him across Cecil Thornton's path
He had amused himself -with women

was fair sport. She should be very
grateful to him, that he, one of the lions

ainue, as tie came eagerly forward to meet

She raised to him then, her great be

He bent his head e little lower as he

Je would be almost tempted to link this
Ctrl s fortune lrrevokably with his. Her
beasty thrilled him. There was about
her a charm ao other woman had ever
exercised over him. It was npon him
in all its force, on the last night they
-were to spenu together on board the
vessel. They had been talking long and
earnestly, and the night was growing
"I dread to-merrow," said the girl,
siuvering.
"And why, he questioned. "Because
it separates us?"
Sue uplifted to his sight the pale,
beautiful face, with its answer written
there.
The temptation was stronger than his
strength. He stooped and pressed a
lervent kiss npon the ripe, red lips.
The girl lay passive in his embrace.
At that instant Mrs. Bay, unhappily
recovered iroai her recent illness,
stopped in front of them.
"Mifie Thornton!" she said, in tones of
incredulous amaze.
Then she waited for an explanation
of the scene. Receiving none, she
turned silently away, in evident dis
pleasure, Cecil drew herself from Arnold 'Win
ton's side.
"You said nothing?" she half asserted,
half questioned. "Why did you not
apeak?"
"There was nothing to eaj' he re
plied shrugging his shoulders.
"Could vou not have told hor what I
-was to yea?"
"What is that?" he asked.
"You ask me?" she answered. "What

Did you ret love sse. Did yoa not mean
me to be your wife?"
"I loved you yes; bnt really I had
sot given consideration to the queetioa

I aaa ready to do anything in reason, my

"Hush!" she cried, stamping her foot

The scathing words left him no reply.
They still burned in his soul long after
her retreating footsteps had died away.
For the first timo in his life ho felt con
tempt for himself, and the sensation was
by no means agreeable.
Neither could ho shake it off as the
days merged into weeks.
lie wondered, too, if Miss Thornton
had been discharged. No! he learned
that she was still in Mrs. Itav's service.
Doubtless she had made satisfactory ex
planations, and Mrs. Ray had pardoned
the indiscretion.
This should have satisfied him, but it
failed to do so. He grew more and in ore
ill at ease restless, almot unhappy.
At last, like a lightning flash, it burst
upon him. He had been playing with
tire, and it had burnt him; he had been
playing with love, and Cupid had re
venged himself. Ho was in love
madly, dcsjteratelvin love with but one
hoe, one thought, one wish, to gain
Cecil Thornton for his own his wife.
He came forward with outstretched
hands.
Thrice she had tried to check him, but
in vain.
Of courso he would have to ask her
forgiveness. For a time she might liesi
tato in granting it, but in the end he
must win. After all, .bis means were
ample to provide his wife with every
ix) ni fort, and how her beauty woulil
adorn his homo ! 'Why had he been so
blind? Poor child! How terribly she
must have suffered !
The more he thought of it tho nearer
came the reality home to him. and the
more impatient "he grew for tho fulfill

Confident and rejoicing, he pulled
Mrs. Ray's lell in the dusk of a w inter's
evening!
' Yes. sir; Miss Thornton is in the li
brary," said the man who admitted him.
bhe sprang up with a glad cry at the
sound of his footstep, then drew back,
her face growing pale as she recognised
him.
'Miss Thornton Cecil!" he began.
"I have come to acknowledge ray wrong,
and beg your forgiveness. Oh, my

Mr. Tremlett. tho British Consnl at
Saigon, mentions as a remarkable Peculi
arity of the natives of tho country tltat
they have the great toe of each foot j
separated from the others like the thumb
of tho hand, and it can bo used in much
the samo manner, though not to tho
same extent. This distinctive mark of
an Annamito is not, however, usually
teen in the vicinity of Saigon, but is now
confined to tho inhabitants of tho more
northern section of the empire, where
tho race has remained more distinct.
This peculiarity is the meaning of tho
native name of tho Annamite race; and
that the naafj and peculiarity are of
great antiquity is shown by the mention
in Chinese annals 2300 B. C.. as that (or
those) of ono of tho "four barbarian"
tribes that then formed tho boundaries
of the Chinese Empire.

AMERICAN' KINDNESS.
Wo Americans have been lectured so
much by Europeans, notably by the
English, and wo have taken ourselves so
freely to task about many real and im
aginary defects, that wo aro in a fair
way, if wo believe all we hear, to arrive
at tho conclusion that we, as a people,
aro well nigh destitulo or virtues. Lec
turing, we opine, whethor from abroad
or at home, does very little gocd as a
corrective, partially because there is
such an excess of it, and partially be
cause wo havo small confidence in tho
source w hence it emanates. As onr na
tional faults have of late been so libo rally
insisted on, it might bo an agreeable
change, to our vanity, at least, to direct
attention to our good qualities, if wo
can allow ourselves to think that we have
anv left.
'o seem to have ono virtue, if no
more, and that virtue is kindness, not
confined to any class or State or section,
but shared by the whole people. Intel
ligent travelers from tho Old World
Freurhmen, Germans, Italians, Russians
and Englishmen havo particularly ob
served this trait, and have made rveonl
of it in correspondence and pnblUhcd
accounts of men and things in the big
republic. Even those foreigners who
have seen a groat deal to blame and
hardly anything to praise in the United
States have generally admitted that the
Americans are kind. Whrther they
should admit it or deny it would not
alter tho fact, for it is a fact that may be
readily recognized anywhere under a
limitless variety of circumstance.
Kindness is unquestionably a national
characteristic. It is seen in New Eng
land, in the middle Statos, in the West
and South, in different degrees, under
diffenat forms of manifestation, no
doubt, bat it is still kindneai, positive
and unmistakable.
Whatever divergences of opinion and
politics of manners and customs there
may be iu the North and South, in the
East and Yet, the inhabitants of all
thoe sections are individually and col
lectively kind, not only willing but glad
to help any ono who needs help, regard
less even of previous prejudice or ran
corous feeling. Wo are not kind on
principle or from policy. Kisdne is
an instinct with us, and an instinct
which we isce&rantiy obey. We may
hate certain men or communities of men,
or think we do personal contact is very
apt to disabuse us of the notion but if
they gt into tronble or suffer from any
evil we are prompt to aid them by every
means in our power a little more
prompt and liberal, perhaps, freta the
consciousness of a once hostile venti
ment. The mere fact that thevara un
fortunate is enough to commend tbexi to
consideration and benevolence. We may
still reserve oar right or privilege
hate them, but we decline to exercise it
until they shall be out of adversity.
This was shown during the yellow
fever scourge in the Southwest. "Extra
ordinary bitterness of feeling had existed
in the North toward the people living in
the infected district. Yet when the pes
tilence broke out among them, spreading
anguith and death on every side, the
North forgot its animosity, and remem
bered only that its ancient foes were suf
fering. It gave quickly and largely; it
could not have been more compassionate
and gene id as if the ravaged puces had
been filled with their nearest kin and
dearest fnends. The South has a ier
itetual grievance toward the North. It
has been oppressed, robbed, dragooned,
it declares, and many of the newspajters
speak of Northern men as if thev were
a body of despots and ruffians. Vever
thsless, if some great calamity should
occur to the North, the South" weald,
doubtless, labor zealously to alleviate
our dUtresses as we have alleviated its
j afflictions in other days, Many South
erners aptear to as wrong-headed, in-
' nacibly prejudiced, tryannical.even liar-

I went ono day, just after Longstrcet
abandoned tho siege, to seo tho Chief
Surgeon, to secttro his certificate to tho
paiers of n brother otllccr who hail ten
dered his resignation, on account of total
disability, arising from wounds and in
juries received in tho lino of duty. I
fitiled to find the doctor in his office. It
was about tho dinner hour. I pushed
my way past servants and flunkoys to his
private quarters in the second story of a
handsome mansion. There, in a n'chly
furnished room stood a table loaded
with mora than tho delicacies of anv ono
season. A savorv roast of Iteof smoked
in the center. There were dishes and
dishes of vegetables; great cut-glass
stands were heaped with fruits, while
dishes to match were filled with canned
Ieaohcs and other tempting viands. It
was a dinner fit for a king. Tho liquids
had not beeu overlooked. There stood
on a sideboard a Itottlc of the
splendid whiskey furnished to tho
Medical Department, and a couple of
bottles of wine. The docter was not
there, having halted in the lower room to
wash and touch up his toilet. Alout
tho time I had completed tho survey
indicated here ho entoml. I was seated
in an easy chair, and I retained my seat.
He glared at me a moment. Then ho
prowled at me in a voice meant to bo very
fierce:
" What do you waut them?"
"I came to'soe yon, sir. about signing

two weeks for no other reason conceiv
able to me titan to show how near and
devilishly cruel you can le. If you
dont sign the jers, I shall prepare a
history of the case, and carry it to Gen.
Burnside in ron.
The old ruffian stared at me in silent
and blank amazement a I aron and
walked oat of the room. He tignd the
certificate, and it was promptly sent to
Uio Captain through the regular
channels, and a worthy and brave offi
cer got oat of tho battered, ruined,
half-starved town and to his family
barely in time to save his life. It was
a common habit of this Chief Surgeon
to altuse both officer aad men, who
would endure his abo in the most
scandalous langnsge. 1 stood ia hss
otfice one day for an hour waiting for a
Umid Lieutenant to get his tarn to talk
with the medical magnate. He had a
railing around the portion of tho room
he occupied, ami the most contemptible
flunkey I ever beheld in charge of the
entrance gate. Not a soul of all the poor
fellows who came bnt was roundly
chixmI and abused, though some of them
were on cratches, the result of recent
woasds. They had leen starving in

other heedless aad cruel brutes about
headquarters, had beea devouring the
delicacies snt for their relief by the to a.

I often wondered that' the oSrers of

dured these oatrages with comparative
indifference. Were it to do again I
doubt if the counnands, rntSans and

Said a witness nndar cross-examination:
"I am an early-caller. I calls
different tradesmen at early hours, from
1 till 5:30 in the morning, and that is
how 1 get my living. I goU up between
VI and 1; I goes to bed at G and sleeps
till tho afternoon. I calls bakora be
tween 1 and 2 tho bakers are tho earli
est of all." What sort of a living he
made is not recorded. A pound a week,
wo should say, would lw the outside
figure, and to earn that he would need a
couplo of scores of customers. Tho
early-caller's fco is well earned, since
but for his intervention his clients would
often lose a day's iiy, if not be thrown
out of work altogether, by failing to
keep time.
There aro men in Paris, birds of a
feather with tho chiffouier, who go from
hospital to hospital collecting the linseed
plasters that have served the turn of
doctor and patient; afterward pressing
Uie oil from Ute linseed and disposing of
the linen, after bleaching it, to Ute
paper maker. Others make a couple of
francs a day by collecting old corks,
which. Wing cleaned and pared, fetch,
it is said, half a franc per hundred.
A lady resident of the Faubourg St.
Gcrniania is credited with earning a
good income by hatching red, black and
drown ants for pheasant preservers One
Parisian gets his living by breeding
maggot out of the foul meats he buys of
Ute chiffoniers, and fattening them up in
the boxes. Another breeds maggots for
the special behoof of nightingales, and a

John R. Raskin, a well-known In
dianapolis printer, has for years been
working on a simplified system of short
hand, which ho has finally so far com
detcd as to give it to the public and a
reporter has been jorraittcd t j
the initial pamphlet which explain the j
svstem. The Ictus of it is a txUeaied
sheet of per sl-oa: the size of a tele '
graph blank, apoa which are printed
One hundrnl aad niaetv-twe set of the
twenty fear pbososraphic co&soaa&t,
in a different tint from that of the ink
used in writing. By connecting two or
three of thce cuasonasu with straight
or carved lines the outline of a wml is
formed, and by means of a host fifty
arbitrary signs the skeleton of ordinarV
wonls is greatly redacted. The vowels
are provided for mueh ia the same man
ner as in onlusxry phosograjuiv, so that
whea a page of characters art rTntsbed it
very much resembles phonographic man
c script. The principal claims made for
the new system by tfie inventor, are thai
it i at least from one-fourth to one
third shorter than ordinary phonography,
and hence greater speed can be obtained;
mat it is much luiler and more legible;
that it is so easily comprehended that
the necessary skill in writing can be ac
quired rapidly, and that with a verr
bnef study it mav be used as ordinary i
manuscript, so tltat it may be nsed with
out transcribing. This latter i the moat
laportant, ami if it is substantiated by
exjerienc, then, indeed, will the author
find, as he trusts, that "he has supplied
a long felt want. lndiVHJj)olU JVcsm.
