.N AMUSING ULUNhEU.
I'erhaps the most divirting blunder
ni'idc by the democrats in counting out
republicans-elect to the next congress
came off in the Second North Carolina
district. Cheatam, the republican can
didate was understood to be 4,500 ahead,
and the democratic returning boards
threw out two counties entire, and sev
eral precincts in another county and sup
posed that the matter was satisfactorily
settled. JJut when they came to make
fie ollicial count of the district, behold
Chcntam was still 070 votes ahead. The
dentocratie state committee was astound
ed at the result and immediately ordered
the canvass to be made over from the
bottom up. This time they made a clean
sweep by throwing out live thousand ad
ditional votes for Cheatam on the ground
that his tickets were headed " For the
Fifty-first congress, .Second distract."
This was the head decided upon by the
cpublican committee as complying ex
actly with the law and it differed from
the heading of the den oratic ticket only
in h iving the additional words," Second
d'strict.''
Information in the hands ui Ihe re
publican national committee indie des
that about fifteen republican members
of congress elected by the actual returns
in the solid south will be refused their
ceatificatea ami Jh same will be issued
to their democratic opponent;. Two in
Arkansas, two in Kentucky, three in
Virginia, one in Maryland, two in West
Virginia, two in Louisiana ami three in
North Caroliii:. nl yet it is probable
that the frauds wili not avail io (,;;ike

Wh.vtkvku advantages may aceure to
thj republican party by the admission of
Dakota and other territories is insignifi
cant as compared with a vigorous digni
lied and protective administration to in
sure the continuance of republican
supremacy in the affairs of the govern
inent. These things are promised in the
president-elect. The election has already
esulted in giving a new impetus to rail
road dcvelopement of the country and
consequent encouragement to steel rail
nanufactures. It lias also demonstrated
i revival of confidence in every line of
nanufaciuring industry and the incom
ing administration will witness such a

She Eank back into her scat, drinking
in the inspiring tones, wondering in an
indistinct way if ho had ever played as
well, and w hy sho hail never Ikvii af

When the last thrilling notes had died
away, hho fclowly approached him and
said, Boflly:
"You have surpassed yourself to-night,
Jack. I have been listening spellbound."
Instead of turning around and greeting
her in hi usual frank way, be s.tarted in
surprise, then hesitated, and finally Laid:
"I am glad you like my niusie," and hL-

At this he turned slowly around, say

Lena blushed and s!:?iumored:
"1 beg your pardon!"
Then, at the thought of having been
half an hour in an almost unlightcd
church with a stranger, bhe plucked up
courage and demanded:
"Hut why are you here?"

her toners.
As bhe linished, h.er face plowing with
enthusiasm, they all pleaded for another
;ong, and glancing to Jack, she read the
same request in his eyes, and complied.
Later in tho evening she was sitting
near Mr. James.
"How do you like Mr. Morion;' he
asked.
"Very well," she replied, with a trifle
more feeling than was necessary. "He
is to escort mo home. Have you known
liim long?"
"lie is a business acquaintance of
mine from Chicago. I've met him so
often that I consider him a true friend."
At 1 1 o'clock Lena end Jack were
walking homeward, her dainty liand
resting confidingly on his arm.
Heforo parting he had permission to
call, and as his ttay was to be short and
her next evening was devoted to the re
hearsal it was arranged that ho should
escort her home.
At breakfast her auat asked:
"Lena, how did yju enioy yourself
last night?"
"Very well, auntie."
"Did Mr. James bring you home?"'
"No; Mr. Morton camo with nie'r"
At this tho elder ladv laid down her
fork, and lookimr directlv at Lena asked:
"And who may Mr. Morton be?"
"A gentleman from Chicago who was
there," answered Lena, ignoring the
romantic mee ting in the dimly lit church.
"A gentleman I'rcm Chk-ago!" repeated
her uur.t. with s.n ominous tap of her
lect. "1 !:r.t is rather inuchnke."
"Yes; but he's nice, auntie."
"Of course," said her aunt. "Curlr.

Yet even as she sixike the words there

That evening the choir seemed unusu

the evening was crisp and starry, they

Her aunt saw plainly how inatten

One day Ixna receivinl a letter froin
Jack, the most important and sweetest
part of which was tho last, for in that hc
wrote, in words which thrilled bei
through and through, of liis great love
for her, and U-ggeel her if she re-tumeel
his love, te wear the little ring he bad
sent, for his sake. Tho ring, whoso geru
was as puro as tho love of w hich it was a

tho letter, but not before Lena had an

As sho slipped tho beautiful thing on

ceremony, was echoed through her every

Thinking long over her new found
happiness, she suddenly remembered her
aunt.
It was really appalling to have entirely
ignored ono who hael devoted a gooel part
of her life to her and loved her so dearly

After pressing the letter nfFcctionatc-ly
to her lips, she stowed it away close to
her throbbing heart, and went down
stairs in ejuest of her aunt.
She found her in the library, and tapped
softly on the oien eloor. Without wait

to where her aunt sat on a low chair.
"I am ashamed of myself because I

asked, kissing her affectionately.
