Her pertumetl yellow hair hung up by the mirror, while she sat in the fra grant haze that blew through the cur tained lattice, wafting in the sweets of jasmine and heliotrope. On the saffron maze of perfected years he saw the dimly-limned pictures of lost opportu nities for rosy sinning, and dreamed, as she scanned the lines in the architecture ot her life, of more than one buried chance tor transgression whose bridal robes ot pallid and half -forgotten advan tages rustled in the low, musical aim ot ber memory. Kisiiig languidly from her chair 6he cros.ed the velvet floor to a corner ot her chamber where her g tossy coaled j horse stood patiently stampirg bon-bo:is in his satin lined stall ot sandalwood The noble brute tamed, and, affection, ately placing his nigh fore-leg around her waist, looked down in her lapie- iaxuli eyes with that ineffable expres- j sion ot a horse. "Yes, Toto," sighed the young girl ; "tho eaprit dc corps may fail ; but, car riiiba, have I not thee ? Thov wert ray friend on the old stone bridge at Florence, the Marquis came not, and even now I hear the fall of thy boots that beat down the echoes ot eighty ceiiluries and made the shallow arches ring as rang the sword against the diamond studded breast ot him of Baoiidelinoute when Easter lilies of the Ya d'Arno opened their pale throats ior his bridal blood." The strong nature of the horse, sub dued by the melancholy memories of that bitter night beside the flashing Arno, melted in fiery blast at the young girls passionate utterance, and tlie syropa-hetic animal clasped her moreclnsely to his loving breast. Gwendohn Trevylin had indeed suf fered. The apotheosis ot society, she had lived socially, and though perhaps stern mothers of tbe lower classes had pointed her out to milksop sons as something to avoid, she crushed above them in the chariot of ber insouciance, and looked upon tie world from out her calm, pale eyes as a plain upon which battles were to be fought, but not battles of arms. Bred in diploma cy, she left the fierce whirl of contend ings to those below her, while erf set up jobs on all whom the wrath ot her pus.-tonate being might tall. A FAIR SIXSER'S FA,ME. In the vulgar language of the com mon world, she may not have been good. But she was sociable, and did as soci ety demanded, notwithstanding that it might involve peccadilloes from which tbe vulgr.r mi ml shrinks. At Caprera there had' been murmuring of eminent ly social proceedings, and at Pisa too, wild narratives sprang from the mouths of men and mingled with the airs that blow swiftly down from the gray and tan of tbo Appenines. The church bo Us of Rome had whispered her fame! . in their dusty belfries, and Naples and Venice looked on her with curious eyes as she floated on the Vesuvian bay like a cloud in tbe spring sky, or swept tbe water street like the down of the dandelion. The flashing sunbeams ot many climes had wintered. in the fragrance of ber gilded hair, and the clouds of disappointed hopes lurked in the brows that shaded her lashes. "He will come, Toto," said she, dis engaging herself from the warm em brace ot her horse and crossing over to her Bengal tiger, that slept in another corner ot the apartment ; "and you my lovely Fidelia, my brave mistress of the stormy jungle, yoli know your part." The graceful tiger snarled pleasantly at her mistress and curved her -slaws. "Yes, yes," continued the girl, as 6he took down the mystic masses ot molten gold from the mirror, and with a quick turn ot her graceful arms, adjusted them to- her- head ; he will come and he will remember the night under the Italian stars-, when he let me wander among the juirple lillies by the Arno, waiting in wretchedness for lh soft tones- of his satin voice. And be will face clouds darker than the moantain storm he braved - try the U'-'ler,' though the warning breeze Mow soft and fragrant, and tlie lying; bat wet lips down by the Florentine water side." Tlie drawling, negligent nni aiista. cratic ftep ot a young man wlio ap proached the door did not distnrb the listless expression of the enraaed bea'i ty, and as he entered phe motionetl him to a seat- "And 'nave you come, Bertie?" she inquired hiding the spasmodic flash of tbe old love-light that, tor a moment, shrouded her eyes. "I liavp nome. Gwendolin." he re- sponded. Kissing lier impassive l.aiul ! m - . I fill "HOW'S imngs : "WAITING FK S1VKET REVENUE. "Indifferently, nittie," she answered with a mile that momentarily cloaked j her fixed design. I have waited for ti(J atmo(iu,ere ca,llKlt he ufcen up, di you.

The young girl arose and stood before him. From her shoulders draped the ghostly mantles of centuries ot brave ancestors. In her eyes lurked the rage of catacombs full of men who had died without winking. , "Listen, Bertie," she said in a voice ot suppressed passion ; "you have de- ceived me ; you make engagements with me hundreds of miles apart and fail to come. Bertie, do you love me?" The yout g man hesitated .

Up from the jasmine and heliotrope swept the summer perfume, bringing to her, per-'.,. r . haps, some of the recollections of the valley of the Decameron when the red j Iillie8 blushed even a deeper cardinal as i j .s , . . i shft wandered amonrr them hnnrr'nor to her, perhaps, si nie faint remembrance t.3 t : .i i i t tut? i-Vii j.iini n Kftfy ia-ui j pitifully into hers one dark Venitian j night while she waited in a window ! looking for the footsleps that made no marks upon the marble quay ; bringing i to her, it may be, a reminiscence of the shadows that floated to her across the ! bay ot Naples, as its waters kissed her teet and murmured consolation to her ! ears, tired of listening for the coming of him she loyed. Toto slept in his stall. The tiger lay upon the Persian ru, too brave to express the pain within ; for there had been a bad computation ot distances, and the horse had kicked Bertie half way through the heroine ot the junjfle; A Model Dlsclpllnnrlnii. Considerable hilarity has recently been excited in Austro-IIungarian mili tary cirelfes by an incident quaintly illustrating the ridgid strictness with which Magyar non-commissioned officers are wont to carry ont, t the very letter, the instructions contained in the Imperial Royal Military Code. A tew days ago a private soldier died in the barracks infirmary at Kaschau, and his body in due course was consigned to the grave with the customary military honors. It was observed, however, by a superior officer present at the cere mony of interment, that the party fol lowing the cofiTn marched into the cem etery with fixed bayonets, eontrary to the established military nsage in snch cases. As soon at the burial rites had been concluded, he sent for the sergeant commanding tho party and asked him, with some asperity, whether lie did not know that it was contrary to reg ulations for a funeral escort to march with Gxed bayonets. Standing stiffly at the salute, the conscientious sergeant replied:- "Yes, sir; I am quite aware ot that. But I beg respectfully to re port that the deceased, during his ill ness and at the time of his death, was under arrest.- It was therefore the du ty ot his escort to fix bayonets.' "Very well ; you may go, was the rejoinder; and the model disciplinarian retired with the proud consciousness that he had frramphftntly proved his case. KiiMt lu Wheal. We know from scientific authority that 05 to 98 per cen.i of all that goes to make up the mature wheat plant in derived tiom the atmosphere, and that those portions of the pfant are organic! or capable of being burned and evap orated into invisible gases.. We know also from the same authority that the 2 or 5 per .cent, remaining is derived from the earth, that it is inorganic or incapable ot being destroyed, tor when the plants are burned there remains in destructible ashes. But scientific au thority goes further, and show us that without the presence of those inorganic substance in the soil which the wheat and other plants JcmJ upon, the organic pllbsUnceil wilicb Uie ..lants deiive trom pant where both organic and inor ganic matter are ffSlllillg t,ere is, bar remiee.s . w.,,ere fcf, are present in suit - . , r tyrrttI.t)1 ,A 9ha , . f - f .

When we use much green ma nure on our wheat fields, the plants make a grat growth of blades and straw for the p;rain, and the crop under unavorabIe weather is pretty sure to blight, mildew or rust and tall down, j And the same reult follows if we use j an over dose ot nitrate of soda, or any ' j other plant food of a similar nature, j So also, in hot and wet seasons, if near j subject it is not fit ior us to say. or at the time of harvest there is much j "Miss J. knew it was me who knock thunder and lightning, the phenomena ed at the door, or how did she recog produces nitrogen in excess ot the wants ' nize me before I spoke ?

In reviewing our Texas exchanges ; in one ot them, the Dallas limes, it we are not mistaken, we fir.d the de tails of a case that certainly presents some of the most remarkable teatuies in the history of jurisprudence in this col,ntrJ- This "ed W.xc.atchie, dnr. inS the EI,is cmm D,",r,et Conrt- A colored ,na" bcen '"'cted for enter, inS a conspiracy to murder. He was brought to trial, the evidence was strong, and in spite ot the good fight made in his defense by hi attorney, he was convicted. A motion for a new trial was made, and" the Judge seeing that no error ot law had been made, and believing the evidence was suffi cient, promptly overruled the motion. When the prisoners were brought in to be sentenced, this negro was among them. When asked if he had anything to say why sentence should not be passed upon him, he said ho knew anything he might say would have no weight with the court, as all the forms of the law had been complied with, and he knew he must go to the penitentiary, but that he had something to say for the benefit of his colored friends, and with the permission ot the court he would make a few remarks. The court told him that he would listen. The negro started off slowly and de liberately, reviewing the testimony, showing the inconsistencies of witnesses statements, and vhefj carried away with the idea of the wrong done him he burst forth in a strain of eloquence seldom beard. When he sat down the Judge said : "Sam, I thought you guilty ; I dbn't believe sc now, and will set aside the judgment overruling your motion for a new trial, and give you another chance." So eloquently had the negro present ed his case that the County Attorney dismissed the case, and the negro walk ed out ot the court-room a free man . This ts the first case in Texas at least, where a roan brought up to be sentenc ed was ever turned loose. Every per son present says that the effort was the finest ever heard. The negro was un educated and a common field hand. A Hint and lis Result. Our readers shall have the benefit of a good story we once heard. Trav eling into town about dus-k, Parson K. had occasion to call at the mansion ot an esteemed parishioner, who had, among other worldly possessions, two or three fTde daughters. He had scarce knocked at tlie door when it was open ed by one ot these blooming maidens, who as quick as thought threw her arms around his i.eck, and before he had time to say "Oh, don't," pressed her warm delicate lips to his, and gave him as sweet a kiss as ever heart of swain deserved. In utter astonish, nient the worthy devine was endeavor ing to stammer out something, when the damsel exclaimed, "Oh, mercy, mercy! .Mr. K., is that you ? I thought as much as-cult be that it was my broth er Henry." "Pshaw ! thought the pnrson to himself, "you didn't think any sneli thing." lint taking her hand, lie said . , . . , Lto.,,. ro.,'t. .;.. ,fllf ... ..-;. ness : though you ought to be a little more careful." After this gentle reproof, he was ush- erea into the parlor by the inaiJen, who, as she came to the light, could not conceal the deep blush that glowed upon her cheek, while the bouquet that was pinned to her bosom shook like a flower garden in an earthquake. And wbMi he rose to depart it somehow fell to her lot to wait upon him at the door ; and it may be added that in the entry they held discourse together tor some niiwutes, on what possible that her brother would knock before entering ? She must be desper- aiely in pshaw ! Why, if she loves her brother at that rato how must she love her hii-band ? by the great squa.ih, t lipvur felt Btlj.h n 1-ic in mv life, " TllflA 1 1 HI". 1 . rt ( ( , i , 1 1 nl...wA ini.Mni 4 ' ill V ii 1 I rv I.

C, Donn Piatt, editor, though out-and-out democratic, says of tho recent atteniiit in the New York Sim and other newspaper- to slander Gen. Gar field : Gen. Garfield, personally considered, is singularly pure ami upright. He is one ot the few men in public life who can look his beautiful little wife and lovelj children in the face without shame. We say this advisedly, tor we have known Garfield intimately all his public life, and we can advise the mud machines called the partisan press that attempts at blackening Garfield's char acter will be sigt.al failure", and will be met by protests from such eminent dem ocrats as the Hons. Jeremiah IJIaek, Allen Thurmau, and Justice Field, who have already put themselves on record in his behalf. Garfield's purity is so thorough that itgiveshim a perilous confidence in men, atid has gotten him into trouble precisely as a confiding boy gets into scrapes. In that Credit Mobilier affair, tor example, we know, and have so testified, that at the very time it wa claimed ho was scheming to enrich himself through .Ames' rascal ity, he was "shinning about Washing ton striving to borrow 8300 to pay house rent," and so ignorant ot the commonest financial process that he did not know how to negotiate an or dinary note of hand, lie had not onlv lived in the open air, but has occupied positions where, like other loaders-, he could have winked himself into mil lions. He holds to day the honored position of being the only poor man among political leaders. It was under Gen. Hancock's ad. ministration at New Orleans, wi en that commander had made up his mind not to enforce the reconstruction laws, that "nigger killing" was introduced as a political method, and soon after it be came a favorite pastime. "The civil authority" that refused to punish such crimes was that authority to which Gen. Hancock insisted that the military should be kept strictly subordinate. The oppressed classes received no pro tection from Gen. Hancock during the whole period of his administration in the south ; and herein lies the secret ot his popularity with the dominant party there. Oregoniun In Rome the other day an ostrich managed to suffocate itself by pushing its neck through between two bars swallowing a bunch ot keys that had been dropped outside, and then' tryed to get its head back again. The result was that it was choked, and on its stomach being examined tor missing property, the nsual assortment ot stones nail, coins and beads was discovered, with, howeyer, the interesting addition ot a silver medal of the Pope and the cross of an Italian orcler. By whom or when these honorable decorations were "conferred" upon the sparrow-camel, no one knows ; but the ostrich, it seems, did its best to show its appreciation of the distinction accorded to if, and swalVwed both the medal and the or der. It had no- button-hole from which to display its honors, but at all events it has a coat to its stomach. liolcealo aa4 GROCERIES, FOREIGN & DOMESTIC FRUITS, JVtaVOY GROCERIES, CALirOElTIA CPwACHEP.S, CA1TDISS, HUTS, lu fact tlie I-irscst, Iiost Assorted and most Varied Sloc-U of -IE4CI-Il.:.S in the country.
