Meanwhile Mrs. Ilinkle had bten doing avin

Then, in a state of great amazement at shel
himself, he went out to untackle Dobbin awa

the house half an hour past noon to find not

tures wouli not have wrung from her the of his
confession, it was equally true that La- his
viny needed him to keep her down. Some inchi
leaven is safest hidden in its three nlea- witl
stures of mareal. Certainly, in her hus- the r
band's presence, Mrs. Hinkle had been a relig
patient Griselda compared to what she each
now was, freed from home restraints. pers
She fretted and finlmed in an explosive wife
manner, raising an unwonted fermenta- clusi
tion in tht Trpp household. She hated lieve
his folks, she hated Reuben for not hating and I
them, she hated herself for having borne far a
their interference so long, and declared advo
she had not had the " temper of a fly"- gusti

the week wore on without bringing ucati
the coveted visaon of her husband at to s
her feet, the effervescence of her mood us, '
was fast subsiding, when the rumor that to al
Miss Phebe was wielding her domestic won
scepter agitated it anew. Pretty work it as it
was to be crowded out of her own home into
by his folks ! She knew now why Reuben it nt
did not come. They had been setting it sti
him against her. What if he should never the i
come ? For the first time this thought in- enlil
truded itself, and in her anguish she tryn
sought relief in the camphor bottle. supi
What right had Phebe in her kitchen, tion,

away at his afternoon plowing. eigl
Miss Phebe sent the spoons obediently, one

Clearing Up the Obstrnctiel.
TuR wrecking operations in the harbor
of Charleston. S. C.. under the direction
of Professor Malliefert, which have been
in progress nearly twelve months, have
been signally successful. Monsieur Mal
liefert. who is a French engineer, in 1571,
obtained the conmract from the InitNl
States governmeit for clearing the ob
structions in both the Jamnes River. in
Virginia, and the harbor of Charleston.
From the lam:ues River he removed the
wrecks of the iron-clads Virginia and
Fredericksburg, and the steamters Jantle
town, Northampton, Patrick Henry and
Italeigh, besides seven schooners and
twenty-three stone cribs, which madek the
James free antd safe for all navigable pur
poses.
Upon arriving at Charleston, lie first
turned his attention to the wreck of the
iron-clad Palmetto State. t hich was sunk
off the mouth of Town Creek inlet by the
Confederates. to prnvent it falling Into
the hands of the l'nited States naval
forces, then in strong force ofi Charleston
Harbor. All the boilers. engines, guns
and machinery of this vessel were re
covered. lie next took out the wrecks of
the Charl, toin and Chicora, sunk off
Cooper River, .two other iron-elads,
275 tons of machinery, boilers, engines
and guns. The operations of the Pro
fessor were next turned to the wrecks of
the Beatrice and Flora. two iron blockade
runners, sunk in Mailit's Channel, with
the success of raising the entire hulls,
engines and boilers of both. After this
the steamers Cotlle. Itandolph, and a tor
pedo boat, 127 feet long, were taken up.
The vessel involving the greatest labor
and danger in taking up was the Weehaw
ken, a L nited States iron-clad which was
accidentally sunk off Morris island while
being loadedl with shot and shell. Nearly
everything was recovered, and the skele
tons of many of the crew who went down
were found In a good state of preserva
tion in the monster coffin in which they
had been so long entombed.
The wreck upon which Professor Mal
liefert is now engaged is that of the ill
fated Patapsco, which was sunk off Fort
Sumter by' the bursting of a torpedo.
whlich sent down the unfortunate vessel
and all on board to a watery grave. Out
of this vessel about four hundred tons of
material have alreaudy been taken, in
eluding the boiler, machinery, portions of
the turret twelve plates thick, and other
material. This can only be removed by
the most powerful explosions. The only
two wrecks that now remain are those of
Ihe Hlousatonic and the Keokuk. The
former lies outside the bar and near It the
torpedo boat that sent it down. The lat
ter lies near the Lighthouse Inlet. All
, the bodies of those on board have been re
covered, and a great number have been
burl d in a Federal cemetery near Fort
I Moultrie. With the removal of these last
e two vessels all the obstructions in the
harbor will be removed.-N. Y. HBald.
