THE PORTENT. k Story of tha Inner Vision of lh« Highlanders, Commonly Called the Second Sight. By GKO IN 5 K MACDONALD. (’IIAITKII I. p mv iinviiooi). M,v father belonged to the wide spread family of the Campbells, and posveKsed u small landed property In the north of Argyll. Hut although of long descent and high connection, lie was no richer than many a farmer of n few hundred acres. For. with the exception of a narrow licit of nraldo hind at Its font, a Imre hill formed al most the whole of Ills |sissesslous. The sheep ate over It. and no doubt found It good. 1 hounded and climbed nil over It, and thought It n kingdom. From my very childhood. I had re joiced In being alone. The sense of room about me had been one of my greatest delights, lienee, when my thoughts go back to those old years It Is not the house, nor the family room, nor that In which 1 slept, that first of all rises before my Inward vlshn. hut that desolate bill, the top of which was only a wide expanse of moorland, rugged with height and hol low. and dangerous with deep, dark pools, hut In many portions purple with large-belled heather, and crowd ed with cranberry and blueberry plants. I lu re was one spot upon tlio hill, Imlf way ltetwis'ii (ho valley ami tlm inuoi'laml, which was my favorite haunt. Tills part of the hill was eov ereil with great blocks of stone, of all sliapes anil sizes here erowileil to gether, like Hie slain where the battle hail been Hereout; there parting nsun ilel* from spaces of itelieate green— , of softest grass, In the center of one of those green s|>ols, oil a steep part of tlie hill, were three huge rocks two project Ini; out of the hill, rather than standing up from it, anil one, likewise projecting from tlie hill, but lying across tlie tops of tlie two, so as lo form a little cave. This was my refuge, my home within a home, my simly ntiil, in tlie Imt noons, often my ale-ping chamber, ami my house of dreams. ( tin tlie opposite siile of the valley, another liill lay parallel to mine, ami behliiil It, at some miles' illstane", a Bt'ent mountain. As often as. In my hermit's cave, l lifted my eyes from the volume 1 was reading 1 saw this mountain before me. Very different was its character from timt of the hill on which I was seated. It was a Y mighty thlntr, a chieftain of the race, 'aiiieil and scared, rent tired with chasms and pnadplccs and overhauling reeks, themselves as Inure as hills; here blackened with shade, there over spt'ciul with glory: Interlaced with the silvery lines of falling streams, which, hurrying from heaven to earth, cared not how they went, so It was down ward. Fearful stories were told of the null's, sullen watirs, and ill/.r.y heights 1V\.. upon that terror-haunted mountain. In t #1 Momim^Uie w ind roared like thunder In Its caverns and along the lagged sides of Its elm's, but at other times that uplifted laud uplifted, yet secret v ‘ and full of dismay—lay silent as a cloud on the horizon. *.*'• t ’tie summer evening I had lingered longer than usual in my rocky re treat; I had lain half dreaming in the month or my cave till the shadows of evening had fallen, and the gloaming had diH'petted hall' way toward the nlelit. V"' ••i | - i;.. ■i * p' Si, ; t: The mountain rose before mo a Inigo mass of gloom bet Us several 1 >oaUs stood out against the sky with a dear, pure, slmrp outline, and looked nearer to me than the hulk from which they rose heavenward. One star trembled and throbbed upon the very tip of the loftiest, the central peak, which seemed the spire of a illicitly temple where the lljrht was worshiped—crowned, therefore. In the darkness, with the emblem of the day, I was lying, as 1 have said, with this fancy still In my thought. when sud denly 1 heard, clear,, though faint, a.ttd far away, the sound us of an Iron-shod hoofs of a horse, in a furious callup, alone an uneven rocky surface. There was a peculiarity, too. In the sound— a certain tinkle, or elattk. which t fancied myself aide, lty auricular anal ysis. to distinguish from the body of the sound. A terror—strange even to my experience-seated me, and l hast ened heme. The sounds gradually died away, as 1 descended the hill. Could they have been an echo from some precipice of the mountain? I knew of no road lying so that, if a horse were galloping upon It, the sounds would be reflected from the mountains to me. The next day. in one of my rambles, X found myself near the cottage of my old foster-mother, who was distantly related to us. and was a trusted ser vant iu the family at the time I was horn. For some years she lived alone In a cottage, at the bottom of a deep green circular hollow, upon which. In walking over a heathy tableland, one came with a sudden surprise. I was her frequent visitor. She was n tall, thin, aged woman, with eager eyes, and well debited, elear-eat features. Her voice was harsh, but with an un idertoue of great tenderness. She was scrupulously careful In her attire, which was rather above her station. Altogether, she had much the bearing of a gentlewoman, ller devotion to me was quite motherly. Never having bad any family of her own, although she had been the wife of one of my father’s shepherds, she expended tne whole maternity of her nature upon me. She was my first resource in any perplexity, for 1 was sure of all the li; Ip she could give me. I ran down the side of the basin, and ■entered the little cottage. Nurse was seated on a chair by the wall, with her usual knitting, a stocking, in one baud: but her hands were motionless, and her eyes wide open and fixed. 1 knew that the neighbors stood rather in awe of her, on the ground that she had the second sight: ’out, although idle often told ns frightful enough stories, the had never alluded to such si gift as being in her possession. Now 1 concluded at once that she was see ing. I was confirmed iu this conclu siuo when, seeming to come to herself suddenly, she covered her head with her plal'l. and subbed audibly, in spite of her efforts to command herself. But I ni|it any excuse for her hchitvlnr. After n few mo ments, »die unveiled herself. riwe, nnd weleomed tint with her usual kindness; then pit me Willie refreshment, mill tiepin to i| nest I* *ii me ti I it it tt matters lit Inline.

It occurred to me to mention that I had heard an odd sound the night before. She turned toward me, and looked at me llxedly. “What was It. like, Duncan, my dear?" "Dike a horse pilloplng with a loose shoe,” I replied. “Duncan, Duncan, my darling!" she wild.

Yet I do not suppose that he foresaw the mode in whleh his hatred was about to operate. At the moment, when he h-arned their mutual attachment, probably through a ilo incstlr, the lady was on her way to meet her lover as he returned from the day’s sport. The ap|s>inted place was on tin* edge of a deep, rocky ravine, down In whose dark bosom brawled ami foamed a little mountain torrent. You know the place, Duuean, my dear, I dare say." (Mere sin* gave me a minute descrip tion of the spot, with directions how to find It.i "uouin- any one «;iw want I nm K'dlig to rein to, or whether it was put together aI'lerwurd I cannot tell. The dory Is like an old tree—so old that It has lost the marks of IIn growth. But tills Is how my grandmother told It to me. An evil chance led him in the t'iklit, direction. The lovers, startled hy Hi'- sound of the approaching horse, parted In opposite directions along a narrow mountain path on the edge of the ravine. Into this path lie struck at a point near where the lovers had met, hut to opposite sides of which they had now receded; so that lie was hot ween them on the path. Turning his horse tip the course of the stream. In- soon came In sight of his brother on the halite Indore him. With a sup pressed scream of rage. he rode head lout; at him, and ere he had time to make the least defense, hurled him over the precipice. The helplessness of the strong man was uttered in one slntle despairin'.: cry as he shot into the abyss. Then all was still. The sound of Ids fall could not reach the edge of the gulf.

It must have been by the devil’s own care that he was able to continue lii.s gallop along that ledge of rock. "He soon caught sight of the maiden, She was leaning, hulf-faintimr. against the precipice. She had heard her lov er's last cry, and although it had con veyed no suggestion of his voice to her ear, she trembled from head to foot, and her limbs would bear her no further, lie checked his speed, rode coldly up to her, lifted her unre sisting. laid her across the shoulders of his horse and. riding carefully till he reached a more open path, dashed again wildly aloni; the mountain side. The lady's Ions hair was shaken loose, and drooped trailing on the ground. The horse trampled upon it, and stumbled, half-dragging her from the saddle-bow. lie caught her, lift er up, and looked at her face. She was dead. 1 suppose he went mad. Ho laid her again across the saddle be fore ldm, and rode on, reckless whith er. Horse and man, and maiden were found the next day lying at the foot of a cliff, dashed to pieces. It was ob served that a hind-shoe of the horse was loose and broken. Whether this had been the cause of Ids fall, could not III lie told, lint ever when he races, as race lie will till the day of doom, along that mountain side, his gallop is mingled with the dank of the loose and broken shoe. l'or. like the sin. the punishment is awful; lie shall carry about for ages the phantom body of the girl, knowing that her soul is away, sitting with the soul of his brother, down in the deep ravine, or scaling with him the topmost crags of the towering mountain peaks.

REPUBLICAN RULE MEANS PRO TECTION TO INDUSTRIES. Th« Time Iran Not Come to DUctiM Specific Mean tire* for 1MU7—Secretary Carlisle Ilaa Forgotten ConfftiHmo Carllale—The Uootl Effect. Republican* ami P. >tectl«»n. Nothing could bo more unwise or j inopportune than tho bickerings which I have boon started among Republican | papers, some of them of considerable I inlluenco and standing, in reference j to the future policy of the Republican ! party on the tariff cpiostion. On one J side wo are told that the great victory I of November (! voices the demand of | the American people for the re ! enuetment of the McKinley bill. | »)n tho other we are treated to loud protests against a return to MeKinloyisra, und admonished that tlie defeat of tho Republican party in ISiti must be accoptod as a popular condemnation or the McKinley tariff. Both those assumptions are as unwar runted in fact us they are premature and impolitic, considered as attempts to lay down tho specific lines of Re publican policy in tho future. One thing may bo affirmed with absolute certainty of the moaning of the recent slate and congressional elections. The overwhelming victory of tho Republi can party, following the recent bungling attempts to tinker tho tariff by tho Democratic party, and its threats of further “reforms” in the di rection of free trade, was a sweeping condemnation both of the theories anil tho practice of the Democratic party; both of its performances und its prom ises on this question. Whatever else thut victory meant, it was an un mistakable and emphatic popular dec laration in favor of tho Republican policy of an adequate protection to American industries. But what specific measures will afford adequate protec tion to American industries it will be quite time to consider when the peo ple shall have placed tho Republican party in a position to carry out its policies, by giving it control of the executive and legislative branches of tho government. IT the popular ver dict of November t’> shall be confirmed by tho results of the elections ini H!)(i, it will be three years before the Re publican party can effect any positive tariff legislation. Meanwhile those elections are vet to bo won, and the St. Paul Pioneer Press believes it would be tho height, of folly to divide the party and the i country by premature and unseasona ble controversies about specific tariff measures. On tho practical side such controversies are necessarily futile; because no ono can tell in 1S!)4 just what kind of a tariff, so far as the scale of duties is concerned, will suit tho needs of the country in 18t>7. There have been great changes in the eco nomic and industrial conditions of tho country in the lasst four years. W'hat changes may tako place in the next three years it is impossible to foresee. When tho practical work of tariff reconstruction shall come before a Republican congress and a Republican president that man date of the people will be carried out in the enactment of such a tariff as will at once preserve the American market to the American workingman and protect the consumer from the greed of monopolistic combinations— a tariff which will provent the destruc tive competition of the foreigner with out preventing a regulative and stimu lating competition. It will be a tariff in harmony with the principles laid down in the national Republican plat form, a patriotic tariff, looking to the industrial independence and the indus trial supremacy of the United States of America. i inf iiuii i I'.necc. An improved condition of business is noted since the elections. There has boon a perceptible revival of ac tivity in nearly all lines of trade, and although the prices of cotton and wheat are extremely low and railroad returns do not show any marked in ! crease the signs are decidedly favora | bio for a steady advance in all branches ! of production and commerce. This re ! suits from the confidence awakened in | the business world. The election of a [ congress overwhelmingly Republican makes it clear that there will be no tariff legislation in the next two or three years which will have a tendency to disturb our industries. While there is no indication of any thing like a business •■boom" in the near future, little doubt exists that production and general trade will ex perience a constant and substantial improvement. Labor has already begun to feel the good effect of the promised restoration of Republican policy, in which the first step was taken by the election of a Republican houso of representatives. In. some industries wages have been advanced and the proprietors say that "the new schedules are due to the Republican victory and the consequent prospective increase in profits." With the output of factories increasing, the volume of business constantly enlarging, the tendency of wages upward and the stock market indicating an infusion of new life and vigor, the promise of j a gradual return of better times is cheerful and inspiring_Cincinnati | Times-Star. | Vr. Clrvelnntl nml th» Government. The president and Secretary Gresh am are reported as deeply incensed at newspapers that have presumed to criticise the course of this govern ment in relation to the war between Japan and China. Judging by tho vehemence with which defense is I made for official conduct now ac knowledged, Mr. Cleveland is suffor I ing from another of his periodical 1 6pasms against tho right of the American people to consider their government a public institution sub. joct to their control and not the pri vate estate of publie servants ap pointed for the time to administer it.— Chicago Record. Han a Defective* .Memory. The positive declaration of Presi dent Cleveland, right on the thres hold of the new bond issue, that there was the utmost harmony of policy and purpose between himself and Secre tary Carlisle, seemed to call for some sort of an explanation from the secre tary as to his sentiments on the silver question. To forestall criticism when his report, in which he was to pro mulgate a new currency policy, for the gold ring reaches the publie, it was necessary that he should speak out at once. And he did so. lie was rash enough to deny that ho ever favored the free coinage of silver. There was no quibble in the statement whatever. It was a plain, unvarnished declara tion.. Hut ho has a short memory. lie is taken to be an honest man, and it would not be seemly to say that he deliberately falsified his record. Let us look back in the tiles of the Con gressional Record for 1877 to the record of the passage in the house of Bland's bill for tho free and unlimited coinage of silver. Ho voted for it, says tho Record, and when it came back from the senate amended so as to provide for the purchase and coin age of silver by the government ho voted against the change; and his course was sanctioned by Bland and all the other freo coinage members. It was only a week later that he voted to pass the Iiland-Allison bill] over the president’s veto. In tho] I’orty-sixth congress he voted for the Warner bill for the free and unlimited coinage of silver. And this is not, his only silver record. He even voted to require tho secretary of the treas-1 ury to pay the interest on tho public! debt and other coin obligations of the government in standard silver dollars as well as gold. j ‘•iu **> w «ut5ii LilliTi lioL only is I Mr. Carlisle's memory defective, but) ri***ht along* during* his incumbency ofj his present office he has boon governed] by a policy wholly inconsistent with his course as a congressman. If the* boasted harmony between the secrc-j tarv and the president is as sweet andj beautiful as Mr. Cleveland says it is, tlien Mr. Carlisle is most willingly| forgetful, and while forgetting he doubtless reasons that he might as well make a clean breast of it and* leave no shreds behind to annoy his; conscience. But in the face of these! things is it any wonder that the busi ness public should harbor a profound distrust of the acts of the administra tion in regard to the nation’s finances?
