THE JUDGE'S DAUGHTER.
My Btory seems branded into my
memory in letters of fire. It is no
story conjured np ly the imagination,
nor yet one that nees glossing over
hy a fertile pen. All its incidents are
real none cxaircerated.
Jot many years ago a haughty old
man, a judge of incorruptible morals, I
died, leaving belaud Lira two chil
dren. After his death it was found that he
had not been so wealthy as many had
imagined, yet rich enough to leave
each daughter a moderate compe
tence. To the eldest sister descended the
homestead and a sufficient income to
keep Hp some of their forme? style;
(he younger, twenty thousand dolhirs,
invested in nn old and trnMy bank.
From infancy Estelle, the eldest,
had been acquainted with a poor but
prond spirited boy. She had watched
his ineffectual struggles for an educa
tion such as he desired, admiring his
unconquerable ambition, and as he
neared manhood he became her most
ardent lover.
But ihe old judge demurred ! No
daughter of his should encourage the
attention of a penniless youth their
intimancy must cease.
Obedient as a child, she listened to
her father's commands, and obeyed
them implicitly. ,
He surrounded heravith gay com
pany; be did every thing that wealth
or taste could suggest to win her
away from her boy lover. But
though she uttered no complaint, he
knew that she did not forget.
At last he died. He did not bind
her with any promises, l'crhaps in
death his eyes discovered that it needs
more thau wealth to bring happiness.
After her breaveinent. lJupcrt
Kingsland came to her again.
"Estelle, my love,'- lie said, passion
ately, it may seem wrong to you for
me to come to you, now he is gone,
when I know how much he was op
posed to me; but, dai l.ng, you are in
trouble, and I must comfort yon I"
She did not chide him. She be
lieved her father must have relented,
or else he would have spoken and for
bidden her to receive h;m alter his
death. She wept and sobbed on his
bosom like a child.
"Rupert," she returned, "if you had
forsaken me now, I should indeed be
desolate."
'And to leave you ever will kill
me," he ejaculated, impetuously.?
"Curse mv fortune thai I must for-
ever be debarred from you !"
"Don't speak so fiercely, llupcrt,"
she pleaded. "No one stands be
tween us now."
"Yes, poverty stands between us as it
ever did," he replied. "Never will 1
take advantage of his decease to
step unworthily where he forbade me.
If I ever could obtain my wish of be
coming a great and famous physician,
Estelle, then would I be proud to
come to you."
'Where would you go to become a
doctor?" she queried.
"I would study in England, France
and Germany," was his eager response.
"To be a common-place physician
would not satisfy me. I must be the
equal of the most eminent.''
For a moment she was silent.
"Ilupert," she observed, presently,
"the way is open for you at last. Aly
money is left untouched. In no way
would its use give me so much joy as
to ktoow that it was aiding yon to ob
tain your life's desire. You shall go
to England, France and Germany.
(July return to me as pure as jou
leave me."
For a time he opposed such a sug
gestion. He could not accept her
money. But in proportion to his un
willingness to receive, became her
eagerness to bestow.
At last he consented. lie would
only consider it a loan, to be repaid at
some future day. He would send to
her as a banker, for what he required,
and remain away some lour or five
years.
Her sister was much opposed to it
when informed of what Estelle pro
posed to do.
"You are ! exceedingly unwise,
Estelle, 6he said angrily, "to draw
your capital to give to him. I doubt
his goodness 1 doubt his ever return
ing." Estelle was wounded but not dis
couraged. She made him a present
of a very handsome . gold watch and
chain, and money enough to defray all
expenses incidental to his journey and
first admittance to a medical school.
Then he was to write to her, and the
would send him more.
His two years were spent in Eng
land, and he received money from her
every quarter, lie lived in style,
even in luxury; surrounded himself
with everything ho could wish for;
and though she thought lie must be
extravagant in his habits, she made no
inquiries, no comments.
Her sister married and went to
California, and Estelle was left to
watch and wait the still remaining
three years of his absence.
He went ta Germany. He remain
ed two years longer. The last year
of his proposed absence, he wrote
to Estelle thus: ,
"JVly love, I do not know how to
say what I wish. My five years have
nearly expired. I believe I am Bear
ing the goal, which, save for the good
ness of your true and noble heart, I
never should have hoped to attain,
but yet I am not satisfied. I wish to
see you so much, my poor, lone bird
ling, that I am ready to drop every
thing, give up every future hope of
this world and the next, to fly to you.
But I restrain myself. I wish to be
entirely woithy of you and all you
have done for me when I do return.
Ub, it 1 could remain here for two'i
years longer I might accomplish-much
therein.!" ,

There is a passage in holy writ
which says: "There is no fear in love,
but perfect love castelh out fear, be
cause fear hath torment. Me that fear
cth is tu t made perfect in earthly
loe." She knew no fear! , It would
be hard for him to be away two years
longer, but if he desired it, she s.iouid
not comjiiam.
She look np
her
pen
and thus
wrote:
"Kupertj God alone knows how
much 1 long for you each day, but if
it is your wish to remain awny two
years more, do not let me tlete'" you.
Vott know father, did not leave mu as
well provided for as was anticipated,
ami now all is gone but the home
stead. If you think the two year
ueeessary, 1 will mortgage it."
lie did not think two years requi
site, but he wrote so togehiugly n,hout
her sacrifice that it seemed almost as
if he was conferring a favor on her by
taking it, than her on him by giving.
It was mortgaged. Every dollar
she realized was sent to him. Her
own servant she had dispensed will)
all but, one was discharged. Then
she stood alone. What was she to
doT
Sho could not appeal to her sister;
she remembered the taunts thai her
sister had extended her.
She went out and procured a situa
tion as governess in a wealthy lamdy,
one of her old Irieuds. Public indig
nation became intense. Jud e Alher-
ton's daughter a governess I l'eople
blamed her for her folly, but she
smiled serenely. Her reward was
yet to come. She believed Kuperi's
tame would compensate her for all !
Two years passed away, ami even
she could not deny to herself that she
had failed greatly during that time.
Then a letter came to her; it said:
"My patient doe, I am coiiiiifg at
last. Be ready for me in May.
Write me one more letter."
Accompanying it was a paper con
taining a notice of h.in and Ins great
medical skill. American papers con
gratulated themselves upon having
such a rare acquisition to the medical
fraternity She read aud wept tears
ofjoy.
He was coming at last!
"You must not be surprised," she
said, in her responsive epistle, "to
find me much changed. 1 think my
health has laded during the pasl two
years quiie rapidly."
She Knew the name of the ship in
winch he was to sad, ami watched the
slow, seemingly cndlesk days go by.
She wa- I'm I of peace and joy; he
in coming she as content. Those
t ha L knew lu-r said that her lace wore
the expression of an angel lie that
as it might her heart wore the hap
piness ol one!
She heard wjien the steamship ar
rived. They only lived twenty miles
ilis::uit sure he would come tne next
day. But the next day came, and the
next, ami the next, and he came not.
."he saw his name among the arri
vals; was1 he sick ? She was templed
lo go down and see, when a gentle
man called upon her.
"I Lae wen your friend. Doctor
Kingsland, in i he city," he said. " lie
told me lo itilorm you that he had
been detained, and would soon be up."
The announcement took one pang
from heart only lo add another, lie
was well she thanked God for that,
but could she have been within twen
ty miles of h.m for a week, without
sending him some message.
Thift wa all the reproach she al
lowed her gentle heart lo make, wli.le
she formed a thousand excuses for his
cruel ueglect.
Two weeks went past, and the num
bered three. Then a note came to hich
commenced as follows :
".My dear frieinL, I feel as if I can
say lo you, through a noie, that which
I wish lo say, belter than face to face.
Esulle, you nave been my best friend,
my good Samaritan, and I ani sure

You remember her. A young lady

She read no more. Some one in
the adjoining room heard a heavy
fall, ami rushed in. They found her
on the 'door, apparently dead. They
picked her up, aud sent for a physi
cian. "A 6evere shock," was his conclu
sion. "She is dying of the heart dis
ease.' -
She became sensible again, but her
heart was broken. Several years of
waiting, and then the false-hearted,
lover had left her utter squandering
her property, to die in misery 1
Even, iheu she uttered no com
plaints. She had all his letters, little
keepsakes, and every trifle pertaining
lo him brought to her. She bound
them up and addressed them to him.
"After I arn gone send them to
him." she said.
A week later they 'aid ber away,
and fulfilled her request. ,
He began to practice early, and bis
success w as wonderful, despite the
notoriety, which his falseness had
brought upon him.
On the first day after he'eturned

UOW OTIIEItM LOOK AT. THIS PUIt
, CENT A U IS.
The next morning after the election
in Maine, the Now York Tribune,
which is always so reliable in its esti
mates, had the following: "V esti
mate the change on the vole of Maine,
wrought by the Liberal Republican
movement, at about five per cent.
We may be certain that in no other
jiart of the Union will the change be
less; in few so small. Well, the live
per cent, on the last presidential vote
sh its the States of Pennsylvania, In
diana, Connecticut, California ami
Alahunia, from the Grant column to
its opposite. Add these to the States
already Democratic, and we have l'!
out of the 134 electoral votes neces
sary to a choice. But Missouri is
clearly ours, and her fifteen votes
leave but fourteen more to make up,
niter the Grant route in October, out
of New Hampshire, Rhode Island,
Arkansas, North Carolina. Ohio, Illi
nois, aud others scarcely less probably
ours. '
The lesson, then, of the Maine elic
lion is plain: It reveals a percentage
of change, which, wilh proper organi
zation and work, give in Pennsyltania
and Indiana in October.1 After these,
ihe battle wins itself."
Thu next day after the above ap
peared, and when the result was more
accurately aseeri. -lined, the New York
TfibuM goes on lo say farther about
the percentage :
"It is possible that the majority
may rise lo a hundred or two above
1U.UD0. It can hardly fall many hun
dreds below. The reduction from
the majority in ISU8 may therefore be
reckoned ns about '.i.jlHt. Wo hold
up the result in Maine for inspiration
and assurance, as we next turn with
contideticc, now well nigh absolute, to
Pennsylvania, Ohio and Iml.aua.
Just consider the facts. We have
gamed about (bur ami a Half per cent,
of the entire Republican vote iu
Maine. In the great central Slates
all politicians know thai our gains are
sure to be far greater, but couui them
at only the same precise percentage.
The Pennsylvania election in October,
lbtiii, was carried for the Grant Slate
ticket by D.b77 tnaji-rity. A change
of 5,000 votes would have dt-feaied
Ilurtiaui'i, then running for Auditor
General. Fire thousand votes ate
hardly one and a half per cent, ot "JUl,--i
1 1 i.epiiblicau vote tal at that
time. A change ot less thau one per
cent, would hate defeated Governor
Geary iu ll). his majority being on
ly 4,i'M. In other words, w.lli less
tnati one-lh'rd the change in lVimsyl
vauia which Monday's election shows
iu Maine, we shall sweep tUe Key
ttone State. Who doubts ih it the
change, will be greater instead of less'r
The Indiana election in October,
lGS. was carried by the Republicans
by less than I,UU0 majority for Gov
ernor Baker. A change of one-third
of one per cent, would have wiped
out tins majority. In 1H10 the Dem
ocrats carried the Slate by ma
jority. In New York, the last im
portant ejection carried by the Re
publicans was in lt'Uli, when Govern
or Feiuon was elected by 13.7.;U ma
jority over llollin.ui. . A change of
less than two per cent, of the ltG,lU.j
vote cast for Felitoil would have
given the Stale to Hotl'man. We do
not pursue the examination in detail.
The same percentage w ill give us Al
abama, California, and Connecticut,
ami these added tu the solid Demo
cratic column, carry us ir.uiuphautly
through. Edict al Republicans, let
Maine bo your inspiration. She
shows that success is within your

Boutwell declared that it. was suffi

An Outraged Parent Dan For.
Not a thousand miles from Broad
way ami Third street' there lives a
gentleman, with his wife and two
daughters. Several years ago a young
gentleman of our city became partic
ularly attentive to one of the young
ladies, much to the annoyance and
dislike of her parents, who used all
their persuasion with their child to
slop, if jmssible, any further attach
ment, i'his. us is the case in nearly
every instance, only united them the
closer. Finally the objection of the
mother was openly spoken to the
young mail, to which he seemed very
readily lo acquiesce, and his deport
ment toward her was so gentlemanly
that she fell sorry for her rash asser
tions. Still, however, she could not
see her Mary Ann fill any other
sphere nor form any other ounce! ion
I linn that f he hud planned for her.
The young couple had then to resort
to clandestine meetings. Thus tvo
years passed, ami the intimacy grew
so bold that it was noticed by several
friends of the family, and it soon
reached ihe ears ot the old gentleman.
About a week ago Id called his
daughter to him. and learning from
her the state of afl'a.rs, he immediate
ly sought the young man at his place
of business, and calling him aside told
In in emphatically that he had trifled
with his daughter's honor and grossly
disgraced both her and his family. He
then demanded that the young man
should marry his dan-Jfliicr or sutler
the just punishment of an enraged pa
rent. This did not suit the second
party, and being somewhat averse lo
iieing firced. he coldly told the fath
er that he might be coaxed, but to be
driven was against his nature. This
surprised the old man. fr he had
thought the young man void of any
great courage, but seeing such was
not the case, he spoke im.re mildly,
and iu a friendly but firm manner pro
posed to deed to the irii'l a fine house
and lot, and give the young man
S-j.O , and if he proved worthy of
the trust lo advance him in business.
"Well," said the incorrigible young
man, "gie me the papers to that ci
ted iu my own bauds, and I will agree
to any proposition you make."
The old man said it should be done
the coming day, and the young man
promised to gel his license and be
married the same day il the old man
insisted. 1 he day came, and with it
the two met. Alter taking seals, the
father ban led the deed and money to
a third party, to be de!ierd to the
yomg man when he fulfil led his prom
ise. The young man, to the cousterna
lion o all, pulled front his pocket a
certificate of marriage with the old
nan's daughter six mouths preiou.
A tableau followed, anil the old man,
accompanied by his son-in-law, repair
ed to his house, where said young
gentleman is now installed in a moat
comfortable manm.
CUIMTLV fcC ICMi AT A O ALLOW.
On Thursday iu rning, June 4th,
within the precincts of I ho jail, thu
ia-t drc.td sentence of the law was
carried out upon the person of Johu
Conn, who wus at the last assue
convicted and condemned to dea'h
for the murder of an elderly woman
named Aveline Little, mar Wyu
deyer, in March last.
Precisely at nine o'clock, the
w e ched crimina', attended by the
Kev. Mr. McAucliffe .was led forth
from bis cell, aud quietly submitted
himself to the ban s of the two
executioners, who at once proceeded
to pinion him. The prisoner tas
taken to the foot of the gallows, and
ttrtceiided the stairs without exhibit
ing uuv agitation. He raised his
hands twice us if iu supplication; aud
upon the cap being thrown over his
head aud tn-d the bolt was drawn.
A scene now occurred that will never
be forgotten by those who witnessed
it. When the body passed through
the drop the spectators of course
expected to seo it swing underneath
when the extent of tho ropo was
reached; but what was their horror
to see the trunk completely severed

Death, of course, was iustuutuueous.
It is impossible to describe the seu
satiou which this shocking spectacle
produced. Every one present stood
as if he were rooted to the spot, aud
it was some time before most of the
onlookt.rs could realize what had
actually occurred. Tue blood rati

suspended above aud, upon ap
proaching the edge of the pit, the
upper portion of the body was seen
to partially raise itself iu convulsive
shudderings two or three times be
fore it ceased to move, the blood
pouring in streams from the neck.
The effect of the scene was sickeniflg
in the extreme, but as soou as possible
the trunk and bead . were put in a
coffin aud removed. The cause of
tli6 terrible catastrophe was the want
of a y allowance on the part of the
executioners for the age and : at

though it might , be merciful as a
rapid and painless mode of taking
life, the result was certainly most

IT 18 QUITE, TRUE,
as the Granules tell us, that Grant
has done' several things that Greeley
never did, and never could have done.
These shortcoming and inabilities ex
tend quite beyond the sphere of bat
tles and sieges to which I lie Granules
wish to restrict them. Greeley never
won a battle, nor concluded a siege,
nor crushed the egg-shell of-a Con
federacy, (after the meat had ' been
sucked out by other bps), nor, receiv
ed stocks, bonds ;,and houses, nor
plucked the Government geese to
feather the nests of his reialives, nor
interpreted the Constitution on a
drum-head, nor made laws odious by
enforcing them odiously.
GREELEY NEVER FOCOOT .
it out all Summer (by the flank) , on
one line, uor starved thirty thousand
men to keep the enemy from being
reinforced, nor let ns have peace in
Yorkville jail and the Allmny peni
tentiary. Greeley never was iu ihe
army at all, and consequently could
not have had to resign on account of
an unfortunate contusion of ideas in
regard to a iness-iabb soup-tureen. 'J
We are quite sure that Greeley did
not capture Vicksburg. and conse
quently he could not have celebrated
the victor' by descending the sta.rs
of the St. Charles at New Orleans
head foremost, and doing kutuus with
his forehead upon each individual
step. Greeley is confessedly a bump
tious fellow, but he never decorated
his sinciput with bumps like that.

was never even charged with needing

JUS EVENING S1EANDEP.INGS, ,
Greeley has traveled a good deal, but
was never dumped into n baggage-car
like shot rubbish. He has taken part
in a good deal of junketing aud been
conspicuous at a good many banquets,
but has always kept his legs under the
mahogany, and never crmiitcd the
tegs of the m thogauy to stand alove
his neck and shoulders. It has been
the regret of Mr. Greeley's lile neter
to have gone fishing; wheu he doe
net time lo ', we do not th.uk he
will go off after trout to Pennsylvania,
while his confederates and relatives
lay their nets in Wall street for a
gold tish haul. Mr. Greeley has never
owued (
A BLOOpED TROTTER,
nor a thorough-bred IhiII pup; he has
never ridden behind Dexter, nor pat
ronized the late Christopher Burns;
but, in compensation for these tlifi
cieutcxperieiiees.it is possible that
he may ili.nk a Republic is better led
than driven, and may make some, dis

HOW A LAME BOY WOltKEU ItlS WAT
VP TU LADDElt Of FAMC
Not far from sixty years ago, a
young lad, leaning upon a crutch,
presented hyuself at the office of a
ieudiiifr hardware merchant in the
city of Albany, New York, un appli
cant r.,r a situation as juuior cleik.
Ou the previous day, one of the most
valued customers of the merchant, a
tiu and sheet-iron worker, doing
business iu the neighboring (then)
village of Troy, bud recommended
the poor bid to the luercUtut for the
situation, though be said nothing
about bis infirmity; aud there was
the boy, with a beut aud snffeued
knee, with a crutch under bis right
arm, anxiously u waiting an encour
aging word or look frnu the doubt
ing merchuut, who, but for bis un
willingness to disoblige so valued a
customer, would at once bave dis
missed the applicant. "Cuu you
ruu up and down that steep ladder,
do you think? ' eaid the merchant .
"I can do anything I set about,' said
the lud; aud he wetit to work. With
iudftmitable energy, perseverance,
and unflagging industry, in u few
years the poor lame boy rose to the
head of the employes of the ewtab
lishment, and, soon after attaining
bis majority, bis employer admitted
him to purtuership. The merchant
was Johu Speucer; the lud. Era stun

until the death of tho former, these

AVILSOly-GREELEY.
,The Evening Pud persists in its as
sertion that Henry Wilson and Hor
ace Greeley have been iu substantia!
accord on the "Know nothing" ques
tion that their difference 'was tine
of degree rather thau of kind.' The
truth is quite otherwise, They dif
fered as follows: j
1. Henrys Wilson, after applying
unsuccessfully for admission to the
Know, nothiug ' lodge :iu bis town
(Natick), triedftgaiu in Boston aud
gained admission. . Mr. Greeley, on
the other hand, never in his life en
tered, nor sought to enter, a:,'Kn'ow
nothing lodge, council, or conventicle
of any kind. . . , .. ,
2. Henry. Wilson, being himself
the Republican candidate forgov, nor
m lb;i4, himself voted and induced
others to. vote for Henry J.Gardiner,
the "Know nothin" candidate. Mr.
Greeley, On the coutrary, voted that
year and every year for the' Republi
can as against the rival ' "American'
or "Know nothing" candidates.
We have no wish to magnify this
difference, preferring to fishtto-dav's
battle on to-day's issues. It .is the
untruth of the'Pos? and ' the'' Ttmex,
rather than the crooked wwys of
Henry Wilson, that we now especial
ly condemn. N. Y. Tribuiie. , , .

' THE KE.VATOKIAL KtiSCTIOX. '
On Saturday) at .twej ye o'clock,

first ballot, elected J. II. Mitchell U.
B. Senator for a: full term, ' in-1 he
place of Hon. IL ,W, Corbett whose
term, will expire on , the fourth , of
March next. This result was brought
about 'by the withdrawal of Mr
Coi belt front the content at .the last
moment, an event which was as un
suspected by bis friends-a, bis op
ponents, The pretence that ..bis
friends were driven from him by the
accession of Democratic strengt h is
simply absurd; since, for fwd week-,
they bad kept out of caucus with no
earthly hope of success, except the
assistance of that party. The reason
Of the defection was unquestionably
a weightier one A deep- sense .jf
mortification v pervaded those who
had earnestly striven to secure a rep
re entutive in the Senate devoted to
the interests of the State, instead of
a corparation which the orgies in
favor of the successful candidate
failed to remove. We knew that Cor
bett Was not a stasesmuu, .aud it is
now evident that he is not a politi
cian, and should confine him-eif ex
clusively fo those commercial pursues
in which he has amassed a fortune
aud mad an honorable, name. The
charge of fraud, insinuated by the
StaU'fman of yesterday, is known to
le false by every person now in the
Capital, and is 'made only wi.h the
intention of , withdrawing .the atten
tion of the public from the bu-e
means used by the monopolists to
achieve the end they have now ac
complished. That money, wine and
more infamous bribes were freely
offered, not only to Republicans, but
to Democrats, is very generaf'y be
licved. al boub the po,i he r of .
us is always the case iu such matters,
may be wanting.
The people of the State will lie
deeply grieved, a tby have rea-on
to be. at the result. Ihe : Uitut was
one iu which they were deeply in
terested. It was simply a question
as to whether a niouopoly. composed
of strangers, ' who have come into
the Suite only to plunder it, shall
have the exclusive control of it
legislation. It would seem that this
has been settled by the late election
of Senator. Had the question been
submitted to the tieople, no one
doubis that uitie-teuihs of the whole
would bave been . opposed to the
monopolists, but since the member
have been purchased for one object,
it is reason ub e to conclude that they
will beieufler be wiiiiug tools.
