is just what the american peo ple are longing lor pi ay ing for and stout ly demanding from the national legisla tiue being in a position to catch the echoes of public opinion as they come from the people through the press in more than a thousand newspapers i have been amazed at the earnestness and unan imity already shown on this subject of na tional finance and he voice of the people which at first was only a mild protest has already swollen into a storm of fierce in dignation against those who have impov erished the country by bringing on a war of the ml i i lux all - m in-1 till million

reach it the better to hasten this glorious consummation he tugs away at the scn-w of contraction denounces ihe restoration of silver as repudiation and while every mouth shows many millions of los by failures and adds thousands to the great arm of bankrupts aud beggars he smiles serenely upob the wreck and tells the bond-holders of now york and london to fear nothing for they shall have even more

bringing practical resumption withoul any law on the subject the war ol in ants the forty-fifth congress will be mem orable in american history not so much on account of its intellectual greatness or its high ordei of statesmanship as from the fact that il must discuss and decide many questions of the most vital interest lo the whole nation the members are dropping in by lens do/ens and scores from the different points of the compass aud next thursday the struggle w ill com mence iu good earnest on some ques tions the two parties are split directly in half and sectionalism without menace oi direct antagonism will be a strong ele men in legislation the wis and south are rapidly and unifying and crystalizing into a great political power that will de mand not partiality to those sections bin even handed justice to all alike this sectionalism will crop out to some extent on the finances and especially on the sil ver bill but will exhibit its greatest pow er in efforts io advance the matkkial interests ok these great divisions of ihe world's repub lic to obtain such facilities for internal and foreign commerce for tweuty millions of people as will enable them to place their immense products in the markets of the world without sacrificing half of their value in charges for transportation they ask for the improvement of ihe mississippi and its leading tributaries the opening ol li great highway through the southwest to the pacific and the increase of our ipreign trade by proper encouragement to ocean lines of steamers the two last named objects can be achieved without subsidy in the ordinary meaning of thai term the texas & pacific com any which has already constructed about 500 miles of a transcontinental line between the waters of the mississippi ami the

terms of the bills now before cougress jn lac the government would be kept in then debt during the progress of construction by the transportation of troops mails aud telegraphic service but the grandest feature of this measure is the great ami immediate relief it would give t all the in hi est sand industries of the country . the rigorous prosecution of this work would at once open a field for a million of laborers some in tbe foundries machine shops and rolling mills others in the work of construc tion and many thousands in developing the rich mines and fruitful farms on the line of the toad it is doubtful if any wink is of greater national necessity or would biin greater benefits to the whole country than the building of this railway while imperatively demanded by the wants of the southwest its benefits would in distributed over the whole nation supplementary to this and alike bene ficial to all the states is the improvement and extension of oui immercial relation with the outside world this may be achieved and our old supremacy on the ocean restored by simple paying ocean lines ol steamers for transput ling foreign mails the resources and products of this country have been well advertised and millions of people in different coun u ies would be glad to trade with us and pay us fair prices for our material or art pro ducts ship builders and ship owners need nothing but the encouragement al luded to to induce them to establish trade relations with all the great markets of the world thus greatly increasing the aggie gate wealth of this nation and the revenues of

of congress and lire opened all along ihe line the little skirmish over ihe new york custom house appointments brought temporary success to the presi dent's enemies but whether the impe rial curls of new york's jovian senator are lo be adorned with the laurel wreath of final victory remains an open question to be settled at the capitol if the demo crats stand solidly by mr hayes the light will end in the disruption and de moralization of ihe party which placed him in power 1 l v the radical wiseacres have found out i i producers of tobacco and the distillers of whisky are uol affected by the burden some tax imposed upon these article tin der lh interna revenue law according to their philosophy only the consumers of these articles of luxury or necessity are iffei ■•(! ivj i he tax am hardly any sane person can be deceived by the pretence of the wicked producers ami distillers thai the fact is otherwise at least this is the view one washington luminary lakes of ihe question another takes high moral ground ami expresses the opinion thai mankind is in no degree benefitted by ihe production aud consumption of either and that an increase of the lax rather than a decrease iu liiese articles would be more consistent wit h the public welfare bul il does not need to go far lo find a reason for this sort of talk if the lax be taken from whisky and tobacco il will have lo be put somewhere else and whisky and tobacco are southern and western products and democratic institutions as the washington liepublican calls them and the radicals are opposed to giving the democrats any relief that will impose an additional burden upon the great radical institution of the country that is to say the inonej interest it is the same old story and but another illus tration of the way in which the money of the country seeks to make the labor of the country a slave to do its bidding — rah iglt observer a iy ill i'l-ix rll'tion — i'll one occa sion when i was ill the general called in

creatures i ever knew general jackson accompanied him to my room and alter my pulse had been duly felt and my tongue had been duly inspected they drew their chairs to the tire and began to talk hunt suddenly exclaimed the president how came you to gef such a young and pretty wife well i'll tell you replied the doctor "] was call to attend a lady at the coiivent in german town lb lives were bad j she had to keep them bandaged i cured her with out her ever having a distinct view of me she left the institution and a year after ward she appeared here in society a belle and a beauty at a ball i introduced myself without the slightest ulterior de sign as the physician who had restored her sight although 1 supposed she had in ei seen me she insi antly expressed the most heartfelt gratitude ii seemed so deep and genuine thai 1 was touched that very evening she informed me she had a severe cold and that i must again prescribe for her well il don't look reasonable but i did it i wrote my name on a slip of paper folded it and handed it i to in r telling her she must lake that pre scription she read i aud laughed it's [ u bitter pill she said and must be well | gilded if ever 1 take it but whether it was bitter or whether it was gilded we i were married a new year's caller widow van dusenbery's intervietc with the personal d — — . tin widow it was one bright crisp day the 1st of january is7 the wind was from the northwest hut not in the least boister ous the sky was blue and the sun shone brightly causing the snow which had fallen the night before to a sufficient depth to render sleigbiug on the avenue possible to sparkle brightly and make weak-eyed people wink when they looked out of doors a merry jingle of sleigh lells gave a cheerful sound in the air and everybody said happy new-year to everybody else with a hearty zest that plainly indicated sincerity aud enjoy ment every house on the magnificent avenue except here and there one where a small basket hung by a black ribbon on the door-bell was open to callers and inside were bright groups of pleasant ladies waiting amiably to receive the compli ments of lie season from the gentlemen of their acquaintance hut nowhere in the whole city could a prettier picture he seen of new york life on new-year's day than in the parlor of widow duseubery it was a line house with a brown-stone front and bay window ami it contained a good many line things besides the fine lady herself who on this particular oc casion was the only visible occupant of her richly-decorated drawing-room the widow has been fortunate in marrying a member of an old knickerbocker family : she adopted all his ancestors as her own ami furnished her apartments with all the quaint old furuiture that old families are popularly supposed lo leave to their de scendants < mil china old clocks diugy looking portraits in tarnishad gilt frames culious cabinet anil queer glasses ami faience dishes abounded in all her rooms which she had bought at auctions and if people chose to imagine that they were heirlooms brought from holland by her ancestors when they came over with hen drick hudson in the half moon il was none of her business to correct their mis take hut she by no means wanted to be considered old herself quite the con trary her hair was scan i and grey ; but she wore perfectly lovely tresses of a rich brown hue which had once belonged to si peasant girl of brittany and al though it was litany years sine her cheeks had been in the least suggestive of a dam ask rose on this occasion they were so skillfully tinted by her own maid thai no one would suspect the complexion was not her owu — as indeed i was but if l.ei complexion was not real her diamonds and laces were and they harmonized most admirably with her dove-colored satin dress and her pearl-handled mar about fan not only did the widow's taste run iu | the direction of old furniture and old families but she preferred the old relig ous forms to the new and she had one of the most high-priced pews in the church | of st bonifacios which was very high aud ritualistic and she enjoyed the rere dos the candles on the altar the boy choir the purple chasuble of father lan sing the acolytes the thurrible and all the other ornamental accessories of that fashionable place of worship immensely she believed in a personal i — -, and would not have yielded her faith on that point for any consideration like a good many other good people who begin the new year with good reso lutions the widow van duseubery had resolved lo turn over a new leaf and in augurate a reform movement she had always been charitably inclined aud had subscribed very generously to the anti mendicity society : but owing to ihe fail ure of the rainbow insurance company she had been a considerable loser and her income was diminished to such an extent that she had been compelled to sell her coach-horses aud to dismiss two of her servants aud she was now trying to rub along in a quiet way with only three maid servants aud a one-horse cab in which she did her shopping aud took her airings in the park it was a rather humiliating condition to be placed in her husband had cruelly left her with the miserable in come of only 30,000 : out of which she had to defray her own expenses and main tain her only child a promising boy of j who was then completing his ednca tiou in paris after having visited the holy land and egypt the name of this precious youth was balthazar but she called him bait be cause that was the way they called his uncle,aftcr whom he was named and whose property he was expected to inher it it was for his sake that she had de termined to turn over a new leaf it was time she began to save up somethiug against halt's return ; for the poor boy had met with several little accidents which required his overdrawing the sums he had allotted for his european expenses scarcely had she seated herself in her parlor with her feet resting npou a per sian rug and a glowing cannel-coal fire lighting iiji her handsome features than she had an opportunity for putting into practical shape her new resolution there was a ring at the door-bell and the widow wondered who her first caller would be when bridget entered the parlor and pet ishly exclaimed : it's only a beggar boy i who says he wants something to eat drive him away said the widow with a look of disappointment it's too bad that people who live on the avenue should be so troubled with beggars we pay taxes enough to be protected from beggrrs and burglars and book agents i am sure don't let one of them come into the hall door they are the plague of my life another ring at the hall door for it was now noon and the sound of bells and carriages and merry voices were heard out of doors the duty of callers had com menced in earnest bridget came into the parlor again with a small package in her band addressed to the lady of the house this was something worth having in deed what a graceful and pleasant re minder it was to be sure of the good old times it was a long slender flask cov ered with gilt labels certifying to its be ing a genuine product of the famous con vent of the chartreus and attached to it was a card bearing the compliments of the season from pilford & co choice family groceries etc what a pleasant thing it is to be re membered in so delicate a manner on new-year's day said the widow char treus was always my favorite liqueur it is such a religious cordial coming direct from the hands of those holy monks at the chartreus what a lovely color it is !" it was indeed lovely for it was the i golden colored and not the green : and the widow said she must have a taste of it tit once instead of placing it on the re freshment table iu the extension she ordered bridget to bring a little japan ■stand and place it at her side with a sil ver waiter and some liqueur-glasses so that when one of her intimate friends i came iu she could ask him to take a drop ! of the desicious cordial with her she drank one ghiss of it and fouud it o much to her liking that she could not well resist tlie temptation to try another it was so fragrant so delicate so sweet and i m smooth ! the wish most people who knew the widow van dusenbery imagined that she had every thing that heart could desire ; but she had a capacious heart which was capable of desiring a good many things that fortune had withheld from her for herself she did not care she could live if necessary upon the hull i-t u bean ; but she could ;; >'. endure the idea of anything being de nied h r darling boy . she had indulged in many ambitious schemes for the pro motion of his happiness and as she sat musing upon the possibilities of the fu tire she heard the cheerful tooting of a tin trumpet which announced the coming of a coach driven by a number of the four-in-hand club there they go !" she exclaimed in a half-reproachful tone but ii bait were ill home he could not afford to keep a drag he would be compelled to amuse himself with billiards and cigars poor boy it is too bad and a pearly tear meandered down the widow's check dividing her complexion iu a very curious manner i wish she said to herself that i had 100,000 that i could gi vi him as a new-year's present when he comes back from his european tour li would be such a delightful sti prise to him : ami then he could drive a coach of his own a hundred thousand dollars is not such a very unreasonable sum said the gentleman whom the widow just at that moment discovered by her side but whose entrance she had not before noticed 1 think myself it is very reasonable she said and 1 don't see why i could not have ii j yon shall have it my dear mad am said the stranger such modesty and maternal tenderness as you have i manifested iu your very reasonable de sires must be rewarded and thereupon the stranger drew from his bosom ii bundle of grecusbacks which lie reached her on which was distinctly inscribed 100,000 thank you ! i am overcome by your goodness she said as she took the bundle and placed it on the little table beside the flask of chartreuse won't you take a glass of this delicious liqueur .'" she said i never drink replied the stranger solemnly but this is a cordial made by the monks of chartreuse said the widow so much the worse said the stranger t hate monks and all their works this was said with such a bitterness of tone thai the widow looked into the lace of her visitor and saw that he was a very saintly-looking personage hehad a very pale complexion regular features black hair and eye thin lips and a clean-shav en face he was dressed exactly in the style of a ritualist high churchman a long-skirted black frock coat with a nar row collar that fitted closely to his neck i waist-coat which had no opening in front and a misty black band around his throat in truth he looked so nearly like the rev brown stout who sometimes of ficiated at the altar in st bouifacius that the widow felt confident he must boa truly good man and it would be disre spectful to him to ask where he came from . it is a favorite maxim of mine said the stranger in an impressive tone of voice that to be virtuous is to be happy but you won't have a good time 1 the widow would have smiled at the odd remark of her visitor but he winked his right eye at her in such a wicked man ner that it caused a cold chill to creep over her was there anything more that you desired said the stranger in a persua sive manner really now said the widow ahnu dred thousand dollars is such a small sum and it would make such a small show alongside of the fortunes of some of my dear bait's acquaintances ifit were on ly two hundred thousand i should feel quite content oh ! very well replied the stranger : and putting his hand to his breast he took out another bundle just like the first one which he placed in the widow's hip is there anything else you desire what a simpleton i was said the wid ow to herself to make such a moderate demand and as she looked at the two bundles of greenbacks they really seem ed hardly worth having since you are so very kind replied the widow may i be so bold as to ask you to make up the sum to five hundred thousand ? it will be such i delightful surprise to bait when he comes home to find such a fortune at his disposal i hope you will not think me unreasonable i beg you will make no apologies my dear madam said the stranger while a grim smile seemed to flicker across his pale features anything may be for given to a mother's love your desire shall be gratified the stranger there upon placed another but larger bundle of greenbacks upon her lap making up the desired sum she clutched at them eagerly but hardly had she got them in her posessiou than she felt chagrined at her mistake in not demanding more to i;i continued hayes standing film his position defined by himself he will exhaust his constitutional powers /.• promote lief arm from the washington post of thursday while mr hayes declines to be inter viewed in regular form upon any public topic he do s not liesita c to express bis views to those who call upon him in a personal way he deprecates the eii which are being made in various quarters j to prolong popular aggitatiou aud per petuate sectional feeling not because of its reflection upon him or his motives but because it tends to exasperate the people of both sections and thus to prevent that clear understanding between the north and south which is essential to the resto ration of perfect unity of patriotic senti ment he expresses the belief however that the utterances of those who in their capacity of managing politicians are seek ing to stir up strife will not find among the masses of the northern people any considerable response that when the congressional campaign comes on it will be found that the people are no longer excitable over these topics aud that the managing politicians finding no material io work upon will soon abandon their anti-southern programme as for other matters of public policy mr hayes remarks that he has seen no cause to reconsider any action of the past generally speaking and no reason to mod ify any purposes which he may have formed or announced at any previous pe riod of his administration without re ferring specifically to the new york ap pointment but evidently having them in mind he observed that he had not been moved by the action of the senate either to abate his desire of carrying out the policy generally known as civil service reform or to despair of final success in the selection of instrumentalities to that end he would neither deny nor affirm the statement that had been made in the press relative to his design of greeting congress next week with a special mes sage on that subject but ir was true that he intended to exhaust his constitutional powers in the promotion of such reforms the most remarkable thing that he said was that no plea or remonstrance based upon purely partisan consideration would have auy weight with him no matter by whom it might be made and that he at tached importance to those representa tions only which were put upon the ground of the general public welfare he intimated that there had been of late u cessation of party appeal to him which was i relief because his love for the name of republican aud bis reverence for lin early traditions of his party was so strong that it was not easy or pleasant to him to resist appeals made for their sake partic ularly when such appeals came from meu whom he had always delighted to honor but the responsibilities of his position placed duty above personal feelings and in his efforts to keep the faith of bis in augural with the whole people he should not hesitate to proceed contrary to the advice of individuals however dear they might be to him personally whenevei it seemed to him and his constitutional ad visers—or rather to the collective judg ment of his administration that such ad vice was contrary to the letter and spirit of the promises he had made to the couu i gov.vanoe ox the dolored militia pliil.-ul.-lphia tineas ind a good deal has been said in the last few days about some alleged disloyal ut terances by two of the state officials ot north carolina at an emancipation cele bration in raleigh governor vance was charged with a churlish reception of the colored people who went to pay their re spects to him as their chief magistrate aud with disowning the amendment that incorporated the principle of universal freedom in the ( institution full reports by mail put a different face on the matter governor vance frankly said that having fought against emancipation he could hardly be expected to rejoice as his visi tors did over it but he was careful to add : you have a right fo exp6ct that having acquiesced with the people of the south in the results of the revolution i should as governor of north carolina recognize you as citizens and should re spect all the rights with which the laws have invested you this said he 1 always have done and always shall do and that cheerfully he then made a very sensible speech entering heartily into the spirit of the occasion ami giving ihe colored folks some sound advice that governor vauce is not the bourbon that he is paii ud was attested by the remarks ol the colored orator of

backs this is just what the american peo ple are longing lor pi ay ing for and stout ly demanding from the national legisla tiue being in a position to catch the echoes of public opinion as they come from the people through the press in more than a thousand newspapers i have been amazed at the earnestness and unan imity already shown on this subject of na tional finance and he voice of the people which at first was only a mild protest has already swollen into a storm of fierce in dignation against those who have impov erished the country by bringing on a war of the ml i i lux all - m in-1 till million lohn sherman has been con veiled from the doctrine he preached ten years ago thai the 5.20 bonds should be paid in law ful money . and gone over to the gold bul lionist who say thai silver aud green backs will do very well for farmers and mechanics but bond-holders will have nothing bin mild he gives us the en couraging assurance that the country is fast approaching hard pan and the soou or we reach it the better to hasten this glorious consummation he tugs away at the scn-w of contraction denounces ihe restoration of silver as repudiation and while every mouth shows many millions of los by failures and adds thousands to the great arm of bankrupts aud beggars he smiles serenely upob the wreck and tells the bond-holders of now york and london to fear nothing for they shall have even more than their pound of flesh tin ri.i ifi.i vnotiieir representatives the month's recess in congress may prove the salvation of the country for representatives everywhere have had a chance t meet

bringing practical resumption withoul any law on the subject the war ol in ants the forty-fifth congress will be mem orable in american history not so much on account of its intellectual greatness or its high ordei of statesmanship as from the fact that il must discuss and decide many questions of the most vital interest lo the whole nation the members are dropping in by lens do/ens and scores from the different points of the compass aud next thursday the struggle w ill com mence iu good earnest on some ques tions the two parties are split directly in half and sectionalism without menace oi direct antagonism will be a strong ele men in legislation the wis and south are rapidly and unifying and crystalizing into a great political power that will de mand not partiality to those sections bin even handed justice to all alike this sectionalism will crop out to some extent on the finances and especially on the sil ver bill but will exhibit its greatest pow er in efforts io advance the matkkial interests ok these great divisions of ihe world's repub lic to obtain such facilities for internal and foreign commerce for tweuty millions of people as will enable them to place their immense products in the markets of the world without sacrificing half of their value in charges for transportation they ask for the improvement of ihe mississippi and its leading tributaries the opening ol li great highway through the southwest to the pacific and the increase of our ipreign trade by proper encouragement to ocean lines of steamers the two last named objects can be achieved without subsidy in the ordinary meaning of thai term the texas & pacific com any which has already constructed about 500 miles of a transcontinental line between the waters of the mississippi ami the

terms of the bills now before cougress jn lac the government would be kept in then debt during the progress of construction by the transportation of troops mails aud telegraphic service but the grandest feature of this measure is the great ami immediate relief it would give t all the in hi est sand industries of the country . the rigorous prosecution of this work would at once open a field for a million of laborers some in tbe foundries machine shops and rolling mills others in the work of construc tion and many thousands in developing the rich mines and fruitful farms on the line of the toad it is doubtful if any wink is of greater national necessity or would biin greater benefits to the whole country than the building of this railway while imperatively demanded by the wants of the southwest its benefits would in distributed over the whole nation supplementary to this and alike bene ficial to all the states is the improvement and extension of oui immercial relation with the outside world this may be achieved and our old supremacy on the ocean restored by simple paying ocean lines ol steamers for transput ling foreign mails the resources and products of this country have been well advertised and millions of people in different coun u ies would be glad to trade with us and pay us fair prices for our material or art pro ducts ship builders and ship owners need nothing but the encouragement al luded to to induce them to establish trade relations with all the great markets of the world thus greatly increasing the aggie gate wealth of this nation and the revenues of

of congress and lire opened all along ihe line the little skirmish over ihe new york custom house appointments brought temporary success to the presi dent's enemies but whether the impe rial curls of new york's jovian senator are lo be adorned with the laurel wreath of final victory remains an open question to be settled at the capitol if the demo crats stand solidly by mr hayes the light will end in the disruption and de moralization of ihe party which placed him in power 1 l v the radical wiseacres have found out i i producers of tobacco and the distillers of whisky are uol affected by the burden some tax imposed upon these article tin der lh interna revenue law according to their philosophy only the consumers of these articles of luxury or necessity are iffei ■•(! ivj i he tax am hardly any sane person can be deceived by the pretence of the wicked producers ami distillers thai the fact is otherwise at least this is the view one washington luminary lakes of ihe question another takes high moral ground ami expresses the opinion thai mankind is in no degree benefitted by ihe production aud consumption of either and that an increase of the lax rather than a decrease iu liiese articles would be more consistent wit h the public welfare bul il does not need to go far lo find a reason for this sort of talk if the lax be taken from whisky and tobacco il will have lo be put somewhere else and whisky and tobacco are southern and western products and democratic institutions as the washington liepublican calls them and the radicals are opposed to giving the democrats any relief that will impose an additional burden upon the great radical institution of the country that is to say the inonej interest it is the same old story and but another illus tration of the way in which the money of the country seeks to make the labor of the country a slave to do its bidding — rah iglt observer a iy ill i'l-ix rll'tion — i'll one occa sion when i was ill the general called in

creatures i ever knew general jackson accompanied him to my room and alter my pulse had been duly felt and my tongue had been duly inspected they drew their chairs to the tire and began to talk hunt suddenly exclaimed the president how came you to gef such a young and pretty wife well i'll tell you replied the doctor "] was call to attend a lady at the coiivent in german town lb lives were bad j she had to keep them bandaged i cured her with out her ever having a distinct view of me she left the institution and a year after ward she appeared here in society a belle and a beauty at a ball i introduced myself without the slightest ulterior de sign as the physician who had restored her sight although 1 supposed she had in ei seen me she insi antly expressed the most heartfelt gratitude ii seemed so deep and genuine thai 1 was touched that very evening she informed me she had a severe cold and that i must again prescribe for her well il don't look reasonable but i did it i wrote my name on a slip of paper folded it and handed it i to in r telling her she must lake that pre scription she read i aud laughed it's [ u bitter pill she said and must be well | gilded if ever 1 take it but whether it was bitter or whether it was gilded we i were married a new year's caller widow van dusenbery's intervietc with the personal d — — . tin widow it was one bright crisp day the 1st of january is7 the wind was from the northwest hut not in the least boister ous the sky was blue and the sun shone brightly causing the snow which had fallen the night before to a sufficient depth to render sleigbiug on the avenue possible to sparkle brightly and make weak-eyed people wink when they looked out of doors a merry jingle of sleigh lells gave a cheerful sound in the air and everybody said happy new-year to everybody else with a hearty zest that plainly indicated sincerity aud enjoy ment every house on the magnificent avenue except here and there one where a small basket hung by a black ribbon on the door-bell was open to callers and inside were bright groups of pleasant ladies waiting amiably to receive the compli ments of lie season from the gentlemen of their acquaintance hut nowhere in the whole city could a prettier picture he seen of new york life on new-year's day than in the parlor of widow duseubery it was a line house with a brown-stone front and bay window ami it contained a good many line things besides the fine lady herself who on this particular oc casion was the only visible occupant of her richly-decorated drawing-room the widow has been fortunate in marrying a member of an old knickerbocker family : she adopted all his ancestors as her own ami furnished her apartments with all the quaint old furuiture that old families are popularly supposed lo leave to their de scendants < mil china old clocks diugy looking portraits in tarnishad gilt frames culious cabinet anil queer glasses ami faience dishes abounded in all her rooms which she had bought at auctions and if people chose to imagine that they were heirlooms brought from holland by her ancestors when they came over with hen drick hudson in the half moon il was none of her business to correct their mis take hut she by no means wanted to be considered old herself quite the con trary her hair was scan i and grey ; but she wore perfectly lovely tresses of a rich brown hue which had once belonged to si peasant girl of brittany and al though it was litany years sine her cheeks had been in the least suggestive of a dam ask rose on this occasion they were so skillfully tinted by her own maid thai no one would suspect the complexion was not her owu — as indeed i was but if l.ei complexion was not real her diamonds and laces were and they harmonized most admirably with her dove-colored satin dress and her pearl-handled mar about fan not only did the widow's taste run iu | the direction of old furniture and old families but she preferred the old relig ous forms to the new and she had one of the most high-priced pews in the church | of st bonifacios which was very high aud ritualistic and she enjoyed the rere dos the candles on the altar the boy choir the purple chasuble of father lan sing the acolytes the thurrible and all the other ornamental accessories of that fashionable place of worship immensely she believed in a personal i — -, and would not have yielded her faith on that point for any consideration like a good many other good people who begin the new year with good reso lutions the widow van duseubery had resolved lo turn over a new leaf and in augurate a reform movement she had always been charitably inclined aud had subscribed very generously to the anti mendicity society : but owing to ihe fail ure of the rainbow insurance company she had been a considerable loser and her income was diminished to such an extent that she had been compelled to sell her coach-horses aud to dismiss two of her servants aud she was now trying to rub along in a quiet way with only three maid servants aud a one-horse cab in which she did her shopping aud took her airings in the park it was a rather humiliating condition to be placed in her husband had cruelly left her with the miserable in come of only 30,000 : out of which she had to defray her own expenses and main tain her only child a promising boy of j who was then completing his ednca tiou in paris after having visited the holy land and egypt the name of this precious youth was balthazar but she called him bait be cause that was the way they called his uncle,aftcr whom he was named and whose property he was expected to inher it it was for his sake that she had de termined to turn over a new leaf it was time she began to save up somethiug against halt's return ; for the poor boy had met with several little accidents which required his overdrawing the sums he had allotted for his european expenses scarcely had she seated herself in her parlor with her feet resting npou a per sian rug and a glowing cannel-coal fire lighting iiji her handsome features than she had an opportunity for putting into practical shape her new resolution there was a ring at the door-bell and the widow wondered who her first caller would be when bridget entered the parlor and pet ishly exclaimed : it's only a beggar boy i who says he wants something to eat drive him away said the widow with a look of disappointment it's too bad that people who live on the avenue should be so troubled with beggars we pay taxes enough to be protected from beggrrs and burglars and book agents i am sure don't let one of them come into the hall door they are the plague of my life another ring at the hall door for it was now noon and the sound of bells and carriages and merry voices were heard out of doors the duty of callers had com menced in earnest bridget came into the parlor again with a small package in her band addressed to the lady of the house this was something worth having in deed what a graceful and pleasant re minder it was to be sure of the good old times it was a long slender flask cov ered with gilt labels certifying to its be ing a genuine product of the famous con vent of the chartreus and attached to it was a card bearing the compliments of the season from pilford & co choice family groceries etc what a pleasant thing it is to be re membered in so delicate a manner on new-year's day said the widow char treus was always my favorite liqueur it is such a religious cordial coming direct from the hands of those holy monks at the chartreus what a lovely color it is !" it was indeed lovely for it was the i golden colored and not the green : and the widow said she must have a taste of it tit once instead of placing it on the re freshment table iu the extension she ordered bridget to bring a little japan ■stand and place it at her side with a sil ver waiter and some liqueur-glasses so that when one of her intimate friends i came iu she could ask him to take a drop ! of the desicious cordial with her she drank one ghiss of it and fouud it o much to her liking that she could not well resist tlie temptation to try another it was so fragrant so delicate so sweet and i m smooth ! the wish most people who knew the widow van dusenbery imagined that she had every thing that heart could desire ; but she had a capacious heart which was capable of desiring a good many things that fortune had withheld from her for herself she did not care she could live if necessary upon the hull i-t u bean ; but she could ;; >'. endure the idea of anything being de nied h r darling boy . she had indulged in many ambitious schemes for the pro motion of his happiness and as she sat musing upon the possibilities of the fu tire she heard the cheerful tooting of a tin trumpet which announced the coming of a coach driven by a number of the four-in-hand club there they go !" she exclaimed in a half-reproachful tone but ii bait were ill home he could not afford to keep a drag he would be compelled to amuse himself with billiards and cigars poor boy it is too bad and a pearly tear meandered down the widow's check dividing her complexion iu a very curious manner i wish she said to herself that i had 100,000 that i could gi vi him as a new-year's present when he comes back from his european tour li would be such a delightful sti prise to him : ami then he could drive a coach of his own a hundred thousand dollars is not such a very unreasonable sum said the gentleman whom the widow just at that moment discovered by her side but whose entrance she had not before noticed 1 think myself it is very reasonable she said and 1 don't see why i could not have ii j yon shall have it my dear mad am said the stranger such modesty and maternal tenderness as you have i manifested iu your very reasonable de sires must be rewarded and thereupon the stranger drew from his bosom ii bundle of grecusbacks which lie reached her on which was distinctly inscribed 100,000 thank you ! i am overcome by your goodness she said as she took the bundle and placed it on the little table beside the flask of chartreuse won't you take a glass of this delicious liqueur .'" she said i never drink replied the stranger solemnly but this is a cordial made by the monks of chartreuse said the widow so much the worse said the stranger t hate monks and all their works this was said with such a bitterness of tone thai the widow looked into the lace of her visitor and saw that he was a very saintly-looking personage hehad a very pale complexion regular features black hair and eye thin lips and a clean-shav en face he was dressed exactly in the style of a ritualist high churchman a long-skirted black frock coat with a nar row collar that fitted closely to his neck i waist-coat which had no opening in front and a misty black band around his throat in truth he looked so nearly like the rev brown stout who sometimes of ficiated at the altar in st bouifacius that the widow felt confident he must boa truly good man and it would be disre spectful to him to ask where he came from . it is a favorite maxim of mine said the stranger in an impressive tone of voice that to be virtuous is to be happy but you won't have a good time 1 the widow would have smiled at the odd remark of her visitor but he winked his right eye at her in such a wicked man ner that it caused a cold chill to creep over her was there anything more that you desired said the stranger in a persua sive manner really now said the widow ahnu dred thousand dollars is such a small sum and it would make such a small show alongside of the fortunes of some of my dear bait's acquaintances ifit were on ly two hundred thousand i should feel quite content oh ! very well replied the stranger : and putting his hand to his breast he took out another bundle just like the first one which he placed in the widow's hip is there anything else you desire what a simpleton i was said the wid ow to herself to make such a moderate demand and as she looked at the two bundles of greenbacks they really seem ed hardly worth having since you are so very kind replied the widow may i be so bold as to ask you to make up the sum to five hundred thousand ? it will be such i delightful surprise to bait when he comes home to find such a fortune at his disposal i hope you will not think me unreasonable i beg you will make no apologies my dear madam said the stranger while a grim smile seemed to flicker across his pale features anything may be for given to a mother's love your desire shall be gratified the stranger there upon placed another but larger bundle of greenbacks upon her lap making up the desired sum she clutched at them eagerly but hardly had she got them in her posessiou than she felt chagrined at her mistake in not demanding more to i;i continued hayes standing film his position defined by himself he will exhaust his constitutional powers /.• promote lief arm from the washington post of thursday while mr hayes declines to be inter viewed in regular form upon any public topic he do s not liesita c to express bis views to those who call upon him in a personal way he deprecates the eii which are being made in various quarters j to prolong popular aggitatiou aud per petuate sectional feeling not because of its reflection upon him or his motives but because it tends to exasperate the people of both sections and thus to prevent that clear understanding between the north and south which is essential to the resto ration of perfect unity of patriotic senti ment he expresses the belief however that the utterances of those who in their capacity of managing politicians are seek ing to stir up strife will not find among the masses of the northern people any considerable response that when the congressional campaign comes on it will be found that the people are no longer excitable over these topics aud that the managing politicians finding no material io work upon will soon abandon their anti-southern programme as for other matters of public policy mr hayes remarks that he has seen no cause to reconsider any action of the past generally speaking and no reason to mod ify any purposes which he may have formed or announced at any previous pe riod of his administration without re ferring specifically to the new york ap pointment but evidently having them in mind he observed that he had not been moved by the action of the senate either to abate his desire of carrying out the policy generally known as civil service reform or to despair of final success in the selection of instrumentalities to that end he would neither deny nor affirm the statement that had been made in the press relative to his design of greeting congress next week with a special mes sage on that subject but ir was true that he intended to exhaust his constitutional powers in the promotion of such reforms the most remarkable thing that he said was that no plea or remonstrance based upon purely partisan consideration would have auy weight with him no matter by whom it might be made and that he at tached importance to those representa tions only which were put upon the ground of the general public welfare he intimated that there had been of late u cessation of party appeal to him which was i relief because his love for the name of republican aud bis reverence for lin early traditions of his party was so strong that it was not easy or pleasant to him to resist appeals made for their sake partic ularly when such appeals came from meu whom he had always delighted to honor but the responsibilities of his position placed duty above personal feelings and in his efforts to keep the faith of bis in augural with the whole people he should not hesitate to proceed contrary to the advice of individuals however dear they might be to him personally whenevei it seemed to him and his constitutional ad visers—or rather to the collective judg ment of his administration that such ad vice was contrary to the letter and spirit of the promises he had made to the couu i gov.vanoe ox the dolored militia pliil.-ul.-lphia tineas ind a good deal has

citizens and should re spect all the rights with which the laws have invested you this said he 1 always have done and always shall do and that cheerfully he then made a very sensible speech entering
