The beautiful girl nt sido wns
known aa his daughter and prospect e
heiress.
Vit-jfinia Dulnare was slmpely iu fig
ure, autl not too tall. Her features
were exquisite, her lips scarlet, her eyes
large and brown, and her silky hair li'te
a fleece ot gold. -
Just now the young, flushed face wai
bidden eu the old man a knee.
"Do you really love the poor fellow
whom they call Hugh Girard !" asked
Captain Dulnare, in a fond, disappoint
ed whisper.
"Very dearly, papa," was the smother
ed reply.
With both his white, withered bauds
he lifted the dainty, blushing face, and
looked steadfastly into the big, wistful,
brown eyes.
"Virgie," ho said, in those firm, stern
tones that no, man had ever dared to
disobey, "it is niv wish und will thut
you marry Sextns Weldon. You think
you love another, but at your age love
is but a lightning flash ot passion and
fancy. I know best what will make
you happy. Therefore I have choen
your husband for you."
"I distrust and despise Sextus Wel
don," returned the girl, assionately,
springing to her feet. "It is your mon
ey, not me, he cares for."
A stranga look wavered over the
round, ruddy visage of the old nmn.
"Another romantic hallucination, my
fhild," lib naid. "The y.iung man idol
ises you. Dj you th nk your old fattier
does not know the signs of love ! And,
my pretty lamb, Sextus it veiy rich,
and I would like to have you the wife
of a wealthy man when 1 hib gone."
"I had rather be jior and cjutenteJ,
papa," aubbetl his child.
Then the old man's eyes grew stormy
with the anger the feared.
"Vou ungrateful girl t how ungrate
ful you will never know- till I am dead
Have I not been kind to youl Hare I
ever asked you to do anything that was
not for your Welfare 1 Have yott not

promise me that you will give up Hugh
Girard ami pledge yourself to Sextus
VY eldon when he asks you.
"I promise," answered tho awed and
weeping girl, and then with a tender
kiss, Captain Dulnnre tent her away,
being well pleased.
V hat varied and momentous events
arc ofttimes crowded into a single hour
of a lifetime.
Before the sun of that day set, Vir
ginia Dulnare wore on one lily-white,
rose-tipped fingera magnificent diamond
ring the svmbol of her betrothal to
Sextus Weldon'. And scarcely had the
cold, yellow circlet grown warm on ber
bnger, before Hugh Girard came fur tho
decisive answer he had expected for
many weeks.
There were passionate words on the
bearded lips of the handsome, bhte-eved
man, but a single gesture of that Bi.lua
hand rtopjied their utterance.
He looked into her face. That face
was ictly white, but the brown ycs
were like atari of lire. .
"I understand, Virgiuie," he said,
slowlv : "they have sold you for cold.
Yott loved me, but you were weak.
God help you, my darling."
And so Hush Girard went Lis way,
and Virginie Dulnare fell on her knees,
weeping piteous tears in the twilight
dusk.
A strange sound arouse! her.
They wera calling her to her father's
chamber.
Tumbling, shivering and heart-sic'-,
with a strangf, portentous dread heavv
on bar heart, she obeyed the summons.
Captain Dulnare hat as she had left
him, in his easy chair; but the frost
white locks that straggled over the
crimson velvet, fmmcd in a bloodless,
rigid face.
Captain Dulnare was dead.
There was a mournful time the nec
essary inquest, the death-watch, and the
rather pumpous funeral but it i assed
as all things of anguish and delight
must pass m this world ot changes.
lhen came the reading of the dead
mans will, and the settlement of bis
financial nfiHirs.
And witii t!i.;e gruMt mutters of bus-
inewa and 1mc;", tlu.c- amn to the pale,
stricken Virgiuie, a terrible disclosure.
Ca-it. Duluate's large liabilities, se
cured by heavy m rtgages, and his flatt
ing debts, swallowed up everything.
The heiress iu prospective was utterly
enniless.
But that was the smallest sorrow. -
For by papers of proof left, Virginie
was declared to be a child of adoption.
She had been left when a baby on the
rich man's door step, and he hud reared
her as his own.
And after three weeks of grievous
embarrassment, Vifginie was thrust out
into the world with no hope except
what she had fixed upon Sextus Weldon.
He only came once, and his tone were
altered and supercilious.
No matter what he said.
But Virginie's sweet face flushed, and
she tore the betrothal ring from her
shaking hand and gave it buck to the
man who wa3 no'j loth to reeeive it. :
Then she went out into the world to
win her bread not an easy task for one
luxuriously reared.
She thought she could do dressmaking
nicely ; but to every store 'and shop to
which she allied she was greeted with
the one answer :

A lady in velvet and silk with plumes

had just ascoiided from her carriiige.

'Put this ediild into tho carriage, and

Itveried grosui. '

mad freaks nf his honored tuislresa this
wai the maddest.
Si, when Virginia awoke from her
long, ti;l sweftn, she found herself in n
puiitit, oM-fiisliioned chamber, oud uot
aLmp.
'Where Bin I, and who are yuu 1"
die asked faintly, of the stately woman
who bent over t he couch.
'You are with one who will lwver
f irsake you, my child, even it" you bad
known sin an I shame before I fttund
fon," sai l the sweet-faced woman, hold
ing close the quivering hands.
"I have never sinned, but I have bean
shamed to the soul by the frowns of
poverty," answered Virginie, while the
hectic flush grew hoi ter on her cheeks.
"Be calm, dear, and listen to what I
have to tell you. When I saw you
nr.t, lying like one dead ou thoRo cold
granite ste, I love I you. You looked,
Virginie, as my husband looked when
he lay iu his olHn. I found your name
in irked on your clothing. It was the
name of a little child who waa stolen
from me years and year ago. While
you have been lying here ill, I have
made a ha;ipy discovery. Can you gueas
what it is I"
Virginie could not mistake tho ex
pression of the find, sweet, haudsjuie
face bent so close to her own.
"Yon are my mother," sho said.
"I am your mother, my darling,"
answered the lady ; "and hviiceforth, for
Virginia Chatnpney," there shall be no
more toil nor tronblp, if I can prevent
it."

"When C. plain D.iiuate idinse a hus

"Ate yon so anxious tot lose mp'l"
a.ked the girl, with humorous muVf.
Mr.-. Chanipney smoothed her tresses
soberly.
"Virgie, you must marry some tiuio,
you know. But that is no i-eas m why
you shall not still remain my daughter.
I oulyjiorte that your future husband

Oh !" gasped Virginie, thinking of
Hugh Girard, and wondering; with a
shudder, if sho was to bo n victim of
rwntch-making all her life.
"Well, this poor fellow fell in love
with a beautiful girl, who loved him,
although sho rejected him for a richer
lover. In his despair ho left his native

Virgie listened with a sinking heart.
"I can't marry this man unless he
asks me," she returned, bitterly.
"Ho will ask you," was tho decisive
response, as tho big, piebald roan was
reined up before a fashion.-iHe boarding

"Listen," sho said, pausing befjre

"Virgie, my Ijst love ! Virgie :h,

The color llew into tho white cheeks
of t he astonished girl.
"Gad bless you for this, mother !"
she said, rushing into tho room where
Hugh Girard lay sick alntist unto death.
"I am here, Hugh I" she cried.

with a c mteute.l smile on ber sweet,

"Yes," answered Virgiuie ; ."he will

E tiler Democrat:
"Gentlemen may cry peace ! peace !
but there is no pf ace" mo tho words
that Patrick Henry is supposed to have
sjioken a hundred years ago; and they
seem to have been the epitome ami
prophecy of tho history of the United
States. -Ti e moment war censes iu o::e
plac , or in ono frm, it breaks out in
another From Appomattox to the
war of reconstruction there was but a
stop, and, since Appomattox, we ha-vo
had the war on Johnson, against Grant,
against Hayes with inntimerublo di
versions and ekiiiuifdies. As tho Gen
eral said to his reinforcement : "Fall
in anywhere j you will End beautiful
fighting all along tho line." True, bal
lots havo sometimes been substituted
for bullets, but there ia a terrible irony
in this enumeration of opposing votes ;
it is only another way t f proving, be
fore tho onslaught, that Frovidciii.e fa
vors tho denser battalions.
When Congress assembled in October
there was a prospect for a short, tame
discussion of tho army bill, but tho ex
tra session, and the regtih'r session has
been characterized by unusual excite
ment, while now, duriuj the brief r.r
mi-dice of tho holidays, thero are indi
cations of a fiercer resumption of hostil
ities. The victory that Senator Conk
I ng was supposed to have won over the
administration proves to havo lieen only
a drawn battle, and the President will
renew tho contest in a few weeks with
every proajieft ef surees, fur it iu:ty le
said, on authority, that tho Democrats
will vote in favor of hia numimt'-inn?.
Then there will 19 a desperate struggle
between Cjugress and the powerful mil
itary and naval lobbies, fjr there ure
already numerous bills on the c.ileiidar
i joking to the reduction of i!.-. .:r:dus
sige ef cfliccra in the army, an ! t im
portant changes in the imi-ai 8":b!is'j
mnt. The question of th Pre-ident's title,
or rather of the nut ha 1- by which 1 e
is supposed to have secured the title of
President, will lw th subject of f ally
investigation. There haa I ti n m .re t r
less talk of Congressional inquiry itdo
this matter ever since the inauguration;
but recently the charge have a-sniM;d
a more definite shape, and it is now
said that it can lie circumstantially
proved that the President of the United
States holdi his title indirectly by a
bargni i that the writings of the bar
gain are in tho hands of Democratic
Memljors of Congress, and that Major
Burke, of Louisiana, has in bis posses
sion a copy of the same. A discussion
of this question in Congre-s-t will doubt
less to still greater confusion ol
strict political liuei,, and dclino still
more distinctly the strength of opposi
tion within the Republican party. It
is believed that soino Republican Mem
bers and Senators, if not tho silent in
stigators of this investigation, regurd.it
with great complaisance, if not with se
cret glee.. From tho day of his inaug
uration, when the President announced
aud emphasized his purpose to adhere
to tho strict letters of tho platform in
tha particulars of civil service reform
and Sjutheru pacilication, thoro began
a death struggle between him and some
of tho most distinguished leaders of his
party, and each succeeding step has
mado it more impossible for either to
recedo without yielding principle or
immolating ambition. Tho death of
Mortou has precipitated the crisis. Ho
was emphatically the leader of his party
in the Senate, ntvl bis dying rallying
cry to closo up the ranks find ke?p a
steady front on tho line, might have
been heeded could he have led tho col
umn in person ; but tha baton dropped
from his paralyzed grasp, Blaino and
Conkling took it up -henco g see
what we see.
It is curious to notice the distinguish
ing and contrasted traits and methods
of tho two men who have nssnmsd the
party leadership since the death of Mor
ton. Senator Conkling is proud, digni
fied, aud scornful. Ho has too much
egotism, and too boundless a faith in
his own star, to stoop to diplomacy or to
ask f-ivors. Ho is a much bettar hater
than Blaine. TheSenatorfrom Maine was
the first to shout his defiance, and he
defined his position in word that were
not vague, almost Jin coon as he 'ontered
the Senate when lie assumed that
Hayes must recognize and defend Pack
ard, or repudiate,' by implication, his
own title. Notwithstanding this pub
lic hostility he did not hesitate u il'.ne
with the President, ami the records
show that ke lias endorsed more appli
cations for ofiioe under the present ad
ministration than any other Senator.
.His ill health has prevented his taking
J an active part in the debates cf the
present session,. but he baa to-day ar-
! rived from the Hot Saringa,nd this
! crisp atmosphere, fram the banks of his
vwn Keancbeo, will perhaps bring tho
eye and vigor to his
limbs.
W05IES (J).
To-day tho women's sixteenth amend
ment convention assembles, and female
representatives from different States
have been for two or throo days on tho
grounds, canvassing, etc. behaving as
much like the averago male politician as
tho physical disabilities of sex, and so
cial prejudice, will allow. Two of them,
Dr. Mary Walker and another gro
tesque antique, appear in the " lean

Mr. J. 31. lf:ir;.iei-, who Milled near
O.'lfax in 1870, thus describes, in a let
ter to the (JazMt. the Paloitso country
ami its towns. He says, "during the
fall of 1871, Whitman county was cut
o!l" from Stevens county. Our present
bnninluries are about forty-five miles
sifirtb a-i.i south, and about seventy east
ail v.ust. Something near forty miles
i p:are ot this tract is generally suscep
tible of cultivation, aud will furnish a
elniiii of one hundred and sixty acres
for eight thousand settlers. The tract
is bounded on the north, east aud south
by a similar grade of land.
During the summer of 1871, Colfax
was chpseii as tha county se-at of Whit
man comity. It then consisted of a
small r-aw mill propelled by Water, a
tm.ill shed with iVo it a wagjn load ef
merchandise, and a blacksmith slop. It
can now boast of a printing ollice, two I
lry goo ls stores, two drug stores, two I
m lis a .grist mill and a large steam
saw mill with planing and furniture
making machinery, a jwst office, se.eral
grocery stores, two hotels, a restaurant,
largo livery stable, a saloon, and a large
church in coure of erection, two black
smith shops, several carpenter shops,
one millinery shop, two boot and shoe
shops, a butcher shop, and two stove
aud tin stores. The land office and ex
press office will soon be iu operation
here. Several law ottices, etc.
Palotue City is located fifteen miles
nearly cast of C.dfax. It has, within
the past J'ear, principally, made tho fol
lowing improvements : Two dry goods
stores, a hardware store, drug store,
hotel, post otlice, blacksmith shop; boot
and shoo sho("),stcatn saw mill, glist
mill, aud livery stable ; and likely other
improvements since I visited tho place
two months since.
Aluiota is another place that bids fair
to do a good commercial .business, sit
uated, as it i1, on the Suake river, about
23 milwt Boath of Colfax, and 35 ingles
below L3wiston. It has a largo s-ore,
una a lull assortment ot general mcr-
chiindLc, two largi warehouses, paying
cash for and storing nil kinds of grain
and produce, and furnishing the fanners
with all kinds ul farm implements, from
a boo to a steam thredibig machine.
Hero is also a good hotel, grist mill,
post Oince, blacksmith shop, boot and
shojk shop, liverv stable, etc. This
place is of almost magic birth, lieing
bunt up m about two months. These
fairy ciiioj in the hills, would all, prob-
euly, have been one-fourth larger in
number of dwellings, if the demand for
lumber cnuld hr.ve bjen supplied. There
ara three large., steam saw mills, and
two water niiils in active operation, and
are unable to furnish over half the de
mand for building and fencing material.
All of these places have good schools
largely attended. Culfax ha three.
Tiiare are threo other towns started
Lincoln, situated 11 miles east of Col
fax, on the Palouse, has a saw and grist
mill, both busy trying to stop. the clamor
about bread and lumber, although we
generally have an ample supply and a
surplus of tho first artielc, and the Best
quality. This place also has a black
smith shop and school in operation, and
contemplates a woolen factory.
Wawawa i3 situated about seven
miles above Almato, and Penawawa
about the same distance lelow. AH
these places are lively, thrifty towns,
and bid fair to control their respective
shares of business in time to come, as
they are all backed by a large, pro
ductive country that is boing rapidly
occupied and filled. Walla Wail Union.

and give it all the eun possible ; the
more sun, the more bloom. It came
oiiginally from South America, and was
introduced into England about the year
1825. In its native home it grows on
dry hills, and one great fault in growing
verbenas with us is the practice ot
watering too copiously. Damp not only
produces niUdew but rota the roots, and
thus destroys the plant or produces dis
ease, finch the shoots to prevent it

There are no beds, onlv borders these

down a lieautiful dark green band of
ivy, of course allowing m tha lavin

occupied. I he effect of these rich ereen
bands, that are ftequently twenty inches
wide, adds much t-i the beauty of the
borders.

If the plants grow too tali, pinch out

break into lateral branches. Again, if
the side branches become too close, prune
them out fearlessly. Tho geianium

killing the plant, even by i runiiia it

Of wood grpwn en the same soil,

growth are narrowest ia aiso weakest.
The sjiace intervening between, the
annual circles or Layers, is loose and

A burning chimney, when the soot
has been lighted by a lire in the fire
place, can be. extinguished by sbntting
all tho doors in the room, so as to pre
ventany ctlrrenTof air up the chimney;
then, by throwinga few bandsful of
cotnon fine salt upon .the lire in the
grate or on the L earth, the F.re in the

the process of burning the salt, muriatic-acid
gas is evolved, which is a
prompt extinguisher of fire.

a rat might tread, was put crystals of
the copperas and scattered the same in
