KATE MAYO'S RESOLVE
ST AMY BAKDOLPBi
'I don't beli in lote in a cot-
ture," said KaU Mayo, lookinar defl-
antljr round. , for one; mean to
maiTT nob I , -tt , . ':;.''! . '
Miss Mayo shook the tiny golden
ringlets uiat nang nice spirals or
sunshine orer her nrettr forehead.
while S mischievous sparkle came in
to her blue eyes; she rather seemed
to enjoy the consternation she had
created. ' ' 3'-:
"Vell.M Kate Mayo. "I mean it.
n ho wants to be a drudge, in an ill
ntung calico areas ana last year s
style of bonnet, last because some
idiotic young man asks yon to be bis
wife? Aly taste . is for tbread-laco
shawls and moire antiques, and bon
nets mat look as it tney bad floated
acioss the sea on a Parisian zephyr!
Moreover I have a fancy for brown
stone houses and chocolate-colored
coupes, and a box at the opera, and
a French maid. Oh, I , tell you,
girls, I mean to marry rich I"
ivate Mayo spoke as if fate were at
her own command, a if she were
crowned queen of her destiny. And
she was, in so far as wit and beauty
and certain royalty of self-possession
may constitute the sceptre of one's
own existence. , Tall and gracefully
formed as a Greek statute, her love
liness took you as it were by storm.
She was lair as the waxen leaf of a
white rose, with pure, straight fea
tures, cheeks just tinted with the
faint, delicate pink that comes and
goes like a fleeting shadow, and a
little ripe mouth that madeone think
of the crimson sugar hearts that little
children delight in. And Kate had
been sent up from the old Msyo farm
to see what a winter in New York
would do for her, in the way of a life
establishment ; and Kate had some
very decided ideas of her own upon
the all-important subject.
"My dear," said Aunt Dewey sol
emnly, "all this sounds very merce
nary!" I can't help it, aunt," was Kate's
rejoinder. "I am mercenary."
"At your age, Kate?"
"What difference does airs make,
I wonder?" said the beauty, with a
Ktulant shrug of . her shoulders.
a goin? in for diamonds and a
tour in Europe. Sentiment is very
well in a novel, but in real life it
don't work."
And Aunt Dewey's face of horror
only made Kate Mayo laugh.
Alias Mayo was decidedly a " suc
cess" in the brilliant circles of me
tropolitan society that winter. It
was not entirely her faultless beauty,
nor her quick readiness of ra partes,
nor yet the bewitching confidence
with which she seemed to take the
world's favor for granted, but mix
ture ' and m incline: of all three
something which could hardly be ex
pressed, save by the word "fascina
tion." But notwithstanding her tri
umphs, Kate Mayo had, as yet,
made no election in life.

"Katel Kate! there is such a thing
as going tnrougu , tne woods and
Sicking up s crooked stick: What
o you value yourself at, pray?''
"A hundred thousand dollars at
Least, . aunt, from that up to half a
million!" laughed Kate, as she put
the rose into the vase of flowers she
was arranging.
"Where wul you get sucn a price
as that?" ' '
"Not in society just now, to be
sure, aunt, but its representative Will
be here yet.
"W bo do you mean? .
"I mean Mr. Emmett."
Aunt Dewey sat down with unlif ted
hands and eyes.

"Yes, aunt."
"But he is in Europe." ?

"You have never seen him?
"I dare say I thai! see him." ,
"Kate, you are crazy!" .
"No, I am not, aunt; you yourself
will own it when you see me Mrs,

The audacity of ' the girl fairly be
wildered her sage relative; it was as
if a little French grisette had aspired
to share the august throne of. the
Napoleons! 1

, Things were at this interesting
juncture when, one delicious moon
light evening. Miss Mayo went up to
the Central Park to skate, and came
back under convoy of a tall, hand
some young man, who hod been in
troduced to her there.
"Did you say his name was SI
John?" ssked curious. Helen, when
the cavalwr $ervanle had gone. . "Oh,
Kate, how handsome he is I
' "Nothing of the kind," said Kate,
tartly; "only rather pleasant look
ing."; r.j .,, .r .
"But who is be. Kate?'V .
"Oh, I don't know; a clork in some
bank, I believe. ' .f
' "Poor fellow I" said Helen rcflect-
What do you say that for? asked
Kate, suddenly turning round upon
her cousin. , , .
"Because, Kate, if he is poor and
obscure, . and has come within the
magic circle of your fascinations "
".Nonsense r said Kate almost
angrily. "Do you suppose vry man
look at must of necessity fall in
love with me? I think you are &
goose, Helen Dewey." : , . o
Luttle Helen looked amazed; this
was rather an unexpected mood on
Kate's part.
As the bright winter days went by.
Kate changed more and more.
Sometimes she was strangely soft and
lovable; sometimes capricious, and
given to sudden gusts of tears, like
April showers, succeeded by brief
sunshine.
"Kate," said frs. Dowey, coming
one evening into the room where
whore
Kate sat, gazing out into the twilight,
"have you thought of your drejs to
morrow evening?
"To-morrow evening!
"Yes; st Mrs. Allaire's. Don't
Ku remember? Mr. minett is to
the there your rich husband."
' Aunt Dewey spoke almost jocosely;
she had come to look upon Kate's
cantle en Epaqn as an actual reality.
"Yes," sold Kate absently; "I re
member." -'.
He saw you at the opera lost
night, and asked who you were?" '
"Who didr
"Mr. Emmett."
Kate looked up with a momentary
interest.
"Did he? Thtn perhaps I will
wear my blue silk, with the Boman
pearls snd blue violets in my hair."
Ksts looked lovely as Venus oi old
in that same blue dress won tie
Roman pearls, and Mr. Emmett, a
stout, short man, with a very rudy
face and glossy blue eyes, evidently
appreciated it all.
"Ob, Kate r cried Helen gleefully,
as they were rolling homeward in
their carriage, "all the girls sre en
vying you. Mr. Emmett is certainly
in love with you."
He a a clumsy old clown, old
enough to be my grandfather!" said
the ungrateful Kate.
"But be s so rich, pleaded Helen.
"Yes," said Kate "he is rich."
And that was all was said.
"Kate," said Mrs. Dewey one
morning, coming in with a sort of
triumphal air, "I've cot a grand
piece of news for you V
"And I've got one for you, Aunlv,"
said Kate, looking tip with eyes that
were nnwontedly tear-wet.
"Mr. Emmett has called to see

paying1 his addresses formally to

"Katel"
"I'm in earnest, aunt. LawrciSO

don't care u he was a street sweep

But, Kate, I thought you were
so bent oa marrying rich."
"Ob, aunt, don t remind me of
thatl I have been a silly goose, but I
have learned my own folly." :
"And do you mean to say you will
reject Mr. Emmett, a man worth a
million of dollars at the very least,
in favor of this young St. John."
"Yes, Sunti , I love Mr. St. John."
And in the last words, spoken very
quietly, Aunt Dewey learned the
folly of further remonstrance. . Miss
Mayo, with an inconsistency which
is not usual in girls of eighteen, had
decided to set all her previous decla
rations totally at defiance. She had
laughed at Love all her days. . Love
was having bis revenge at last.
But Mr. Jummett was not to be
put off thus, He insisted on a per
sonal interview, not satisfied unless
he learned his fate from Miss Mayo s
own rose-bud lips. ,. , " . .
"So you won t have , me?'f he
bursquely. ; , '
said
"I n very much obliged to . you.
sir, said Kate, laitenngly. Vbut 1
would rather not.

"You are wrong, sir,'" said Kate
firing up. .."He has a noble nature
and a loyal soul." '
"All humbug!" quietly commented
Mr. Kmmett. f "However, do as you
like. J ve nothing; to say. Only
thought you wanted to marry rich!'
Kate colored scarlet-pthe bid folly
coming back: to taunt her. .
"We thall be rich, sir," Bhe said
softly" 'rich in our own love and
mutual confidence." ,
1 suppose, how," said the ruddy
face old gentleman, "you would not
believe me if I told you you were going
to be Mrs. Lawrence , Emmett after
all. - ' v.: .
r "No, sir; t should not, most cer-
tainly." 7
"It's the solemn truth, notwith
standing. Lawrence - Emmett wil
: be your husband 1" '''
Kate looked at Mr. Emmett was
he going crazy? y- .i '
"He is telling you the truth, Kate.
said a gentle voice behind her, and
she turned to feel her hand in the
clasp of Mr. St. John. "When you
are my wife, you will be the wife of
Lawrence St. John Emmett." '
'"And my daughter-in-law," said
the old gentleman gleefully, 'Kate,
Kate,' we ve been too much for you,
you little fortune-hunter. . . You've
promised to marry a bank clerk, just
uccause you ieu in love mm, ana
you'll , marry Mr.. Emmett the mU
Iionarie, after all f '
Yes, Kate Mayo had boen out
generaled. The stratagem by which
Lawrence Emmett bad won her dis
interested love had succeeded, snd
the little wayward, capricious bird
had folded its wings in the gilded
cage, in spite of fate I ; r
Kate kept her word, and Helen
Dewey was bride's-maid to Mrs.
Lawrence Emmett after all.
THE GREAT RADICAL SPLIT!
Synopsis of Eon. Charles Stunner's Great
Speech in the United States Senate, Mon
day, March 27th, on tho Ban Domingo
Question.
Sumner in his onenincr naracrrauh
deffinitely asserts that there is now in
evidence before the Senate that the
navy of tho United States, acting un
der, orders from Washington, bos
been engaged in measures -of vio
lence and belligerent intervention:
"Being war without authority of Con
gress, a ne wnoie business, be adds,
is aggravated, when it is considered
that the declared object of this vio
lence is the acquisition of a foreign
territory being half an island on the
Carribean Sea; and still further that
this evidence has been employed first
to prop snd maintain a weak ruler,
himself a usurper, upholding him in
power that he night sell his country.
and secondly, it Las been employed
to menace the black republic of
Hayti. Such a caso, Sumner con
tinues, is too grave for silence. For
the sake of the navy, the administra
tion and republican institutions, and
for the sake of the Republican party,
which cannot afford to become re
sponsible for such conduct, the caw
must not then pass without inquiry.
But beyond all these considerations
there is a commanding rule of jus
tice. The question is not whether
the scquisition of San Domingo is de
sirable, but whether we are justified
in the means employed to accomplish
this acquisition, and evidence now
before us shows but too clearly that
moans have been employed which
cannot be justified. He' had sup
posed that the proceedings regarding
the treaty' for the annexation was
blameless until, while pending before
the Secretary of State Drought him a
number of dispatches, among which
was one from oor Consul Agent there,
from which it distinctly appears that
Baez, while engaged in selling his
country, was maintained in power by
the navy of the United States.
Other evidence has been accumu
lated to show that we were engaged
in forcing upon a weak people the
sacrafice of their country. The State
Department also contained a record
disgraceful, intolerable and deplora
ble. ,
Unless the reports of the Slate and
Navy Department are discredited, it
is obvious 'beyond doubt that our
government has seized the war pow
ers, carefully guarded by the Consti
tution, and without the authority of
Jongressj has employed them to
ram??6 on the equal rights ff two
nations with Ours. a
The Senator then characterizes
Baez and Grant as co-partners in this
melancholy affair, and carefully re
views tho history of the former and
his unscrupulous usurpation; be re
cited tne origin of the scheme of an
nexing half of the island, which is
generally known. Quoting the ex
clamation of the Duke of Wellington:
'There can, be no such thing, my
Lords, as a little war." The Senator
asserted that there may be a war
without a battle, and so far our navy
has, thus far, conquered without a
shot, but its presence in Hayti and
Domingo was war. He then minute
ly reviews the testimony to this effect,
furnished by the state and navy de
partments; from which it appears
that the very agent who signed the
treaties officially repotted that the
usurper was officially maintained in
power by our guns. But interven
tion in Dominica was only one part
of the story, even according to the
reluctant confession of the navy de
partment. In the effort to secure the
much coveted territory, our govern
ment, not content with maintaining
the usurper Baez in power, and oc
cupying the harbors of Dominica with
war ships of the United States, sent
other war ships, being none other
than our powerful monitor, Dictator,
with the frigate Severne as a consort,
and with other monitors in their
train, to menace the black republic of
Hayti with an act of war. : An Amer
ican Admiral was found to do thiaJ
thing.' and an American : Minister,
himself of African blood, was found
to aid the Admiral. The dispatch of
the Secretary of ' State, instituting
this act of war, is not communicated
to the Senate, but we are sufficiently
enlightened by that of Bassett, our
Ti. L T L t-1 ' 1

and indefensible. ; : r
' Sumner proceeds to show that this
conduct is a gross tioibuuu oi me in
ternational law and ths constitution
of the United States ; that every em
ployment of these war powers in pur
suance of this assumption was usurp
ation; and that the assumption in the
San Domingo treaty is exceptional
and abnormal, being absolutely with
out precedent. ' But,' continues Sum
ner, even admitting some infinitesimal
semblance of an excuse or apology
during the pendency of the treaty,
all of which 1 insist is absurd, beyond
question, though not impossible in a
quarter ? unused , to - constitutional
questions,., and heeding them little,
and conceding that the asiiumsit as
sorted in the treaty by the secretary
of state had deceived tho President
into the idea that he possessed - a
kingly prerogative,' declaring war at
his mere motion, aad wishing to deal
gently even with an undoubted usur
pation of a' kingly prerogative sa long
as the Secretary of State and the Pres
ident supplied the formula for usur
pation; and you will: bear witness
that I have done nothing but . state
the case. It. is hard to bold back
when the same usurpation is openly
prolonged . after the Senate has re
jected the treaty on which the exer
cise of kingly prerogati ve was founded
and when the ossumsit do vised br
the Secretary of State had passed
into the list of things lost on earth.
Here there is no remote infinitesimal
semblance of excuse' or apology
nothing, absolutely nothing. The
usurpation pivots on nonentity, al
ways excepting the kingly will of the
President, which, constitutionally, is
a nonentity. Tho great artist of Bal
ogrs, in a much . admired statue,
sculptured Mercury as standing on a
pun of air. Abe President has not
even a puff of ait to stand on.
Sumner concluded: In the evi
dence adduced, I have confined my
self carefully to public documents.
On this unanswerable and accumu
lative testimony where each part con
firms the rest, and the whole has bar-
mony and truth, I present this trans
gression, and here it is not l speak,
but testimony. Thus stands the case:
International law has-been violated
in two of its commanding rules one
securing the equality of nations, and
.1 .11 fir i l
iue omer proviuuig against Belliger
ent intervention while adislinct and
fundamental prineir le of the consti
tution which deprives the President
of the kingly prerogative, is disre
garded, and this very kingly prerog
ative is asserted, by the President,
This is the simpleststatement. Look
ing still further at the facts, we see
that all this disobedience has for its
object the acquisition of an outlying
tropical island with a large promise
of wealth, and in carrying out this
scheme, our government has forcibly
maintained a usurper in power that
he might sell his country, and has
dealt a blow at the independence of
the black republic of Hayti, which
being a wrong to that republic was
sn insult to the African race, and all
this has been done by prerogative
alone without authority of Congress.
If such a transaction, many headed
in wrong, can escape icdgment, it is
difficult to see what securities re
main; what other sacred rules of in
ternational law may not be violated;
what other foreign nations may not
bo struck at; what other belligerent
menace may not be hurled; what
other kingly prerogative may not
be seized. Never before has
there been such Presidential in
tervention in the Senate as we have
been compelled to witness.' The
President's visits to the Capitol, with
appeals to Senators, have been fol
lowed by assemblies at the executive
mansion, also with appeals to Sena
tors, and who can measure the pres
sure of all kinds, by himself, or
agents, especially through the ap
pointing power, and all to secure the
consummation of this scheme. Thus
do we discern in the acts of the Pres
ident, whether on the coasts of San
Domingo or here at Washington, the
same determination,' with the same
disregard of the great principles, as
also the same recklessness toward the
people of Hayti, who have never in
jured the United States. In view of
- ... .a . ataaat
those things, the ttrst subject oi in
quiry is not of th . soil, cli
mate, : productiveness, : and pos
sibilities of wealth, but the abnormal
proceedings of our own country.' Be
fore condensing the treaty or any
question of acquisition, we must at
least put ourselves right as a nation,
nor do 1 see how this can be done
without retracing our steps and con
senting to act in subordination to the
m . a .W 11
international law and tne consuiu
tion of the United States. There
fore, on the question of acquisition I
will say nothing to-day, only alluding
to some questions involved in tne
question whether we will assume the
oioody nazaros involved in tms ous-
ness as it has been pursued, with al
ternative expenditures for war ships
and troops, causing the most painful
anxieties wnue we lanu ox xuussaiat
L'Overture listens to the constant
, . , i rn , i
whispers of independence. '
And there is still that-other question
of debts and obligations, acknowledged
and unacknowled, with an Immense
claim by Hayti, and an unsettled boun
dary, wnicn i nave aireaay cauea
blood law-suit. These annexations
state only in the meanwhile to my
mind. There is something better than
belligerent intervention and acts of war
Which menace an absorption of an un
told cost of treasure. It is a sincere and
humane effort on our part in the spirit
of peace to reconcile Hayti and Do
minica and establish ' tranquility
throughout the island. Let this be at
tempted and our republic will become
an example worthy of its name and the
civilization which It represents, while
the republican institutions hare new
glory. The blessings of all good men
would attend such an efiort, nor would
the smile of heaven be . wanting, and
may we not justly expect of the Presl
dent to unite in such a measure of peace
and good will. He that ruleth his spirit
is greater than he that taketh a city.
And so the President Who in ruling his
spirit in subjection to humane princl
oles of international law and const! tu
tion; his country will be greater than
If he had taken all the islands of the
sea.' : . . .

James A. Weston is to . be our next

crats and true patriots will succeed

ocracy of pi ew Hampshire rejoice as
they do to-day, and thousands of pa
triotic men who have heretofore been
their opponents join them in their
rejoicing..-.: rf,i f,: ,r:.
Ours is not a mere - party . triumph
in the narrow sense of the word- It
is a triumph of honesty over corrup
tion, of justice over oppression; of
State Rights and the free ballot over
Federal dictation and Presidential
usurpation. , It is a blow struck for
the supremacy of the Constitution
and for the restoration of the real
Union. It is a signal rebuke of the
conduct , of the Federal , Admin
istration and the , late Radical
ngress. It is an emphatic pro
test against the reign of extravi
gance, unjust taxation, class legisla
tion and military; intimidation. ; It
is a glorious victory won by the peo
ple over monopoly, , aristocracy and
privilege. It will send a thrill of
joy to the hearts of the people all
over this broad land.
While we cannot say that we fully
expected such a glorious result, we
felt all through the campaign that it
was in the power of the Democracy to
elect their candidate for Governor,
and one or two of their Congressional
nominees, and that all that was needed
on their part was a resolute deter
mination to' do their duty. Thank
Heaven, they have done their whole
duty and done it .' nobly, . All honor
to the New Hampshire Democracy.
All honor, too, to . the hundreds of
honest Republicans in the Second
Congressional District who ' did not
hesitate. to rebuke corruption in their
own party openly and boldly. , 1-
That we nave elected a Democrat
ic Governor, a Democratic Railroad
Commissioner, three Democratic Con
gressman, two Democratic Council
lors to one last year, five Senators to
one hist year, and cut down the Rad
ical majority in the House at least
two-thirds is glory enough, for one
day, and one year. So much we
have done, and next year we will fin-'
ish the work, and give the five elec
toral votes of New Hampshire to the
Democratic nominee for the Presi
dency by five thousand majority.
IXFLCESCE OF HEWS PAPERS.
The Uoa'cn Traveler states that a
school teacher,, who had enjoyed the
benefits of a long practice of ' his pro
fession, and bad watched closely the in
fluence, of newspapers upon the minds
of a family of children, gives as a re
sult of his observations, that, without
exception, those scholars of both sexes,
and ail ages, who bave access to news'
papers at home, when compared with
those who have not, are:
- .... . -
1. .Better readers, excelling id pro
nunciation, and consequently read more
understandiogly. ;
2. They are better spellers, and de
fine words with ease and accuracy.
3. They obtain a partial ' knowledge
in geography in almost half the time
it requires others, as the newspaper has
made them familiar with the location of
important plaeea and nations, their gov
erameots and doings. 7 .,
4; They are better grammarians, for
having become familiar with every vari
etv of style in tbe newspaper, from tne
common-place advertisements ts tho fin
ihhed and classical oration of tbe states
man, they more readily comprehend the
meaning of the text, and consequently
analyze its construction with aceoraey
5. They write better compositions
using better language, containing more
thoughts, and still more clearly express
ed. ' V
From these simple facts three impor
tant things can be deduced: ' T ; '
1. The xsanonsibilitv of the nress
supplying literature which shall be un
derstandingly expressed;: v
: 2. The absolute necessity of persona
supervision of a child's readine by his
