1 suppose so. Hut these people used
be so -simple, so sweet, and homely,
when I used to visit Berlin first. Tell you
what, I used to like the little courts of the
princess. It's a shame, I suppose, but
used to like them. Say what you will,
little courts had a flavor of antique
chivalry and old romance about them."
"iad theyf 1 confess 1 never could see
I thought them ridiculous little hum

point of view taken by the journalist

you take a look at them from the

Koundell only sent a column of smoke
his head into the blue ether, and was
silent. After a silence of a moment or two
said : " Did you see in the papers the
death of the Grand Duchess of Liebesheim V
' No, I didn't observe. The old Grand

" Oh, no, the younu one the wife of the

"In Florence. She was verr voune to

I asked.
" No. How could she? He was a brute
and the marriage was a mere political ar
rangement." i suppose these royal or stmi-royal
marriages always are."
He didn't answer-directly. But he sent
another pillar of smoke, and murmured,
JJead!-so young and so beautiful.
-. You talk quite sentimental about the
Grand Duchess. Did you ever know her?"
" i never saw her, as you have said, for
twenty years.
"Then why are you so greatly concerned
about her death.'
Well, you see, her memory belongs to
ine old time, when we were young, and J
can- see her face before me, sad and beauti
ful. I know that she was very unhappy.
I renum er hearing a story I don't know
whether it s won n telling, though,
"By all means. Go ahead. I shall be
delighted to hear it."
1 said this because iiounuell spoke in
that half-eager and half-apologetic tone
which shows that a man wishes to tell
you something, but is afraid you will not
care to listen to it.
" It isn't much. There was a fellow I
knew at the time we were in Liebet-heim
an English fellow. I don't think yoa knew
him. He was studying something or other
tuere.and he liked to read in the mornings.
He used to get up with the lark and stroll
out into the park., l ou remember the park
pretty, wasn't it? And he found out a
quiet place where hardly any people ever
went even in tne day, anu ne used to read
there. 1 remember the spot every stone
and leaf of it be snowed it to me, and 1
used to lounge around there sometimes
after he had gone. It was a little bit ol
clearing in the thick part of the wood, and
there was a little stream there. 1 used to
spout Goethe's poem o the Bachlein there.
ou used to spour, or me ieiiow you
are telline me about.'
" Oh. 1 used to-'-when he had gone, you

Koundell laughed rather a gloomy sort
a laugh, "in this case it was she didn't
marry," he said; " but we may as well go
regularly through with the story, as we
have begun it. It's not quite so common
place as you suppose. Well, these girls
came very regularly in the mornings, and
sometimes they even arranged to meet the
fellow of evenings very rarely though.
Once there was sort of a saturnalian mas
querade in the open air in the gardens of
oia bcnioss, and the girls gave tne
fellow a hint that they were to be there
and how they were to be dressed, and he
found her out. . She was to be dressed like
Swiss peasant girl bodice and sleeves,

display of ankles.. Go on."
lily friend looked grim at my levity, and
felt bound to- excuse myself by saying
that as I didn't personally know the fellow
who was the hero of this romance, I might
forgiven if I spoke too lightly of his
idol s ankles. ..... .. ...
" Koundell went on : " It was the queer
sort of thing, the meeting of these
three the three alwavs, until just the end.
There really wasn't any love making in
particular, although the fellow grew, at
to be madly in love with the girl villi

think studious and poetical young fellows
that age- are wonderfully pure. This
fellow wasn't any better than the rest of us,
by Jove, his love for her was- as pure
the love ol a woman." ) - T
" Did she lall in love with him ? " : .'. . .
"Well, came 'out in this way. .He
rather a good-looking fellow then,
though perhaps you wouldn't think 90
now fellows change so-rthat lie was full
poetry and passion" and that sort of
stuff, just at the age when a man would be
delighted to give. his life for a woman,.
Well, sir, one morning she had little
flower in her hand, she held it in an uncer
tain way, as if she were going to offer it to
him.' He extended his hand; the flower
dropped; he reached down for it; "she
reached for it; their hands just touched
moment by Jovel as short as the puff
this smoke; and when she looked up her
was all crimson; and then she turned
away; and she knew as well as Heaven does
the fellow was- in love with her, and
knew that she loved him."
Koundell paused in .his story. The
evening was deepening down, the skies
were purpling, and the Thames was as
suming a sad and melancholy hue. The
faint ripple of the water was heard more
clearly. My friend looked out of the win
dow, and seemed to enjoy the quiet beauty
the scene. ' -
"Well, but the rest of the story, Koun
dell?" I said.
"The rest of the story; I don't know
it isn't all over." -
"Oh, come now; there must be a little
more.
Yes, a little:'" but I think it would
have been better, somehow, if it had ended
there.,'
" Anyhow, it didn'r; so go on. ;"?"
" Welt the fellow didn't see either of the
next day, or the next.1 But the third
they came; and Dorothea was very
sweet and melancholy, and the other one,
xueta, was rather distant in manner, tne
fellow thought, and seemed frightened
somehow. They didn't stay long; Meta
seemed wild to get away; but when they
were going, Dorothea gave her hand to

scrap of paper."

was awfully in earnest ; no affectation-, no

"iUeta, she told me. was the future
Grand Duchess. She was brought to
Liebesheim to marry the Grand Dpke. She
was the daughter of a mediatized prince,
and put under the care of his hard and
formal old mother. Of course -Dorothea
told the fellow that the priueess could not
love her future husband. How could she?
Jivcry one knew that he was a selfish
young cub. Dorotheas eyes filled with
tears at the miserable fat of her frfend.
I may. tell you,' she said to the fellow.
' that she loves one she always will remem
ber, and can never see again.' "
But how about yourself?

fellow a great deal more than the troubles

know, ' this must not affect us: I love you

talked at her like a madman, and he caught
her hand and kissed it, and begged her to

him, had a very small allowance to live on,

the fellow told me so. She said, 'My
friend, we must not see each other any
more ever again. We must part. You
will not ask me why; but we must part.'
Then she told the fellow that the young
princess and herself had taken a freak of
going out for morning walks dressed like
cify girls, and they meant no harm; and
that one day they heard the fellow declaim
ing, and then they got into talk with him,
and they rather liked the fellow, and so on,
you know. Now the princess' marriage,
and there must be no more cakes and ale !
But you will not be sorry to learn,' said
Dorothea, 'that vour friendship and our
pleasant talks sometimes gladdened the
poor princess, and that she will always
remember you as a friend." "
" But what had ail this to do with hep-
self?" I asked, a little impatiently.
" That was just what the fellow put to
her; but she said her fate was bound up
with that of the princess, and she, too,
hinted of some confounded marriaga en
gagement. Oh, he talked, did the fellow,
I can tell you. His eloquence fairly as
tonished himself, iiut it was all to no
purpose. She firmly declared that they
must never meet any more. Then he
began to accuse her of having played with
his love; but she looked at hun with such a
grieved and imploring gaze that he soon
dropped that game. He begged her to
even give him the comfort of telling him
that she loved him, that if things had.
been different, and all that. She only

he didn't. He pressed it on her slender,

was alone."
Poor fellow; what did he do? "
Do? He moaned about the wood for
an hour or two, with his hands in his pock

sort of a way. At last he went home to his

water barrels. On the third day, when the
vessel was under full sail, one of the sailors,
in passine the place where the hay was stor
ed, dropped a spark from his pipe. " It ig
nited the hay, but as be thought the nre
was at once extinguished, and as he had
been violating the rules he did not mention
the circumstance for fear of punishment.
Unfortunately the fire had not been entire
ly extinguished but smoldered during the
afternoon and till the following night, when
the mate gave the alarm that the vessel was
on fire. The watch was set and every pre
caution taken, while most vigorous efforts
were made to discover the source of the
smoke, several bundles of smoldering hay
were thrown overboard. The wind was
high, and it fanned the smoking hay into
flames and filled the air with sparks. The
cattle on board became frantically excited,
and for a time the men were almost panic
stricken. The timbers of the cattle-pen
were the next to catch fire, and this mad
dened the mules and sheep. The mingled
noise oi untying muies ana oieaiiDg sneep,
the crackling oi burning timbers, and the
shouting of excited men, ts they battled
bravely with the flames, is described as be
ing frightful in the extreme. Many of the
muies broke loose and ran frantically about
the deck, creating frightful confusion, and
ultimately leaping into the sea. Jklany ol
the sheep were roasted to death, and before
the flames were got under control the vessel
had sustained serious damage. A sailor
named Gibbs was severely burned, aud he
and another of the men are now in Bellerue
Hospital. On the morning of the 15th the
full extent of the damage to the vessel was
discovered, and it was at once resolved to
run for New York. Her subsequent adven
tures illustrate the old saying that misfor
tunes never come singly. When off Fire Is
land, on July 20, the unfortunate bark was
run into by a steamer. The bowsprit and
jibboom were smashed and her bows stove
in. The sailors say the steamer was crowded
with people, and no attempt was made to
render auy assistance to the unfortunate
men on board the bark. It was with great I
difficulty that she managed to reach the
East River. The Mary Barrs is about three
hundred tons burden. She has lost her top
mast; the ropes are all burned; the canvas
is useless. The yards are badly burned.
A large hole has been burned in the bow.
The shedding structures, between the fore
and main masts, in which the animals were
confined, burned almost to a cinder; her
timbers are scorched, and the bowsprit is
reduced to a mere stump of wood. The
vessel is now undergoing repairs at Pier No.
43. The cargo was consigned to Trow
& Co., of Bridgetown Barbados.

N. Y. Times. A GREAT REFORMER.
The investigation of Mr. Tilden's record
as a great "railroad lawyer, is bringing
things to light which are exceedingly dam
aging to him as a reformer. He is shown to
be a cunning and unscrupulous, manipula
tor of schemes to rob the people, and to
enrich himself and his confederates by
such robbery.
The New York Times gives a detailed ac
count of one of Mr. Tilden's railroad enter-
nrises. in connection with what is known
46 the Harlem Extension Railroad. The

therefore managed to have an act pas:

Hi hen this was accomplislu the shrewd
Xajryer and his brother capturfd their

their cansage, visited every land-owner in
the town, .and sked them to give their per
mission to the ibwding. The prospects of
the road were .pai&td in glowing colors;
facts and figures ty;e given to show the
probable returns .and" eyery one was as
sured that he would .be.iiid'Wniiied against
any and all taxation arising piit of the
construction of the road. The fjrmers
were told that the interest on the irjad
bonds which the town would receive wqjild
pay the interest on the town bonds, and so,
ringing all the changes, the tempters de
luded some into giving tneir consent, "some
they whipped in by threats, others had the
thumb-screws put upon them in various
wavs. and the acknowledgments were col-
iiocted. Some who had seen the confidence
BL3n operate, and were wary ol landsharks

thaj-'iwould be indemnified against any or

has not been done. But the great lawyer's
brother has succeeded in obtaining $ 10,000

to them for moneys collected by him on ac

"In the inception of the railroad scheme
frt of the Tilden plot was to elect one of
the family to the Legislature, to influence
Legislation Moses Y. Tilden ran for the
j i1 . ,ln Penance of this plan, but was
defeated. ,n lstss he came up for the as
sembly, and, by the vote of the railroad
laborers, who were furnished with false
naturalization papers sent from New fork
and Troy by the Democratic State Commit,
tee, was elected by a small majority. One
man in the town of Chatham got 300.out
of the Tildens' money for takine charire of
and voting this gang of aliens, many of

the 'reform' movement dates back rome
time, and is not, as some people think, of
recent origin.
And Samuel J. Tilden is the great reform
er who asks to be elevated to the Preiden

reformer are as fraudulent as his railroad
schemes, but he will not be successful.
Hanged Without a Warrant.
In the olden time in Plumas County a
man was arrested for mur4er, tried and
convicted and sentenced to be hanged. Tha
esse was taken to the Supreme Court ou
appeal, finally a decision was filed ai
firming the judgment of the court-below,"
and directing that the defendant be resen
tenced to death. . , .
In those days the Sacramento Eni'w was
about the only paper circulating in that re
mote region, and whatever appeared in its
eolnmns was taken as undoubtedly being the
fact. The number containing the Supreme -Court
decision arrived at the county seat,
and the SlieriS saw It, and ponplude$ that
the. matter was settled finally. So walk
ing into the jail he addressed the de
fendant with: .
"Well, the Supreme Court has affirmed
the judgement in your case; it's pripted jn
the Sacramento Lnion," '
"Is it?" said the prisoner, 'that's rough,
but I guess I'll have to stand it."
"Well' said the Sheriff, "I have got to
bang you; you have been in here a good
while, an expense to the country, and the
sooner the thing is over the better."
"There is no use being in a hurry," said
the prisoner; "give a fellow a chance to
get ready."
. "How will the first ot next week suit
yon Tasked the Sheriff.
"Oh, whatsthe use of all that hurry?
Call it the last of the week." -
"Well, we will split the difference and
call it Wednesday afternoon,"
This acquiessed in by the party in inter
est, and at the appointed time he was taken
out and hanged.
At the opening of the District Court at
the following term, Judge R. H. Taylor
now of Virginia City, who was then on the
bench inquired of the Clerk if the remitti
tur had been sent down, and being advised
in the affinitive, said : "I. guess we had
better have the prisoner brought up and
resentenced." He was rather surprised
when the Sheriff innocently informed him
that the law was already fully satisfied,
and that the criminal had been sent before
a court where there could be no appeal.

mixes freely with alcohol and with water,

it is much used instead of su

Glycerine does not freeze .or evaporate. It

cities to put in gas meters, and in many
other ways. These are only a few of the
many uses to which it can be put. It

It is the same here as in Cairo or New

sunken eyes and high cheek bones sat down
on the steps of a grocery besides several

"Describe her, gentlemen." he remarked.
