Agricultural College P. O. { Ingham Co. Mich., June 23,1886. y

Mr. D. F. Ewen, Pinckney, Dear Sirr—Your ,4Markery"

turns out to be "Chenopodium" (or Blitunrt "Bonus-Hyricus, the "Good King Henry" of the oid berbatists. The common name in England is "Mercury," from which your "Mar­kery" is undoubtedly derived. It iff very closely related to the common pig­weeds of our gardens, they being '•Cbenodidiums" also. Some years ago— about the begining of this century — the plant was consider­ably grown in parts of England. I have had a drawing made of the plant and will send it with description, to* the country gentlemen.

Yours truly, L. H. B*aat, J».

THE DIVORCE.

Yea, Squire, I've called to ntop that suit— It's fuused enough of pain—

An* John has just been taken sick With fever on the brain.

Thcre'u no one else In all the world Can nurse him same as I;

Ah, many a night I've cared for him, In yeare that have gone by.

An' he has just as often watched • O'er me—Excut-e that t<jar—

I just WHS thlnkin' of the time when death came awtul near;

Tor nights and nights he never slept— . To him I owe my life—

I toll ye. Sijuiro. 'tis worth the world To know I'm still his wife.

*Ttae dreadful thought flings to ray mind: For haps the Lord^pf might

"Will come, in wrath, to grunt d ivorce-He only has the right;

Yor long ago when John an' I United hand an' heart,

We mado the vow In His great name That death alone should part.

Ah! little 'tis we know of death Uutil we feel it nigh:

An' little do we realize How soon we all may die.

Yov, if we did, we who have joined Two lives as one in heart

Would tecil that soon enough would come The time when we must part.

fk>, lawyer, haste an' do away Whatever you have done,

I watj,t to know that all is right • " Before the set of sun.

An' when the evening shadows fall, Heaido John's bed of pain

j,'ll pray the Lord to spare his lifo An' let us try again.

KILLED HIS SON.

Graph ic Story of Russian* hilism and Misfortune.

Ni-

Iight The full moon shed-its mellow '©ver one of those mild, dreamv land-scapes of Southern Russia which are so common, &o uniform and yet so varied in their simple beauty; a broad stream, its rippled surface glittering in the silver rays; sleepy willows bathing their overhanging boughs in the water; theendless, undulating steppe, veiled in a dreamy mist, extending on the left bank of the river, on the right of which the ground rose in a steep slope,

-covered with fruit trees resplendent with the white blossoms of spring. On the crest of the slope, where the trees clustered the thickest, a high wooden roof was visible, shining in the moon-light^and from behind the foliage the ruddy light of a lamp-lit window cast a slanting ray into the silvery night.

The ray of light was the only trace of human life. Not a sound came to disturb it except those voices of the night which in themselves seem to form a pari of silence—the chirping of the crickets, the frogs' choir chanting their evening song in the reeds below, the sleepy bark of a dog in the dis­tance. A peaceful repose seemed to have spread over the earth, bidding rest to all troubled, aching hearts, peace to all hatred and strife.

-And yet the man who paced up and • down'the short gravel walk in front of the house hardly felt the influence of the peaceful scene. His step was troubled and unsteady, and,though his deportment,' evidently through long habit, was as stiffhsnd "rigid as that of •a soldier pacing the parade ground, yet the head, covered with snowy white hair, was bowed low on his breast. The fingers of his clasped hands worked nervously and occasionally a suppressed exclamation or a heavy, half-subdued sigh issued from between the firmly-set lips, with the thick, bushy white mustache overshadowing .them.

The martial figure of this old man was well known throughout the whole province of Ooltava, and whenever General Savelieff, or "thjj^eda Gen­eral," as he was familjarrycalled, ap­peared he was gladJ^Tand respectfully greeted by evj^ryone, without distinc­tion of^agc^ of class or of position.

.Peasant or noble, young or old, aJLieH -ran instinctive respect for him, all came

under the influence of that peculiar at­mosphere with which an honest life, a straightforward nature surround old age, winning the hearts of the honest and awing knaves into respect. After resigning his position in the army at the oiose of the Crimean war General Savelieff retired on his small estate as poor a man as when he entered the Government service, and resolutely le-fused to accept any other office. " I am too old for these times," he used to answer. ''My Emperor is dead (he meant the Emperor Nicholas), and I do not understand all your new ways And reforms."

Military discipline and the will of the Czar, when he considered as being an emanation of the will of God on earth, had been the only guiding principles of his whole life. Benevolent towards all, indulgent for all faults and short­comings, on these two points he was unflinchingly severe. "A foo of the Czar is, a foe of God,11 he was wont to say. When in 1847 he had to superin­tend the (ixecutiqn vt a s^called poli­tical criminaJ-^a cnild nineteen years old—he prepared himself for the task as tor a holy sacrifice, and went to the communion on the eve of the bloody day. On the other hand, tKYs rigid, fanatical loyalty did not in the least impair his naturally honest, straight­forward, benevolent disposition. The pooc of his parish venerated hira an& ^ven his enemies £troid not h,oJp> re­specting the character of a wan Whom they hated as tho ready^bol of a brutal iyrnmiy. ^ ^ y

He had married young the woman

he had loved, when yet *x school-buy. Eight year* their union remained childless. When at length in 1H47 a child, a boy, was born, the father's joy knew no bounds, but was of short du­ration, for a few weeks after the event the mother died. Since then all that there was of gentleness and love in the heart of the lonely, rigid soldier was shed on that one boy, the little Andru-sha (diminutive for Andre), and yet he rarely gave vent to his feeling and his son had scarcely any occasion to become aware of it. Strict obedience was the General's rule in education as well as in politics; the hierarchy of sacred power culminating in the Czar began for him in the father. Thus this strange man lived on, proud and hon­est, without fear or reproach, one of the last true knights of a decaying and corrupted autocracy. From the soli­tude of his modest country scat the old General neither saw nor cared to know how the ideal, the deity lie had wor­shiped had long a«fj fallen to pieces and lost the last glitter of its former prestige. For him the Czar was still the father of his people, the ordained and ^hallowed representative of God on earth.

Needless to say, ho had educated his son in precisely the same creed. From his tenderest infancy Andrusha had been isolated from'the outward world and lived with his father a curious life of the past—the life of an old man, not looking forward into the dazzling un­certainty of the future, but seeking in the remembrance of tho past all that is good, sacred and joyful. IJhe boy grew up behind a Chinese, wall apart from all the joyful excitement, the busy uproar of his generation, "heavily la­den," as the g¥eat Russian poet Ler-moiitotYsays, "with the hoary wisdom of his i ires."

When Andrusha was fourteen years of Age his father brought him to St. Petersburg to the Corps des Pages, the tfm military school of the Empire. On taking leave of his son in the recepi tion-room of the school the General for the first time in his life betrayed some weakness. He clasped Andrusha in his arms and whispered: "Be a good bey, become an honest soldier; remem­ber you have got an old father whose life you hold in your hand. If you should ever bring shame on our name I shall die." The boy felt two heavy, burning tears fall on his brow, and be­wildered, amazed by this unexpected outburst of a feeling be had hardly suspected, he threw both hh arms around his father and broke out into a lit of wild, uncontrollable—sobbing. All the pTission, all the love which had been hitherto chilled in his young heart b}' his father's repulsive seycrityT seemed at that moment to stream out at once, shaking his bqdyffoin hc?dto foot, and mingledjwrth' a half-conscious feeling of pky-for himself, for his cold, bleak ehwThood.

And thus father and son parted. During the four years of his studies Andrusha but rafery saw his father. The journey to Poltava was a loiig one. The net of railroads which now.coiv-nects the South ot Russia with the capital did not exist even in the wildest dreams of a loyal subject of the Czar. Traveling was .slow and expensive and General SaveliefTs fortune less than modest. When at length at the end of his studies, which he accomplished bril­liantly, ti»e young artillery officer, An­drei lvanovitch Savelieff, came to pass the long vacation'with his father in the small country house of Poltava, the latter was deeply struck with the change in the appearance and temper of his son. Instead of a merry, somewhat silent but healthy and blooming boy there sprang out of tne pejskladnaya (mail, cart) the General hjid^awaited wita such throbbing Jjnpatience, an earnest, pale maivw-tth a nervously ex­pressive, de^piyimarked face, with a fiery, piejeihg and unflinching gaze—

those young faces only to be 6und among the Russian generation

of to-day, a face telling a tale of deep thought, of premature suffering and of a great tormenting love. And the boys temper was changed too. Of his

^former awe, mingled with an impulsive tenderness towards his father no trace was to be found. He met the latter

ectfitlly, but with a certain mien of independence and manly dignity which struck the old General with utter amazement, though it pleaded him on the other hand to find in bis son something akin to his own iron nature. Thev met no more like father and son, but like two soldier friends, one younger tlvan the other, but both hardened in tho great battle of life. It was, however, precisely this resemb­lance in both tlwir natures that brought them further apart than ever. Both were not slow in detecting that they had no interest, no idea, no aim in life in common with each other. While the son was hiardly able to answej-eor-rectly all hi? father's queries arrout the whereabouts of this or th^t^General, the newest patterns of uniforms, or the most recent events in the life of the Im­perial family, the father felt but little interest and showed still less under­standing for the young officer's erudite explanations o'f *the newest improve­ment in artillery or the projected re­forms in the military administration.

bad—other studios

impression from that incident than that his son, though a capital soldier, was aGziiewhat of a bookworm.

In autumn Andrusha returned to S t Petersburg and entered the military academy. He passed rapidly one grade of the military cur«er after the other, was in 1870 promoted Captain, the Shipka Pass affair, during which the young artillery officer rendered signal services, bringing him the dignity of Colonel and the grand cross of the St. George Order. At the satne time his name became wildly known in scientific circles. He became editor of one of the best military reviews of St Petersburg, and his house was the gathering-place of the best and ablest representatives of civil as well as mili­tary intelligent circles.

Thus years went on. The great Nihilist movement broke out, holding Russian society in a constant state of agitation and terror. The storm reached even tho old General in his solitary retreat. His exasperation against the "miscreants and mur­derers" knew no bounds. He even went so far as to write a letter, ad­dressed personally to tbe Czar, prof­fering his services for the "good and holy cause." He never received any answer. The great number of young nobles implicated in the conspiracy was what especially appalled him. "Have all those young knaves no fathers with honor enough in their hearts to kill the vipers they have nourished in their bogom?" )JQ used to . tipnoral C*l4QI£d him back with an im exclaim when tbe papers brou£ut to] peVToiis Gesture.

me," he gapped. him the name of some new aristocratic "criminal," And then he added in an undertone: "Thank God! thank' God!" thinking of his son, and what a bless­ing it was that he had turned out such a serious, hard-working, brave soldier, "without any newsense about him."

Then came the culminating point of the revolutionary hofrbr—the Winter Palace explosion. The old General's indignation knew no bounds. At the same time a strange, apparently groundless feeling of anxiety for his son, from whom he had not received any letters for some time, seized on him. " l a m growing old," he wrote to Andre, "and would like to see you, perhaps for the last time. Try to* get leave of absence and spend a couple of months with me."

The son had obeyed the father's wishes,

there he is now, pacing to and fro the gravel walk and crunching the paper he holds in his hand with a nervous grip.

" A few hours," he mutters, "every moment these people may come and take him away. 1 mutt, I must speak to him, hear of him that he is inno­cent."

Having formed this resolution the General raised his head and walked back into the house with a firm step. There was still alight in his son's room when he knocked at the door. The young Colonel opened at once and on seeing his father's troubled counte­nance exclaimed:

"What is the matter, father?" "Read that," the latter answered,

giviuor him the letter. Andre became as pale as death, but

his eyes shunned not his father's pierc­ing gaze when, on reading the letter, he looked up to him,

"Andrusha!" the old man exclaimed, in a tone of unutterable anguish, and clasping his trembling hands as if in prayer. "Tell me that this is a lie! Speak, answer me before God!"

A long silence "followed. At last the answer came in low, firm tones:

"I can not, father; for I have never told a lie!"

"You—you—are" The eyes of the old man dilated, his

hands grasped the air convulsively and he tottered back to the wall. Andre rushed forward to support him, but the

Long after midnight, father and son having emp­tied a couple of bottles of champagne* of which the old General had always a small supply in his cellar, both retired to rest. On entering his bedroom, whera his old orderly Matveitch await­ed him, the General remembered the letter, and, drawing the lamp nearer to where he stood, broke the seal. He first rend, the signature: "Anton Pod-biclsky," His brows contracted as if a pa'mful recollection had cast a shadow

"What business has that man to write to me?" he muttered. Po sky was a Polish nobleman^wfib had formerly "been the General's school­mate. As- a veryj?orung man he had been implicajtedm the great Polish in-sarrectiorTof 1830, and had purchased

"Don't touch "Back, back "

At this moment a knock at the door was heard. The General went up to it with a steady step and locked it. Then he approached a closet in which he kept his fire-arms, opened it, drew out of one of the chests a pair of pis­tols and placed them on_the table, ut­tering in a hoarse whisper:

"Choose!" "What do you mean, father?" "Choose, Ttell you—there is no time

She somehow had strayed near the Union pickets, bringing an old rifle heavier than she could well carry with­out showing that she was overburdened. When she saw General Hancock she held tbe load in her arms a little higher and fairly ran into his arms cry-

HOWELL COMMENTS. From the Republican.

Just before noon last Saturday while the T. A. A . & N . M. ballasting train was returning from Byron the engine j umped the track. The flat cars, which were being pushed ahead of the loco­motive, were brought to a sudden halt with a fearful jerk, and a coupling breaking, they rushed on their course again. Sitting on the forward car were conductor Henrv Meyers, James Lamoreaux and deputy sheriff Martin L. Davis. These men were thrown from 30 to 40 feet, Lamoreaux escap­ing without injury. Mr. Meyers struck on a pile ot loose balhistiriir sand on the side of the track, but rol­led partly over th« rail, the trucks of oife car passing over his legs before he could throw himself out of danger's way. Mr. Davis probably struck on the ties, for his back was broken, a bad hole gauged in his head and other severe bruises sustained. The first cars passed over htm on the rebound, rolling his body along in a horrible manner, the break rod not being higli enough froni the ground to clear him. When taken out he was con­scious, but lived only about 20 minutes. He seemed to realize his condition, ask­ed tor a drink of water and requested ! those at hand not to move him as it gave bun great pain and h§,imfst soon die, anyhow. The^iirjfired man and the remainsj^f-Mr. Davis were brought to tpjivrrbn a larry, the accident having occured near Musson's Lake, about 5 miles north of Howell. Mr, Mayers was taken to his boarding place, where Doctor Bell and Wevsinger amputated his rigbt leg (which was hopelessly crushed) just below the knee, and re­duced the fracture of the leg which was broken, also below the knee. Mr. ^lever's wile aud three children, who were at Toledo, arewitli him and he is doing fully ,a^ Well as could be expect­ed, t.ue chances now being largely iu lavor of hft recovery.

Mr Martin L. Davis the deceased1'," is well known m this coun4y,""1iaving

first moved here some 20 years ago. He was a quiet, straight-forward, lion-

jestand honored citizen. He OA'ned a !_good farm five miles north ot Howell, but had previous to ^removing to town two years ago been engaged in busi­ness at Byron and at Oak Grove. He has been deputy sheriff under Sheriti Cook's administration and has given gt.mer.il satisfaction in his official re­lation. At the time of the accident he was riding for the noyelty of the thing, it being a custom ""with numer­ous citizens to takean occasional ride

hind. There was some of the buggy that was not broken, No injury to the team.

On Friday morning last Mr. Lawson, of Cohoctah, brought his clip ot wool to this place and sold it to S. W. Gates, unloaded it ot the old D. K. Glenn ele­vator at the depot. It was just time for the passenger train and as the train pulled into the depot Mr. Lawson lett the team standing without even being tied and gave his whole attention to the train. The team became frighten­ed and started off up the street at a live­ly run. leaving the wagon box and two hind wheels a little way up the street. Mr. W. M. Horton was going up the street if a carnage, making h is regular morniiiflrbrip with his milk. The top of his carriage being up he did not realize that he was in dinger until he found himselt. his carriage and milk cans being promisciously mixed up in a heap upon the ground. No one could tell just what transpired for tbts cloud of dust but when it at last sub­sided Mr, Horton was found to be un­hurt and was using h^s best endeavois to prevent his own horse from running away. How he escape d e m o n s injury will always remamr a mystery. Mr. Lawson paid Mr, Horton for the damage to his bugary and will pro­bably look after his team a little more closely in the tutuie.

LITTLE MISS MUFFET.

»

M I have no doubt she did, and I think I can guess her reason. She has just got rid of a very pretty governess whom she accused of flirting; with her son, and in the emergency—for her children are the most detestable, ungovernable little wretches, and could not possibly be left to their own devices for even a few days— ahe no doubt thought of you."

It was a probable, though not a pleas­ant conjecture, and so poor Magdalen thought She did not attempt to answer it, but sat drearily planning out her future life in the unknown place and with the unknown people anioug whom it

be spent. work was painful and profitless;

imagination could not paint a proh-plcture, when it was so naturally un­

assisted by the slightest knowledge of facta So by-and-by the girl gave up the hopeless effort, and gazed out with tired unappreciative eyes at the rich and varied panorama now unfolding itself before her ; while, with equal persistency and far more active interest her companion •tared at her. •

Pagdalen would have been slightly djjpiifd con Id she have guesaed the 'VMffcts that were at work in the busy aWattt behind that large white mask.

•*8he is pr etty, very pretty, and looks gentle, lady-like, and good—worthy of a better fate than Mrs. Arthur Talbot's drudge. How it I were to exert myself • Bah! What a miserable idiot I am—how many people have I taken 'an interest' in, and exerted myself for, only to be ungrate­fully ridiculed or grossly deceived ! Why should this girl be any better than the les t f It in so easy to look good when one has the meek forget-me-not eyes of a Ma­donna, a glory of golden hair, and a pearly rose-tinted skin. I am too old to be the dupe of my own eyes !"

She turned away resolutely, strong in her new-made determination not to look at or think of Magdalen again ; but in the very act of setting herself more at her ease her eyes fell upon the footstool desk that had made her journey so much more endurable, and the big black " M. V." on its cover seemed to stare at her like a wrt ten reproach ; hev eyes softened, and her thin set lips relaxed their rigid line.

*' Yet that w a s - a n unselrish act, "poor child," she thought with rfhiek compunc­tion. "She only knew of me that I was old, and cross, and afflicted. Which of the others would have endured that test t Not one—not oiie."

She spoke the last words aloyd, and with unconscious vehemence. Magdalen, thinking herself addressed, turned round, and her surprised glance recalled the other from the dream-world in which she was wandering.

" Did I startle you ?" she asked with the queer laugh that seemed necessarily to preface every speech of hers; "I live a great deal alone, and for laek of better company «et into a way of talking to my­self as I talked then."

Magdalen smiled, and, her faint curios­i ty satisfied, would have relapsed into silence; but the other would not this t ime allow the conversation to drop.

"Well , young lady," she went on brisk­ly , "you and I have not much cause of complaint against that officious guard, or porter, or whatever he calU him«elf; after all, we have spent a long afternoon not unpleasantly together."

"Very pleasantly indeed!" But this mild conventionality hardly

seemed to sattsfy her exacting hearer, who said, with a savage little frown

"Say no more than you mean, child. Truth ;is a pearl beyond all pike—you would much rather have been alone !"

"Well, perhaps for part of the time," the girl admitted with reluctant veracity, *nd a faint blush; "but afterwards "

"Afterwards you found me not quite auch an ogress as I looked ? Well, that is as much as I have any right to expect; but I found you so pleasant a companion that I do not quite want to lose si^ht of

There was a touch of eagerness, almost, as Magdalen thought, a touch of pathos In the curious question. All the lonely girl's feeling prompted her toanswer i t with an earnest assent: but, recalling the unmeasured terms in vfailch her new acquaintance had a tittle while hack de­nounced the woman whose bread she to eat and under whose ^roofsJWK-tvus to dwell, she felt that she rnj}sWpeak under limltatatlons, at lea

"With alln*jr"ireart," she answered, with acp*dlallty that almost hid her em-

jment—"that is, of course, if Mrs. Talbot »

"Provided Mrs. Talbot, does not ob­ject !" the other finished with scornfully-uplifted brows. " That proviso was quite unnecessary, my dear young lady. Mrs. Talbot and I are old enemies; but she will be very happy to allow you or any of her charming daughters to become little Mi*s Muff el t t guest, And yon will hold a much higher place In her esteem if you tell her that little Miss Muffet is your chosen friend 1"

She spoke with A disdainful passion, a fierce energy, that WHS out of all keeping with net af^ies7[tir~loolr and playfnl-sonnding words. Maedalen stared at her

amuse Miss MunVt, whose spiritB rose wonderfully after this. She a»ked no more home questions, and volunteered no more disquieting information, but chatted so pleasantly of the place and people that the girl felt quite sorry when they reached their destination.

" Here we are!" Miss Muffet cried, stretching her litf.e limbs and thrusting her big face out of the window. " Well, my dear, I suppose we part here for the present."

"I suppose so!" Magdalen echoed, with a little siuh. as she began to collect her various packages, and brace herself for the ordeal to come. She could only give Miss Muffet a half-hearted attention now that the crucial moment was at hand.

The train came to H stand-still, a porter jerked o|>en the door, and then stool still, apparently transfixed with astonishment at the slaht of Miss Muffet.

" Beg pardon, my lady," he said, recov-ering himself; and, touching his cap, with deep respect, ho added, "but I looked along the carriages, and thought you could not be in the train."

"Is there anyone hereto meet me ?" Miss Muffet asked, acknowledging the porter's obsequious attentions in snch a slight and careless fashion that Magdalen, who had been an unnoticed witness of the scene, decided she must be well used to such thincrs. .,

" Yes, my lndy. Jenkins is here with the enrriuge; but he was just going away."

"See that ho does not go, then. And you,child,.is there*wi one to meet yon?"

It was a question that she herself coul 1 better answer than the desolate girl who stood, a stranser in a strange place, with her boxes beside her. and her traveling-bag in her band. And, as the beady black eyes glanced over the narrow plat­form and searched out every figure there, she did answer it with an nncry negative.

"No, there is no one. I suppose they think you will divine your way, and you have never been in England before !"

" Not since I was a child," Magdalen an­swered, with a brave effort to smile, and a wild longing to cry: "but, no doubt, I can get a carriage for hire at the door."

"No doubt—or, on -an emergency, yon might shoulder your trunk and walk," Miss Muffet remarked dryly. "But I think on the whole yon had better trust yourself to me. Peargpp, «<»«•> thnt th* younglady'fl luggagVls taken to Melinn House. I will drive you home,-my dear."

And, before Magdalen could niter a word of gratitude or remonstrance, she was hurried out of the station and, being comfortably seated in a well-appointed and luxurious denble brougham, drawn by a pair of well-matched grays, rapidly driven down the narrow hilly streets to where white Craymouth lay between the grju?n hiljs and the silver sea.

A pretty and picturesque place always, it looked a fairy city in the rosy snn«et glow: and,'gazing down upon it for the first time, the girl's eyes filled with quick unreasonable tears. She turneM her head' aside, but Miss Muffet saw the flash and the mb>t~8ncceed each other in the large yipjg|ieyep, and made her odd mental com-fnent on them.

"The others never felt the beauty of the place like that," she decided, with her queer grimace nnd nod. " I think—yes, I do think—I may interest myself in her."

But she kent her cosrltations grimly to herself; and the silence was hardly broken until the oirriage drew up at a big osten­tatious looking gate, on either post of which was inscribed in large letters, "Mellnu House." ,

"Well, good-bye," Miss Muffet ssid, cutting the girl's broken phrase.of jthauk* short and squeezing her hand tightly, thoughsheseemel rather anxionsto hurry her departure than to detain her now. " Nonsense ! I don't want thank*, child ; I detest them. Krepup your spirits; I fehall see . you again sooner than you think."

Ami with this promise, hurriedly and rather nervously spoken, she gave the man orders to drive on, and was nut of sight before Mngdalen had obtained ad­mission to Melina House.

Mapdalen knocked twice without any response. She knocked again, anil h> this time her summons were answered by a loutish page-boy, who had evidently sp<>nt

•HE FOURTH of July is again a t

hand—the plain, unvar­nished ' •Fourth." To every nat ive-born or naturalized citizen of this grrnt and glorious land of the brave and home of the free-born ea­

gle, there is no day in ihe calendar fraught wi th eo muoh and *o diverse interest. The re is no uso talking, tho Four th of J u l y double-discounts ,any thing in the line of a holiday yot familiar to the American mind. It is on the Four th of J u l y only tha t the American hear t makes i t a most formidable demonstra t ions of tj»triotiBin and "shows up what it can do . " And the American heart, by the way—not t o speak boflstfully—js capable of consid­

e rab le . All it wants is a chance; and t h a t •chance the Four th affords.

The Four th presents as many different -phases as the moon, according to preju­dices, favorable or otherwise, through which it is observed, and these depend large­l y upon the age, nsYves and property in­volved of the person conduct ing/ the ob-k«ervation. Some, it must be confessed, do n o t possess t h a t patriotic spirit which

s h o u l d temper their judgment. Many, i t as possible, look upon the na t iona l day as * necessary evil—aa grievous as the re­t u r n of a lady's bir thday after forty; Borne ihail its approach as the harbinger of ex--quisite delight—the glad tidings of gseat j o y ; while many, it is probable, diligently s t r ive to persuade thoinselves t h a t it is a blessing in disguise, deluding themselves *rith the fanciful idea tha t somewhere iu rials holiday there lufks an indescribable i pleasure which only the continuous "fizi" -of 'Squibs" and other distracting agents »'prewcnt them frowi-diBcovering. To such' ,-a* fekus make a chimera of Four^throf July /joys, it is scarcely necessary to remark t h a t their expectation's are never realized; the delusive yarTbf powder-smoke and sul-

^phurouj8'-t5Hor8 scarce ever rises sufficiently pty reveal the hidden joy* or dispel the

/illusion. *

To those who look upon this glorious anniversary merely aB an aggravated

-ou tb reak of feeling and fiie-crackers, it is p robable t h a t no ciaRS is more conspicu­o u s than mothers . The regulation Ameri­can mother, it may be said without ex­a g g e r a t i o n , looks upon tho Four th as a ter ror , a sor t of epidemic of punk, pow­der and disfigured small-boys; or an im­personated destroyer of youth, sizzlmg with hot breath and red rockets, going

. a b o u t with "nigger-chasers," and hor-*riblo gun-wads, seeking small-boys to de­vour . The average female's conception of

, t he instruments of destruction used by t h i s hoy-exterminator, it can not bo de­nied, are somewhat vague; she does not /know whether it bo punk or gun-wads t h a t i n s t i t u t e the most formidable

'demolishers of boyish thumbs and ears, •or whether rto be "squibss" or torpe-•docs t h a t mos t insidiously puncture t h e youthful flesh and despoil tho .comeliness of the childish coun­tenance, bht she has an idea t h a t -*ny of the fiery mediums through which the exuberance of the Young Ameri-xain Gnds vent are wretched abominat ions, likely to "go off' a t any moment, and she Abhors them accordingly.' In this, it must b e admit ted with chagrin, the American m o t h e r does n o t entertain t h a t noble and

. unselfish devotion to country t h a t actuated -

patriotism, or mow a swath through bat t l ing columns and d"io protecting the body of a fallen chief or king—In no longer emulated by fathers in real life, in their own persons, nor is it looked upon with especial faver by them when exhibited by sous; indeed, iu most cases, it appears to have become distasteful to fathers to see their sons shoot off thoir oars And maim themselves in working off, with cannon >»nd crackers, the wild frenzy ol their patr iot ic devotion.

Old maids and old bachelors—two classes of people total ly unlike and yet in whom there appears a strange analogy— art?, equally, with fathers and mothers, averse to Fourth-of-JLilys. The explanation of their disaffection probably lies iu the fact t h a t their temperaments won't s tand the racket.

To tell the t ru th , the pleasures of Four th of July seem, to the greater part of the race, idealistic and illusory; then; JB a sor t of effort t o get some fun out of what isn't a bit funny. I t is like fooling with an electrical machine. So tha t the only por­tion of the population to whom the Fjourth of July comes with real unadulter­ated delight is tho young—and this means especially ~ THK 130Y8.

Christmas is more properly tho girls' holiday, b u t tho Fourth eminently belongs to the boys. Thero is no doubt t h a t in tho Fou r th of July "Young America" finds a fullness of joy—an illimitable, ab­sorbing, satisfying pleasure—that knows no counterpart . Tha t this joy is peculiar t o and inseparable from-' the day itself is manifest from the fact t ha t there 1B not a eent's worth of fun in firing Are-crackers the day alter the Fourth, and the only enjoyment t h a t attaches to it a week or so before is in anticipation of the surpass­ing joy t o come. This anticipation is like t h a t which precedes a picnic or a school vacation, only magnified to about the four-hundredth power.

There never was a boy yet in the full vigor of a boy's tireless physical possibili­ties who did not wish "by gol," t h a t to-morrow was going to be the. Fourth, and who did no t wish further t h a t every day for a week-^was-^g6ing t o be a "Four th , " making assort of series of parental "terrifi-catiotis" and juvenile hilarities. ( I t is Bcarcoly necessary to remark tha t there never was a parent who did not heave a sigh and thank his or her ' s tars t h a t the Four th was safely over.) If Borne boy could have been a boy from the first Four th of July celebration up to this one-hundred-and-tenth recurrence of the na­tional patr iot ic convulsion, it is perfectly safe to assert t ha t t ha t boy would have lost no t a single iota of his joy in the cele­bration, and would come up fresh and Hmiling (if he hadn ' t got killed off) t o this anniversary, as ready and eager t o "ram down," '•totich off," etc., as ho 'was the first day he ever "let one go oil in his

hand." '*

Bash, p u t on his white pan t s and vest , , took the youngest of the family incum­brances on his arm and a basket in his hand with Zncharialv hanging onto tho handle; Mrs. J . followed- in his wake with a young Jones under each wing audi a sweet smile on her face, and they s tar ted for the train, the rest of tho young Joneses skirmishing along the flanks.

Arrived a t the depot, Jones was hot , the starch was fading from his cottar, and they found tha t the train dill n ' t leave for iif-teen minutes. They got seated, the chil-

Tdren sca t ter ing over the whole side of tho car. J u s t as Jones had got settled down to tool and wipe the perspiration from his brow, and tho bell -was ringing for the train to s ta r t . Mrs. Jones discovered tha t she had forgotten the tickets, Znch-eus was out on tho platform, and Maria had her linger squeezed in the window. Jones made a dive for Zacheus and dis­concerted tho provender basket; Mrs. Jones "hit for" Maria and knocked her ha t ou t of the window, whtlo Nebuchad­nezzar cried and jumped up and down on a fat lady^s toes. But a t last ' they got ad­justed; Jones snatched Zacheus into the train, Mrs. Jones found tho tickets' in her hand and Xebuchadneazar s a t dawn in an old lady's lap.

When they arrived a t t he park Jones got together the basket, tho shawls and parasols, with the exception of some they afterward found at the raijroad office in thjM*ity. Mrs. J . took the children in tow, except three t h a t tied out of the other end of the car and got lost i n ' t h e crowd. As Jones got on the platform he discovered Zachariah balancing on a plank tha t crossed tho ditch and heard Mrs. Jones shriek:

"For Heaven's sake, Zacheus, come out from under t h a t car!"

Jones was never sot put ou t in his lifo and yelled, with his hair s tanding on end and blood in his eye:

"Zachariah, climb out of t h a t ditclw or I'll t an your infernal little sfcin," aud then he stood Zacheus on his head for about a-minute.

But" when they reached the grove and Jones-hnd gut a halter on Zacheus, and they found a nice shady place where the sun would strike surer than guns in about fifteen minutes. Jones began to feel easier in his mind and sat down to view the situ­ation, jiust where somebody had spilled some lemonade; but it did not matter—he got right up, and only swore. Mrs. Jones took a napkin and made the grass stain on his aft quarter about a foot squa re

Then he stood up in tho sun to let his punts dry, and said:

Another Hatch of l ' r lvatc Pension Bills Returned Without the rrenluent 's Ap­proval—Probable Action of the Senate and House. WASHINGTON, June 25,—The President

beat his record yesterday by sending in twenty-nine messages vetoing tha t many special pension bills.

The President WHS SO much occupied yesterday in considering a large batch of private pension bills t ha t he de­nied himself to all callers and even post­poned the regular Cabinet meeting. Secretaries Lamar niKf"- Whitney, At>-tdrney-Goneral Garland, Postmastcr-(Jeneral Vilas and Acting Secretary Fairchild wore promptly In at tendance but the President informed them t h a t he would prefer to dispose of the pension bills while his mind was on them ra ther tlwin tako up the business of the Cabinet, unless somo of the departments had im­por t an t mat ters to submit requiring im­mediate action. As thero was nothing re­quiring immediate a t tent ion, the meeting adjourned.

Thcq-ueetion of tho probable action of the Senate and House on the Presidential ve­toes of pensiwi bills is becomirrg quite an im­por tan t one, ontlpresjjitB inanven>barras9' ments. s"om& members are of opinion t h a t a largo proport ion of these bills wilt be passed notwithstanding the President's objections, while others entertain contrary views. So far'as the feeling can now he judged the vetoes will be sustained, save, perhaps, in a few oxcoptienal cases wl*ere a majority of both bvanches oonsidjor themselves committed beyond recall to fho merits of such bills. In any event, thedo-bate, if permitted^ is Rkely to assume wide political proportions, and bo acrimonipus in thp extrdme.

now is t h a t the present strike of the Lake Shore switchmen will not only ex tend ' to the other roads centering in Chicago, bu t will spread outside and take in Buffalo, Cleveland. Detroit and Toledo. The men are thoroughly enraged, and there is rro longer any pretense t h a t the Switchmen's Union is not behind the strike. I t is now openly acknowledged t h a t it is, and willing to back up the Lake Shore strikers not only to the extent ef calling out all the other Chicago switchmen, but also those a t other points. Tho causo of the Btrike is, of courso, the retention as switchmen of the eight objectionable men against whose presence the .«4hor switchmon struck two month's ago. At the conclusion of t h a t strike i t was given out . that tho men went back to work on an assurance thh t the eight men should be put to some other em­ployment, and a t the time it was general­ly supposod t h a t the rai lroad had sanc­tioned t h a t assurance.

The <.^uoen's speech an* nouncoB the speedy dissolution of Parlia­ment to ascertain the feeling of the people in regard to grant ing home rule in Ire-hind. After speaking of the s ta te of af­fairs in Europe and Egypt, thanking the Commons for supplies voted, and an­nouncing t h a t royal assent has been given to certain acts of Par l iament , tha Queen says:

" Finally it is my earnest prayer tha t the Parl iament about to be elected may be so guided as to promote the pea-ce, happi­ness and contentment of my people and the streugth and union of the empire."

Mr. Parnell, in a speech, a t Po r t smou th this evening, said tha t tho proposed home-rule scheme was better than restoring Grat-t an ' s Parliament. The separation idea was ridiculoukK^if' separation were ever at­tempted it would be in opposition to a moral power such as existed in America in 1861. The provisions of Mr. Gladstone's , scheme wer§ fnlly adequate to protect the • minority. The 'Irish would cheerfully ac­cept Mr. Gladstone's proposal as final.

GARMOYLE JILTED.

An American Lady Wisely Refuses to Marry » Prof l igate Xobleuiau.

IN. Y. Bpecial-l A cable dispatch states that the engage­

m e n t of marriage be tween Earl Cairns .and Mis* Adela Grant, of thin c i ty , has bee a dissolved by the lady, and the reason g i v e n is that the Earl insisted on a loan of m o n e y from the mother of his prospective bride, so that he might meet bis creditors. Ear l Cairns is better known in this c i ty as Lord Garmoyie , and was popular here t w o yearn a g o a m o n g a certain c lass of society. He has achieved notor ie ty because of the successful breach of promise suit brought against h im by Miss Fortescue, the act­ress. Earl Cairns has large estates in En­g l a n d and Ireland, so entai led, however, as to preclude h i m from raising money on them. His income is also £10,000 a year, and it is all he has in the wide world to l ive upon. His expenditures have been as high as £20,000 a year , and his creditors are importunate . It cost Lord Garmoyle's father ¢150,000 to set t le w i th Miss For-tesque.

Miss Grant is a daughter of Mrs. Beach Grant, of this c i ty . She is about twenty-t w o years of a g e and was introduced to N e w York Bociety t w o winters ago at u party g i v e n a t the house of her mother. Miss Grant is a niece of Mr. R. S u y d a m Grant and of Mr. George de Forest Grant. Last summer she was the guest of Mrs. Ed­ward Wolsolcy, at Lenox, Mass., and" was said to be the most beautiful w o m a n at that chatming resort Bhe first met Lord Garmoyle in this city.
