A s the-pre&idi ng^elder•" didVnofc arri no quarterly meeting was held at the M. E. church last Sunday evening, and 'Rev. Marc-ill assisted in the service at the Congn-gational church wbich was directed and well waged against the foolish, useless, sinful and impolite practice of swearing.

Albert Hardy of Cheyenne, Wyom­ing, is the guest of D. L. Ewen. Mr. Hardy disposedjof a herd of cattle in Chicago and is now en route to Europe, and returns to his ranch in the spring. Many of our readers will remember Mr. Hardy when he made Pinckney his home some years ago.

Peter McGraw surprised us last Monday by thrusting his face np at the window and enquiring after the wel­fare ot the people in town. It seems that when the sheriff took him to Howell he was arraigned before Justice Gregory on a charge ot adultry, to which he pleaded not guilty. He was cast into jail to await examination set for Oct. 21. Previous to his cDming home last Monday the complaining witness appeared and with the people withdrew the charge against him and he is again free. He quite naturally poses as a persecuted rather than a prosecuted man.

The Dr. Waite case, from Brighton, was called in circuit court last Monday. Additional jurors 48 in number had been drawn from all over the county that twelve might be found who enter­tained no opinions in tue matter that would require >evidence to remove them, would "well and truly try," etc. The special drawing took A. Monks, W. A. Carr, I). W. Murta and E. P. Campbell from this township but none of them were retained. Dr. Hunting­ton, witness for the peoj le, occupied the stapd all day Tuesday and the case will probably drag its slimy length through the whele of this week. B. T. 0. Clark assists the prosecuting at-torne3*.

The .Jackson Association closed/a very-iaieresUng..^session at .the..Confere-gational church last evening/ Able sermons, papers and discussions were interspersed with lively wit and jolly good humor. Among the pastors and representatives present were Revs. T, Holmes and J. A/Kaley of Chelsea, D. M. Fisk of Jackson, W. H. Ryder of Anu Arbor, F. E. Carter of Grass Lake, iL W. Fairfield of Ypsilanti, E. W. MilTer^of Big Rapids, Wood-worth of Napoleon, 0. N. Hunt of Athens, R. Adams~^t Michigan Cen­ter, Leroy Warren of Lansing J P. M. Coddicgton of Leslie, 0. B. Thurston of Pinckney, and Deacons Farr of Michigan Center, VanDusen ol Jack­son, and 0. F. Colgrove of Napoleon. The meeting was a very successful one and Pinckney evidently enjoyed it. A special feature was the sermon by Rev. D. M. Fisk Tuesday evening. A large congregation heard him and very many praise the effort. His theme was that our deeds and words live, and the truth, as well as the manner in which he impressed it, will not be lor-gotten.

Editor of DISPATCH.

DEAR SIR:—Will you allow me space in yonr colurnus to say a few words to our school board, respecting the disposal of human excreta. We have no majestic river rolling along three miles per hour to bear away our sewage; /0 if we make the same la­mentable blunder the Detroit board of education have done, we should be lefts, to blame if the Smead nuisance was adopted. 1 saw in the plan submitted

to our board that "closets" were to be inside the building. I hope the school authorities will never allow filth to enter our now school house. What earthly use is there of turning our school building into Poudrette factor­ies. There's no "audi alteram partem" to this absurdity. What Pinckney now needs for her 800 school children is four earth closets, one in each corner of the school grounds. There need b# no great expense incurred. Any in­telligent farmer would supply the earth and take away the accumulation every Saturday, dump it on ;hil compost heap and save him the ex­pense of buying bone phosphate or other artificial manure. Adopt this method and the children would have an object lesson which would be useful in after life. To make these little re­sorts pleasing to the eye plant a row of Austrian Pine in front of them and a Willow or Eucalyptus on one side. For shade trees around the square I would suggest Black Walnut. Plant the nuts this fall and in three yeara they will make rapid growth and in ten years be noble trees.

Res pec tf ally, ALIQtJIS,

[For the benefit of above contrib­utor and the public generally we would say that the school board al­ready contemplates provisions similar to the above suggestions,—Ed.]

- County Legislature. The board of supervisors jadjourned

last Tuesday, having held the longest session tor years, yet no time was wasted. The county business was transacted, but, as we believe, the tax payers are not to be given the full pro­ceedings as they should receive them. Their money runs the machine and they ought to be kept informed on every point of business done by their representatives. The enmtnitte* who visited the poor farm found things in proper shape as tar as the management is concerned, but recommended a change in the manner of heating the building. They a Is? advised the rais­ing ot $5,500 as poor fund for the year and their recommendation7 were adopted. Geo. W. Axtell was elected to succeed Lyman Judson as superin­tendent of the poor, and M.Thatcher was re-elected drain commissioner. Try?'register of deeds was authorized to procure the necessary ^ooka for keeping record of mortgageSpinder the new law. The committee on building jail and sheriff^ re&idence—submitted the following.

FARM AND HOUSEHOLD,

General Rutherford, state commander af the Grand Army in Michigan, was hugged and kissed by a veteran at the St. Lou s encampment in a manner that astonished the crowd. The homage was explained by his ardent admirer with he following story: "Over twenty years ago, when my captain was killed, this was the man who rescued the body and brought it backto our lines after two Companies had been sent to bring it aud had been repulsed. It is an act I'll love him for as long as I live," and he again grasped the General's hand and s rode off with him, while the crowd, whi h a moment before was looking on laugh­ing, signified its approval by cheers. The event alluded to occurred ir> Feb 18G6. on the Jerusalem Plank road,near Richmond, when Gen. Rutherf rd was commander of the 189th New York. The ofticer killed, and whoso body Gen. Rutherford with a skirmish lino of fourteen men rescued, was Captain Rice

In the annual report of Mrs. Lonora Barry, general investigator of the Knights of Labor, she dwelt at great length upon and cited many illustra­tions in proof of the almost brutal treat­ment of female employes in tile east and offered several recommendations looking to the appointment of educa­tors for the purpose of teaching the true principles of the order, and that such instructors be required to pass an examination as to their qualifications for the position by the general master workman; that organizers put forth greater efforts to inculcate the true pr'nciples of the order in tho minds of the number of newly organized assem­blies, that productive and distributive co-operative enterprises bo formed, particularly in the manufacture of clothing, as in this branch of industry

women suffer ,most from poor wages. «»

FREDERICKSBUKG, Va., has a pickle factory that is supplied with cucumbers from the lands adjoin­ing the city. This season the supply has reached 30,000,(.00 cucumbers* those engaging in their production furnishing from 200/100 to 1,000,0-;0 each. An acre ^ i l l produce 10f\o{y\ and they sell in Fredericksburg at S'1' cents per 1,0 0. Tee object is to got them an inch or an inch and a half long, and this requires active picking, before they increase this size. A boy will pick 3,0(10 per day. Picking (hem thus early increases tho productiveness ! of the vine, and while the season last< !

others are appearing in pla.e of those taken from the vine.

A writer in the London Fair Trade I gives it as the result of a very careful I inquiry that 9 ',00') Americans have | summered in Kngland, and that the average expenditure of each has been $1,0 0. The figures are probably well within bounds—those- relating* to ex- --penditurc certainly are to. Here, then,' is the sum of $90,0:).' 00J spent in sum­mer travel in some particular direction. What the grand total of summer expen­ditures of Americans in Paris,Rome,thc j ' rient, tho mountains of the Paciiic and Atlantic slopes, and tho various water­ing-places of their own country may be • is not ascertainable, but $2u0,000,000 i j not a wild guess j

"The Chester (Eng.) Chronicle" is i urging on the English govcr merit the ' establishment of agricultural schools, 1 and comments on the wisdom and en- j terprise shown in this matter on this s"dc of the water. V>v,t it exaggerates • what we can do, wonderful as our ex­ploits are. For in tance, it says: "The great institution, Cornell University, at Ithaca, has for ono, of its main objects a thorough education in all matters of agriculture by students, who work on the farm with their hands as well as their heads." The Cornell students must be first-rate acrobats and tum­blers at the end of their course.

Set-inner'a Magazine will signalize the pnrvpillion r>f i ts first, yp.nr by t.hn p^h.

lieation of a superb Christmas number. Its contents will be chiefly poetry and fiction, and literature appropriate to the season The number of illustra­tions will be greatly increasoi!, and will represent the best and most original work of American artists and engrav­ers.' The cover is to be enriched by a special border, printed in gold, but notwithstanding the fact that the prep­aration of this number has necessitated, of course, a greatly increased cost, the price will remain as usual, 25 cents.

Household Kotei. The gaudy colors and startling pat­

terns that were once fashionable have been superseded by a line of neutral t ints that has revolutionized thes t : 'e of household decorations.

"Oatmeal used externally and eaten frequently is very beneficial to the skin, as are also cracked wheat and other cereals. Put a handful of oat­meal in a bowl and pour a cupful of boiling water over 'it. When this is settled wash the hands and face in the starchy water tha t rises to the top of it. The continued use of this for a week and the wearing of gloves a t night will soften and whiten the rough­est and darkest skin.

A small quantity of wild cherry brandy, a very little tea, thoroughly boiled rice, beef juice and toast, figure in tho usually accepted dietary for complaints incident to summer.

An interesting series of experiments has been made by Dr. J. W. Fraser on the influence of our common beverages on digestion, says the Boston Journal . Among those drinks he funis tha t wa­ter is usually the best. Of infusions, tea or cocoa acts most favorably when bread is eaten, and coffee is the best for use with meat or eggs. Eggs are the best animal food with infused beverages, and should be soft-boiled when tea is tho beverage and hard-boiled with coffee or coca.

Camphor is recommended as valu­able for the expulsion of mosquitoes from a house. It is used as follows; Take of gum-camphor a piece about one-third the size of hen's egg, and evaporate it by placing it in a tin ves­sel and holding it over a lamp, taking care that it "does not ignite. The smoke will soon fill the room and ex­pel the mosquitoes, and not one will be found in the room the next morning, even though the windows are left open all night.

Good Ad Tic* to the Married.

In Mrs. Gen. Handcock's life of her gallant husband, occurs the following, which is commended to husbands and wives: "How well I remember Gener­al Robert E. Lee, then a major* who was stationed there (Washington) a t that time. He was the beau ideal of a soldier and a gentleman. When bidding us good-by And God speed upon the eve of our departure he Said to me: 'I understand that you con­template-deserting your podt, whicfe. is by your husband's side, and t h a t you are not going to California with him. If you will pardon me, I should like to give you a little aS-vice. Yon must not think of doing this. As one considerably older than Hancock, and having had greater ex­perience. I consider it fatal to the future happiness of young married people upon small provocation to live apart , either for a short or long time. The result is invariably tha t they cease to be essential to each other. Now, promise me tha t you will not permit, him to sail without you.'

"The sequel shows how faithfully I sought to follow tha t noble admo­nition and how after, in my varied ex­perience, I had occasion to transmit to others his disinterested, truthful convictions.

Adrlce For Girls.

This is sorbe advice in the Woman's Home Jcurna 1: Gfils, don't iparry a man for moiTiry, p~osiTTO"n~or ;anyThing" but love. Don't do it,-if you want to live to a good old ago and be happy. You may think that money can bring you all you desire, but it can't. Tha t is where you are mistaken. I t can buy you a good many things, but it can never purchase content­ment for your heart or happi­ness for your soul. It may bring temporary smiles to your face, but it will leave great shadows in your heart. Don't think that I would ad­vise you to marry a worthless fellow, just because youimagineyoulovehim. A refined, good intelligent woman should never marry a vulgar, ill-bred man.No,no,never unite yourself to any one who is not a man in the truest meaning of the word. Neither could I advise a woman to marry a man who had no visible means of support­ing bar, but tor heaven's sake don ' t marry a millionaire or a king, if you don't love him. It will not do. Peo­ple have tried it time and again, only to find it a miserable failure. I t may do for a while. You may revel in gilded halls, and be lost in the giddy rounds of pleasure, but a time will come when these things will be hollow mockery to you. There will be an "aching void" the world can never fill. Sometimes mothers are to IJame for the unhappiness

-t>f—their—daughters, They teach them tha t respect for their bus band and lots of "boodle" are infinite­ly to be preferred to that foolishness called love. Tha t would do very well if life had no waves of trouble, but it takes something more than simple re­spect to make two hearts cling togeth­er in the hour of adversity. A wom­an that turns her back on wealth and takes the man of her choice may miss some of the luxuries of life, but she will be happy. Don't marry a dude. Better cet you a monkey. It is cheap­er and a great deal nicer. Don't fool with That class of animals. They gen­erally wear a $10 hat on a t e n o t n t

brain, and the woman who takes one of these chaps will get left about as bad as the southern confederacy did a t Appomattox.

Son* of the Humbug.

Some humbugs prevail in spite olall caution, and "frightful examples" seem to have no effect upon the mass of farmers. The Bohemian oats take $100,000 out of a single county one year, and the swindlers go to work with impunity and success tho next year in the next county, where their previous exploits must have been common talk. "Spavin cures," war­ranted to remove all traces of the dis­ease, find purchasers a t $5 each, when any reasonable man who even owned a horse must know tha t a growth of bone once made can never be removed by any application short of a sur-ueon's chisel and mallet, by which it is cut away. A suavin is a bony growth around the hock joint, and once this growth is made it will remain, although the cause of its growth may be stop­ped and removed by treatment. Ca-ponizing fowls is one ot the minor frauds, and every notice read of it winds with the pithy remark tha t the . instruments can be procured of so and so for $2.50. I once "tumbled" to this offer and invitation, got the in­struments, which could be made very easily for -."> cents the lot, and oper­ated on a few birds, but my conscience reproached me even afterward for the wickedness ot inflicting cruel opera­tions upon inoffensive animals, without necessity, and for the paltry gain ot a few cents in each case only, and the costly cheap affairs remain as a warning to me not to be fooled again. There are many mild frauds, as one might call them, as silk culture, ramie and jute culture, which are much written about by persons who have an interest in pushing them, to sell something called for in the vain effort to make money out of these supposed novelties.—New York Trib­une.

Various Things for Farmers. Some rural philosopher says: Let

your boy who is rapidly growing into young manhood learn to take an in­terest in fowls, and you may take my word upon it, t ha t child will never grow up a cruel man. In the very workshop of nature he will learn to observe and study her and to love her many forms. By all means get your boys some stock in which they < *nay take pride, and you help to raise warm-harted men. And poultry is beautiful.

To raise locust trees, gather the seed as soon as fully ripe in the fall, and rriix with about double the quantity of pure sand. Place all in a rough, but not very tight box, and set it out where it will keep moist and cold dur­ing the winter. In the spring sow the seed thinly in drills, and cul­tivate just as you would peas and other garden vegetables during the summer. The following spring trans­plant the seedlings" either into nursery rows or to the field where the trees are to grow. Tne locust will thrive on light, gravelly soils, and the timber be far more valuable than if the trees are planted on very rich land. Slowly growing locust trees yield the best tim­ber.

"In my forty years' experience as a builder I traced the origin of fires in many partly burned houses and found they started from lathing or furring placed directly against the chimney ^opposi te- the funneUhole^ which is a~common practice; the flue often only eight inches; the funnel will be pushed in so as to leave only room for the smoke to escape. Now, if the chimney is built single, without being plastered, I find the bricks may be heated enough from the fire in the stove to char and often set fire to the wood; the flame runs directly up the side of the chimney, and the att ic or roof is all on fire, and it goes for a house burned by "a defective chim­ney. " - C . W. Bucke, Jefferson, N. H.

Don't neglect your hogs, says an ex­change, even if you are busy upon the farm. The profit upon hogs is a cer­tainty, and it is one of fhe mairi prof­its of the farm, therefore do not get into the habit of bung-hole waste and spigot saving, by neglecting the wants | of your stock. No one should under- -j take to do so much tha t they are not masters of all details upon the farm, and they should be especially careful to see tha t hogs have plenty of good, pure water during the first days of the heated term, also as much shade as it is practicable to give them. We always advise against water from a running stream, as well water is pre­ferable, and no stock farm can be complete without full facilities for properly watering stock.

The successful farmer ia generally one who is always looking ahead,

agricultural report, after describing in strong language the hardships and too early and frequent deaths of farmers' wives, says, as a relief. "There is a bright picture in the chil­dren of the farm. They are the ro­bust and vigorous little specimens t h a t one would wish to see. Strong and well developed, possessed of inquir­ing minds and happy dispositions, with good digestive powers, assimil­ating their food well, and consequent­ly laying the foundation for future mental and physical strenuth, pre­senting, in the sum total , quite a con­t ras t to the children reared within the limits of the cities."

Dr. Robinson says that in nfating swine we should bear in mind tha t Pol­and Chinas have a strong tendency to run back to the original crosses. The characteristic broad head, slight dish of face, medium nose, and beautifully curved ear, makes it, in his opinion, the most intelligently appearing hog we hav.e. There is a peculiar expres­sion on the face of the Poland-China hog which shows a superior intelli­gence. Thi'i is one of the best points or trai ts , if you will allow the expres­sion, tha t it can have, and we should never lose sight of it in mating.

Mistakes in Manuring.

It vexes a lover of green grass-nlots and the good things of tho garden to see, in so many places, a mistaken in­dustry covering the lawn and the leafy strawberry beds with' a thick, heavy coating of stable manure. The first frost impel some people to this injuri­ous kindness, unmindful tha t after the cold wave passes there will be again and again, up to near Christ­mas, mild, damp weather, the most favorable pos-ible to the growth of these natives of the North. But they cannot grow with the leaves debarred from light. On the contrary they must suffer decay, often aggravated by the caustic effect of strong manure. With the leaves the roots necessarily suffer in not receiving from them their due share of the leaf-products. There is nothing for it but to print warning year after year, hoping tha t some may be led to put on a light open shelter only, and to defer even t h a t till December. There is very seldom real need of manuring grass-plots round the house. If not shaded or trampled over much, and if the plants are allowed to make free leaf-growth in October and November the roots will gain strength enough to push a vigorous growth in early spring.—N. Y\ Tribune.

Mr. J. M. True, referred to a most experienced agriculturist of Sa:ik County, Wis., being ra ther 'heavi ly stocked with fine cattle and horses, and short of hay on account drouth, adopted a course of grain feedine with "roughness" which he thus refers to in "The Western Farmer," and bases upon the encouraging experience a bit of s;ood advice to others similarly cir­cumstanced:

"I bought heavily of wheat bran, cut and stored al l . my corn fodder, put my straw where it could not he trampled " under foot **nd, with the full knowledge of the necessity of economy, commenced the winter. My stock never was in better shape in the spring than last. My colts had g^own finely, my 'brood mares dropped strong, vigorous colts, and my cattle.were in fine condition. I thought I had made a discovery; hence, in the present emergency. I ad­vise—if you have ^ood stock, such as it pays to keep at all—don't sacrifice it-;—MflJffi__the rttiost of yow^ empsr-Watch the prices of bran and other mill feeds, and when you can buy br.m for $10 or less per ton, fill up, storing in a dry, airy place. Plan to feed more grain-feeds and less hay th?com­ing winter, and see if you do not con­tinue the practice, even when plenty again fills our barns with hay."

always planning to meet those exi­gencies tha t are quite likely to occur in the experience of nearly every farm­er. TrTeS%£re seasons of very great abundance. Let the farmer, then, make some provision for seasons of drouth, as the prudent Joseph.of old, in the seven years of plenty stored the crops for the seven yearp of famine. Not that we could advise farmers to, every year, carry over provisions and stock fodder tor a whole year, but it is good policy to carry over a partial •upply, a t least.

A paper quoted from the Vermont

Don't GITO it up, Boys.

American Rural Home.

Many boys go to our poultry exhi­bitions, become interested, and wish to purchase a pair or two of birds, but they say they have no place to keep them. This is'a sad mistake. With a few exceptions any shed or o u t b u i W ing can be altered into a hen-house, by simply making it waterproof* erect­ing a roost and several ne^ts, and if it has no windows, by setting sever­al to the southern or .western sides. By this means the winter sunshine will enter the room, making it light, airy and pleasant.

In many places where no shed can be obtained for the purpose, a barn will afford abundant room.

I have seen a hen-house in the cellar of a stable which. answered very well. It was about 16x10 feet; this was divided by a lath parti t ion for keeping two kinds of fowls. The nests were arranged along the wall, and the roosts were suspended from the ceiling. "ft le room faced the south; in the summer tho latter side was lattice work, but in winter this was closed by glass windows. The house was whitewashed and clean, and opened into two snnny yards on the southern side of the barn, which kept away the cold, north wind and easterly s torms.

Such a hen-house can be built a t small expense, and the fowls, if prop­erly kept, will thrive.

There are many boys who wish to keep hens, but are deterred from doing so because they cannot procure * place. May these remarks fall un d«r their notice.

Western Horsemen. From the Chicago Tribune.

As one goes West the American sad­dle horse loses much of his poetry. HiB tail is no longer a paint brush, his coat is no longer velvet, his viens no longer stand out with heated blue grass blood; he no longer champs and curvets and dances and fumes. He simply gets up and gets, and the man on the top of him howls and laBbes him. There is no poetry in the cow­boy's horse, but there is a heap of vis inertia', especially when his rider is after the fleetest steer in the herd or the wildest band of calves.

Uotten row isn't anywhere then, but the festive cowboy is glued to his horse, and no power but equine apo­plexy or a gopher hole could dislodge him. These fellows are not graceful; any Chicago riding master would charge them $100 a lesson to teach them to ride in boulevard shape, but they are horsemen. They can ride on the ueck, or clinging to the cinch, or with onlv a foot on the s t i r rup; they can mount and dismount on a full run; they can pick up silver dol­lars from the ground; they can turn BomcrsaultH over the horse's rump, L'rab his tail, and spring again to the saddle at full speed. They are bar­baric centaurs, but there is no grace or refinement in their movements—it is not equestrianism.

The best type of American horse­manship obtains in the American cav­alryman. The soldier, with his ac­coutrements—his tapederos, as the, Spanish call his s t i rrup guides, his blanket noil, his sabertache, his sad-dle-oookets, and his huge pommel in front to rest his hands.

The horse is a clean, gaunt creature, strong, sinewy, and utterly devoid of "monkey business." He is trained to walk. He never gallops except under spur, but he will walk three miles an hour on a march, and save him­self and his rider. The lamented Gen. Canby, who was killed in the Modoc war some years ago, once said: " I have paid out of my owu pocket $1, -200 for a mare t ha t would walk four miles an hour. To get such a beast it must be nervous aud quick-footed and entirely tractable, and then you have to pay for it ."

The cavalry horse has two or three trainings, but the chief of them is to walk fast, and any man who knows about horses will say tha t this is the hardest thing to teach. The average horse is one thing or the other; he is in full swing or he is as lazy as a snail. To get the desired point between these two is the object of all men who buy horses tor the army, and of the caval­rymen who, have to handle- them. Two years ago a pa r ty of men stood on the bank of the Cimmarcn River in the Indian Terri tory. The waters were racing. All the army teamsters said the stream was "swimming" and and impassable. It was 1,500 yards across. The waters were boiling. No­body dared venture. All a t once on the 'oppos i te band was seen a single cavalryman.

Ho rode a great brown horse and wore a water-proof suit, and oh his back was strapped an oil-silk bag. He had his carbine and belt of cartridges, and as the gallant brute he rode plunged into the stream ho lifted and waved it aloft. Then as the horse lost his footing he eausht the carbine on tho saddle, slid back, grabbed the horse's tail, and tho bravo beast brested the seething current.

"He'll mak'? it!" yelled a bi^ team­ster. "That ' s Jack Comfort of the Filth Cavalry! He's Major Summer's courier!"

Fi;'ty people watched. The great horse caught his footing. An i n s t an t / ' for a breathing spell. Private Card-fort climbed up slowly in the w-fiter, nuth.d the neck of his ammalytjot his sea':, and waded out. /

"What news, Jack?" / ' / "Can't stop; despatches'from Sheri­

dan!" Ho waved his hand, and /with a motion of his,keel the strong/ wet horse, lunged into a gallop thorough the sand, arid in a second was lost in the wil|o'ws and t-age brush. The American cavalry rider is the hard-ieatrtype of his kind; the beast t h a t .bears him is not equalled on any soil.

POWDERLY TOTHEKNIGHTS. The General Master Workman'* An­

nual Address.

K e c o n i u i e u d u t l o u * l o r t h e C.ood o f t h e O r . de i—Htren- . ' th o f t h e K. o f 1..

The niOBt lmpor tuu t documen t present ed a t thugenoral assembly of the Knights of Labor in Minueapolia was the unnua.1 address of Mr. Powaerly, which, BB deliv ered, makes about fiO.OOU wordy, and forms a complete history of 1'owderly'b official life Biuce his election e ight years ago. Following in an outline of the repor t :

When thu last bensiou of the general as sembly closed it dissolved amid tho clamor of discoutentad men and amid the war-riuL' of factions. I t was a large and un­wieldy body and from bo many men who were up to tha t t ime s t r ange r s to each other, i t wan expecting too much to ask of thorn to enact perfect legislation. This body is smaller than i ts predecessor, and J expect bet ter things a t its hands. We adjourned a year ago with dissension in our own ranks ; tha t dissension was en­larged upon and scat tered to the world by uuemies from within aud from without . The news of discord reached the ears of the employers of hibor, and tney in many ins tances took advan tage of wha t they mistook for our weakness and rushed into conflict with our members in var ious pur t s of the country .

A complete history of the famous Chica­go s t r ike of last year was given in detail and reasons given for each atep taken. Mr. Powdorly cont inued:

The relat ion of the order to anarchy has taken up so much space in the public press and has been the subject of bo much dis­cussion in the assembly of some largo cities t h a t it is proper to speak of it here and r epo r t to you my doings in connection therewi th . Lot me say here tha t I have never , us has been so much asserted in the press of the laud, confounded socialism iwith anarchy. 1 draw a wide line of dis­t inct ion between the two, as ovary read­ing, th inking man must . 1 will ask of the genera l assembly to define the position of the o rder on the a t t empts t h a t nave been made to prost i tue it to such base uses as tho anarchis t s would p u t it. I have never publicly ut tered a sent iment regarding the course of the seven men who are condemned to death in Chicago. [This is wr i t t en (Sept. 10, Ifjb7|. I will now give mv opinion. If these men did no t have a fair t r ial , such as is gua ran teed every man m the United States , then they should be g ran ted u new trial. If thoy have not been found guil ty of murder thoy should no t be hanged. If thoy are to be hanged for the act ions of others, i t is no t jus t . The man who threw the bomb in Chicago should be hanged, and his accomplices should receive the punishment allotted to such offences by the laws of the s tate of Illinois.

All l e t te rs per ta in ing to anarchy Mr. Fowder ly quoted at length. Of the Denver quest ion Mr. fowder ly said:

I regarded t h e whole affair as an outrage, and the questions as being impert inent , rascal ly and p rompted by malice or revenge. The resolution which should pass is one to demand t h a t every awowed. anarch is t be obliged to wi thdraw from the order or be expelled. We have nothing to fear from the t rade union, but every­th ing to fear from the con tamina t ing in-lluence of the men who preach destruct ion in the name of our order and who at the same t ime assert tha t they are socialists, while ' giving the lie to every principle of socialism when they advoca te violence oi any kind.

I believe t h a t this r epor t would not be coinploto without an exp lana t ion of my knowledge of the homo club of Now York, and the abuse and ridiculj3_which has been heaped upon me for the pas t two year's"in" consequence of iuy supposed connection with it. Now, 1 intend to speak plainly and candidly.

Mr. Fowderly again quoted voluminous correspondence und related incidentally the facts as known to him of the atterujrt made to take his life in ISSli. Ho contin­ued:

Wo much has been said dur ing the twelve months prior to the first of U\*t May re­gard ing the leader of the ^laltor organiza­tions or this country toward lawlessness, disorder, disregard f o r i a w ami contempt lor the lUig and cons t i tu t ion of the coun­t ry , t h a t 1 deterjjurfned to pu t the order to a test . 1 wrote an apponl", or recommen­da t ion to our members to celebrate the Four th d>ty of July. ' 1 did this tha t the wor ld /migh t know" the charac ter of thu ordyfC and 1 was not disappointed, forcele brut ions under the auspices of the knights 'of labor were held to my knowledge in over '.DO ulaces th roughout the count ry .

For a long time utter the ad journment of tlie last general assembly there was no action taken by the general executive board on the resolution of expulsion of the eigarmaUors. From many places the de­mand wus made to have the resolution car­r iedoutLand the board WHS tlnully obliged to take action.' I did not fav6r"thatl'esbTu-" tion at Richmond and do not favor*it now. 1 believe tha t it was wrong and in viola­tion of the laws of the order. .Soon after it was promulgated by the board 1 pro-pared a decision regarding it and intended to lay it before the board, i did not pre­sent the decision to the board, and kept it unti l now. I present it for the consh a-t ion of the generul assembly.

The decision is carefully prepared and expresses Mr. Fowderly 's 'beliet t h a t the resolution is consti tut ional and of no binding effect except as a warning.

1 now desire to make some recommenda­t ions to the general assembly, had 1 do most respectfully nsk tha t "more con­siderat ion bo given to them than has beeii g iven to others tha t I have made to past genera l assemblies. I believe the day has cptne for knights of labor to ask at the hands of congress the passage of a ;nw crea t ing a depar tment of labor at the seat of the "national convention. We have to day a depa r tmen t of war ; we do not nee.l it all in comparison to a depart­ment of labor. I also believe tha t the government of the United Sta tes should opera te its own lines of telegraph. 1 be­lieve tha t it is absolutely necessary for the welfare and prosperi ty of the coun t ry t h a t tho government establish u telegraph sys tem to be used in the in teres t of the people. 1 recommend t h a t steps be t aken to have the next congress act on a bill to establish a governmenta l telegraph, to.be run in connection with the postal service.

I believe tha t we should go before the n e x t congress asking for the passage of b u t ' o n e or two measures. Thoy should be i m p o r t a n t ones, aud the full s t rength of the organizat ion Hhould be behind those who make the demand. I believe, how­ever, t h a t nothing can bo more impor t an t t h a n the passage of laws creat ing a gov­e r n m e n t telegraph and a nat ional depar t ­m e n t of labor,

To deal knowingly and intelligently wi th the questions in our declarat ion of

F>rinciples wo should have a j ou rna l pub-ished under the control of the order

which "hould reach every member. It should have a depa r tmen t especially de­voted to tho discussion of these very quest ions. It must make a radical change in the methods of educa t i ugou r members. I t is no t enough tha t they come to and go from a mooting once a week. They should have something to read as the resul t of their visit to the assombly. The work of education of old and young ia a d u t y which we should no t a t t e m p t to p u t to one side.

Tho question of my being a member of tho socialist o rganisa t ion has been the subject of so nuien comment of lute tha t I beliove it but fair to tins general assem­

bly to make known my connection with socialism, or r a the r with the men who in former years were at the head of the social­istic labor pa r ty . In 18 *J Fhilip Van Faten, the na t iona l secretary of the socialistic labor pa r ty , w a i a member of the general execut ive board of tho knights of tabor. l ie sent me a red card of membership in August, 16SU. The ca id was paid up by h im for three months . 1 regarded it a* a compl imenta ry act. 1 saw, however, tha t the declarat ion of principles of the knights of labor conta ined irtiuf socialism t h a t I cared to advocate, and 1 never took any action on the card, except to keep it as a memento of those days when we were associated as officers of this association. 1 never cast a vote for the candidate of tha t par ty , wr.a never a member of its session* and'had no con­nection with it except in the manner re­la ted above. The use of firearm;; or dyna­mite was not advocated by the socialists; the confiscation of proper ty or the distri­bution of wealth, or, in fact, the bestow­ing of wealth or means on those who h;ivo not worked andea rned it is not socialism; it is robbery, it is rapine und no sane man can advocate such u doctrine. If believ­ing in the declaration of principles of this order makes me a socialist, then 1 have no denials to make, but tha t 1 am a mem­ber of any other society in which i|ue»tions of labor or reform uro discussed 1 do deny.

Mr. Fowderly condemned tha practice or. caucusing and lobbying on the pa r t of the members of the order, and iu conclu -ion s tated hi- perfect willingness to with­draw from ollice if the assembly so de­sired. Some very wholesome advice was given regarding the proper a t t i tude of the members ot the order toward their otiicers, and as to the best way of conduct­ing the business of the convent ion.

The repor t of (lenoral Secre tary Litch-maii of the Knights of Labor was a very comprehensive and exhaus t ive dpcument, from which wo make tho following synop­sis:

The number of members reported in good s tanding at the last session was 702,-'.i'J4; in a r rea r s '2ti,?f>3; appa ren t member­ship of tho order, TO',677. People came in­to the order in It**) by the hundred thous ands, so t h a t a suspension of ini t iat ions for forty days was ordered. After this had expired the rush again commenced, and the result was to bring to the organ­izat ion a mass of mate r ia l t h a t proved to be a weakness r a the r than a s trength. For the six months following the session of ( the general assembly a t Richmond, papers of the coun t ry were filled with assaul ts upon tho order, upon the genera l officers, und everything possible was done - to disinte-

^ra te and destroy the organization, e t in spite of all th i s opposition, the to­

tal number of members repor ted in good s tanding Ju ly 1 is, in round numbers, 485,-000. Add to this the nearly 50.000 who are in the same rela t ion tn the order as were the 20,7X1 repor ted as in arrears upon the last report , and we would have the mem­bership of the order 535,000 Ju ly 1, 1887. This would indicate an apparen t decrease of about 195,000 members. ,•

Receipts for the fiscal year ending Ju ly 1 are shown to be $39(3,731, giving, wi th balance on hand, a grand to ta l of $508,647. The general assembly a t Richmond, after adopt ing certain amendments to tho con­s t i tu t ion referred the balance of the re> port to the commit tee on law, together-with such other changes as had been/pre­sented to the general assembly, to a special commit tee of revision^' It was ordered t h a t this committoeyfu conjunc­tion with the general executive board, should prepare a revision of the constitu­t ion and submit the same to a vote of the local assemblies of-'tho order. ' The result of the deliberations of this committee on

~r-ev4Hion-w^s..submitted to the local assem­blies as provided under tho vote under which tko commit tee was appointed. The assemblies were requested t c vote upon tiny const i tu t ion proper as tho first propo­sit ion, and upon the article relating to nat ional t rade ussemblios as the second proposit ion. The r e tu rns from the local Assemblies showed t h a t "J,W,'> local assem­blies voted yes on the first proposition and 1,0 10 voted no ; t h a t :J,:>ii3 local assem­blies voted yes on the sec oud proposition and 002 voted no.

Among 1 he recommendat ions by tho general secre tary was the establishment of co-operative savings associations th roughout the c o u n t r y . IIo outlined the benefits which would accrue to tho order from the workings of such organ­izations.

Memoirs of Poe.

The raeent discussion of E. A. Poe'.s works by the literary society awaken­ed an interest in tha t author and pro­voked a good deal of study; of some of his strangest of productions. The poem "Ulalurae/ 1 which has been so often wondered at by its few readers and still fewer admirers, was reviewed by Dr . SigliT who has finally consented to allow bis opinions to go into pr int . We publish his paper with pleasure, hoping tha t readers of Ulalumo will s tudy it with its deserved appreciat ion:

" In reviewing "Ula lume" to discover if possible the hidden meaning of its gad but musical lines, [ think we must divest it almost entirely of reality and consider it only in a mystical or sym- j boiical character , l i would be a difti- j cult mat ter for one not gifted with the ; fino sensibility ot a poetic na tu re to \ lullv understand and enter into t h e ' spirit of such weird imaginings, but enough is known of the author, his sins and bis sorrows, to justify us in believing that this poem represents a phase 111 his own life, and was doubtless prompted by the death of his be oved vrife, which occurred in J an . 1847; and as this was writ ten early in tha t year it mus t have been while under the crushing influence ot tha t blow. His skies were indeed uashen and sober" and as the fitful breezes or October shakeoff and scattei the dead leaves, so his hopes have fallen from him and his life seems spread out as a" lake sur­rounded by dark shadows of misery and desti tution, aud haunted bv memories of the past. And all about this lake and through the "Uhoul haunted woodland" stretches this gre.it sorrow, the "Alley Titanic of Cypress" where he ro.uus with his soul, which In-imagines to have an existence separati from himself. But first, he tells us of t i n lava streams of passion thr.t roll over his hear t in the s truggle with 1 he merciless late that pursues him—mort terr ible because of the chil l ingsorrows _of,adversity amid which he stand;* alone. Eemembrance of time and place fade away in the blackne.-s of ins despair. But as the night (h-is sorrow) grows older a faint gleam of light is seen. I t is H^pe, figured under the name of Astarte, Queen of Heaven. She who has looked upon the sorrows of millions will not refuse to pity him whose cheeks are furrowed with tears of anguish and remorse. She has romr u p "in despite of the Lion" (despair)

< "wi th love in her luminous eyes." The j yv8,3ul mistrusts her pale light. "Tis i

only an illusion from which she would ;

My passions from a common spring— From the b.-tmi> BOH no 1 have not. taken

My sorrow— 1 t.ould not auuki'n My heart to joy at the aauio t o u u -

Dr. Angell reiid his annual report to the board of regents bint evening. It was a very able report and answered in a masterly manner those who have ar­gued in iavor of increasing the Ires of foreign students, i l e showed that rais­ing the ices in 1381-:2 decreased the at-! tendance, and that the number of for- [ ei<?n students h:is never since that date j reached the number of 840 who were! then pre :en t . The fees paid by iion-residents in 1881 2amounted to 521,100. In 188-1-5the rate having been for three years increased, it was unly $21,800. The lets received from non-.'-^i-ii-ni stivitiit- in Lt-ii 7 Wf-re !i:;M.: • .'• auiua^t | c2l>.0r-5 j-i.nl L;y a larger number (M'n-^i- ! den' >tv.dents.

It is weii l;nown that almost without exception for many years the fees from the non-resident students in the law school have more than met the entire cost of instruction in that .-chool. Last year the non-rrsi-dent fees in the law department was $ 17X00 while the total expenses for in­struction wove only £10.000. The presi­dent thinks that it instruction were given to Michigan stuueuis, ttie cost would not be diminished 810,0'H)ayear, -o .th.at the foieign students are a source of profit.

When Mr. Eldridge returned from his work at noon Wednesday, she greatly surprised him by sitting up m bed unaided, tell­ing him she was going to get up. He told her bhe could not gut up, but she persisted and did get out of bed and welked about four feet to a chair. She had free use of her .side that has been paralyzed, and hrr power of speech had returned. The joy of that household at this wondertul proceeding can be well imagined.

The grand chapter of thu order of the Eastern Star of Michigan held its ninth annual session in Grand Kapids a few days ago. The following officers were elected for the ensuing year: Matron, Mrs. A. A. Matteson, Middleville; patron, C\ Water-bury, Ionia: associate matron, Mrs. Oscar L. Davidson, (Irand Kupt is; associate patron, Han W. Sawyer, Quineysecretary, Traverse l*hillij>s, Hastings; treasurer, Mrs. F. Jenn ie ("-minis. Detroit; associate, Mrs. .J. S. Conover, Coldwater; Ada, Mrs. K. Finn, Quiney; Luth. Mrs. Spring, Lan­sing; Esther, Mrs. ,J. W. McPherson, De­troit: Martha, Mrs. C M. ru tna in , Nash­ville: Electa, Mrs. I>. W. Kuperl, Sturgis: chaplain, the Lev. H. S. Pra t t , ' Cra i& Ledge: warden, Mrs, M. A. Downing^ Hay C.it>: marshal. Mrs. S. L. Marshi Quiney: sentinel, Jacob Dewitt. (irand Ledge. The chapter will meet in Grand Ledge next year. \.

Joseph Allen, a convict al the s ta t i prison 51 years old. committed suicide th<? other afternoon by stabbing himself!' Joseph and his son Charles were both con­victed of murder in the second degree, in Van Huron county, and the father was received there last .lanuaryfor a term of 17 years, and the son in the following May, for 2:> years. The eider Allen had l>een allowed to remain idle in hi* cell for a few days, and had acted very strangely. The day before his death lie seemed well, but in the afternoon was found lying upon the cell lloor with life almost extinct. Charles stated that his father had read a letter from his wife, saying that his young daughter had been run over by the cars, and it is thought that added to his despondency and caused him to take hi;** own life.

Act 117 of the laws of 1887, provides that any person desiring to be appointed a notary public must make a wri t ten ap­plication, which shall be indorsed by a member of the legislature, or a circuit or probate judge, and present the same to the governor, accompanied by a fee of one dollar, which fee is to be paid by the governor to the state treasurer. This method will probably cut off the issuing of hundreds of notary commissions which legislators have heretofore caused to be made out, wishing to compliment men who never wanted them, and wouldn ' t pay the statutory fees therefor, thus en­tailing a great amount of expense and labor in the state departments for no use­ful purpose.

Justice Miner of Detroit thought that offenders against the liquor statutes, com-plaimed of before the new law took effect and not tried, could not be tried under the new law. A case was appealed to the supreme eourt and a decision lias been rendered to the effect that all of the of­fenses committed under the old law, whetho.- proceedings had been begun l>e-forc the new law look effector not, can be prosecuted and the violators punished un­der the old law.

The officials of the company are quite elated, and have voluntarily raised the wages of their miners 10 per cent. Their force will be greatly augmented.

Mr...

CHAPTER ICLVIII. I MUST SEE HER.

II Lady Stair wore that locket on the day she left home, how could it possibly come into the possession of Mrs. Grey? How they discussed that question; the duke with all his shrewdness; Lord Stair with all his experience; the duch­ess with all her quick instinct; yet none of them, even ever so slightly or faintly, guessed at the truth. At last, by tome sudden inspiration, the young duehOM turned to her father.

"Papa,'1 she said, "here we are puz­zling ourselves as to how the locket came to be in Mrs. Grey's box; we have

•v first asked one then the other, "It has not occurred to us to ask Mrs. Urey

' - hertelf, the only one who could explain ' i t " ,

Husband and father looked at each other with a start of surprise.

" I wonder," fried Lord Stair, "that we never thought of that before."

"The most sensible idea we have had yet," said the duke. "The question is,

0*. who shall go to see her? 1 should perhaps have the most authority."

" I should have no iniluence at al l ," said Lord Stair, "as I have never seen the woman."

"1 think," said the young duchess, "If I were permitted to go, she would be more inclined to trust me; she always liked me."

"My dearest Ethel," cried the duke, looking at his wife's beautiful face and dainty tigure, " I would not havo you go to such a place for all the world."

"I should not mind it in the least." she replied. " I can not tell how or why it is, but 1 love Mrs. Grey. I—to tell you the truth, Fulke—I should like to go to her."

"You could go to the prison with her," said Lord Stair to the duke. " I think it will be the best plan. I can not bear the sense of mystery."

' I have been thinking," said the duchess, ' that , after all, there may be some commonplace solution of what seems to be a mystery. If my dear mother did, as Lady Holte says, wear the locket when 'she left home on that most fatal journey, she must have lost it, or, after the accident, it may have been picked up and sold or given away.' '

"But why, in that case, should she declare herself guilty?" said Lord Stair, and his face was strangely troubled. ".•*ho always persisted in declaring her­self guilty."

••Yes,'' added the duchess, "but I noticed that she never said guilty of what, and I shall never believe that she was guilty of the theft.".

"There was no theft on her p a r t " said Lord; Stair, "if she did not take the portrait from you. If, as you sur­mise, it. came into her possession by accident, or by some chance of which we know norfiuigTh~o"wcould it be a theft?" •

"If she did not believe it to be a theft yvhy should she call herself guilty?" persisted the duke. "Another thing," he added, "why did she show so much emotion and agitation? Do you re­member, Ethel, she was like a woman suddenly bereft of her senses; do you remember her wild, white face, how she knelt down to you, how she prayed even of the lawyer to make n > effort to save her? Underneath all this there is mystery, I feel sure."

"Yet another thin?"," said Lord Stair. "Supposing that the locket became hers either by accident or by purchase, why should she keep it hidden? One would have thought that she would have sold

^the gold and the. diamonds long ago, and" destroyed the portrait; why should she have kept that?"

"She was evidently very frightened aUts being seen," said the duke. "1 shall never forget her "face when the locket was put into Ethel's hands; I never thought one's countenance could express so much agony. Then after­ward," he continued, "her fear seemed to die, and a strange, sorrowful kiud of dignity infolded her. She was the strangest woman, am! it is the most mystt rious case ! know"

"Shall we have any difficulty in get ting permission to see her?" asked Lord Stair.

"I should say not," replied the duke; "wo can get permission from the Home Secretary, it is a mystery- which should be cleared. How "did she como into possession of the locket, and why did she guard it in that peculiar fashion?"

"Papa," asked the duchess, " Ihave heard you speak of my mother's maid: what was her name?"

"Phoebe Askern," replied Lord Stair promptly.

"What kind of woman was she?" " I hardly remember, I saw so little

of her, Ethel," replied Lord Stair "She was not at all like your pretty maid Jennie She was tall and had fair hair. Your mother liked her much."

"Lady Holte thought she had run away with money and jewels belonging to my mother, for she was never seen after my mother's death."

"No, tho general impression was that she made the best of it for herself. I do not remember much about her. I was loo ill ami km distressed*—Why do you inquire, Ethel?"

"1 was wondering if it were not pos siblo that she hnd stolen tho locket and sold it or lost i t ," replied the duchess.

"That would not account for tho agi­tation aud distress of Mrs. Grey," re­plied Lord Stair. "We are as wide as ever from the truth."

"Have yon never heard one word Of from this Phoebe Askern since my mot e r s death, papa?"

"No, never one word," ho replied. "Indeed, until to-day I am not sure that I have ever thought of her, I saw no very little of her. What makes you ,

»»» look so strange, EthelP "A strange idea, papa, but one which

dispels all mystery. 1 have been won­dering if it could be possible that this Mrs. Grey is really Phoebe Askern, my mother's maid."

" I should not wonder," Baid Lord Stair, and the duke uttered a bitter cry of surprise.

"We hare tot* ao* t •topid M * to thi»kof^«£b«fc»e»ow,"b«s**4. " I feel »«re yom are rich*. Etbefc aa4 Chat, at you say, dispels tbe *y*ery . If Phoebe Askern ran awfay when Lady Stair died, and took w i n her iewels or money, she would naturally be afraid lest sh'e should be found out and punished even BOW. She probably j of desperation in it, something strange,

deed I am here to love and comfort yon, to see what can be done, f am quite sure that you are innocent I have always said so."

"No—no, I am guilty!" said Mrs. Grey.

" 1'hat is what I want to ask you about," said the uchess. "We all know that you had nothing to do with the theft uothin^r to do with the diamonds; We are quite sure of it. Why do you call yourself guilty, when you know it Is not so? Let me talk to you. Take your hands <rom your face and listen to me." '

Slowly enough the pale, sweet face was raised to hers, there was something

kept the locket be anse the did not like to destroy it, or dare not sell it. You have found on* the secret Duchess Ethel."

"I can hardly think that Mrs. Grey was a maid, 'there was something so refined, w w a t l e so thoroughbred. I know no other word which expresses it. I am quite certain that she was a lady by birth, by education and by nature. I never met any one I liked half so well.''

"She may have been a lady, and a maid also " said Lord Stair. "How many ladies in these queer times are compelled to work forth6ir own living; she may have been one of those."

"One would think," she said, 'that Plm'be Askern would rather have avoid-e•' Clavering, than have settled down t i u T o . "

' She would know that you could never recognize her," said Lord Stair.

"Pluebe Askern would naturally love me ," said the duchess. "She knew me when I was Little Sunbeam. She must have nursed me; perhaps that was why she cared for me, and my heart was drawn to her."

"Why need she have changed her name, if that was all; she must have had a motive in coming to Clavering," said the duke. "Some one told me that she came at the same time we did."

The whole particulars were laid be­fore the proper authorities,' and per­mission was obtained for Her *>race the Duchess of Neath to visit Mrs. Grey.

"If our guess should be a correct one, and the person really turns out to be Phoebe Askern," said the duke, "we shall hear more about the death of poor Lady Stair; the maid would know more about that fatal journey of hers than any one else."

Those" few words agitated Lord Stair. He was so anxious, so ill at ease over it, that at. last the duchess perceived it. She went lip^to him one morning with those dark, frank eyes of hers wide open. \

' Papa," she asked, "have you any reason for wishing ifre not to go to Holloway?"

"What reason could I have, Ethel?" he said. .•' \

" I do not know: I could not, tell. Now, see, your eyes do not meet mine. When I a s k y o u a.questionthey a lways answer as frankly as yxror lips do, but >he gentle reply. " I am quite sure that not to-day—not now. Look at me, yoVwould trust me if voucould. Perhaps papa, and tell me is there any reason if yoiNjan not tell me the whole story why I should not go to see Mrs. Grey?" of your ftle; you might tell me how you

"There i s n o reason. Ethel," he came by the'iocket, and explain several that at

too, and the Duchess of Neath looked earnestly, almost eagerly at her.

"You are the same, vet not the same," she said, slowly. "What has made the difference in you?"

'1 hen, underneath the white cap, she saw rings of golden hair, line and soft as those which grow on the head of a child. She remembered suddenly that Mrs. Grey's hair had always been dark, then she understood what the change was; the dark hair; the dark brows, the darkened skin, all so unsuited to the beautiful, violet eyes, were the disguise she had assumed to hide herself.

"You 'are another-yet the same," she said again.

With her white fingers she gently touched one of the rings of golden hair that had escaped from her cap

* Why did*you do this?" she said. "You so fair a woman, why did you darken your hair and face? I can tell you; it was because yon had something to hide."

Mrs. Grey sbrunk from her, scared and trembling. She held np her hands with a gesture of silence, but the duch­ess went on.

"We all know there is some mystery about you, and I believe that I know what it i s ."

"Oh no! not that; anything but that." "There is no cause for alarm, even if

T have penetrated your seeret," said the duchess, "as you will hear; on the con­trary, if it be as my father, Lord Stair, and I think, you will be taken care of for life."

' Now that you will look at me, and listen to me, I have many things to tell you, and to ask you. First, I beg of you to trust me; whatever may be the secret of your life, its history," its bur­den, trust me."

Passionate tears fell from the listen­er's eyes

"Try," said the duchess, kindly. "Looking at you, I am quite sure that on your soul there is no stain of sin or cria<e; but if some great misfortune, the outward shadow of wrong, lies over you, tell me, trust me; will you?" • ; "I can not," she answered in a low,

hoarse voice. " I can not; do not ask me. It is torture to me to be compelled to sayr no

"I t shall be as you wish, dear," was

forced himself to say at last; "none otl whatever."

The day came when, permission hav­ing been obtained from the authorities, the Duchess of Neath went to visit the prisoner known as number forty-four.

The duke accompanied her, but was not admitted into the same part of the prison. He was anxious about his wife, and did not quite like the expedition.

'I he fair, high-bred face of the duchess shone in those gloomy walls like a brig1 t gem in a dark room

"You ought not to bo here, Ethel," he said. "It is a piece of quixotic non sense."

" I am here for a Fulke." she replied. __.He was a little comforted when IK

good purpose,

saw the matron. The duchess fol'owed her in silence

through the long silent passage-*. She stopped before the door of a small cell. '1 hen, turning with a bow to the duchess, she said:

"This is number forty-four."

CHAPTER XL1X. THE DUCHKSS IX THE PUISON CELL. "This is number forty-four," the

matron repeated, seeing a slightly \ e-wildered expression come over ' the beautiful face.

There was a sudden and awful change when the matron said: "

"Number four-four, the Duchess of Neath has received permission to visit you."

They never forsrot the startled cry or the look of • ar^ny that came over the prisoner's f>fl^when she heard that name; S h e U i J f c ^ i e r hands with a gesture of despan^Pfccr face had crown as white as the face ot tho dead—The duchess went up to her sjowly; she saw some great yet subtle change in her; she was the same yet not the same. She held out her white jeweled hanch; in kindly greeting to her: but the pris oner waved them away with a passion of tears. Sh'e cried out;

" I am not worihy! t may not touch them!" Then she recoiled from the beautiful face, looking so wistfully into hers. She drew back until she stood -ngainat tho wall of tho colli and still thn duchess followed her until she stood just before her, looking still with wist­ful eyes in hers

"I am your friend," she said "not your enemy. 1 am hero in all loving kindness. Speak to me -look at me; say thatyou are pleased to see mo."

"If you would do me a kindness," said tho prisoner, "leave me."

"No, Lcannot do that. I have eome purposely to see you; 1 have como somo distance. Why" need I leave you? Surely the sight of me can not displease you; you seemed to like me at Clavering, Mrs. Grey, Do not turn from me; in-

other things to us can not understand. Grey, how did that your possession?"

"I cannot tell," she replied. she added in a low tone of voice, know that 1 pleaded guilty."

"Then you pleaded falsely," said the duchess. "The locket found in your box was there when you came, and was not the one stolen from me at all."

Mrs. Grey looked at her with haggard eyes

"How do you know that?" she asked, "The locket was stolen from you and you found it in my box. What more is to be said?"

"A great deal " replied the duchess. "T-he-Oua great proof that you did no t steal my locket is, that it ha* been re­turned to me. All the st Ion jewels have been found; there is not one miss­ing, and amongst them is my locket set in diamonds. The paper in" which it is folded has never been opened, and my mother's writing is intact; you may think how well pleased 1 am 'to get it; we have both lockets now."

Another cry from those pale lips, more desperate, more despairing.

"You have them both?" she said. "Yes, they are both locked away to­

gether, so that you see you could not -possibly have taken mine."

"And now," continued the duchess, "we want you to solve these mysteries for us. First, how and where "did you get possession of the locket? Secondly, why ditl you plead vguilty when the Jockct was found in yoh*Jabx?"

No answer. "Mrs Grey," said the duchess,

pleadingly, " i beg of you to answer me;

CHAPTER L, 't KBEPEK TUAW tfVER.

"LJfcton to me Mr-*. Grey. I am grieved that you should be so bitterly diatziOMed," said the duchess; "what is more, 1 will not distress you any fur­ther. Let mo toll you why we are so an'xkMM to know in what manner you have possession of the lo ket. You have heard me speak of my beautiful aud gentle young mother, who died so trag­ical a death,- My father, Lord Stair, had two lockets made, they were exact­ly alike in every detail, aad they were both set in diamonds; my father gave one to my mother and one to me ."

"Wait one moment," said Mrs Grey, as she laid her hand on the duchess's arm.

The memory of it overpowered her; she turned sick and faint at heart No wonder that a low cry comes from her lips as she begs the duchess to go en.

"As I was saying," resumed the duchess, "my mother took my locket for me and put it away; she wrote on the paper, as you have heard, 'For my daughter Ethel when she is old enough to know her father's face." That locket I have cherished above every other worldly possession; it was stolen from me with the rest of my jewels, and it has been returned to me with them. My mother, so my father tells me, often wore her locket; he remembers seeing the diamonds shining on her neck The strangest thing is, that my aunt, Lady Holte, who lived with us then, declares that my mother wore that chain and locket on the night she left home for that fatal journey to London. How you are trembling, Mrs ; Grey "

I t was the very pallor ai . weakness of death that seemed to come over her.

" I w 11 not say any more, if it dis­tresses you," said the duchess.

" I pray you go on," was the answer. Better to know the whole truth at once—to know if they were on the track of the secret or n jt.

"The question is this. If my mother left home with that locket on her neck, how does it come into your possession more than seventeen vears afterward? That is the mystery which puzzles us— it not only puzzles us, but makes us un­happy. If you could have seen the passion of longing, and love, and pain that came into my father's face when we were trying to understand it!"

Gradually, as the duchess spoke, Mrs. Grey had'risen from her knees, and the dignity of a great sorrow fell over her—the weariness and despair left her face. As at the time of her trial, a light and radiance came over it that did not seem to be of this world at all,

"You see now. Mrs. Grey, of what -vital importance it is to us to know how my mother's locket -the one she had on her neck when she died,- came into your hands You can understand that out of respect for my dear mother's

jniemory, we" are most desirous to un­derstand it. My father says that noth­ing wasiever seen of the locket and chain at/the time of the accident, al­though my mother's watch and chain were found upon her."

Again the prison walls faded away, and she was in tho darkened tunnel—a thousand voices crying, "Lady Stair is dead! Lady Stair is dead!"

The sweet voice went on—"My father says there are so many ways in which it can be accounted for. It is possible that while she lay—poor mother!—in C'lifte railway station, they may have been stolen from .her, and sold or pledged. We do not want to hurt or punish any one; but wo wish to know the simple truthT^lt may be that the locket and chain were stolen by some one then anil afterward soTd. J t may bo that it was sold afterward, bought by some one, and presented to you

r How it Feels to be Etherized.

From the Pall Mall Gazette. The doctor got out his ether appa­

ra tus and soon compounded a smell like a photographer's shop in olden days, while out of the corner of my eye I could see the surgeon, who had taken off his coat and pulled some guards over his wrists and arms, ar­ranging his weapons in a neat row on the dressing-table. When the doctor . had got his machine ready he placed it over my nose and mouth, with in­structions t o breathe deeply two or three times. The appara tus used for giving ether consists of a box in which, the compound is placed, and an oval India-rubber mask, very pliant and flexible, projecting from it, with * t ap which allows communication between the two par t s t o be cut #& or estab­lished a t will. The mask par t was placed over my fac&, _and I inhaled deeply once or twice with the only re­sult t ha t I was seized with a choking cough, which, however, was soon fol­lowed by a pleasant and fretful sensa­tion. I felt as if 1 were gently dozing off on a warm summer's day, so I closed my eyes and placed my arms down by my, sides t h a t they might not interfere with my breathing. The doctor bent over me and raised an eyelid, but I was wide enough awake to say: "Not yet, doctor." I was rapidly going, though, and felt "I was beginning to lose consciousness. The light seemed gently to fade away, giv­ing place to darkness t ha t was not aw­ful or horrible, bu t soft and restEul. There was no giddiness or singing in the ears, but si­lence and darkness settled down over me, and then a red veil seemed to come from between my eyes and t o float away into the increasing gloom, gradually diminishing into a red spot, the only speck of light left. Slowly this faded away, and Bight, hearing, volition and every sense with it. I had a dim consciousness of existence, but my very life seemed far away, bur­ied under masses of soft darkness. I do not know whether I spoke, but my brain was a blank, and not a thought crossed my mind. Alf was numb, dead and still, t ha silence ofthegrave, but with a faint, indefinable conscious­ness somewhere t h a t this was not death, but only the suspension of life. Darkness was all around; not a dark­ness tha t might be felt, but one t h a t filied everything, covered everything and blotted outeverything with black, impalpable and all-pervading presence.

Gradually and softly as it went the light came back again, with no s tar t ­led wonder as to where I was, for al­most before I could shape a thought I instinctively remembered my posi­t ion and knew tha t the operation was oyer. The figures in the room grew distinct and clear. I half rose up in bed, and then a horrible feeling of nausea and pain rushed upon me. I had lain down strong and well. I woke up weak and throbbing with pain under my bandages, and with sickness such as I had believed could only be produced in Alderney Kace on board a cattle-boat.

"Splendid," cried the surgeon, cheer, fully, "all over, first-rate!" and h* turned down hi* shirt sleeves after tossing away the towel with which he had d ried his hands. My first thought was to ask the time. "Not much more than a quarter of an hour over i t ," was the reply; "I dare say you'll go to sleep now. Good-by."

duchess went on: •You know that you may trust us:

Mrs. Grey folded her hands meekly. "1 have nothing to say," she replied,

"Yon must think of me as you will." "You refuse to tell me how the locket

came into your hands?" she asked. "I must refuse," said Mrs. Grey. "You will not tell me why you-plead-

"I can not tell you or I would," was the answer.

"You will not tell me either, why you cherished this portrait why you hid it away and betrayed such violent emotion wlu-n it was found?"

She knelt down as she ut­tered tho words, and taking the hem of the duchess's dress in her hands, she kissed it with piteous tears.
