YALEEIA'S TSIUMPHS.
"I will confess that I have all along
considered you a woman with a 'his
tory and a mistery. "
"The result, I suppose, of the rath
er unusual manner of our 'becoming
acquainted," observed Miss Vincy,
with a slight smile at the gentleman
lazily leaning on the hack of his chair,
facing the sofa where she sat embroi
dering. r nnln l-nrTT7 flinf T nm mnp.ll in
debted to that little dog for barking
at you," said Mr. Bunsen, answering
her smile, and gently disengaging a
soft white hand from its occupation
to hold it in his firm clasp.
"Oh, it's all very well, Mr. Bunsen,
for you to pretend that you did me no
serious service when you saved me
from that horrible dog," commenced
Miss Vincy, with much earnestness ;
then relaxing into playfulness, "but
if rumor is to be credited, your clothes
suffered in that encounter if you did
not, Mr. Runsen," and Miss Vincy's
lovely hazel eyes rested graciously on
the gentleman vis-a-vis.
"Yes, it is quite true that I lost a
coat-tail and my heart," responded
Mr. Runeen, with great solemnity ;
soft braids of her downcast head, "I
have sued for heavy damages, and
won my case, have I not, Valeria?"
"But have j'ou spoken yet to your
mother?" asked Miss Vincy, with ap
parent irrelevance.
"Yes," with a quick frown at the
recollection.
"And what does she say?" Miss
Vincy withdrew her hands as she
spoke, and became very intent upon
her embroidery.
"I am almost ashamed to let you
know," said Mr. Runsen, with aslpw
reluctance in his tone, "only that it is
your right to be fully aware of the
sort of mother-in-law you will have,
Valeria. I must try to keep in mind
that it is my mother of whom I speak
but I do not find it hard to ac
knowledge thatshe has altogether de
clined to call upon you she is what
you might call a woman of the world,
and it seems she has already picked
outn wife 'suited to my position,' as
she puts it; and when I altogether
declined to come into her views we
both got Into a proper rage, and it all
ended In my taking up my hat and
leaving, after she had declared tragi
cally that I should be disinherited
and my oousin succeed Jn- her-favorr
But, after all, I think we might man
age to pull along on my salary In the
bank, Valeria, and I can give up
wearing kid gloves and smoke a
pipe?" and Mr. Runsen's rapid sen
tence became a slightly anxious In
terrogative at its close.
"But do you think 1 ought to mar
ry you in opposition to your mother's
wishes?" said Valeria, quietly.
"By heavens, I do," said Mr. Run
sen, with sudden vehemence and
flashing eye3. "I am neither a boy
nor a puppet, and if I thought you
would throw me over because of my
mother's folly and ambition, I would
go straight to the devil."
"Oh, pray don't," interrupted Miss
Vincy, with a gesture of distress "I
fully intend to marry you we are
both rational beings, and we are
neither of us children. I agree with
jou that it would be an injustice to
ourselves to sacrifice the happiness of
both our lives without a reasonable
excuse; but Philip, perhaps j-our
mother has some good reason for de
clining measlier daughter perhaps
she even suspects me a3 an adventur
ess," with a quick glance at Mr. Run
sen's face.
"But then," said that gentleman
with an impatient pull at his mous
tache," "no matter what my mother
thinks or Eays, so long as you are
mine, Valeria," taking both her
hands in a large clasp, and looking
deep in her grave eyes. "Valeria, I
trust you from my heart and al
though your past is not known to me,
yet when I look Into your eyes I feel
that your soul is as beautiful as your
self. I love you aud believe in you,
as I do in my religion by faith, and
I cannot express how deep is my grat
itude for the gift of your love.' '
Valeria's eyes were wet with un
shed tears when he had spoken, for it
was not often this gentleman uttered
such words of serious tenderness.
"Philip, I thank you from my
heart," she answeic:'., after a mo
ment's pause, and her pale, lovely
face raised to his. "But I never in
tended you should marrj me without
full knowledge of my life before I
came to this quiet little country place.
Here in your arms, it is even sweet to
remember I have not always been eo
happy. Philip, until three months
ago, I expected to be another man's
wife no matter who he was" with
an arch smile at her lover's contract
ed brows we are nothing to each
utuet uutt. a.L ursi, wnen we werel
engaged, I thought I loved him it
was so delightful to imagine myself
beloved but I soon found that I cared
nothing for him. I shrank from hav
ing him come near me; I could not
even bear that he should touch my
hand, and yet I was ashamed and
afraid to tell him that I would not
marry him. But very soon he broke
it off himself the money that my
parents had left me when they died
was all lost, and then I discovered
that I had narrowly escaped being
married for my money. I was very
politely jilted, Philip; but I do assure
you it was worth all my money to be
free of that horrible marriage. But I
detested 2Tew York after that; so,
one day, like the Arabs, I ailently

stole away and came to this little
spot, where I have been as a child, lit
tle dreaming, Philip, that I Ehould

VUCCl. LiJ ". i" ,
Poor child!" said Philip, tender
ly. "You must give me the right to
love, cherish and protect you very
soon indeed, and I thank God you are
a poor woman, that Is, (anxiously), if
you think you can manage on my
salary of three thousand ayearand be
content." And Philip looked into
her sweet face and read there thatshe
was unutterably content.
"Valeria, you must put on your
best bib and tucker to-night; they
tell me this ball is a most exclusive
affair, and of course my mother will
have early bulletins to inform her of
your debut In Washington society."
They had been married a month
and were sitting at their hotel break
fast, freshly returned from their wed
ding tour, and here in Washington
Valeria was altogether strange.
"Your commands shall be obeyed,"
answered Valeria, gaily, "only you
are banished for the day, while I con
coct my toilet and furbiBh up my
finery."
Later, while Mr. Runsen, in his
correct evening dress, sat reading his
paper and awaiting rather impatient
ly, his wife, the door opened and un
heard she entered.
"Do Isuit you?" said a gentle voice,
and then Mr. Runsen lowered bis pa
per and became transfixed. Before
him stood a vision of loveliness in
magnificent cream white Eilk, covered
with delicate web-like lace. Superb
diamonds flashed in her ears and en
circled the round white column of
her throat, shone on her arms and in
the rippling masses of her hair; but
fairer to see than all was the soft radi
ance of her hazel eyes, the pink flush
upon her cheeks, as she said again :
"Do I quite suit you, Philip ?"
"Have I gone mad ?" was her hus
band's auswer, as he took in all the
delicate details of her exquisite toilet.
"Why, Valeria, where on earth did
you get these?" touching the huge,
solitaires in her ears.
"Relics of departed grandeur,
love," she answered lightly, with a
tap of her point lace fan.
"Come along, will you ? We shall
get there at sensation time, as it is, I
fear."
So Philip was content to kiss the
pretty upturned face and enwrap her
in her fur-lined cloak. There was a
univeranh-hush Jn the conversation.
when Mr. and Mr3. Runsen's names
were announced, for Mr. Runsen had
held quite a pronounced place in soci
ety before his marriage, and it was
generally known that he had incur
red his family's displeasure by a Tncs
salliancc with a scheming adventur
ess, whose maiden name was even
unknown. But now there was a low
murmur of admiration as Ihe beauti
ful and graceful woman entered, with
the air of a duchess aud the self-possessed
manner of a woman of fashion.
Very soon Mrs. Runsen became the
centre of the most distinguished
groupe In the room. Altogether the
evening was a triumpG, the gentle
men taking every opportunity to con
gratulate Philip on his selection of a
wife, and the ladles proving by their
absorbed gaze their recognition of the
costliness of Mrs. Runsen's toilet.
"By the by," said Philip, as they
arove oacK to tne notel, "l saw my
cousin claim your acquaintance this
evening did you know him In New
York ?"
"Philip, you will be rather aston
ished to hear i t was your cousin whom
I was engaged to marry. He was
quite dazed when he found it was Va
leria Vincy you had married'" and
Mrs. Runsen's laughter was musical
with the happiness she felt.
''How altogether comfortable to
think you are saved from that unmit
igated idiot," said Philip In answer.
"He is quite welcome to my mother's
money, dearest, now I have you."
Atll next morning Valeria came to
her husband, equipped for a prome
nade. "If you will permit me to be so vul
gar," remarked her husband, as he
surveyed her from over his morning
paper, "I should say you were becom
ingrather stunning in your raiment."
And indeed Mrs. Runsen's tall, fair
beauty was admirably set off by the
seal brown of her velvet suit.
"And here, in accordance with
Washington usage," continued Mr.
Runsen, while his wife fastened their
long gloves, "there is a lengthy des
cription of your incomparable beauty,
etc.," touching the paper, "and the
statement that your diamonds alone
are worth a fortunerMrs. Runsen; bo
that I am expecting every moment a
telegram from my mother to assure us
that we are forgiven, and welcome us
to her arniB."
Just as Mr. Runsen spoke there was
a rap upon the door, and the servant
announced Mrs. Jane Runsen in the
parlor, so with eome merriment they
descended to meet her. Mrs. Runsen,
senior, was very gracious to her new
daughter, playfully reprimand! ng her
son on being eo dilatory in bringing
his wife fo see her, and altogether ig
nored the circumstances under which
they had last parted.
"As I see you were fng out," said
she, presently, turning to Valeria,
"you must let me give you an airing
my landua is at the door, and we c-an
drive up and down the avenue."
"Thank yon very much," answer
ed Valeria, quietly, but I am about to
take Philip to look at a house I have
selected we are tired of hotel life."
"Then I shall go with you," Insist-
ed Philip's mother; and, as it was im
possible to decline this, Valeria ac
cepted in silence.
As they rolled westward Valeria
- J wag very silent, while Mrs. Runsen
gave a stream of advice as to the ad
vantage of hot and cold water and sta
tionary wardrobes, but allowed that
they were impossible things in a
houe available to their very moder
ate income."
"Oh, I dare say Valeria will man
age everything in some wonderful
way," said Philip. "She has the lalent
for making a little do a great deal, I
have found out already,." and as he
spoke they drew up in answer to Va
leria's previous instructions before a
stately "stone edifice much handsomer
thauMrs. Runsen's own mansion.
"That stupid coachman has made
some mistake," said the owner of the
carriage, as she prepared to inform
him ; but Valeria said : "2?of he is
quite right;" and stepped out of the
carriage, the o'thers following, scarce
ly knowing rhy.
Tip the broad Etep3, across the tes
selatsd ball into a room like fairy
land, with its Axmlnister carpet of
pale hues, and blue satin hangings
and .furniture, while beyond opened
vistas of apartments as exquisitely
designed, in orange and ebony, and
further on in crimson and guilt.
For a moment mother and son
stood looking at the silent splendor;
Philip turned, and, looking in his
wife's timid grown face, said sternly,
"Valeria, iell me rft once what this all
means,' and at his word and look
Valeria forgot her mother-in-law ev-erytbiug-out
her husband's arm.
"Forgive me my deception," she
said, her lovely head thrown back to
look into his face. "It was so sweet
to knoyou love me for myself alone
I .did not really lose my money
only a rart of it I only meant to test
my frieids; it was foolish, romantic
I know it, but look what It has won
me! Yonr love the crowning happi
ness of my life."
And Valeria leaned, breathless,
watching her husband's face. Grad
ually his brows had relaxed their
Eternntss, and when she ceased, he
said, sniling:
"It fe quite wonderful and altogeth
erlikra novel, you female Lord of
Burleigh ; and I fear my unfortunate
cousin has lost another fortune ; for I
suppose, mother," with a gleam of
amusement in his eyes, "you will not
LcutraeiflL with a shilling, after all."
"Of course you know I could not
hold oir longer against you two chil
dren," said his mother, benignly;
"and my dear child," to Valeria, "I
hopeyou will come to me as your own
mother, since you have lost your
own."
To wHch Valeria assented with
great outward equanimity.
'Do you foreive my ruse?"
said
Valeria, 'cneeling beside her hus
band's chtir, when they were at last
alone.
"Yon hive me in such subjection
that T fine it impossible to be dis
pleased wih anything you do," he
answered, vith a caressing smile.
"After al, It was through my mon
ey that I was saved to be your wife,"
said Valerit ; then, with a gay lauch,
"And now ve can afford an unlimited
amount of icld gloves, so perhaps it is
more desirable to have $30,000 a year
instead of $8,000. Besides, it has giv
en me the good opinion of your moth
er and you, my love, my life, that
have loved me for myself."
Good AdTice from a Sympathizer.
From theNatloE, (Dem.)
The message does not, as'lho demo
crats hoped, base the veto on the
form of the bill, and therefore make
it possible to meet it by seperating the
appropriation from the repeal. It
goes to the merits of the mater in con
troversy and claims for the federal
government the right to use the army
in aid of the marshalls to protect
voters and repress disorders at federal
elections, or, in other words, to dis
charge duties which the democratic
theory reserves to the Etate govern
ments exclusively. We think there
can be little doubt that on this issue
the democrats will, in the long run,
be beaten, though they will doubtless
owe their defeat largely to the fact
that the army is so small. They can
not make it appear that in its present
dimensions it is dangerous as a police
force, or is anything but a police
force; nor can they convince people
that the federal government needs no
police force to execute the laws. It is
to be observed, however, that though
there have been threats of coercing
the president, thus far there has been
no coercion of him, and we feel very
certain none will be attempted. The
democrats have got to the end of a
very silly business, and will now
probably refrain from utterly disgust
ing the country by voting the appro
priation or else continue the appro
priation of last year until Decem

Ho"R to Make Cologne Water.
With no trouble at all, any one can
make in her own store room a' better
article of cologne than that which is
usualb bought, by thorouely dissolv
ing a-fluid drachm of the oils of berg
amont, orange and rosemary, each
wich a half a drachm ofneroil and a
pint of rectified spirits. As good as
can be made out of cologne itself,
however, is also prepared by mixing
with one pint of rectified spirits two
fluid drachms each of tho oil of berga
mont and lemon, one of the oil of
22, 1879.
orange, and half as much of that of
rosemary, together with three-quarters
ofa drachm of neroli and four
drops each of the essence of ambergris
and musk.
If thiB is subsequently distilled, it
makes what may be called a perfect
cologne, but it becomes exceedingly
fine by being kept tightly stopped for
two or three months to ripen and
mellow before use. Clicmist.
Horse Delusion.
Gradually It begins to get into the
mind of the average larmer that rais
ing trotting horses doesn't pay at
least for him. It may pay somebody,
but that somebody is not himself.
'Tis true the papers say that "Joker"
has been sold for a thousand or more;
but young "Dexter," now five years
old, that has a very "promising gait,"
and has never earned a cent, for he
was too valuable to work, has- not
been sold. "The price for such a colt
is low not a bagatelle of hia true
worth. Such a stepperas he is worth
$500. Why people ought to snap at
him at that figure." "He will go one
of these days, when a man comes
along who can appreciate him."
"Wby.I should not be surprised if he
brought several thousands yet. See
what Bonner pays, and this colt is a
grandson of 'Hambletonian.' "
And so the delusion is kept up un
til young "Dexter" "eats himself up"
several times, and theskeleton buggy
is worn out, and then in despair and
disgust the owner sells him for $125
all he is worth and the trotter goes
into the horse market and wears out
before some light wagon or perhaps a
street car.
Not one "promising colt" of trot
ting stock in twenty-five is ever
worth any more than the average
value for horses designed for drudges
before light carts and trucks and
street cars. Here they are really un
fitted for the work required of them,
as they are generally too light in bone
and muscle, and consequently break
down early. The time spent in fus
sing over trotting colts by the time
they are five years old, and in train
ing them, is worth all they will av
erage in price when sold, take the
country through. Such a colt must
not work, as it would spoil its gait
and spirit ; so it doe3 not earn any
thing, and grows up a dead los3 and
leaves the breeder in debt. The ac
count might be made up in this way:

had been raised large
enough for a carriage or cart horse, or
to be used on a heavj truck which
kind of horses have a fixed value and
are in constant and permanent de
mandat three years of age it might
have been put to work and earned its
keeping, and, when five years old, it
would bring from $200 to $300, accord
ing to its style and size. These are
the colts for farmers to raise, especial
ly in the Eastern States. They will
always bring a paying price, for they
are good for farm work or any sort of
service. They must not be less than
sixteen hands high, with as much
natural style and action as possible.
It is not necessary that they should
be "trotters," but they should be
cood easy travelers. Let the breed
ing of trotting horses be confined to
the large breeding farms, where the
business is Fystemized and expert
trainers can handle them ; and then
a large proportion of the demoraliza

much of the damage" to farmers in try
ing to breed and train them, may be
avoided. Col. F. D. Curtis in Sural

in your hed?" cried MI33 Tulip, in c
voice smothered by the mold which
covered her still.
"Here you have been snuggled so
cosv and comfortable all the long
cold winter. Why can't you be
quiet now?"
"The sun has kissed me, and I am
glad to awake," said Crocus in a clear
voice, for she had peeped above the
leaf mold and bad seen the brown
earth once more."
"Oh Tulip if you could but see the
dear Pansies looking so green and
comfortable, and the pretty Hyacin
ths just showing their little heads,
you would stop grumbling and try to
wake up too. Even Madame Pieony
oveythe walk, is crowding her red
hood through the brown withered
grass, to see how the young plants are
getting on."
"Time enough by-and-by," mut
tered Miss Tulip. "The Winter
King wrapped the Pansy tribe so close
and warm in his great drifts. A poor
return for all his kindness, I think.
I do not admire pushing-forward peo

"Ha, ha; what Is .that you ere say

fadil, tossing her long, green leaves.
"Grumblers are always vulgar, dis
agreeable creatures, I think. Wake
up here and enjoy yourself like the
rest of us."
"Oh, my dears, do not quarrel so,"
said Miss Pink, who like the Pansy
family had been so closely wrapped
by the friendly drifts that she had

that dismal snow-shroud, aud see all
the dear friends again. "We are
waiting patiently for you my dears,""
"Well, well, all in good time, little
Lpet," ejaculated Miss Tulip. "I'll be
up and dressed in my gayest robes
before you now, see if I don't." And
true enough, when the flowers one
after another came timidly forth,
there stood Miss Tulip all in gold and
scarletrobes like a queen waiting to
receive them. Jrs E' J. Richmond

GRANT ABROAD.
Wolcomo or General Grant to the
Sacred City of the Hindoos.
The historian -of the Grant tour
writes from Benareas under date of
March 10:
It was late in the evening when we
arrived at Benareas. The day had
been warm and enervating, and our
journey was through a country lack
ing in interest. Long, low. rolling
plains monotonous and brown
were all we could see from the car
windows. At the various railway
stations where we stopped guards
of honor were in attendance native
troops in their white parade costumes
and officers in scarlet, who came to
pay their respects to the General. The
viceroy has telegraphed that he will
delay his departure from Calcutta
to the hills to enable himself to meet
General Grant. In return for this
courtesy the General has appointed to
be in Calcutta earlier than he expect
ed. He has cut off Cawnpore, Lahore,
Simla, and other points in Northern
India, which had been In his pro
gramme. Then .the weather is bo
warm that we must hurry our journey
so as to be out of the country before
the hot season is rallying upon us and
the monsoon storms bar our way to
China. It Is a source of regret to the
General that be did not come earlier
to India. Every hour in the coun
try has-been full of interest, and the
hospitality of the officials and the
people is so generous and profuse that
our way has been especially pleasant.
What really caused this delay was the
General's desire to take the American
man-of-war Richmond, which has al
ways been coming to meet him, but
has never come. But for his desire to
accept the courtesy of the President
in the spirit in which it was offered
the General would have come to India
earlier. As it is the offer of the Gov
ernment was a barren one. If the
General had waited fortheRimond
he would never have seen India, and
from the pace she is making In the
Atlantic waters it would probably
have taken him as long to go round
the world as it did Captain Cook.
rNDEF. AN INDIAN SUN.
Travel in India during the day is
very severe. The only members of
our party about whom we have anx
iety on the ground of fatl?ue are Mr.
Borie and Mr3. Grant. The friends
of Mr. Borie will be glad to know that
he has stood the severest part of his
journey around the world wonderful
ly well considering the years that rest
upon him and his recent illness. Mr.
Borie is a comprehensive traveler
anxious to see everything, who en
ters into our journey with the zest
and eagerness of a boy, and whose
amiability and kindness, patience un
der fatigue and consideration- for all
I about him have added a charm to our
journey. Mrs. Grant has also stood
the journey, especially the several
phases of it, marekmsly, aud justifies
the reputation for endurance and en
ergy which she won on the-NIle. As
for the General, he i3, so far as him
self is concerned, a severe and merci
less traveler, and never tires; always
ready for an excursion or an experi
ence, and as indifferent to the com
forts and necessities of the way as
when in Vicksbarg campaign- he
would make his bivouac at the foot of
a tree. There is military quality in
traveling on the General's part, that
be will map out hi3 route for days
ahead from maps and time tables, ar
range just the hour for his arrival
and departure, and never vary it.
What we shall do after leaving Cal
cutta is uncertain. If the Richmond
is in reach, or there is some othir ves-
Isel of the navv within reach, the
General will take her for the purpose
of visiting some points outside of the
beaten track of travel. If she has not
entered the Indian Ocean the General
will keep on with Buch passenger
line3 as he can find, and be-homeear-13
in the summer.
"It suprises me to see o young
man like you here," said Judge Bow
fcer, at Reno, Nevada, the other day
to a fellow who had been" wbcoping
it up over night. "You filled your
self up with an enemy to deprive you
of brains," proceeded the Court, re
arranging Its spectacles and glaring
at the culprit. "Now here you are, a
young man of intelligence with good
clothea on, and doubtless you have a
mother and sisters who think a good
deal more of you than I do. You've
been sent to school and taught how
to earn a good living. In return for
all this you go screaming around the
streeta at midnight, tearing down
signs and making a wild beast of
yourself. Is that the conduct of a
ren-iouauie creature : sso, of course I
it nn't. Now, I'm going to teach
you a lesson, young man. You
needn't turn pale, for it won't help
you any. Have you got any chew
ing tobaceo about you? Thankee.
Chew more aud drink less, like I do.

The remarkable divorce ease of
John vs, Mary Brunick was decided
yesterday by Judge Thayer, granting
the divorce to the husband. John
and Mary were married on the seventh,
of Deoember, 1S7S, and after the con
gratulations had been poured out up
on the young couple, and all tho
guests had retired, it occurred to-
John that it would be well to retire
to the bridal eouch. Young hus
bands can readily imagine the aston
ishment of John wheu his blushing;
bride, in her most bewitching night
robe, drew herself up proudly by tho
bedside, and, putting one delicate
little foot forward upon the mossroscr
carpet, remarked : "We are married,
but we have gone far enough. Good
night." John was rewarded with a
kiss, and then a soft hand waved inr
the direction of the door leading to
another bedchamber. John was not
a graduate of the school of plantonio
love, and the situation was- entirely
new to him, but words of entreaties-,,
and even tears were of no avail. The-
bride of a few hours bade him retire,
aud in a twinkling the snowy
draper- of the nuptail coach enfofd
ed in sweet repose and virgin inno
cence the fair form the pure Mary.
Such a condition of affairs did not
lead to much harmony, and John
might have expressed- somewhat
warmly his practical ideas concern
ing platonic affection. Iu any case,
the young bride sobbed herself into or
pretty pet and toddled off home to
her mama. The husband brought hia-
grievances to the ears of thecourtand
obtained relief; that is to say, a deorea
of divorce was granted to him-

During a recent trip to Washington?
and New York we have been surprised
at the unanimity of public senti
ment in favor of General
Grant for tho presidency
In 18S0. We knew that he was a
great favorite with the people, and
we knew that the feeling in repub
lican ciroles in favor of his nomina
tion in 1SS0 was 9trong, but we did
not appreciate the overwhelming,
irresistible tide in that direction. It s
practically unanimous among repub
licans, and we have heard a- number
of democrats declare their Intention
to vote for Grant. We believe. If he
is a candidate, he will recev-e at least
10,000 more votes in Tennessee than
has ever been given to a republican
candidate in the state. TTules3 he de
clines, his nomioation by the rapub
licans is a foregone conclusion, and
his election is certain. We do not
know that he will be a candidate, but
