John Ingle ton returned to l.W aieter'a
home Mid hurriedly re-packed hi knap'
sask. Tlrzab watched him narrowly,
bnt furtively. She had dreaded the final
result of the interview between the old-
time lovers; but her dread had been
baed upon a different conjecture from
that which now filled her with fear and
trembling.
John Hardiue, whose visits at the
home of Israel Ssppingtun bad become
the theme of much neighborhood gossip,
lost no opportunity to impress his wife
with the opinion that it was very dis
honorable in John Ingleton to call upon
Mrs. Peter Tubbs. Aud Tiraab, though
she could by no meafas excuse her hus
band for the derelictions with which
Rumor constantly accused him, had
joined him in apprehensions as to the
propriety of permit! iog 'Lire to meet her
old affianced at all. Her affection for
her husband hail been so severely tried
from the first day of their uuiou by his
refusal to comply with the sacred terms
of their contract toward her parents,
that he had long ceased to entertain for
him the least shadow of restect or af
fection. Andbiscruelty iu forbidding her
to return to her mother after the news
of her father's suicide, and when she
was only ten miles away on her West
ward journey, had, from the first, filled
her with loathing; and, now that she

"If you'd been a man, and had my ex

sweeping in your denunciations, and
place women in the same category."
Then I accept your Idea, And I re
peat the question, why is It?"
"I eaii't answer, Tirzah
it's true."
"Does 'Lisa know that Peter did not
tell her all the truth attout your mar
riage?" "No."
"Then I'd never tell ber. No good
would come of it now. She's made her
bargain, and for aught I see she'll have
to abide by It. But I do wish you'd
happened to come along a little sooner,
John. Twenty-four hours earlier would
have saved you two to each other."
"Liza doesn't look at it that way, sis
ter. She remembered that I had made
a vow to her, and that, under a tempta
tion which she perhaps could not eom-
fcebeod, had broken It. I was both
Peak and wicked, and I would have
been ashamed to meet her as a widower
if she bad not been married also."
"But you must admit that it was das
tardly in Peter to deceive ber as be did."
"I know it was, and if I did not feel
myself to be such a wretched poltroon,
I'm afraid I'd kill him. Do you know
where John Hardioe Is ?"
A shadow of disgust overcast his sis
ter's features at the mentiou of her hus
band's name.
"I e'pose he went to Cbemeketa with
Peter, but I've given up trying to keep
track of him," she sild, dryly, and the
shade of disgust gave way to 'a fluxh of
shame as her voice fell. Her brother
well knew of whom she was thinking
in connection with ber husband.

John Ingleton was" too deeply excited
to note the change his words and man

To THE EDITOK OP THE Jf BW XoaTHWKST :
I intimated In my last communlea

Ureenbackers would seek to drop the
suffrage question at their called meeting
in onieago June 9th, 1880. I herewith
enclose a letter from. Hon. E. M. Davis,
of Philadelphia, to the Sentinel, a Na

which letter fully verifies my suspicions
of those Nationals. It is hoped, how
ever, that the better judgment will pre

the platform adopted at the St. Louis
Convention will be retained by the
Chicaco Convention. Yours for the

HOX. E. Jf. DAVIS'S LETTER.
Philadelphia, March 16, 1880.
Editor Sentinel : Your issua nf ilu
11th, with a quotatlou from my eirnufer
letttr, and your comments, are before
me. I reaffirm what voti nuote. SIimm
i made tbe statement first, I find that
many of the Western apera had the
-eair aa it was read and adopted.
Whether it was oversight that you and
omere goi ine eau riglit, or
wnetner It was intended you should, I
am. not yet capable of proving. As far
as I cau ascertain (aud this "clique"
covers its tracks with great care), tbe
whole Associated Press was to have it
as altered. The Associated Press that
supplies tbe City of Washington and all
the papers ou the Atlantic Coast got the
call a changed, and in that mangled
way It appeared In tlieir papers. The
parties that supply the Western nanern
got it as adopted, aud it was oil before a
change could be made. But I have
some reason to think that it waa in.
tended that the words "sullrage re
formers" should lu the West where
they are more numerous than hem lu,
continued, but that fur the East the
woras should quietly be dropped. Some
of the Greenback papers lu Ohio got it
right, but throughout this Slate, New
York, aud further East, I doubt if one
bad the call as read aud adopted. I
have seen a great many, and not oue In
cludes the wonls "sullrage reformers."
All our Philadelphia dailies and New
York dailies published the call, but
without tbe words "suffrage reformers."
I hoiMj you will correct your statement
that tbe wonls "were not left out."
Our friend Shilling's paper in Ohio
published it right. He wrote me that
he made up the call from his notes cor
rected from notes of a Washington re
porter, aud got it right, but that was
within an hour after its adoption ; but
the Washington report was "over
hauled" berare he got his report into
type, and in that natter tbe word w.
oniiireu, as tliey were In every paper lu
oaaoiugion, inciuuiug me Washington
View.
I am sorry you did not publish the
whole of my circular letter, but bone
you will, with this, in your next Issue,
aod hope you will help me make It so
not ior I ue person or persons who did
this dishonorable thine, that th. Green
back papers of the land may print the
names Involved In black lines. What
was stricken out Is of secondary Im
portance. If we submit for i moment
to this das'ardly act, we encourage its
repetition, ami as a party take the dis
honor that belongs to a portion only.
I have written nearlv one hundred
letters about tbe matter, and have had
a great many responses. I am making
a report of my examination into th
matter. I have asked tbe editor of tho
Xational View, where my charge was
first made, K he would publish my re

that every statement she niakaA Ami
every denial of these reports are true,
but that she has been most cruelly out
raged and treated by an unfeeling world
outrage only exceeded by the terrible
trial she was compelled to undergo
while in captivity. She realizes now
that she made a grave' mistake in going
into the lecture field, and" says that If
she had consulted her own wishes ami
judgment she would have kept from the
puouc gaze and buried tier wrongs and.
ber griefi in the sacreduess of retire
ment. Her lectures were given under
the mistaken advice of ber very un
practical and moot unwise counsellor,
ber brother Ralph. She denies in toto
that she visited the Indians at Wash
ington, except Ouray and Chlpeta, to
whom she felt a world of gratitode for
having secured her release from a horri
ble captivity ; and she prooouneea the
statement that she inquired after Per
sune a cruel and malicious falsehood.
She Mates that she has used every effort
to induce her brother Ralph aud sister
Rose to refrain from newspaper refer
ences to their personal matters, and has
herself sought quietude and retirement,
and not notoriety. We are glad to be
able to state that Miss Meeker is not
suffering in body from her treatment,

"Woodworker," an Indian chief, says
he has never seen a gray-haired Indian

One talent, well cultivated, deepened
and enlarged, is worth a hundred shal

at thin day, when so many matters are

poiot, looking neither to tbe right or
left. It has been justly said that a nm
deal of the wisdom of a man lu this

A deep sense of life destroys the fear
and almost tbe idea of death. Men I
fear death as children fear to go Into
the dark ; and as that natural fear In
children is Increasing with tales, so Is
the other. It is as natural to die as to
be horn ; and to a little infant perhaps
the one is as painful as the other. He
that dies in an earnest pursuit is like
one who Is wounded in hot blood, who,
for the time, sea roe feels the hurt.
