had a good and increasing practice in one of tli'
southern Trench catering places. The town
was much frequented by foreigners, chiefly by
English and Americans, and tbe latter greatly
scandalized and upse't all our ideas of propriety
by the independence of their women, especially
of the unmarried ladies. Among these last was
a certain miss uiauue Maryon, commonly
Known to tne namtues or our town as "Jttadem
oiselle Claude." How she came by her rather
masculine Christian name I never knew, nor
why she was always called by it in preference
to her surname ; but the name chanced to be
an appropriate one, for Mademoiselle Claudi
was an artist of same merit and fame. Indeed,
it was she who first led me to think seriously
of art as a profession. Sbe was rich, independ
ent ana original, ana liaa come to S both for
tbe beauty of tbe scenery and the health of her
companion, Mits Anne Uarland, a girl of about
tnree-ana-iwenty, tan, pa.e, shy ana studiously
inclined. She was the orphan and almost pen
niless daughter of a poor American minister and
a protege of Mile Claude, who often spoke of
uer as -my emiu ana tools a sort of motoeriy
interest in her wellbeing. Sue expected her to
oe in some son a literary success it tue girl s
health which was in a nervous and delicate
state, did not break down. Miss Anne bad. I
tmnK, a mma beyond ner vears. and sue nad
worked beyond her strength to cultirate it, but
sne was wanting in tne elements of determina
tion and success that so much distineuislfed her
patroness, and I always had great doubts ns to
tbe result of these sanguine expectations.
But if Miss Harland were wanting in the ele
ment of success, sue bad at least her element of
interest. She was not at all pretty, and her ex
cessive shyness and proneness to take life pro
roundly au grand serieux lent a certain touch
of awkwardness and embarrassment to her
movements that to me had a kind of pathetic
attraction. But she was so appealing, so thor
oughly feminine, so curiously compounded of
unusual intelligence and childlike naivete, that
one forgot her want of beauty and was only
interested in trying to pierce through her timid
ity and reserve.
She had an extraordinary capacity for love.
and her devotion to Mile Claude was beyond
an oounas or ordinary friendship or even grati
tude; it amounted to a religion, and a religion
luxnsinea uy an imaginative and strongly pas
sionate nature. In many ways the idol was
worthy of the worship. Mile Claude was An
ne's senior by nearly ten years, and greatly her
superior in intellect and force ot character:
powerful woman with the fine ma?sive beauty
or tne old Horn an type, splendidly sincere, aes
potic and gracious, thoroughly wordly wise
ana one or tue ruost sympathetic, warm beartea
women I bays ever met. It was impossible not
to love ana admire ber when you knew ner,
and her friends did both. Among these, how
ever, were not very many of her own sex. and
those few were artists or Americans ; her circle
of acquaintance had too marked a stamp of
more or less refined Bohcmianism to suit the
rigid respectability and conventionality of tha
English and Frenoh ladies. Almost every ono
in S of any pretensions to literary or artistic
d sanction found easy entry into Mile uiaude s
delightful society. I had entered it first as a
doctor to Miss Harland, but the love of art
soon drew us together and we became fast
friends, the two ladies treating me with a sort
of sisterly confidence and kindness which was
new to me, and which I enjoyed as much as I
respected a.
II
One day I made discovery. Miss Anne
had her strong loves and bates. She by no
mentis sbarea her friend's impartial air of bon-
uomie toward ttieir visitors, inere was a ner
tain M ie Comte de Lttourelle whom she par
ticularly disliked, partly I think because of his
marked attentions to Mile Clande, and parti
from the innate shrinking of a pure and sens
tiro nature from tha presence of evil. M de
fjitourelle was qnite a young man but he had
neither heart nor principle; his chief attractions
were elaborately charming manners and aris
tocratic bearing, a fair, handsome face and
marvelous aptitude for tbe violin. I never
heard more exquisite playing, except perhaps
by one or two celebrated professionals; to lis
ten to bitn yon would have ftaid he bad tbe
soul of a God in his finger ends. It was the
only indication of divinity that I ever saw in
bun ! I suppose it was his beauty and musical
renins that so much attracted Mile Claude
she was very susceptible to both but be seem
ed to have the right of entrance to her society
at all bonis of tbe day, and availed bimseir of
tbe encouragement ber kindnesa rave bim in a
war that annoyed me inexpressibly. I knew
tbe young man bad no faith in women and no
reverence for them. AFrehchwoman would hive
seen as much at a glance ; but Mile Claud bad

Toward Miss Harland his manner was always
gently paternal, and he was one of the few peo

"Mr Henderson," she said, going up to him
and laying her hand on his arm with an appeal

impassive face, "Mr Henderson, -will you do

"My dear child," cried the astonished jour
nalist, "you don't know what you are asking.
We don t fight about such things nowadays ;
scandal is lived down, not fought down."
"That may be all very well in England, but
you. know it isn't true here," appealed Miss
Anne, unconsciously quoting her mentor. "They

know it would put a stop to everytuing; i over

Mr Henderson was touched. Ho took her
hands in his and said, very warmly for him :

will do all I can to put a stop to these reports
though I can't fight for you.'
Miss Anne drew her hands from his with a

"I am very sorry for the roor child " h hM
grarely, "but the worst of it is that, though there

spoke, and I looked eagerly for Mile Claude,
but sbe was nowhere to be seen. She must
have left just as we came in, for I saw no more

a proof of her verr wnminlr siinn- H an

proposal to fight the Comte, 1 called and found
Miss Anne alone at home. She was evidently
pleased to see me, and her manner had in it a
sort of suppressed excitement.
"I have found some one at last who Insists
on calling out the Comte," she said, hurriedly,
"and I want you to bo his second. You will,

him twenty-tbreo years old. As I drew near ha
moved from tbe'tree, and bis white faco flamed
with embarrassment; he was fully as by and
awkward as Miss Anno would have been under

tered "How do you do," in a low voice, and

no condition to talk, and turned away to
measure and examine the ground, hoping he
might recover bis presence of mind. My heart
smote mo with remorse ho looked so young
and so hopeless ; but it was too late now to
draw back. Precisely at five o'clock M de
Latourelle arrived with his seconds and two
Burgeons. He was dressed as mual In the per

a delicate white flower. He was perfectly cool
and had the air of being just a tniio ooreu wnu
the whole affair. ' .
"I trust I am not lato, gontlemen, he re
marked with all his customary grace of man

I made some conventional reply and turned
to look at Mr Harland. The sight of the Comte
had apparently electrified him; he was stand
ing with a faint color in his face, as upright as
a dart, and his eyes were literally flashing. I
drew him aside and suggested a compromise.
Would it not content him it tne uomw ngreou
to apologize for his conduct ?
"Nothing but a public apology will satisfy

"That's right," she sighed with an air of re
lief. "Now I will tell you who it is." Her
voice shook a little and her color deepened. "It
is my twin brother."
"Your twin brother ! I didn't oven know you
had a brother, Mile Anne !" I exclaimed.
She looked a little annoyed, and replied rath
er coldly, as if sbe thought my surprise savored
of impertinence, "i never ibik auout, my peo
pie, or any one I care for very much."
This was perfectly true and quite in keeping
with her reticence and shyness, and I was sor

to ask, "
He came over on business to raris last week,
and wrote at once to me, saying he had so lit
tle time to spare that he was afraid he
bould not see me. I did not tell Claude he
had come, but I wrote back and told him all
about this wicked scandal, and ne is just mad
he adores Claude she has been so good to ns
all and he has sent me a challenge to forward
to the Comte, and he says he will fight hiji the
day after to-morrow at all costs, in any out of
tbe way place he likes to fix on. I told him
how good you had been in offering to fight, and
he says he must have you for his second and
get you to arrange it all for him. Is it asking
too much r
"No. no, indeed I will do what I can. and
frankly tell you, dear Mademoiselle, that I am
glad some ene is taking tne matter up. utuy i
am sorry your brother is so young a mau ; tbe
Comte is a deid shot."
The color left her face ; she looked almost as
if she were going to taint,
"Never mind, she said presently, with a lit
tie effort at a smile, and a courageous tone of
voice, "my brother Das tne right on tils siae
ahd that goes a' long way."

Miss Harland s brother a very good follow, and
determined to help him to the best of my ability.

Mr Douglas and the War for the Union
From the New Y'ork Tribune.
Edward Larned of Greenfield Mass, at one
time president of the Ohio and Mississippi rail
road, gives a new version of the famous Doug
las incident of April, 1861. Ue was called to
Washington by a telegram from Douglas, sent
immediately alter tbe latter bad hoard of the
firing on Fort Snrapter. Douglas was sick
with diphtheria. His physician, his wife, and
a Catholic priest were there. As the doctor
wont away he said to Douglas : "Now no talking
or excitement, Senator." But he was no soon
er gone than Douglas aroso, dressed himself
and began reading to Lamed, who had just ar
rived, a long and carefully written letter. He
was discussing its points when a telegraph
message was brought in. He read the message
and immediately began to use emphatic lan
iriiaira in a denunciation of the telegraphic sys
tem, and the liberties it permitted to be taken
with public men. Then he read the message
aloud :
"Do you approve and sustain Lincoln's war
policy ? Missouri will not."
"I said," recounts Mr Lamed, "that I would
not answer such a despatch, and he rejoined:
"This is the penalty lor being a public man.
It is from the editor of the leading psper in St
Louis. I cannot refuse an answer."
"He wrote a reply, which he read to mo. I
will not attempt to repeat it. It wa,s a politi
cian's dispatch.
"I wouldn't send ir, Senator," I said. "Tbe
entire Democratic party of the country is wait
ing to hear from Stephen A Douglas. Your
constituents in Illinois are resting secure in
your ability to meet the emergency of the hour.
But if you "send that dispatch the heart of every
friend you have in the North will sink. It
seems to me impossible that a man born ni
Vermont should vacillate or be unsouud on
this great question.'"
Said be "I am as sound as any man in this
country."
"And I replied, "yes Senator ; but unfortunately
your dispatch is not." Ho protested again,
and, taking up the paper, read his dispatch
with a punctuation and emphasis that were suf
ficient to give it the true ring. But I told him
plainly that the telegraph wires would not
punctuate, or transmit the tones of his voice ;
but the words he had written might be twisted
in a good many ways. I took his dispatch and
read it with my own emphasis, putting a con
trary censtrnction on it.
"He said: 'That docs sound d d equivocal
as you read it.'
"He tore it np and wrote another, which he
read aloud. I burst out laughing, and, when he
turned on me inquiringly, explained that I was
laughing at his ability to write 6econd de
f patch that was worse than (he first. Then be
said, somewhat petulantly: 'Well, I am 111; my
bead is perhaps not clean Sit down here and
write out what you would send.' I sat down
and wrote these words :
- 'I deprecate war. But if it must come, I
am with my country and for my country under
ii i-imnmatgnnii and in every contingency.
Individual policy must be subordinate to pub
lic safety.'
"He read it carefully, signed his name to i
and sent it away.
"That is the true history of Dougla s famous
despatch.
Huotlnirfor Kitapr Down.
A Jitter from keykjavilfffcelaKd, to the New
Y'ork Sun, writes of the eider down harvest as
follows:
The men who get the down leave home early
in the morning, and visit the places to which the
eider duck resorts, and each man bunts for the
nests. The nests are built in clefts of the rock,
sometimes near the sea and slippery from the
spray, and sometimes very high up, where a
false step would be death to the unfortunate
man falling down on the jagged rocks below.
Tbe down is plucked from the breast of tbe
duck by the bird itself and is used to line the
nests for the comfort of the young ones. The
hunter robs the bird of all the lining it has pro
vided for the nest, putting it in a bag that he
carries along for the purpose, and theu goe3 on
and repeats the performance at some other nest.
Everything must bs done very quietly, for a
loud noise frightens tbe birds, and if frightened
away once, they will not build there again
There is a law enforced tnat forbids the dis
charge of firearms within hearing of the breed
ing places, and a stranger would probably be
mobbed if he disobeyed it.
Two crops of down are gathered. The first
crop is the best, for the duck uses an abundance.
of her choicest down in the lining of her first
nest. A short time after the first is gathered
the banters go over the same ground again and
rob the nests of the second lining, which con
sists of all the down the poor bird could rob
herself of for her voung. This proceeding
seems to call out the last energies of the birds,
for they tben make a new nest and the drake
lines it with his breast feathers. In this nest
the yonng are hatched. The hunteis seldom
disturb it, for the probabilities are that tbe pair
would go away and oever return.
After the down has been gathered, it is taken
into a large room in the farmer's hous3, and
each nes'., for the lining retains the shape of a
nest, is placed on top,of a primitive arrangement
that looks like a uarp laid nat, wua strings ui
leather laid across it. The nest is then rublwd
over the strings, and the lichen, moss, sticks,
and other pans ot the framework oi tne nest
that are mixed with the down fall through to
lloor, while tbe cown remains in the operator's
hand. The down is then packed and brought
to market, and from here shipped to all parts of
tbe world. The color of the down is a surprise
to many, for instead of its being white, as some
imagine, it is a blue slate color, glossy aud very
pretty. An immense amount of it can ba
crushed into a handful, but it will resume its
natural form when released.
The down taken from dead birds is not as
good as that from tbe nests. It Is not so light or
r.i much like floss silk to tbe touch. Iceland fur
nishes about 7000 pounds of tbe down every
year that is of a superior quality.
