Copperhead Democrats who never

"Tilden or blood," but the people don't
intend to have either.

by giving np Hendricks, and allowing
Wheeler to be elected Vico President.

I was not the regular doctor, for the
practice in Burnley belonged to Fred
Garnet, an old hospital friend ot mine,
who had taken to a simple country
practice, while 1 bad been roaming
about the world as surgeon in emigrant
ships, and during tho Eranco-Germaii
war. We had met after seven years,
wheu I wanted a month's quiet in the
country, and he had asked me to attend
to his practice, while ho came up to
town to wass a decree, for ho was a
hard-studying, ambitious fellow
A man at the door desired me to
come over and see hw master, who was
dying of gout. This was the annoui.ee
ment bv the servant. Saving that I
had been consulted about a, "terrible
wherritin' pain" in the baek of an old
lady about seventy-five, th's was my
first ca'l. i
"There's Miss Kate a watching for
us." i
I could see the flutter ot a white
dre&j by the gate as we drove j on, but
my attention was too much taken up
by the pretiness ot the place, ana t was
gaping idly about, thinking nothing ot
"Miss Kate'' and her troubles, when
the gig stopped and I lumped down.
"Here he is, uncle, dear," 6he cried.
"Time he was here !'' exclaimed some
one, with a savage roar. j
After giving various little oders I
placed the leg in an easy position, tho
patient breaking out into furious excla
mations the while. Then, by means of
some hoops from a small wooden tubr I
made a little gipsy tent over the limb
60 that the coverings did not touch the
exquisitely tender skin, and at the end
ot bait an hour had the ? pleasure ot
hearing a 6igh of satisfaction, of seeing
a smile steal over the face,' which was
now smooth and bedewed with a gentle
perspiration, and directly after in a
drowsy voice, ray patient said :
"Kitty, my darling, he's a trump.
Take him into the next room and apol
ogise to him, and tell him I'm not al
ways such a beast.''
Ho was halt asleep already, while I -even
in that short hour I had fa'Ien
into a dream, a dream of love; I who
had never loved before, or even thought
of it, but as sickly boy and girl slufl,
unworthy of busy men.
I can not tell you how the day pass
ed, only that Kate Anstey had implor
ed me not to leave her uncle yet ; and
I ? I was her 6lave, and j would Lave
done her bidding even to the death.
He was soon better, but ray visits to
the farm were more frequent than ever.
I went one day as usual, but instead of
Kate being at the window and running
out to meet me, the old getlcman stood
at the door looking very angry, and at
once caught hold of my coat and drag
ged me into the kitchen. I
"Is anything wrong ?" I said, trembl
ing. ' j
"Yes, lots," said thei old man.
"What do you come hero for ?"
"For mercy sake, don't keep it back I"'
I said, for the room seemed to swim
around me. "Is Kate ill ?"
Yes I think she is," he said gruffly.
"But look here, young man, what does
tins mean.
Mean," said I. "Oh, Mr. Brand, it
she is ill let me Fee her at once !"
"She don't look very bad " he said,
peering through the crack of the door
into the parlor, where 1 could see her
white dress; "but 1 say, young man,
you'd better not come any more. She's
growing dull, and I can't, have my darl
ing made a tool of. , -
"Made a tool of I" l stammered.
"Yes," he said gruffly ; "what do
yon come here for ?" j
1 was silent tor a minute, with a
wondrous teeling stealing over me, as
at last my lips said I did not prompt
them "because I love her with all my
heart." !
"And you have told her so !"
"Not a word," I said, slowly. My
hand was being crushed as in a vise the
next minute.
"I'm not a gentleman,, doctor, but I
know one when I meet; one. There,
yon may go and talk to her, if it's as
you say, tor it it s true you would n't
make her unhappy ; but, j my lad, the
man who trifles with that girl's heart

with anger, and mad in turn ; but that
all passed off to leave a bitter, crushing
sense ot misery as I held on by a young
sappling, and peered at the Ecene before
me.
There stood, with her back to me,
Kate fale, false Kate with the arm
ot a tall, handsome, military looking
man encircling her waist, her head rest
ing on his shoulder ; and, even as I
gazed, he bent his head down and she
raised her arms her face her lips to
meet his kisses, as he folded her to his
breast.
I saw no more but stole blindly away,
went to the stable, saddled and bridled
the horse in a dreamy fashion, mounted,
and rode back to Burnley, threw the
brid'e to the man, walked straight to
the station without seeing Fred Garnet, i minute I was in the street, running
and went ott to London.

Six months glided by and then I was
once more called upon to take charge of
the practice of a friend in the suburbs.
It was one dark night in the Winter
that I was just going to bed, half wish
ing I had had a call for I knew that
I should only lie and toss about sleep
less, and I was loo good a doctor to try
my own drugs when the surgery bell
rang sharply, and the summons that I
had wished fur came.
It was a policeman with a handsome
ab, and his oilskins shone wet and
viyidly in the red light of the lamp
over the door.
".Axiden, case, sir," he said. "Dr.
Barker inthe next street's got in and,
sir,, he wants help."
I learned froru him that a gentleman
had been knocked down by the very
same cab we were in, and trampled up
on by the horses before the wheel went
over and broke his leg.
We were there in a few minutes, and
I was shown into the back parlor of a
comfortable furnished house, wise re the
suffeier had been laid upon a rriattres .
A brief conversation with my collea
gue ensued, and ho told- mo what he
feared and how he was situated, anoth
er important call demanding his pres
ence. The result was that we would
stay till Dr. Barker's return.
A taint groan from the matress sa
luted us as we turned to our patient,
and a I held the lamp over his face,
and the light fell upon the fair hair
and long drooping mustache, 1 nearly
dropped it.
"Nemesis !" I thought. Mine enemy
delivered into mv hand. Kate's lover
lying bruised and broken crushed like
a reed at my feet. And now 1 need
not to kill him to be revenged fur all
ins cruelty to me, but stand by supine
and he would die.
A few brief moments told me that I
possessed greater knowledge than my
colleague, and that if I withheld mine,
iiothii.iz which Dr. Barker could do
would save the flame even now trembl
ing in the socket of life's lamp.
The scene in the wood flaied before
me once aiiain I stood there Kate's
sweet f;ico upturned asking fur this
man's kisses, and all so vivid that my
brain reeled and'a mist floated before
my eyes.
"What do you think, Mr. T.awler?"

back into the present.

He was back to his time, and in a
few words I had made my arrange
ments. "Doctor," I said, "you said you were
in my debt for this night's work."
"My dear sir, I'll write you a check
fur twenty guineas wilh pleasure," he
replied.
"Pay me in this way," I said ; "see
that these patients whose names I have
written on this slip of paper are attend
ed to well for the next two days and tell
our friend here that his message has
been seen to."
lie promised eacerlv, and the next

the nearest cab stand. I was just in
time to catch the early- morning train,
and half mad, and half joyous. I sat
impatiently there till tho train dropped
me at Burnley, where the fly slowly
jolted me over to tho old Four mile
farm.
"Kate!" I cried, as halt blind I ran
toward a pale face lying back in an easy
chair by the tire.
"You scoundrel !" was roared at the
same moment, and the sturdy farmer
bed pinned me by the throat.
"Yes, all that," I said ; "only hear
His hands dropped as Kate uttered a
low crv and fainted.
"Quick!" I said, "water and some
brandy.'
v itli a low growl ot rage my old
patient for gout obeyed me, and in a
few minutes Kate ofiened her eyes to
look full iu mine as her head rested on
mv arm.
"Have you come to say good-be?
she said feebly; and there was such a
look ot reproach in that poor worn face
that I could only answer m a whisper:
"No, no to ask you to give and
bless ma with your love; to ask you to
forgive me tor my weakness, for I must
have been mad."
A deep groan made me turn my head
to see that the farmer s heao was down
upon his arms, and his broad shoulders
were heaving.
"1 thought 3'ou would never come

gave up hope."

"I fear so," said Dr.

bitterly to myself : "And heap coa's

lover and God forgive you !"
"Excel-ent,' exe'aimed Dr. Barker,
who was a frank, gentlemanly fellow,
Without professional jealousies; and in
an hour's time we had done all that was
necessary, our patient was breathing
easily, and Dr. Barker was shaking my
hand.
"lie's saved, Mr. Lawler. You've
saved his lite. Now I'll be off and get

she said thai her master had gone to

the girl. '

I hurried on, expecting to meet her at
every turn, and then I stopped short,

me to myself, I was the cold, hard man
once more as I rose, and taking the
lamp, bent down over my patient,
whose eyes now opened and he stared
at me.
"Where's Kate?" he asked ; "and

Sam Johnson pushed out an under

Various attempts were made by his
honor to interrupt the speaker but he
kept on until he got through, when his

Johnson to leave the room, threatening
to make it a personal matter with him

The charms of Hindoo ton.
Many of these Hindoo iusrcrlcrs who

that came across their way, that I have
often wondered whether the Brahmins

On one occasion, while I and others
were in a cafe with Sir Maxwell. Ii3 or
dered his dobochy to Introduce the
charmer. In a few moments a lcanlh
Hindoo, almost naked, with ah ascetic
face and bronze color, entered. Around
his neck, arms, thighs and body were
coiled serpents of different sizes. After
saluting ns he said : "God be with you.
1 am Chibh-Chmdor. son of Chibh-

said our lmst.
I obey the orders of Siva,-who Las
sent me here," replied tho fakir, squat
ting down uioii one of the marble slabs.
I he serpents raised their heads and
hissed, but without showing any anger.
Then taking a soiall pipe, attached to a
wick in his hair, he - produced scarcely
audible sounds, imitating t he tailapaca,
a bird that feeds upon bruised cocoannls.
Here the serpents uncoiled themselves.
and one after another elided to the
floor. As soon as they touched the
ground they raised about one-thiid ot
their bodies, and began to keep time to
their master's music. Suddenly the
fakir dropped his instrument and. made
several passes with his hands over the
serpents, of whom there were about ten,
all of the most deadly cobra species of
India. His eye assumed a strange ex
pression. We all fell an undefinable un
easiness, and sought to turn away our
gaze from him At this moment a
small shocra, whose business it was to
hand fire in a small brazier for lighting
cigars, yielded to his influence, lay down
and fell asleep. Five minutes passed .
thus, and we lelt that if the manipula
tions were to continue a few seconds
more wo should all tall asleep. Chondo
then arose, and making two more passes
over the shocra, said to it : "Give the
commander some fire." The young ser
pent rose, and without tottering came
and offered fire to its master. It was
pinched, pulled about, till there was no
'doubt of its being actually asleep. Nor
would it move from Sir Maxwell's side
till ordered to do so by tho fakir.
We then examined the other cobras.
Paralyzed by magnetic influence, they
lay at full length on the ground. On
taking them up we found them stiff as
sticks. They were in a state ot complete
catalepsy. The fakir then awakened
the.m. and they then returned and again
coiled themselves around his bod'. On
asking us if he could make us feel his
ihtluerce, he made . a few passes over
our legs ; and instantly we lost the use
of these limbs; we could not leave our
seats. lie then released us as easily as
he had pasalyzed us.

experimenting upon inanimate objects..
Py mere parses with his hands in the
direction of the object to be acted upon,
and withe ut leaving his seat, he paled
and extinguished lights iu the furthest
parts of the room, moved the furniture,
including the divans upon which we
sat, opened and closed tho doors.
Catcl ling sight of a Hindoo, who was
drawing watr from a weU in the gar
den, lie made a pass in his direction,
and the rope suddenly stopped in its
descent, resisting all the efforts of the
astonished gardiucr. With another
pass the rope again descended.
I asked Ohibh-Choiidor, "Do you
employ the same means in acting upon
inanimate objects that you do upon liv
ing creatures ?"
lie replied, "I have only one means."
"What is it."
"Tho will. Man, who is the result
of all intellectual and .material forces.

Gold Hcnting In Georgia.
Northern readers may be surprised
to know that Georgia has a gold fever,
and that some of the mines are in very
profitable operation. The mines are in
the northern part of the State, chiefly
the neighborhood of Dahlouega,
where there are seven stamp-mills in
operation with a total of 77 stamps.
Some of these mills are reported to get
out $5,000 worth of gold per month,
and it is estimated that not less than
$30,000 worth of gold reaches this city
every month. The little boys in and
about Dahlonega, it is asserted, spend
their leisure hours m sifting the loose
soil in pailfuls ot water, and make 30
to 70 cents a day. A solid nugget f
gold as large as a peanut was picked
up by the street workers in Dahlonega
as they were grading the public road.
The vein of gold, -which starting in
North Carolina runs through all this
section, dipping to the southwest and
touching Carroll county, is thought to
be exceedingly rich. Speculators from
Boston are in Georgia, developing mines
at Gainsville and at or near Ackworth.
The latter section is said to promise
even richer results than have been de
veloped at Dahlonega.
