I had only been home three months when father went away.” I had learned more than l could have anticipated. Here, surely, at leugth was the strongest presumptive, if not direct, evidence that Mr. I-acroix, and not another, had dropped the ticket, and therefore that lie had come home, f imagined him traveling from London Bridge to Croydon to pay, perhaps, hia daughter's school bill, and returning a different way, although lie had taken a return ticket to London Bridge. This struck me as agreeing with all I had heard of Mr. Lacroix— careless of money, and without much steady con- stetent purpose. How easily such a man must have become subject to the resolute Steinhardt! It occurred to me that it would not lie impossible to learn front the Croy­ don school mistna- whether Mr. La- croix had called on her. With a few questions as to the si/.e, situation and character of the school, I learned the name and address of the school mis­ tress; and as soon as I returned to my lodgings I wrote to her. On the second morning after I received her reply, which I treasured along with the rail way ticket as invaluable evidence— a polite note, presenting compliments and begging to inform that on referring to her books and her diary, she found that Mr. Lacriox had called and paid a term’s charges for his daughter's "fin ­ ishing” education, on Wednesday, March the fifteenth, eighteen hundred and eighty-two.

Ixmdon, May 13. — A dispatch to the Time* from St. Thomas, D. W. I., says that St. Pierre was destroyed in the twinkling of an eye, and that not 40 of the inhabitants of the city escaped. Some of the outlying parishes of the Island of Martinique have been inun­ dated. The whole northern |>ortion of the island is burning, ami has been denuded of vegetation, ami is a rocky wilderness. The latest news received here from St. Vincent, continues the correspondent, says the numlter of dead there is supposed to reach 500, the ma­ jority of whom have not boon buried. It is reported that Fort de F ranee, Island of Marinique, is threatened, con­ cludes the correspondent, and there is frightful tension everywhere. Successful attempts have been made to reach St. Pierre. Cabling from St. Lucia, the correspondent of the Daily Mail says the town is a heap of ruins and dead bodies are lying all around. Few ever will Ire recognized, so great is the mutilation ami distortion. Search parties have found 3,000 charred bodies on the site ol the cathe­ dral.

THREE NEW 8TAR8. Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico Admitted to Statehood. Washington, May 2.— The house resuine»l consideration of the omnibus statehood bill immediately after the reading of the journal. The pending amendment was that of Mr. Overstreet, of Indinaa, to consolidate New Mexico and Arizona and submit them as the state of Montezuma, or such other name as the »-onstitutional convention should elt*;t. The opposition to the bill had united upon this amendment and had »ietermine«! to make a strong effort to adopt it. Overstreet made a vigorous speech, arguing that its pur­ pose was to benefit the people of the two territories, but the amendment was defeateil by a vote of 28 to 106. A tew verbal amendments offered by the committee were adopted, and the bill »ca th en passed without division. The bill as passed provides enabling acts for Oklahoma, Arizona and New Mexico, similar in form to former enabling acts, with the exception that the constitutional convention of New Mexico is empowered to designate the name by which the new state shell enter the Union and in the case of Ok­ lahoma the convention by irrevocable ordinance shall express the consent of that state that congress at r.ny future time may attach all or any part of Indian Territory to it. The enabling acts differ from one another chiefly in reference to the public lands appro­ priated for education and public pur- |H)ses. SO LD D I8 E A 8 E D MEAT.
