A PRETTY HOW-D'YE-DO.Beer-Bottler Lang's Amended
Complaint Against His Wife.
He Declare! That IfHe Is Not Granted•**Divorce Very Scoa He W:ll Ec Driven
In3ane by His Wife* Conduct.
Beer-bottler Adolpb Lang has now filedan amended com; l.iint for a divorce fromLena Lang. They married in Napa Cityin March, 1885. He charges her with ex-treme cruelty, and says that while livingatISIS Eliis street she. almost continually re-fused to spend any of her lime in his com-pany. Wn«n he asked her to do so, her inva-riable reply was cold, curtless and cm-temptuous wit. "Idon't care to. Youktio.vIdon't love you. Wliy do you wantto force yourself oa me? You know lammiserable In your presence."
Frequently to lacerate his feelings, shetold Lira that almost any man was dearerto her than he, and she called him nastynames in tlie presence of his brother-* and ofstranger?. The household duties wore al-iiiost con stnntly neglected by reason of herabsences from lioinw. Tiie children were a!-lowed to go about dirty and slovenlydressed, and when at home she was con-tinually scolding and punishing them, notinfrrqtiently ordering them out of her sightbecause, she said, they resets tiled apes andmonkey *, aud their monkey faces humili-ated her.
While, he snys, he wa< doing all to pro-mote domestic tranquillity aod lavishingevery comfort and convenience on her sheconstantly qiurreli'd, found fault suid foughtwithout <*ause given. Then «he kept up aviolent flirtation with one. of his employesnamed Adam Bach and visited him at theplace of business of her husband while thelatter was ..li-i'i;t. There she would laughand flirt In a most shameful manner forhours at n time in the presence of the otheremployes.
Uu one occasion she even sat on Bitch's
lap. This created great scandal and herconduct became the talk of the neighbor-hood. People had come to him iind warnedhim to keep an eye on his wife. Lang doesnot jay that be suspects any unlawful re-lations between his wife and Bach, but hedoes say that she told her servant that shehad bo love for her husband, but did jove astreetcar conductor named George Smith,and if her husband would only obtain adivorce she would speedily marry thisSmith.
When lie asked her about the truth of thisreported conversation, Mrs. Lang*! replywas, "That is what I said and mean."Remonstrated with she said she wouldnot give up this Smith, rind thereupon at-tempted to commit suicide by taking poison.It is charged that site often toil people shewished her husband would die, that lie wasa fool, etc ;and when once he met with anaccident she expressed sorrow that be hadnot been killed, because, being dead, she-could marry a man whom she loved.
Efforts made in April at a reconciliationproved futile, and in consequence of allthese thing*, Lang says he has become men-tally di-tracted md has become subject tomelancholia. Ifhe is compelled to continueto Jive with this woman he declares that hewill be driven crazy. They have three chil-dren, aged G, 5 and 3, and he avers theirmother is not a fit person to have charge ofthem because of her dislike and cruel treat-ment of them. Mrs. Lane is also chargedwith infidelity withSmith.

LA MARSEILLAISEbu KOUGET de LiSLE
Pakts, April25.—T sterday the FrenchSenator?, Deputies and municipalcouncilorsof Paris celebrated the centenary of the"Marseillaise" by imveiline, nt Ciioisy-le-
Koi. a statue of its author. The town wasbrilliantlydecorated and festivities began
*t9 flock in the morning by a visit to thetomb of Rouget de I'lile. This tomb con-sists of a shaft, ornamented with a medal-iioß, on which is the following inscription:
Claude Joseph Koaget <ls I'lMe,J«o a Lons-:e-^auu!er, en ITGO.Mor:a Chol.«y-le-Rol, ea 1836.

JLfiec the visli3 music and a
lunrbeon.Everybody is familiar with the history of
the dinner or April24, 1792. given by BaronDietreicb, the Mayor of Strasbourg. En-gravings have made popular the scene,when, for the first time, the "Marseillaise"was heard. Itwas the day after war wasdeclared by France against Austria, andthe Mayor's guests spoke of the heroicsongs which stimulated the ardor of war-riors. Captain Kouget de I'lsle was nsk»-Uto write some verses, ana in a state of ex-citement he returned home, look his violin,played, sang and composed. Music andwords • \u25a0nine as by Inspitation, and beforemorning the six verses were complsted. Hehimself recited the starz«s to his friend*,aud the was sent toLuckner,who commanded the Rhine division of thearmy, was distributed in Alsace, sung inthe public square of Strasbourg and learnedby everybody. Indeed the "Marseillaise" wassung when the Tuileriea were taken, andno one was more surprised than Kouget del'lsle to know that his composition hadcaused the fallof the monarchy. The firsttime that the "3larseillaist»" excited Ihecourage of the people was August 10. 1702. aday that marked tiie last hour of royalty.Rouget was indespair because the "Marseil-laise" hr.d proved tr> be a republican song.Ho the "Marseillaise." called by some a sub-lime civ, was really tlie work of chance.The generals said that the '.'Marseillaise"was worth 10,000 men. and they askedfor copies at the same time that they re-quested arm«. Rouget de I'lsle was fright-ened—so frightened that he would havesacrificed all his fame to recall the hymn.But Rouget de Title's lire was in danger,spite of the fact that he had written thegreat war cry. Imprisoned, he owed bissafety to the ninth Tlieroiidcr.
In17i>5 he wrote t> order a hymn to lib-erty, ar.d in this hymn there was n couplettoo advanced for insertion in the editii n oflis "Fifty National Hymns." For a longtime it was supposed that Charles Xgranted a pension to Rouget, because of thisemission, but in reality he received a pen-iion from no one but Louis Philippe. Afterthe eighteenth Brumaire, Napoleon askedfrom llouget a chant de combat; Itwas writ-ten. As Louis XVIIImade no req'iest,Kouget de ,'Me offered to write something;:then his verses were:
Diet! conserve le rof, 1':>poli de !a rattle,Qu'il ias«e ie bonbeai de la France aiieudi to.Inbis chant Leroique '"Henri IV."he con-
fesses that he suffers because of the eclipseft the name of Bourbon.
When Louis XVIIIreturned, Tiouget de
l'l-le signed this chant with his own nameand title.
Because R'ui/et de l'lsle could not payhis printer he was imprisoned, ftnd Berangerwas obliged to take him out. With the aidof Beranger, Roazet trie Ito organize asubscription, but without success. Davidd Augers then sold, at 20 francs a ticket,the marble medallion of Rougeide l'lsle.Beranger's letter to the despairing Rougct isworthy of translation :"Ifwe sell these tickets quickly you will
have money to renew your unfortunate-wardrobe. We, poor devil.-, find that clotheswill wear out. 1remember when Ihad butone pair f.f trousers, that I watched withpaternal care, and even then they played meperfidious tricks. True, Ihad a talent,lacking in you. Iknew how to mend, howto saw on buttons. That is the advantageof belonging to a family of tailors. Youhave not received so good an education, andyou must have new. 1 hope you willseethe new oefore long**"
One month later Louis Philippe gave apension of 1200 francs to the fain Rouget,Six years later we hear of Rougei'd dyingwithout causing the least emotion in theworld. Choisy-le-Rqi. so festive yesterday,was not then mourning for the old man, inblue coat and brass buttons, who alwayswalked about with his friends, GeneralBlein and Captain Voiard, fur these friendsoffered Rouget a home during the last daysof his life.
Engcne Ballet writes of R >uget:"His costume was that of another age;
a long redingote hung about his heels, along old-fashioned perruque and a low-crowned, broad-brimmed hat completed thisBtrnni;e ensemble."
Had Rouget de l'lsle leturncd to earthduring the festivities attending his anni-versary, ho might have said to the republi-cans who talked ofhis part in giving libertytoFrance: \u0084
"Hut Idid not do Itpurposely.In188(J, Baron de la Marinerie published a
document, stating that Marie Antoinette,
When in t.'ie Tempi**, wished to have a copy
of the "Marseillaise." Th« concierge of the'leniple, llalbey, procured it for her, andthis fact is mentioned inan account of ex-penses. Here, beside lie works of AbbeIJelille, is written: "One bottle of orangeflower water and, beside copies of the con-stitution, one cake of snap." After thesecomes "L'lluntie dcs Marseifloit, 10 sou*."
This same bIU mentions 25 livres paid for
tuning the. instrument on which the unfortu-nate Queeu played the "Maiselllaise."
The convention presented Rouget dePlsle with two violin*,or rather allowedbin to choose among the violins in the pub-lic warehouses two that pleased him most.Itis said that the seventh couplet of the
"Marseillaise" was written, not by Rouge tde l'lslr, but by the Abb« Pessoneau. ItUcertain that at one time the able was con-demned to death as a suspect, but his lifewas saved became the revolutionary tribu-nal at Lyons discovered that he had added& couplet to the "Marseillaise."
BaBON'ESS Al.Tll!A SAI-VAD
In the fcrego'ng sketch of Ronzet de l'lsle,the writer of the "Marseillaise" i* outlinedwith sundry versatilities of nature whichshow him to have been a literary Opportun-ist who rendered various services for var-ious Governments, and who was quite upsetbecause his republican-adopted son;z becamethe voice of the republican trumpet. Hisfeelings as actor in the scenes that movedhim to become a versifier were only moder-ately robus?, but like b \u25a0'Us struck idly thesounds he give forth set up sympathies ofvibration which were unsuspected in hiscomprehension of the situation, lie foundhimself famous almost against his will,at;d
would have recalled what he had written ifrecall could have stilled the movement towhich his flaming lines contributed. But itis assuming too much to assert that Rongetde I'lsle's verse caused the full of the mon-archy in France. Strictly Judged it was onlyan incident of a revolution precipitated bymany errors of abuse and hollow falseness ofprinciple. The revolution came from anawakening to the frightful abuses andchaotic collapse of monarchical government,under which the masses were drained of theirlife to feed a vicious aristocracy who hadlong ceased to render any adequate servicefor their privileges, which were absurd andmonstrous far beyond the tale of history inany country. The charlatanism of brain-less government never had profounier ex-emplification of its error, and its strangecapacities of imposition on a people tutoredtoservile obedience and submission, than inFrance. L':it the awakening wns not byany m 'ans made by the "Marseillaise," anymore than was the English Reformation en-gendered and rooted by the vagaries ofHenry the Eighth's marriage tantrums.France was hi desperate straits from blun-ders of administration and fiscal miseriescarried beyond the p.int of human endur-nr.co compatible with human happiness.The ear of the nation in paroxysms ofgroan - attuned to any song of deliv-erance, any speech of wisdom or boor.Rousseau had recited to willing listener?,to greedy absorbers of fresh UioHght onproblems never solved, his Contrat Socialand his Emil, the pioneer contribution onmany phases of educational evolution.France was agape with the novelty of histheories and philosophy was shakeninto unwonted combinations of activity.But besides Rousseau, who, like Rflueet del'lsle, did not perceive how far his ideaswould excite to new reactions in the rhera-istry of human organization, and may beconsidered a dramatist unconscious of hiseffects, there were, others who, had beenthrowingup lurid fireballs into the murkyair of government l>v monarchy and oli-garchical pretension. Voltaire had liarrasscdthe despots as it they were so many bulls
in the ring by his sharp thrusts an i prodsof raillery, Bcorn, parcasm, rvnicism andridicule. Montesquieu and Mirabeaa had
\u25a0 alribnttd th^ir share of eritieisni andanalysis toward setting on (ire the f.icutsof abuse outIt up for useful conflagration.
IlouKet d(- i'l-!e's inspiration came as ason« that took up the agitation of public
.• aKainst i>.i-t injuttfee within France,and lodienation agaiust threatened ii^-from wilbout The monarchy and tiionobles had behaved aceuisedly withinFrance, and here was a conspiracy of thosame stih-e of oppressors concentratingu;on the French frontier* to Impose Diana*cl<\s and fetters afresh and h
;vrf> t\ r.tnnouadespots another lease of ftrindiac power.I)e I'lsla'a song steeied the public hrartwith resolution and warnx.-d it with hope.With a soni likn that in tlieir ea:s, menwho were smarting under the remembrancenf wrooc, and wi;o luted tiie oppressor andfondly h.acced ideals of a Messed politicalstaia in which ail would be fraternity, witha common Justice of relationship hoiunknown, Gould march t<> death or conlli twith a courage akin to tnat of Cromwei.'sIronsides. The cause Enve theiu stretigth.They were h»roes fighting f r country andfamily. The words of tho "Marseillaise"were singularly sailed to the crisis of themoment. They wero noble and maj-stie,and as a popular composition cannot be sur-passed, fur once beard every phra-e stampsi'seif Into the meoiTy, an'!. )>v sheer energyof ex: reasion, convinces. There is a fierce-Ups? in the phraseology appropriate to thetime, and no other national sons; rises to it*levelof force and characteristic felicity. Theman who can listen to the lines withoutbping stirred is deficient innerve-. Butstill more emotional is the music. It isdoubtful whether R»ugotde t'lsle composedthe music. Itseems too much for one manon one night to write a'mosi Immortal verseand wed it to immortal music. The wordshad their effect upon tile French of thatday, but their meaning has bee me feeblerby the removal of the causes. France, isnot oppressed to-day. The pain sng.ge«ted by the words of the "Mar-seillaise" can therefore only be historic,and those who are not oppressed may- shrugtheir shoulders at those who were and nowrepose in the common tenement of clay.The extravagance of much ofShakespeare'slanguage now causes us to smite becausethe tunes arc changed, and we with them.but the music of tuts "Marseillaise" lives
and is the inspiring property of all coun-tries. Be ita German hymn or a musical in-
spiration Sashing up In the brain of Kongetd'lsle, the effect is the same. It is thegrandest national air in existence— far abnveIlayda'a gracious "Hymn to the Emperor, "or"Scut's Whii' Hap," "God S;ivo the Queen,""Yankee Doodle," and half a dozen otherpatriotic airs rolled into one. The air baagiven courage to the oppressed of all conn-tries. 1; is impossible to listen to it with-out being; stirred and exalted. When Napo-leon the Third went to war with Germanyunder the advice (f Marshal I.fin I, hfgave the word to; have the "Marseillaise"played by the band while entertaining Iliaquests it the 1nlieries, Ifanything Id musiccould hare saved misgoverned France atHint moment it was the "Marseillaise." Itnod übt gave Gambetta courage to makethe republic victorious over the grave of theempire. What baa Fran \u2666• not passedthrough during the century that this Bonghas been sung? And France does well togive the author commemoration.

THE GREAT MOROSE FIERCE.
An Artist in Literature Right in OurVulgar Midst.
Why His Books Will Be Published and B-ad
in Future Yean, Though Nobody
Prints Them Now.
Written for The Morning Call
"lie saw an enormous panther draggingthe dead woman toward the window, its
teeth fixed in her throat.* • * The
clothing was deranged, the lonz hair in dts-Older, the limbs lay anyhow. From thethroat, dreadfully lacerated, had issued a
pool of blood, not yet entirely coagulatedThe ribbon with which he had bound the
wrists was broken, the hands wero tightlyclenched. Between the teeth was a frag-
ment of the animal's ear."This is not a quotation from a ten-cent ter-
rible or a nickel nerve-knocker. It waswritten by a great man, Mr. Morose Fierce.
Yes, .Mr. Fierce wrote that. Therefore itis art. You don't see the art. but Mr.Fierce' s admirers will tell you that that isbecause you are too nice."Itis the literature of the future," they
declare. -%r..- ,
And the general reader says, "lhaukGod."
"Oh, you read the maz;izine«, say
Fiercu's friends. "You can't appreciateFierce. Why, the name of Morose Fiercewilllive after nil the Ilo.wellsc, the Jamesesand the Killingsshall have sunk Into thenothingness of the goody-goody. You knowall the goody-goodies are going to sink intonothingness, don't you ? But MoroseFierce, sir, Iwill bave you to understand,is net a goody-gnody? Have you noticedthe neat wav he has of paralyzing the La-dies' Hume Journal and all the magazinesand the publishers generally? Haven t
noticed that, eh? You've missed agood thing. Why, Fierce says allpublishers are fools, and all foolsaie publishers. Rich, isn't It? No. Pierrecan't get his books published unless lieputs up the money or cets somebody to
itfor him. He's got a whole trunkfulof manuscripts that no publisher wouldtouch with a 10-font pole. Ah, Pierce is agreat writer." That shows it, you know. Ifpublishers willnot publish your books thatis a sure sign ofgenius. Have you read hislatest, The Blood on the Carpet'? It tellsabout a man with no toes on his lett f"<>\trying to cut the head off a woman andcutting on* his own by accident. 1 tellyou there is ait in that story, true ait. loucan tell that by the feeling in your stomachafter you have finished reading. Fierce' is a '
great man."Proof is not wanting of the fact that Mr.
Fierce has nt least two dozen admirer*.They constitute the Morose Fierce Admira-tion Bureau. They cut out all that Mr.Fieice writ for the newspapers and pasteitin sctapbookf, one of which you could notbuy for fluOO, and which you would notlake If a man followed you ten bl< c*swith It.
"Did you read that particularly fine thingof Fierce:--, published last Suudaj?'' asks amember of the bureau. "Imean that aboutthe young schoolgirl's poetry. The school-girl is about 14 years old, yi'U know. Shehad an idea shh could write, but Fierceground that girl into smithereens, lieshowed that she was simply not iiiit. Thatwns a bright expression of his, 'The Pegas-sified fructifyer of such puerile rot it wereblasphemy to call it muck— ought to bespanked.' Then you ought to see the way
lie went for Sunday-school superintendents,and how he showed up the supreme kiliter-eracv of persons v. bo do not s iv 'the NowVorkan lake ,' instead of 'the New Yolklakes.' (_))<, itwas superb
Fierce prides himself on the fact that nomagazine ever publishes his stories. "Thosechildish magazines"— he wouldn't take athousand dollars a line and write for them;
They are altogether to nice. They are too
modern. Blast them all, they are right upto date! Why, they are full of sunshineand reflect actual life, photograph if, infact. Their illustrations are chiefly basedou phntOiirnplH. They show lucid, coni-
iiioniNßCo pictures of things— ac'inl scenesand actual persons. Not a single distorted,ugly, hideous sketch can you find. Theyare natural, realistic
—a plague on 'em
all. They givo you glimpses Into thereal live* of people. As if "anybodycared for that sort of ro\ or ought lv carefor it. Why, it i-, the. hideous tl at peopleought to be looking for— the gtiastily un-natural, the ereepily, crawlily, horribly,
disgustingly delightful. What is the goodof sunlight? What is the good of seeingdecent things— of looking upon anythingbut the harrowing? A plague on the child-ish, commonplace sun. Give us a good,fcteady-iroiiur, trustworthy eclipse. That iswhat we want. That is what people willappreciate when the time for reading thelitfiature of the future comes around. Theliterature of the future— that's what it is.Don't call Itthe resurrection of the litera-ture of Edgar Allan Poe. People never ap-preciated Pee. lie was too delightfullyhorrible. But they willappreciate Fierce
-in time.
This natural literature will bfgln to takea back seat just as soon as people begin toappreciate tiio unnatural school, of whichMr. Morose Fierce is an exponent. Justyou watt until people begin to grow plantsdown in their cellars. Titan you'll seesomething. You'll see beautiful, lon*,white stalk*, with the most perfect leaveson delicate leave*, white-green— whatpeople who don't know any better call"sickly vegetation." Why there are peoplewho would actually take those plants catinto the sunlight and let them grow in thatbeastly natural way. Faugh! As if wewanted anything natural. Just wait untilthe unnatural methods come into vogue,and then you'll see plants and literature.that will be worth seeing.
Then too tlie.-e childish, natural writerslet blood stay in the veins of the peoplethey write about. Isn't that just too ridic-ulous for anything? What you want to dowith your blood is to scatter it about— letpeople see It. It's a nice thing to look at,blood is. Give us plenty of gore. Nowhere is a passage with the true art feelingin it. It is from "The Affair at Coulter'sNotch":
"When the gun was sponged it wasloaded; when loaded, aimed and tired. Thecolonel observed something new to his mili-tary experience— something horrible nndunnatural: the gun was bleeding at themouth. In temporary default of water theman sponging had dipped his SDonge in apool if bis eomrad«>' blood."
Isn't it great! What other man besidesFierce could write like that?
Other people might try, of course, butthen they could not get in blood enouchand horror enough. The publishers willnot have it,of course, which is proof posi-tive of Fierce* greatness.
The publisher of the future willsay to hismanuscript reader:
"Bead that•stuff of Mr. Redblood Hor-
rors?"'"Yes," willcome the reply.•Think it willdo?""Ah, it is great. Itell you Horrors is an
artist. Why, Ihaven't been able to eatanything since Ibegan reading it. Itellyou, sir. there's a man who can reachpeople's stomachs. That book will be thosuccess of the year."

When the stronger i- ii'st in N«*w Yorkhe is haunted with resemblances. Elusive,tantalizing, unexpected reminders of hisdearest foes and fondest friends are con-stantly jistlint! him in the crowd. He isconvinced the human family is divided Intoinnumerable group*, and ho has known athome a type of every group, and now him*almost a counterpart of every typo he hasknown. 1thought 1 was viewing "a type"the other day that bad a striking em-blance to tnat sweetest of women, Mrs.Sallie Clarke, sister of that bonny, winsomebelie. Miss Susie Ku«ss)l. Much to my de-light it was not a tantalizing resemblancethat challenged my attention, but a charm-'ing reality. Mrs. Clarke had come overwith Mr. Clarke from Pittsburg wbi<-h isnow their home- She expected t» meet MissMinnie Clarke of Sacramento, who i« com-ing on to New York to visit Miss FannieTyrreH. Miss Clarke was detained InWashington, but before returning to Cali-fornia she expects to make a long vis atPittsburg. Mr. and Mrs. Will Clarke areenjoying the East and are in excellenthealth. The little daughters are In a;i idealboarding-school. Although Mr. Clarke isdoing so finely in business, and is lit goodhealth, and everything bids fair for what isbright and successful, both Mr. and Mrs.Clarke miss their host of frior.dsall throughCalifornia and are yet loyalin their appre-ciation of the Golden State.

HETHERINGTON IS HERE.
(tower Robinson's Slayer Arriveson the .Oceanic.
He Refutes to Be Interviewed and Acts Likea Boer- His Wife Snubbed on Board
the Steamer.
"J. 11. Hctherington, wife and child,lowa," was the legend written ina nervous,irritable hand across the page of the Occi-dental Hotel register jestrrday. Little at-tention v.'as paid to itat first, but when itbecame known that it was none other thanthe notorious lieutenant of the United Statesnavy who shut and killed Gower RobinsonIn the streets of Yokohama there was animmediate desire to oaten a glimpse of him.The fact that ho was the central figure inone of the greatest scandals of the age madehim an object of lie keenest curiosity, butto this the fiery lieutenant most strenuouslyobjected, and in refusing to bo interviewedhe acted like a man with a wheel in his head.He turned very red in the face and cursedvery loudly, and even went so far as to
make violent and threatening gestures. Heprobably thought that his reputation as akiller would have the effect of frighteningall interviewers.
The lieutenant and his wife arrived bythe Oriental and Occidental Company'ssteamer Oceanic, which steamed into theharbor yesterday morning, and after laning were driven at once- to the OccidentalHotel, where they were assigned to room214 and proceeded at once to deny them-selves to all callers,
REFUSED TO BE BEES.
To all cards sent up the invariable reply
was returned that the lieutenant could notbe seen, and the hotel employes reported
that be was not in amost amiable mood. Infact he acted like a man who was mad allover, and who had soured on the world.
His* fellow-passengers, as a rule, pro-nflunecd him a decent feliow, but declaredthat his trip across was anything but apleasant one, owinc to the fact that Mrs.Heiberington was ostracized by the ladiesaboard ship. This made the husbandangry, and ho took no pains to conceal hiswrath. He swore at everybody and every-thing, and conducted himself in such a waygenerally as to leave the impression that hewas something of a boor by nature. As tothe wife, however, she saw how thingswero drilling and in a few days after sail-ing she retired to her 'cabiu and but littlewas seen of her from that time until thevessel was docked at this city. Occasion-ally she appeared at tho concerts andlectures which were given aboard ship, butalways in the most unobtrusive manner andwith Hie air of ono who realized that shewas being shunned. She was most devotedto her infant, and seemed to find In it asource ofcomfort. Her toilet was of themost simple nature, and during the entirevoyage she dressed in dark, sober-coloredclothing.
When the steamer was docke 1 th« newsthat Uetherington and his wife were enboard spread like *prairie tire, and in a fewminutes the dock whs lined withan anxiouscrowd to catch a glimpse of the notoriouscouple. This seemed to enrage the lieu-tenant, whose, fierce red whiskers fairlycurled with indignation, and as he walkeddown the plank, leading his wife to a car-riage which stood in waiting, the curseswhich ho uttered could bo distinctly heardby the bystanders. To a reporter whoasked him for an interview he sail: "Getout of my way, and attend to your ownlusiness.
-Idon't.want to talk to you or
any of your kind."HOW THEY LOOKED.
They willremain here for a few days andthen proceed East. The lieutenant willgoto Washington and his wile to her old hometo visit her mother.Inappearance Hetherington is not at all
prepossessing. lie is tall and squarelybuilt, and resembles more a prosperousfarmer than a naval officer. His hair andbeard are of a bright red hue, and his faceis florid in complexion.
His wife is certainly a pretty woman,with a tall and stylish figure. Her mosthandsome features are her eyes, which arelarge ana lustrous and of a deep-blue color.Woutk-rlug eyes they are, with somethingin them, strange to say, of the innocence tila baby, and set remarkably far apart, tierface, is small and oval in shape, and re-minds one of the faces in a painting of the.old, musters. Crowning the face is a massof fluffy golden hair.
