iv-Tt r y, and was surprised to
" L 'i Ittf there. She looked

Here Hugh leaned over his chair to
knock the ashes oft his cigar, and said to
his friend: " I must have had it pretty
bad ch, "Williams I to have said thatt for
you Know that l can t enaure either a
bad odor or a loud noise. But I forgot
everything when under the influence of
those eyes, and when she exclaimed,
Oh.no: I couldn't let you do that,' I
felt that my fate was sealed, and that I
should take the noise and the smells.
The next thing that I discovered was
that my lady had no sea chair. There
was only one. left, and that had been
spoken for; but I paid double the amount
and the chair was mine. r
'You are so kind, Mr. Remington,'
she said, I don't know what I should
have done without you. I am not fit to
travel alone,' she added in a dullish
voice. " '
I longed to press her to my heart and
tell of my love; and if she would but let
me, it would be the joy of my life to care
for. I looked all this; I am sure I did.
But there were too many people around
me to speak. She sat with her hands
ioiuea in ner lap, ana iooaeu tuvmeiy
unconscious.
The third day out the weather be
came bitter cold.
I am almost frozen, said Mrs. .
What shall I do? I have nothing to
wrap around me. and shall have to stay
below, and, oh dear! it is so uncomfort-
there!' The face turned up to mine was
that of a spoiled child.
" Now, I had a fine English robe, which
I had used at night, for you know every
thing at Bea is so horribly damp. It hid
been a great comfort to me, and I knew
I should miss it. But what of that? I
couldn't see the ' woman I loved suffer,
So I got it and tucked her all up in it.
Her delicious smile ! repaid me for the
sacrifice.
" 'Oh. how nicer she said, as she put
her hands under the warm rug. . ' It
seems to me. Mr. Remington, that you
have everything to make one comfort
able. I never heard of such a man
am so glad that I came under your care.'
"I was so love stricken that I did not
reflect upon her apparent unconscious
ness of the fact that 1 had deprived my
self of those comforts in order that she
should be made comfortable. She seemed
to take it for granted that I was a sort of
traveling missionary, with extra wraps,
state-rooms, chairs, and any anything
lse thatpne might need; and I was such
a slave to her infatuation that, had she
asked me to do the impossible, I should
have attempted it.
" Every day I had it upon my lips to
tell her of my love. Each day courage
forsook me. We walked the deck day
after day. She would put her little soft
hand on my arm in the moat confiding
war. look up from under her curls, laugh
her sweet low laugh, and ask the most
childish, innocent questions.
" "We were walking this way on the
sixth day out. 1 1 had carefully rehearsed
my part and was about to tell my story
Her conversation seemed to lead to it,
for she said
" 'You will come to see me when you
are in New Xork, won t you, Mr, liem
ington?'
'.' 'Nothing,', said I, 'would give me
greater pleasure.
"'You will come often? Promise to
dine at our house once a week. You
won't forget me?' and the blue eyes
sought mine.
" I looked into 1hem, and my look
told what my tongue had refused to say.
I pressed the little hand close to my
heart, and after a pause said, below my
breath, 4 Forget you ? ' and I was about
to pour forth my love when she gave i
little scream, and cried, ' Oh, my veil!
There, sure enough, was the confounded
blue thing sailing before the wind, and
all the passengers, it seemed to me, after
it. Of course I had to go too, and make
believe trv to capture it. I never hated
anything bo much as I did that yard of
blue gauze. X couidn t go b&cit and con
tinue my story from where it was so end
denly broken off, and indeed the widow
seemed quite shy of me.
The incident had given the passen
gers an opportunity to speak to her, and
when X joined her (without the veil, for
it had, I hoped, struck bottom) she was
surrounded by a group of people. I had
no chance that day, nor the next, to get
her to myself. I tried to think of some
thing tnat I could do or show her that
would amuse and detain her. It seemed
as though I had exhausted all my re
sources, when at last a brilliant idea
occurred to me; I would show her the
presents I had brought for sister Nell,
They were all in my little sea trunk, and
I knew that she couldn't resist their
attractions. She came on deck bright
and beautiful as ever. " : . " . -
"'Isn't it delightful,' said she, -J to
think that to-morrow we shall be at
home ? I can hardly wait for the time to
come; and yet' and her voice dropped
into the dearly-loved ; soft tone the
voyage has been a most charming one,
owing to your kindness,' she added
brightly. - - "
" I longed to launch forth my tale of
love, but thinking it more prudent to
wait until I had secured her wholly to
myself, X asked ber m the most ordinary
manner if she wouldn't enjoy looking at
some little trinkets that I had picked up
in Paris. Hereyes sparkled.
" Yes, indeed,' she said. 'Nothing
could be more delightful than to get a
glimpse of X'aris while at sea.
"I went below and got all my pretty
nouveautes, and brought them up to ber.
Placing a chair in a quiet corner, and
well hid from the other people, then
drawing mine up beside her, I began
showing one by one my collection of odd
things.
- ' Where did you get them, Mr. Rem
ington ? I hunted all over Paris and
found nothing half so pretty. What ex
quisite ponbonheurs!' and she slipped
one after another of my carefully chosen
bracelets on her little plump wrists, and
turned them first on one side and then on
the other.
" I knew Knell's taste, and had search'
ed for something uncommon, and was
well pleased with what X had bought.
But Nell and everything were forgotten
with this bewitching creature by my
siae, ana wnen sue made a move to take
them off, I said, laughingly, of course.
' Oh, don't disturb them; they look so
well where they are, and it is pleasant,
you know, to get a glimpse of Paris while
at sea.' '
" She kept them on, and I opened the
other boxes. There were rings, crosses,
medallions, chatelaines, and many other
ornaments of curious designs. : The
widow decked herself, and was in high
glee. A child could not have enjoyed it
more, x watched her with loving eyes,
told her where each one came from, and
helped fasten them on.
" I feel like an Indian princess,' she
said, and ought to have a throne and i
crowd of kneeling courtiers, and the pic
ture would beicomplete.'
" ' Can't jwu imagine a throne ? "
said. and take me for kneeling cour
tiers. Wouldn't my love compensate for
the admiring crowd ?
. She looked up quickly, and was
about to answer, when one of those eter
Hal old bores that, no matter when you
cross, are always to be found on ship
board, came up, and began telling of his
early reminiscence, what the sea was
twenty years ago, as though the sea had
ever changed, and how, when he had
first crossed, his friends never expected
to see him again. He had made his will,
and they parted as though he were to be
forever lost to them, l assure you tnat x
silently wished in my heart that he had
never turned up again. Without saying
a word, X got up, too my poxes, ana
left mr Indian princess. -X was wior-
ouffhlv angrv with the old fellow for in
terrupting our tete-a-tete, and seriously
annoyed with Mrs. for listening to
and answering him. I made up my miad
that that game had been played long
enough. I would ask her the simple
question the first chance I got, and know
mv fate at once. But the chance did not
come as soon as X expected it would.
' She went to ber room with a sic
headache, so she said, sM I paced the
deck alone. We wera'a long way up the
harbor when she made her appearance
the folic wing morning, i She said that
she had hurried with her packing, think
ing that wa were nearer than we really
were to the city," .'".

are coming, you know, to dine with me
on Saturday, and I will then give them
to you."- lt-Vv.:1",'- ";i -
" Certainly, I said. "There is bo
time for us to change them now. Wear
them until I see you again. i
" I bad fully made up my mind that,
as I had been baffled so often, I would
now wait until I had seen her in her own
home before I openid my heart to her.
or rather before X asked ber my fate.
She already knew my heart. There was
no time to talk ; allows excitement ; we
were rapidly approaching; handkerchiefs
were waving from the dock. The widow
was straining her eyes, when suddenly
leaving me and going farther forward I
saw her throw a kiss. How I longed to
catch it ! I looked with jealous eyes to
see who would take it up and answer it.
Foremost among the crowd was a great
big man, six feet, and broad in propor
tion. It was he who was returning her
kisses. Could it be her brother, or
was it a friend, and this merely a pleas
ant greeting from a distance?
"X watched him come on ooard, ana
what did the big idiot do but catch her
up in his anna my sweet one, whom,
though loving, I had never dared to
touch and kiss her over and over again.
I could have knocked him down.
1 On drawing nearer to them. I saw
that neither of them noticed me. She
had forsrotten mv existence. With a
heartsick feeling X turned away, was
this to be the end? Why had I come
home ? I could hear them talking,
though too miserable to listen. They
came nearer, and the same soft voice
that I loved so dearly said : ' Mr. Bern
ington. X have been talking about you,
telling how good and kind you have
been, and how utterly forlorn I should
have been had you not always looked
out for my comfort. X have come to
thank you, and my husband wants to
thank you too.'
"Her husband! Great heavens! And
I thought she was a widow, and had
made love to her ! I listened as though
in a dream, and a deuced unpleasant
one it was too.. I believe he thanked
me, and she praised, and he thanked
again, and then they urged me to come
to see them, and she said ; ' lion for
get Saturday.'
" Whether I said anything or whether
I remained mute is more than x can ten,
I was like a man asleep, and had to give
myself a good shake to come out of the
nightmare I was in. When I looked
around sher-they were gone."
Here Hugh stopped as though he had
finished ; but his friend Williams, whose
curiosity was aroused, a&ked :
" Did you come with her on Saturday?
" No ; I sent a regret."
" Have you ever seen her since ? "
"No. never."
" What became of your nouveates de
X'aris r
, " Nell went without them and I went
without my English robe."
" You don't mean that Bhe never sent
them to you?"
" I never gave her my address, and
she was not supposed to know where I
was."
Williams didn't like to ask any more
questions, and Hugh remained quiet for
a time. Then rousing himself up and
getting out of his chair, he said :
" I have never made love since, and "
with a bitter laugh " I always avoid
women in deep mourning. And now
as the fire has gone out with my story,
X think we bad better go to bed,"
A Pioneer' Big Lift.
An old pioneer was hugging the
historic etove in Judge Knox's court
room last evening, and. as ia usua
with the old timers who visit that
temple of justice, was in a reminia
cent frame of mind. Though poor
now, he had, as a matter ot course
been once rich.
. " I was a leadiu' citizen of Mack

days I was in the dust-buyin' busi
ness. I had my sign out, '8. Compra

Public Men Who are Afraid of Women.
No city in the Republic, not even New
York, so Bwarmswith adventuresses as
Washington, which has for years been
the chosen field of the bold, dangerous,
wholly unprincipled tribe. They can be
counted by hundreds; they are of every
sort and degree. They are in the Depart
ments, at the hotels, at the boarding
houses everywhere that a man can be
found, seduced or frightened. Their
missions are multifarious and their move
ments mysterious. They are seeking
positions; they are lobbyists; they have.
or their friends have, claims. They need
personal, political, pecuniary assistance
indeed, all kinds, except the moral
kind. Most of them are blackmailers,
The widow Oliver was but one of the
many. They are so crafty and treacher
ous that public men of reputation or
means are afraid of, and always on the
alert against them. - The late Salmon X
Chase, would never, during his official
life at the Capitol, see a woman he did
not know intimately, except in the pres
ence of witnesses. Many Congressmen,
Senators and other office-holders have
also made it a rule to receive no visits
from women alone. Senator Chandler,
though not noted for delicacy, is partic
ularly careful on this point. So is Ben
Butler, despite his audacity and reckless
ness. These and other public men re
fuse to see women at their rooms, : or
houses, or anywhere, without third per
sons. The experience of others, if not
their own, has made them wary and ap
prehensive. . There are, doubtless, many
men not afraid of any man. i We question
if there be any man not afraid of women
If there be, he has surely never been in
Washington. m
A farmer near Marshall town raised last

: I do not remember ever to have heard
or read of any expert in the history of
firearms or fetes that has created the in
terest that Dr. W. F. Carver has done in
his exhibition of marksmanship before
the Prince of Wales and a number of the

Bary introductions of these distinguished
personages to Dr. Carver, who was near
ly half an hour behind his time, a delay
unavoidable, but in an English subject X
may, say unpardonable. The sun sbone
out for the first time in several davs: the
emerald turf of the lawn in its spring
time verdure and magnificent dimensions
made a superb carpet for the guests. Dr
Carver appeared attired in a black vel
vet blouse, adorned with many glittering
gems and medals, the trophies of his
American triumphs, his gray sombrero
hat shading his long sunburn locks and
hazel eyes of piercing power. Unique
and picturesque, tall and gallant looking
was this " citizen of the west " amidst
these grand nobles of the east. A buzz
of admiration went up as the doctor first
gracefully bowed to the princess and
ladies present, and then made his saluta
tions to the prince and his guests with a
frankness and simplicity of manner so
typical of prairie freedom that it at once
seemed to charm every one present
After mounting his excellent horse of
true Indian blood, Winnemucca, he
awaited the selection of the testing local
ity on the lawn; his quick eye scans the
deer in their galloping brigades beneath
the mighty oak and tall elms, and he sits
his beautiful steed like a very monarch
oi ease and power.
The Prince of Wales, walking up to
him, says pleasantly! " I have heard so
much of your unrivaled skill that X am
pleased to see you here.
"And I am pleased to see you, too,
prince, responded the doctor.
" Will you first give the ladies here
present an evidence of what you can do?"
said the gallant prince.
This was so proposed, as the ladies had
pre-arranged engagements, which ware
dispensed with, however, for Dr. Carver's
more attractive entertainments, when his
first feats were seen.
The Prince of Wales held the timing
watch and kept score himself, manifest
ing a delighted interest in the perform.
ance. Dr. Carver, for the first time be
fore an assemblage of persons, broke con
secutively, without the slightest inter
ruption, 100 glass balls in 100 straight
shots of bis rifle, following this feat at
once by breaking one hundred balls
with 100 smooth shots from a double-
barreled Bhot-gun, both transactions
being simultaneous, or almost a unit.
with two different weapons under similar
distance and circumstances. The doctor
then, with his horse running at full
speed and he sitting on it like a pic
turesque statue, broke 28 out of 30 balls,
single and double.' To prove his pre
cision Dr. Carver, at the special request
of the prince, broke 14 out of 16 balls in
fifteen seconds. He also discharged 15
out of 16 shots, or cartridges, in four
seconds, to prove rapidity in firing, the
sixteenth cartridge failing to- go off.
After that came an exhibition rarely if
ver seen before. The doctor" caused a
glass ball to be placed at a considerable
istanoe on the lawn. He fired at and
under it, so that the concussion of the
sod throws the ball up, and before it
falls the doctor again levels his rifle and
breaks the balls, in the most finished
and artistic style. This so excited the
admiration of the Prince of Wales that.
turning to .the Earl of Rowney, in a
most enthusiastic manner be exclaimed,
"Bravo! I will bet 1000 that Dr. Car.
ver will break one hundred and fifty
balls without error or intermission with
his rifle! " The doctor complied, though
none oi tne group took up the prince s
bet, luckily for them. I doubt if this
has ever been approached in the history
of shooting. Xiuncheon was then an
nounced and the royal party, the guests
and Dr. (Jarver went to the palatial
dining room of Sandrigham. Though
the feast was plenteous and the carving
good, it could not excite the interest of
Carver on this occasion; so as soon as
the repast was was over the entire group
returned to the lawn, and our gallant
American hero resumed bis programme
by shooting at and breaking glass balls
thrown directly at him and across him m
front, and turning and hitting others
thrown across and behind him shooting
both right and left double shots at fall
ing balls. Then he shot at a glass ball
thrown in the air, missing it the first
three shots, but loading the rifle three
times while the ball is in the air, and
breaking it with the fourth shot before
it reached the ground. He shot mar
bles thrown indiscriminately in the air
bv the guests. The young princes threw
up shillings, and the doctor hit the en
tire sixteen without the slightest error or
false motion. In a word, there seemed
no end of variety in the fancy, plain,
scientific and artistic shots that our won
derful markesman executed. All looked
on with amused interest, nd even the
princes of Wales desired that Dr. Car
ver should be presented to her, upon
which she asked him many intelligent
questions on American prairie shooting,
hunting, etc.
" How many buffalo have you lulled is
a day, Dr. Carver? "
To this the doctor responds, "X have
shot a hundred in one day, madam."
The young princes then asked permis
sion to mount the doctor's horse Winne
mucca, and wanted to know the meaning
and derivation of the name.
He gave correct information to all
their inquiries, and at the same time
laughingly enjoyed their curiosity and
surprise. The prince of Wales then
selected one of Dr. Carver's rifles and
shot with an accuracy that aroused the
American s expressions of approval.
Yw el,sA. B.k11 nnnM " .
No. it is your rifle; for who could
shoot well after beholding your wonder
ful exploits. Dr. Carver?
" Will you do me the honor to accept

It is graciously accepted. The prince
then bsvs he will present the doctor with
a souvenir of his appreciation of the re-,
markable skill -be bad exhibited.
After expressing bia desire that Dr.
Carver should appear at Wimbledon tus
coming July and shoot before the great
shots of the kingdom, then the prihee
gave some instructions to the erfec to
Captain Mildmay, and the doctor thft he
would wait until he changed bis consume
and bade him good-bye for the present
In about twenty minutes the doctor re

The Crops ef the Country. -i -
. The returns to the department of agri

planted in ootton of somewhat over two
per cent. The percentage, as compared
with the acreage of 1878, ia as follows:
North Carolina, 41 counties reporting,

Arkansas, 40 counties, 101; Tennessee,
18 counties, 103. , The average condition
is not so high as last year, being 96,
while in 1878 it was 99. The stand is
generally good, but about two weeks late.
Winter Wheat. The June returns
show that the average condition of win
ter wheat is 90, against 98 last year. The
Pacific coast is considerably above the
average, Oregon rising to 104. The South
Atlantic States average 96, South Caro

tne other three states fall off 3 per cent.
Minnesota increases 9 per cent., while
Iowa decreases 1 per cent. The Middle
States fall off 10 per cent. The condition
oi Bpring wneat is aoout the same as
winter wheat 90, all the States being
below the average. The crop has been
subject to the same climatic influences
as winter wheat.
In the Territories wheat-raising has
aavancea westward more rapidly than
statistical inquiries have been able to
reach. There is a vast increase here,
whioh must be left to subsequent in

Piping Off Rlarara.
Sir William Thompson, professor of the
natural philosophy at the University of
uiasgow, oeueves tnat in the future the
Falls of Niagara will be used for the pro
duction of light and of mechanical power
over a large portion of North America.
To a Glasgow committee who were con
sidering the subject of the electric light,
he said that the electricity produced by
the fails might be advantageously con
ducted for hundreds of miles, and the
manufactories of whole towns might be
set in motion by it. Powerful copper
conductors would have to be used con
ductors of a tubular form, with water
flowing through them to keep them cool.
There would be no limit to the appli
cation of elictricity of a motive power;
it might do all the work that could be
done by steam engines of the. most pow
erful description.
He thought that the electric light was
most useful for lighthouse purposes, and
could be used with advantage as a mast
head light at sea to illuminate a long dis
tance ahead. Where the electric light
was used in buildings there should bea
system of ventilation through the floor.
As to the use of electricity by means of
Falls of Niagara, his idea was to drive
dynamis engines by water power in the
neighborhood of the Falls and then to
have conductors to transmit the force to
the places where illumination or the de
velopment of mechanical power was
wanted. There would be no danger of
terrible effects being brought obont acci
dentally by the use of such a terriffic
power, because the currents employed
would be continuous and not alternating.
