JbLlVitK, l M. I A FATAL MISTAKE. Washington Critic. "You mm, it. was in tins way," said KoiitK, crossing his log over thn arm ot the Kent, "I used to inn in New York frequently, selling dinned meats for a Chicago fli'ui. 1 niiiile the acquaintance ot n jolly young; fellow, Jiiiiiuiu Cross, who was completing his medical educa tion by piactica! work in the hos pi als there. Tins Cross wan a rare fellow, nnd one of (he boys. One nifiht he came up t) my room mill said : ' Hoots, are yon in for a queer f" Ot course I was, and he told me that it was this: An old man, an iuniiitw ot one of the hospitals, realizing that he was dying, want ed to make a statement, or confes sion in the presence ot twei witness es. Cross had 'oueti attending him, and ho proposed to receive the statement. We took a cub and drove down to the hospital. As I stepped iuto the long ward, where lay so many maimed and dying peo ple, my heart almost laded tne. Here lay a man with a ghastly hole in his forehead. "Plain suicide," remarked Cross as we passed along. Next a man w ho had been run over iu the tunnel. A negro ooy was just carrying away one of the lei low's legs, which had been amputa ted. On a little cot lay the man who was to make (he statement. Ue had a noble face, and seemed to be fttv above the average in. in met in sin k hospitals. "Sit down," he said feebly. I am sinking rapidly; it will soon be oyer." We sat, down; Cross took one ot the man's bands in his own. The following was his strange tale : 'My name is Grbsvenor I'erey Grosvenor. Iu England I was Count Malvern. When I went to lial.y on a pleasure Iripiu my yacht I met Nita. She was Madame Lauini to others, but Nita to me. Her husband died two mouths niter their marriage, and she was left at twenty years of ago with a noble name and an income of 100,000 liies a year. We loved each other and were happy. I had as much money as she, and am of as noble birth. Naples was to me the most beauti ful place in the world then; every thing around me was sw imming in jov. in the spring we were mar ried mid look our wedding tour in my yacht, landing in Liverpool in September. We went iinuiediately to my house in Loudon, which an army of laborers and uriisis had been putting in repair. "That was a gay season in Lon don, aud my wife was the belle, She captivated everyone. One night iu the midst of a grand ball nl the Kail of Warsaw's Nita drew me into the corridet aud said : "My husband call you trust mol" 'My husband, 1 w ill leave iu two hours for Italy." 1 will be gone eight days. I cannot tell you what calls me there. Will you trust me I' "lo doubt her was impossible. Those were the days of Garibaldi. Some political scrape a kinsman has fallen iuto, I thought. She left that night lor Italy. Six days alter my friend Morton met me al the club and said : "Percy, I saw your wite at the rand l'alaise in Rome : she was embracing a tall, bearded Italian, a tellow with a peculiar scar on his cheek. It was in the ante-room and they thought they were not observed.'' "My tiiend Morton said that to me. We foughf the next, day in Uaiuptou Fields, I shot him iu the shoulder and he shuttered my right arm, or I would have killed him. When my wife returned I mentioned the matter to her. "No V said she. "The matter passed off my mind. Iu two weeks troiii this I received an anonymous letter, which siid, "Dewnie ot the bearded Italian it U the scar !" I burned the let ter. 1 tie next evening about twi light 1 was standing with my wife near the window. Suddenly she started and turned very pale. I looked out the window. Ou the pavement, looking up at the wiu- dow, was a tall, bearded fellow with a livid scar aciosa his cheek. I said nothing, but went out. That night I wondered all night what it meant. 1 did not for an instant doubt my wife. When I went dowu to breakfast next morn ing I picked up a piece of paper near the front door. It read thus : "My Nita. At -J -p. in., on the 21st, be at No. 9 Moody Lane." "This was the 21sU I went to my room and cleaned my pistols, anil at 2 o'clock took a hiied cab for Moody Lane. No. 9 was a long, lonesome-looking, gloomy bouse, the sbuiicic all closed aud seem ingly deserted. I tried the frout door; it was unlocked. 1 wulktd . , i. i lie iasi room, vueie i ucaru some one moving abouL T tii.tstAtl allAnttar In tl.A lnn. an.l . . . , r . . j, . looked lu.

It be "' desc-ibed by my friend Morton, the lu.ii) kMu Jed to in the anonymous letter, and the man w ho e.uised Niiii ao much ex citement when sbe saw him ou the sidewalk. The staircase was oppo site the dour of I lie room, and there was a niche in the wall tin the stair case. This was excellent. I could be strcreted in the niche iu full view ot the room. I posted myself si lently there, and folding my arms awaited development s. The man was engrossed iu his own thoughts, looking moodily into the tire. What was I thinking of ! I was wonder ing how I could have been so blind as nor to see all I bis belore ; that I could have ben so easily deceived. Now, 1 understood the visit to Ita ly, my friend Morton's statement and everything. When the vision ot Nita would come before me my eyes would till with tears aud I would nearly choke. I had aiisen that morning before she awoke ; when I left her she was Bleeping soundly, looking the very picture of purity and beauty, her dark hair f.dling over the pillow and her head resting on one little nrm. It was such thoughts as these that passed through my mind as I stood there waiting. Three o'clock had passed ; half past three. The bearded man was pacing up and dowu the room, his hands fold ed ou bis breast. At ten minutes utter four 1 beard a carriage drive up to the door, and when the beard ed man answered the knock there stood my own footman. Sbe had dared to come in uiyowu carriage, publicly, and with a display. "Is Mr. Glenilli here!" 'Yes; tell jour mistress to come right in." 'T beard a light step in the hall, the rustle ot silk garments, and my wife stood in the middle ot the room in tho nnim of the bearded man. I cocked one of my pistols; it clicked sharply and the two guil ty wi etches Blurted uneasily around." "Did you not hear something t" asked Nita. 'Oh, no ; it was nothing." "Did yon liavo any trouble iu coming f" he asked. "Oh, no : Percy suspects nothing. He is too noble to suspect me and he loves me too well." "Well, did you bring the money ?"

At (list blush a great many per sons are liable to imagine that a cime.c levtularius is a delicate pteee ol bric-a-brac or some choice article of virtu, but it is our painful duty to i n tor iti lliein that it is nothingof the kind. The cimejc lectulariu id nothing more or less than an ener getic little insect which puts up at thn best hotels aud is known us the bed-bug. Those little insects be come very familiar on a very short acquaintance, and iu consequence are a great source ot auuoyaiice to travelers, and especially to commer cial drummers, for whom they en tertain the highest regard. Not long ago a drtiuimer stopped at a hotel iu F'orida, mid the bugs attacked In in so viciously that he was forced to seek quarters elsewhere in order to escape them. His manly foruf hau uourished Cimexes iu every large hotel in the country, butiier er before had he encountered a buj able to penetrate his general tough ness, uud tho idea of being put to flight by the in significant Florida insect, after he had successfully defied the teeth ot the Texas and California product, humiliated hi'ul t that extent that be advised bis brother drummers to keep away from the bond, saying that the bugs were armed with a beak like a swordtish aud were murderous iu their instincts. The proprietor of the Florida hostlery heard f the drummer's talk and straightway brought a suit for libel, and iu his bill ot complaint he averred thai his bugs were as well behaved as any hotel bugs to be found i i the country, aud that he had always made it a point not to allow auy of them to be disorderly or to demand more from a guest than was cus tomary, lie also said that when it man buys a hotel the bugs always go with it, and that every new pro prietor makes it a rule to inquire about tho character of tho bags aud lo get a recommendation as to their sobriety and politeness trout their former master. The suit against tho drummer, has resulted iu all the drummers of tho North coining to his assistance, and now they are assuliug the character ot all the bed-bugs iu the South, aud the liepublicau news-' papers have takeu the matter up and are tryiug to make political capital out ot it. Tin! South, however, does' not care for these malicious attacks. It lias the satisfaction of knowing that there is not u bed bug south ot the Ohio river halt so vicious, blood-thirsty uud cowardly as the little bob-tailed, round-bellied fly that inhabits the hotels of the North during the summer time. Thi-gj tlies steal into a guest's room about daylight iu the morning aud bite him like a bull-dog, aild compel liiuf to clutch a boot in one hand and beat them ofi while he pulls on his breeches with the other. Do the proprietors of hotels iu Cleveland, Ohio, for instance, employ bellboys to wake guests iu time to catch the' early morning trains t Not a bit of it. The Hies are used for that pur pose, aud thus are honest aud in dustiious lads cheated out of em ployment and the means of earning their bread. Aside from this, the hotel-keepers stand iu with the tlies, to use a common expression, and wheu ti e guests sit down to break last and dinner, the tlies come in aud bite their eaisaud necks am! drive them from a halt ftuisbed meal. The Northern hotel profits by the presence of the fly, aud the iuseets; are fed aud giveu the best rooms in the house. The Cleveland fly, especially, is" very wicked.
