pretty young lady the other day
treated herself in a restaurant to a lunch
which for artistic simplicity can not be
surpassed. Most young ladies with an
inclination to lunch. would have called
for an unknown quantity of meringues
and baker's trash, ending with a heap
ing saucer oi ice-cream. JSo , so this
young lady. She had a solid, rosy, "well
nourished look about her which indicat
ed, a priori, that she lived on better
things. Her lunch fulfilled one's ex
pectation. She sat down, calmly look
ed over the bill of fare from top to bot
tom, and then, ignoring all creams, cus
tards, meat-pies and mixed messes, qui
etly oidercd brown bread and butter
and young onions. She ate them in a
beautiftd manner, too. It was good to
notice how daintily she tackled the ten
der, pale green shoot, dipped it into the
tiny pyramid of salt and conveyed it to
her mouth. She ate six of the tender,
pale green onions, and enjoyed them.
She was fond of the onions, and had
none of that affected squeamishness
about eating them which most young
ladies display. She ate them honestly,
and her way of doing it showed that she
was quite accustomed to the table man
ners of " good society." -
The young woman with' her onions
had the true idea of the fine art of eat
ing. It is to have only a few dishes at
a time, to have them abundant in quan
tity, and of the best quality. No epicu
rean would consent to have a dozen or
fifteen courses at his dinner, consisting
of mixed-up and shaken together mate
rials from the four corners of the earth.
Such a dinner is alike destructive of ap
petite, digestion and all that is msthetic
in the art of eating. It savors of the
too muchness of gaivanized iron orna
mentation in architecture. The true
epicurean's dinner will always be made
up of only a few dishes, but those un
surpassed in material, cookery .and
furnishings. Variety he has in plenty,
but he obtains it by having fewer dishes
at once, and so stretching ont the good
things of the appetite further through
time rather than, by taxing French
cook-books and his own brains, to dis
cover for him some new mixture. He
always thus has something good, to
look ahead to for the " next time, so
to speak Much of the worry ,and
work fashionable Americans make over
their cookery might -be avoided, and
much both of time 'and food material
now wasted might be saved if we un
derstood better the fine art of eating. It
is a serious mistake for a cook to spend
her time and worrying her brains pre
paring half a dozen diiierent disnes,
which, after all. are apt to be badly
cooked, when three excellent dishes will
answer better in every way. I he half
dozen dishes may be snobbish, but they
are not really appetizing.
To broil a steak, to make a cup oi
coffee, to bake a loaf of bread, white or
brown, these are the three foundation
pillars of all good cookery. Tho history
of civilization, civilized cookery as well,
passes from simplicity into lloridness,
and from floridness into simplicity again,
but it is the simplicity of true art. One
kind of rightly cooked meat, vegetables
ditto, two or three dainty little side
dishes, and a pyramid of perfect, lus
cious fruit no one who really knew the
true art of enjoying his food would ac
cept any thing more. And he would
have a uitlerent round ot disnes every
day for a week, because they would be
so much to choose from.
As was said, however, the foundation
of cookery will always be beefsteak, cof
fee, and bread. Our English friends
make merry over our. shortcomings in
the above staples. Almost no Euglish
nrtvtA la oreittnn PftTitfllninff O Ti r vnf 1 r
ence to Americans, that it does not have
some allusion to the sole-leather beef
steak of the United States. Next after
the beefsteak the Englishman's notes of
travel deal with our muddy, bitter cof
fee, and our vile hot bread. One will
be surprised when he stops to recall the
hospitable mansions in which he has
breakfasted at different times, to think
how few of the housekeepers . broiled
their steak instead of frying it, steeped
the coffee instead of boiling it, and had
wholesome, home-made bread. Those
benevolent ladies who are forming them
sives into associations" to kindly help
and guide friendless and untrained
young women, would corner an untold
beneht on humanity u they would, teach,
first themselves, and then the untrained
young women, now to cook oeeisteak
and make cotlee and bread as it should
be done. ' '
No matter now deliciously cooked
one's food may be, though, there may
be surroundings which take away his
appetite. If he raise his eyes in a pub
lic dining-room and behold a countless
host of his fellow-men eating with their
knives, plunging those dangerous im
plements well down ' their throats at
every mouthful; if tbey itcurled up like
uie letter wun ineir eiuwws proppeu
upon the table; if they "schlurf their
soup and coffee like a quadruped; if thev
talk so loud that he knows every bottle
of ale and vanilla custard that are or
dered in a circuit of 10 feet about him,
the epicurean will hardly care much for

Female Places for Hiding Money.
Mrs. Hansen put $50 in the oven of
her stove one night, to keep it safe.
Next morning ' after breakfast the
national debt had been diminished
exactly that much. A student
of the curious would find it interesting
to note tue places in which women hide
their money .v One excellent and frugal
'dame used to luck' her savings away un
der the corner of the carpet. The tiny
roll of greenbacks grei. fatter and fat
ter in the course of a year or two, when,
the day after it counted $250, the house,
took fare, burnt to the "ground, and
again the nationsltlebt was diminished
by a little roll of a-woman's pin money.
There was that other careful lady, too,
who used sometfrnesj to hide her dia
mond rings between two teacups in the
kitchen cupboard, sometimes behind a
certain brick iaithe cellar, and again
under the lining of an old hat. She
had divers other places of safety for her
jewels also, the only trouble being that
she had so many fciding-places she occa
sionally forgot where she had last put
her precious things, and .about every
three months wbuld-iancy. she had been
robbed, and the house would be turned
inside out; and all therein made uncom
fortable until the missing sums would
be found carefully tucked, awav in the
folds of the bottom 'towel the pile in
ine leit-nand corner of the lower draw-
. er In the clothes-press at the east end of
the dining-room. I his periodical ex
citement, jabout.Mrs McGillicuddy's
diamond rings was the only event which
broke the monotony of an otherwise
rather dull life in a suburban residence.
Shakespear knew .the soul of the sex
whea he made th "Merry Wive of Wind
sor hido Falstair;5na basket of linen.
Their idea is to hide things in places
where people would fl' t-b .apt to look
for them. it unusual, perhaps, for a
wbmaa' to "have much money to take
care of, therefore she puts it away in an
unusual place.-An estimable lady used
to hide her gold watch and pocket-book
under the " inverted ' wa&h-basin : in the
kitchen every night. " A Jew days ago a
New York woman put her $800 diamond
ring in the folds of a lace curtain. She
put it there because that was a place
where thieves-wouldn't be apt to look
far it. A servant who was dusting the
roo'm tbooktk curtain, and away went
the diamond ring out the window, and
now its owner,, mourns for it as one
without hope. A most worthy lady
died not long since at her home, not a
thousand miles from Cincinnati, and
after her death the family found a large
sum of money hidden away in an an
cient band-box full of old hats and bon
nets. It was her savings for several
years, and nobody knew she had it until
after she was dead. Whenever a woman
dies who, like John Gilpin's wife, " had
a frugal mind," her anxious and affec
tionate heirs will do wisely to look for
her savings in all places in which money
would not likely be hidden. Cincinnati

A Young Girl's Folly.
A romance in real life, with an end
ing sadly different from that which the
books give, has just transpired in a
small village not many miles from
Cleveland. Clara J was a young
lady of 18, quite fair, and possessing as
many charms as most youn ladies of
her age and surroundings. Her father
is an honest farmer, whose acres, al
though numbered by the hundred, are
not entirely free from incumbrance.
Some three months ago a copy of the
daily Cincinnati Enquirer, by some sad
fate, fell into this yonng lady's hands,
and her eye ran over the column of dis
reputable notices headed "Personal."
She had then no idea of answering any
of the many solicitations for corre
spondence, by any means. But it did
in some way seem a charming thing to
look them all over and speculate upon
who the adventurers were, and what
they were doing, and why they adver
tised. And so she did look over these
columns and so she did become inter
ested. At length she came to the conclusion
that it would be a romantic thing, just
for fun, to answef one of these notices,
and in a harmless way sec wnat might
- .. ...... . , i . i i
come of it. ltn near Deaung nign
she penned a modest hote, which simply
served to answer the advertisement, and
in due course of mail a letter returned
to her postmarked Chicago, and direct
ed in a most beautiful hand. The seal
was broken, when the letter was fouud
to read as follows :
Chicago, .Hiss Clara J. ilY
Dear Miss: I was rejoiced to receive your
note ot to-day. Since placing the notice in
the paper to which your note was the reply
I have received a large number of solicita
tions to correspond, but yours was the only
one that I have answered. J shall be pleased
if it Is convenient and pleasant for you to do
so to continue a correspondence until we
shall become mutually acquainted, and thus
I am certain we can not fail to be profited.
Write me acain soon, and tell me wnat you
think of this. Very respectfully.
This was a charming letter to the
young ladv. She read it over and over
aaiiH and carried it with her for sev
eral days. The beautiful chirography
and perfect orthography made it espe
.iniiw attractive, and she was convinced
that "there could be nothing wrong, and,
besides, if there were, she was only
writing for sport, she thought, and
nothing serious could happen. She had
never "thought much of the rough-and-ready
fellows of the village who had at
various times shown their honest atten
tions to her. She now had a real city
Loan and was evidently flattered. She
knew that he was some great man a
bookkeeper, a head clerk, in some opu
lent firm, or something of that sort.
So when the proper length of time had
elapsed, so that too great haste would
not be manifest, she wrote again, and
thus a regular correspondence sprang

too showy in dress and plausible in con
versation ; but Clara was satisfied, and
was convinced that the old folks were
of tiKKnrn and nnaonhisticated. and were
trying to interpose needless obstacles to
the course oi true love, adu so, at
length, they yielded; and, as the Chica
go gentleman sun nngereu near, aim
nma iairnnn of consummating a mar
riage with their daughter ,they at length
consented, and the couple who were
thus brought together were united in
holy wedlock and departed witn wnai
dowry the liberal father wa3 able to be
stow. This was less tnan two monms
ago, and last week the poor girl, now
transformed into a sad and careworn
woman, returned to her father's home.
The sequel is soon told. The young
huchinri wj a. cambler. and. upon ob
taining his wife's money, had soon dis
posed of it, and they were left penniless.
He had resorted to various makeshifts
to get the necessaries of life, but it had
konn fnnnrl next to imnossible to get on.
and the young wife, at length tired of
the struggle, had written home for mon
ey to return with. The father imme
diately went to Chicago and returned
with his daughter. it is preuy iveu
settled that Wilson for that is the young
iimhand's name was once a stock
broker and in good shape to prosper, so
far as this world's goods are concerned,
but the fascination of gambling seized
him, and has dragged him down.
Left by the Colored Exodus.
. A Charleston ' (S. C.) special of the
23d says : Now that the Azor has sailed
and is probably some nunorcos oi mnes
away, and the excitement attending her
departure has somewhat abated, the
question arises what is to become of the
unfortunate emigrants who have been
left behind and must remain in the city
until her" return for the next voyage.
Careful inquiry at the office of the Li-
benaa Exodus Association develops tne
fact that 175 emigrants, men, women
and children, have been left behind and
intend waiting to take passage on the
next trip. Of this number twenty-five
have sent their baggage and effects to
Monrovia by the Azor ahead of them,
while the remaining 150 have their
goods and chattels . stored away in
the lower rooms of the building
in Exchange Street, occupied by the as
sociation. 1 These unfortunate men and
women, with their little children, are
nearly all from the upper portion of the
State and Georgia, and have left home
and friends and spent the hoardings of
years in their efforts to reach the prom
ised land. Having made these sacri
fices upon the assurance and induce
ments of the Exodus Association the lat
ter is, of course, directly responsible for
their welfare until the Azor returns.
Feeling this responsibility, and know
ing that the eye of the community is up
on them, the officers of the association
have acted with commendable prompti
tude. To-day they completed the pur
chase of a plantation of 270 acres, on
the west side of the Wando Kiver, in the
parish of St. Thomas and St. Dennis,
about ten miles from the city, where
they propose to place a number of the
emigrants and furnish them with oc
cupation. V
At dinner the host introduced to
the favorable notice of the company a
splendid truffled pheasant, amid mur

A Washington Millionaire.
There is one ex-Cabinet Minister in
Washington who cares not a fig for pub
lic opinion, and that is J. A. J. Cres
well. Ho owns and occupies a mansion
worth $100,000, and its contents are
taxed at $100,000 more. During the
four years that he was Postmaster-General
he is said to have expended $35,000
for dinners, balls, etc., under his own
vine and fig tree. His' salary at that
time wa3 $32,000. He is now President
of a Washington bank. His uncle, Mr.
Tome, of Maryland, gave him $1,000,
000 some years ago. This fortune has
since doubled. He received about $30,
000 for his services as Government at
torney before the Court of Alabama
Claims, and for five years past he has
received $5,000 a year as one of the
Commissioners to settle the accounts of
the Freedmen's Bank.
Wby Is It?
The truths of science and pngresslve
thought liave always been compelled to batter
down the bulwarks of prejudii e and disbelief,
or remain forever unknown. Why is it that
people are so reluctant to receive farts that re
late directly to tli phenomena of their own
existence? Astronomers, upon discovering a
star, assign it a place at once, and it is forever
fixed. The rule by which a mathematical
problem Is ouce solved becomes forever an ax

which govern health and sickness be demon
strated, some refuse to believe. Dr. Fierce's

or where there are scrofulous swelling and af
