Baltimore is excited over the marriage in that city of a scion of English nobility to a colored woman. The Baltimore papers say the bridegroom is a direct de scendant of the Plantagenct family of En gland, and that, a few years ago, when public indignation was at its height against the Prince of Wales, he would, had the indignation assumed a more tangible form, have been in the direct line for as cending to the British throne. Frank D. Moulton has sent a note to the District Attorney of Brooklyn, asking for a speedy trial under the indictment for libeling the Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, which has lieen pending against him (Moulton) for nearly a year.

At a Cabinet meeting in Washington a tew days ago the subject of our relations with Venezuela was considered. The lat ter Government by a convention signed in 18i!f) agreed to pay a certain amount as indemnity for injuries sustained by certain American citizens. A portion of the sum was paid, but a balance remains due, which our Gov ernment has sought in vain to obtain. The Venezuelan Government has at last ex pressed a disposition to pay up in full, but claims the privilege of designating the par ticular parties to whom the money shall be paid. This proposition will be rejected by our Government, and unless the matter is speedily adjusted the United States Minis ter to Venezuela will probably be withdrawn.

Last Tuesday the Cincinnati day express, going cast, left Connersville on time, and wits iiytnjr on its way at the rate of twenty-live miles an hour. When approaching a" bridge over a river a few miles from Connersville the engineer noticed a small lxy in the middle of the track motioning wildly with hisarins. The heavy rains for several days ln-fore had caused the man at the throttle no little anxiety, and in a mo ment it flashed over his mind the bridge, but a very short distance ahead, was at least damaged bv the freshet. "With oni hand he reached for the whistle, and the other he reversed the enirine. train employes heard no ordinary sto signal in the keen, short whistle, an moment conductor, tiasrsaore-man a the train enmloves were helninur thevesu lar brakeman wind the chains that were perhaps the only hopes of saving the lives of all on board. The train was stopped within but a few steps of where the bridge once rested on the abutment. The structure had been washed entirely away, and had it not been for the boy the entire train would have gone into the river, as the bridge was just at the end of a curve, and so hidden by trees that its dis appearance would not have been noticed until too late. As soon as the passengers had gotten over the shoc k the full realization of their danger had caused a search was made for the loy. lie was found sitting down oil" to one side of the track, shaking as if he had a chill, so bad ly was he frightened. Every one on the train Mocked around the brave little fellow, who said he was eleven years old, and al most crushed him in their joyful anxiety to even touch hU body. lie innocently said he did not ln-p;in shaking until he sat down, thereby showingthat not until lie had seen the train stop in safety did his nerves give way. lie said his name was Davis and that he lived near by, iointing to a farm house. He was on his way home from a neighbor's when he discovered that the bridge had been washed away since pass ing an hour previous, lie rcmemlcred the down passenger-train, and, knowing it was alxmt time it came along, hurried up the track to give warning. He had only arrived at the stot where he was noticed by the engineer when the train came along. One of the passengers, an elderly Quaker lady, gave him live dollars, which lie was reluctant to accept, although the conductor informed her that the officers of the road would reward the boy. The Following day .Superintendent "Williams arrived at the scene, and hunting out the hero gave him what money he had about him, some twenty dollars, with the promise that vhenever he wanted anything at all he should apply to him.

The lovers of the marvelous should hasten to make a trip to New Guinea, in the East Indies. In the first place it is al most terra incognita, and therefore a com paratively virgin field for exploration; and, secondly, its productions are of so wonderful a character that hyperbole and exaggeration can only faintly do justice to the subject. Munchausen was a prodig ious liar, but if he had visited New Guinea his resources in the art in which he ex celled would have failed in the presence of realities more incredible than his most in genious fabrications. A book on this re markable region, by Capt. Lawson, de scribes, among other things, butterflies whose expanded wings measure a foot across, scorpions and spiders thirteen inches long, apes over live feet high, snakes forty feet long, trees &17 feet high, and, to crown all, a cataract 900 feet wide, with a fall of 17'J feet, and a mountain overtopping by more than 3,000 feet the giant Mount Everset in the Himalayas, hitherto the highest known mountain in the world.

The Orangemen, among whom were several women and children, sought protection at the police station and the Mayor was sent for, who, with a squad of police, undertook to cpuell the disturbance and escort the assailed party to their homes. The police were themselves assaulted by the mob, and in self-defense fired oil" their revolvers into the crowd and thus compelled the mob to disperse. Several persons on both sides Mere wounded, some of them seriously. A lock-out is threatened in the cotton mills in Ashton, Stalybridge, Dunkenfield and Mossley, England, because the work men in certain departments have refused to refer disputes in regard to wages to arbitration.

In a pioneer's cabin out West, so they Bay, A big black crizztr trotted one day, And seated himself on the hearth and began To lap the contents of a two-gallon pun Of milk and potatoes an excellent meal And then kicked about to see what he could steal. The lord of the mansion then awoke from his sleep. And hearmjr a racket he ventured to peep Just out in the kitchen to see what was there, And was frightened to behold a great grizzly bear. So he screamed in alarm to his Bluinberlng j'roic: "Thar's a bar in the kitchen as blip's a cow!" "A what?" "Whj-, a bar!" " Well, murder him then!" "Yes, Hetty, I will if you'll first venture in." So Betty leaped up, and the poker she seized, While her man shut the door and against it he squeezed. As Betty then laid on the grizzly her rapid blows Now on his forehead and now on his nose Her man through the keyhole kept shouting within: " Well done, my brave Betty, now hit him attain; Now a rap on the ribs, now a knoc k on the, snout, Now poke with the poker and poke his eyes out." So with rapping and poking poor Betty alone At last laid Sir Bruin as dead as a stone. Now, when the old man saw the bear was no more He ventured to poke his nose out of the door, And there was the grizzly stretched out on the floor. Then oir totheneighbors he hastened to tell All the -wonderful things that the morning befell; And he published the marvelous story afar. How " vie and my Betty jist slaughtered a bar! O yes, conic and 6ec, all tl.c neighbors have sid it, Come and sec what we did, me and Betty, who did it." Toledo Commercial. LUMLEY'ft rAKDNEK. July i August.... September October , November.......

Ix addition to the numerous adultera tions found in cheap tea, a discovery has been made in London which will attract more general attention to these grades than they have yet received. It appears that some samples of cheap tea taken from a stock which had been some time in bond was found to be infested with beetles la both larvae and perfect state. The child," he muttered presently, less toLum lev than to himself. "The words, following that look, were a whole book of revelation to me. Hap pily, Lu m ley did not notice. His face showed some surprise, mingled with that placidjsati.-faction the successful man al ways wears. 44 Ah!" he returned, shaking his head knowingly, 44 is that the way the land lies? I knew you were alwavs "close-mouthed, but a disappointment t never suspected that. She, whoever it was, had precious bad taste when she looked the other way!" and he ranB his eye admiringly over the other's splendid proportions, and manly handsome f;icc. . 41 She never refused me," broke in Lum ley's Pardner, ia a low, smothered tone, his ej-es still fastened intently on the pict ure. 44 I never aked her; but she knew my mind, and I thought I knew hers. I was sure she would wait for me until I came back. It was for her I went away." 44 15ut you wrote to her Y" questioned Lumley, with genuine interest. 44 Not a word not a line. I am a jioor scribe. IJut she knew me well enough to need no w ritten assurance of my inten tions. Every day would be lived for her. There could be no doubt of that in her mind." Lumley made a hasty gesture of dissent. "And there, old man. was precisely where you failed to connect! It don't do, you know, for women to take bo much for granted. They like to be well fortified ; and then you are the surest to win if you take tlicm by storm. Why, my Lu "lie " 44 She don't look as though she ever walked over a true heart w ith her dainty feet and that glad little smile just curving her lips!" broke in Lunilcy's Pardner, his while face still bent on the picture. His deep voice trembled a little over the last beetles wer chostnut-Prown ia color ana about t'ujs bf of wue-iS'-a'as, wfejlR the larvs 'jvorti (,.t a wUitit aw. I have forgotten the name he brought w ith him from the States, for nolody here ever called htm anything else but 44 Lum lev's Pardner." "We miners have a familiar knack of re christening, and a name once altered sticks to a man as long as he sticks to the mines; so, even after Lumley had thrown up his claim and left the diggings, a good three years ago, Lunilcy's Pardner still re mained, a fincer post to trace the distance back. After all, John Jones, or Lunilcy's Pardner, what mattered it, in that doubt ful tide of immigration setting in toward the wild regions," where the first confiden tial question, after intimacy seemed to warrant the liberty, was invariably: 44 Saay, comrade, what was j our name be fore you came here V" You see, I knew Lunilcy's Pardner when he first came into the mines. I was up at Wood's Diggings at the.tiine he and a party ol two or three more came around prospecting. I remember I thought what i hne, stalwart young tcllow, lie was straight as a young pine-tree, and no tooi- ishness about him either, for he had been roughing it a year or two dow n on the Texas lxrder. I never saw the boys more dow nright pleased over a new-comer than when he bought a claim and went in with us. He was not a man to talk much aliout himself, nor one you would feel free to question; but there was honest, square dealing looking out of his clear, gray eyes, for all the trouble and unrest laid up be hind them. Lumley was as different as a man could be. I have often noticed that men take to unlikes in mating among themselves as well as in choosing mates for lite. He came into the diggings a week or so later, and they somehow fell in together. Lum ley was w hat you might call an extra clever fellow, ife looked scarcely more than a boy these fair-skinned people never show "their age with his handsome, womanish face, bright blue eyes and trim built figure; but he had confidence until you could not rest, plenty of the gilt o gab, and a someiuing aoom, mm i oc lievc people call it magnetism at least, when you were witn mm you neiieteu just as Jieuid and men wonuereii at out sell afterward lor doing it. Lumley alwavs had a knack of twisting folks round his little finger, for all that the lines of firmness were quite lacking about his mouth. Lumlcy's Pardner, now, with his close-set lips and square, massive jaw vou miffht as well hone to move a mountain as mm arainsi ins vwn. iie would be strong to door to bear; you could easily see that. I do not know as it was exactly fair! I never meant to eavesdrop, but it happened in this wise: One night I went over to Lunilcy's shanty it was amazing strange how sm)ii his name got tacked to every thing to see abou,t a broken pick he wanted mended. I used to do the smith ing in those days. As I opened the door I saw there was no one in, and, being tired with my day's work, I dropiK-ddown on a log just outside, lit my pipe anil sat leaning back against the pine loards wait ing for Lumley to come back. I guess I must have got drowsy and fallen asleep, for the first thing I heard was voices, and Lumley's Pardner speaking out bitter and short, in a way we seldom heard him speak : 44 I reckon it's of no use in ask if there's anv letters come to my name," he said. 44 There's no one to w rite to me." I rubbed open my ryes and saw two gleams of light streaming out through the onen dixir and the one lootvhole of a win dow, and then I knew that Lumley and his mate must have passed me by and never seen me in the tw ilight. liaising myself up I saw Lumley through the window sitting down to the pine table be side a tallow clip with two or three letters lying before him and one open in his hand. Then it Hashed across my in ind that one of the boys from a camp beyond had gone in to the station and was ciue wiui uie man that night. Lumley's Pardner sat over the far side of the table w ith a gloomy look in his eye Being in the same boat myself, I knew how lonesome it was never to have news from home, and wondered to myself how a manly, fine-looking fellow like him should be w ithout a w ife or sweetheart waiting with a woman's pride in him somewhere. Lumlev was busy reading his letters. I thought 1 had better stay outside. He was that intent at first that he seemed not to have heard the other's words, but after a moment he lifted his face with one of the proud, bright looks that were Lumley s own. 44 Ay, comrade!" he cried, cheerily ; 44 and don t tell me it isn't ail your own fault. Don't dure to enw me my wife and child." There was no reply; but, looking over I saw such a bitter, sorrow ful look on the face of Lumley's Pardner that, scarcely knowinir what"! was doing. I stood and watched and pitied him. I heard Lumley read aloud; words of love and trust, watchintr and waiting, and of happiness in him and the child. I saw his face as he read. He might be a weak man, but he loved the woman and the child, t rom the last letter there dropped out a csirte de visile. Lumley caught it up with boyish eacerness. 44 Old Pard," he cried, 44j-ou shall see mv two treasures. Here they are Lulie and the boy!" He tossed the picture across the table The other nicked it un. I saw a man die once, stabbed through the heart. Just such a look came into the face of Lumley's Pardner as he fflanced at that picture in his hand. Lumlev. bendins over his let ter n-pr saw it. ' When he had finished reading he held out his hand. The other did not even' raise his eyes, but kept them fixed on what he held. " I. t'X. onca tltougtit to havG ft wifo itaa words. 44 Lulie is truth itself," answered Lum ley, quickly. 44 She never loved anylxnly but me. To be sure, she had admirers how could she help that and be what she is? but she loves me truly. You can sec it in her eyes!" Lumley's Pardner turned deathly pale. He caught the table by one hand as if to steady himself and fairly hurled the pict ure across to Lumley. It missed its mark and fell to the floor. As he saw it fall, all the fierceness died out of his eyes and a frightened look crept into them. 44 Pick her up," he said, w ith timid ap prehension, as though it were a human licing to whom, in a moment of passion, he had committed some act of violence. 44 1 didn't mean to do that poor little mother!" that last word seemed to give him a stronger footing w ith himself. 44 1 w as thinking how my wife married another man and never let me know." 44 Come, come, old man, don't take it so to heart," said Lumley, soothingly. 44 There'll be a pleasant home, a dear lit tle woman, and bright-eyed children in the future for you yet." 44 Never!" Lumley's Pardner brought down his fist like a sledge-hammer; then he leaned forward in his seat, with u feverish e ager ness in his manner which he tried hard to keep out of his voice: 44 Tell me, how would you have given up your Lulie V" Lumley laughed with easy, careless good-nature. 44 You put me in a tight place," he said. 44 But, supjMsing the case, the first question I should ask would be: Did she goovertotheenemv'scamp in other words, forsake me for an old rival ?" 44N-n-o!" answered Lumley's Pardner, slowly. 44 It was some one I had never seen. I've nothing ag'in the man." 44 Why, then," went on Lumley 44 truth sometimes cuts hard, old fellow I think it was your fault, and not the girl's. It's a man's privilege to speak his mind; a woman's destiny to fold her hands and wait. She can never be quite sure unless he has spoken out. Then perhaps another who has learned to love her does speak. She feels the need of love in her lite; women as often marry to be loved as lo calise the' love. Then, instead of wasting her life for that which may never come to her, she takes up the fate lying at her feet. Does she go very much astray?" Lumley's Pardner dropped "lS bf'ad up on his breast. 44 Poor girl ! I never thought of that," he said. I do not know just bow it was that I re membered all the words so plain. There was no more said, and, feeling guilty-like for stealing a mate's secret which was not meant tor me to know, i crept to my shanty, bunked in, and let the broken pick lie over until morning. I always felt sorry for Lumley's Pardner after that. Well, for a time things went on in the old way. Then Lunilcy's Pardner came down with mountain fever, and Lumley nursed him through it. He was as tender as a woman, was Lumley! When I used to drop in of nights, occasionally to lend a hand at watching, the sick man's eyes would follow him alout the room in a helpless, lM-seeching way that was pitiful to sec. It was only the ghost of Lumlcy's Pard ner that got up from it, but the two were always nigher together after that. When Lumley got back to the claim and Lumley's Pardner was just able to crawl about, they came into a wondcrim streak of luck. Lumley struck into a bigpockct, and there they were, in the turn of a die, rich men. Mining, after all, is a game of chance you buy your ticket, but it does not alwavs win; there are plenty of blanks to every prize. It does not matter the exact amount tins pri.c netted, if I had remembered it. Lum ley was lnlulant over ms pnc, anxious to sell out and leave the mines; so nolxnly was surprised when his partner bought him out for a good round sum, saying, in his quiet way, that he guessed he'd stay and see the thing through. It was very quiet in camp the morning that Lumley went away, lhe boys wen sorry to lose him, for he had not any but wt ll-w lsliers among us. Well, six mouths went by, and then came a little white letter 44 scribed" in a daintv woman's hand to Lumley's Pard ner. The man trembled all over likealeaf when it was put into his hand, took it into his cabin and shut last the door. Within the next half hour he came out acain in a desperate hurry, saddled his mule, and rode off down the trail. 44 Unexpected business!" was his'has tv explanation. Could not say how soon he niiirht be back. The news came to us at last by a party of traders stopping to noon in camp. Then I knew what 'those marks of weak ness about his mouth stood for; Lumley had never left the city at all! He had sat down to the gaming-table one night and gotten up from it the next morning poorer than he had come into the mines. He had first won. then lost, and lost and won. and won again ; and then that last total blank stared him in the face. Lumley could never give up at that. He must win it all back! Luck was surely in store for him vet! He haunted the gambling-hells, playing recklessly, desperate ly, so long as he could win enough to keep the ball rolling; pawning his watch, his ring, even his clothing, when other resources failed. So Lumley's Pardner found him heavy eyed, with a seedy llashiness in his dress, marks of dissipation on his fair, woman ish face a pretty-narly-played-out indi vidual. The blood rushed all over his face, for the manliness yet leftia him could but feel the shame of that inciting. But there w as no backing out now. Luaaley's Pardner took him to one &ido. " I've li?r4 of j'ou.&H 1 taW in his matter-of-fact way, 44 and I've como to see you out of this! How much do you say w ill clear you up and have a trifle uhead?" Lumley never raised his eyes. "Old Pard," he answered, choking up, 44 you're a iK-tter friend than I deserve. Don't ask me to take anything from you. I went in with my eyes open, and, thank ing you all the same, I'll have nolmdy's help out." Lumley's Pardner laid a broad hand on eac h of the pitifully-drooping shoulders. "Old man, when that fever had ine down I'd ha' gone under if it hadn't been lor vou. So help me God! I'd rather ha died than have taken what I did at your hands. Io you dale deny me this small return now? What's a paltry sum of money between you and me, and the 14 lit tle mother' waitin' at home?" Lumley put down his head upon that and cried like a baby ; the which, if it bo not manly, I like him the better for. There arc tears, I am thinking, that are far from disgracing even the eyes of a man. 44 I'm ashamed of myself through and through for w hat's gone by," were Lum ley's next words, 44 but I can't give it up now. Matters can't be any worse and tin-re's a chance of bettering. Perhaps to-night I shall win it all back." There were the old Millfiilncss and pride and the new fascination of the gaming table. There was no turning him back, iio moving him from that resolve. Lumley's Pardner took him by the arm 44 Either way, I'm louml to see yoif through," he said. "Come." So night after night, as Lumley played, there stood Lunilcy's Pardner looking on, w ith never a word of that little nhite let ter, his answering message or the two pas sengers on board an ocean steamer louiid for California. Despite Lumley's hopefulness luck never turned. It was the same feverish unrest ami tedious waiting, the sense of degradation by day and at night the brilliantly lighted gambling-hell, the ex citement, the fascination, trembling be twixt hope; and uncertainty, the Ireqtient potations to stead- his shaking nerves, and, as the night wore on, uncertainty deepening into failure and disappoint incut; and each morning Lumley's Pard ner led him slowly and silently away, until time, wearing on, brought at last this appeal : 44 For Coil's sake, old man, when will you let Up?" 44 So help me Heaven, as soon ns I get back 'J.tMX 1 swear never to touch cauls or dice airain." And Lumley was dead in earnest this time. Still, he would accept nothing from his partner. The night the Ocean Belle was signaled into port Lumley's Pardner beckoned 44 Monte Bill" aside (I rec kon you have heard of Monte Bill, the best brace-dealer and short-card player west of the old Mis sissippi), and some secret understanding passed between them. In the midst of a game Lumley's Pard ner left his jwst, which was something un usual, passing Monte Bill on his way to the door. It was not generally noticed, but as he passed he dropped a small, com pact package into the gambler's hand, then, slouching his nmnbrero over his eyes, he left the hall. Pausing in the street, Lumley's Pardner looked anxiously down. It would have been dark but for the street-lamps, for it was full two hours to moonrise; but dow n by the wharf shone out the gleam of anew signal-light which, poised at mast-head, glowered through the dark like the fiery eye of a gigantic Cyclops; the Ocean Belle was in. Ten minutes later, pushing his way through the. bustling crowd that thronged the deck, he hurried across the plank and made his way straight to the cabin. The past seemed all a dream as he stood again with wildly-beating heart be fore a once familiar form familiar still, though bearin-r the maturer crown of motherhood. Her face was even fairer than of old, blushing w ith its own wild rose tints of loveliness, her soft eyes shin ing up in glad expectation. The broad sombrero, slouched over his ion head, shaded his features. She saw only bronzed cheeks and a strong brown In-ard. Tin tremor in his voice might have; meant diflidence. 44 Pardon me, madam, you are T be. lieve that is to say I am Lumley's Pardner." She held out a white hand cordially. 44 And my husband?" 44 Is well. I am to take you to him." He took timidly the hand the extended, aw kwardly the little woman thought, and then let it go. 44 Give me the child." He took the sleeping boy in his arm, and so burdened piloted the way to a car riage waiting close U-side the wharf. Put ting her inside, he laid the child gently, almost reverently, upon her lap. 44 We're to drive round and take up Lumley. It is only a few minutes' ride." One last searching glance from under the protecting nmnbrern, and he closed the carriage door, mounting to his place be side the driver. Oddly enough, Lnmhy had just finished a winning game with Monte Bill when Lumley's Pardner came hurriedly in. As he slipped quietly back to his post Lum lev sat cvinir the 41 pile" He put out his'hand to rake it up, paused, drew it back, picked up the arI, iiikI becan to shuffle for (mother Hake; not that he had forgotten his oath, or the woman and child beloved, but a long way ahead of anything else was the thoucht that luck hail turned that he had only to follow it. up to win back all tin- pasl. Lumley's Pardner Hooped to his car: 44 You'd iM-ttcr throw up the game. The, 4 little mother' and your boy are waiting here, outside." Lumley started halfrose to his feet, looked up into his partner's face, then at the cards, then at the door, then willfully back upon the cards ami the gold. As with a heavy sigh he sank into his seat again, Lumley's Pardner, dashing the cards from his'hamls, raked up the slakes and forced the money into Lumley's pocket. 44 How long will you keep your wife and child waiting alone, at night, in a strange city before the dxr of a gambling house?" The thrust struck home. Like a man awakening from a dream, Lumley sprang up, crushed on his hat, and flew to the door. Once in the little woman's arms he was safe. Lumley's Pardner knew him well enough to. Ik; "sure of that. He never fol lowed 111 hi but slipped out at the sidedoor and the next day saw him back in camp a trifle pale and sterner than was his wont, but the clear gray eyes dauntlessly honest and brave. And I reckon to this day Lumley never knows how much he owes his old mate, or that his Lulie had one true lover whom he once knew and appropriated to himself in the person of Lumley's Pardner. Over land Monthly. 44 Who can sound the depths of her love?" he soliloquized, as he leaned out of the window while the moonlight brilliant ly illuminated the white line where her hair was parted in the middle. She thought he was talking alxmt another woman, and for three weeks she fixed the poultices herself, did everything to repair the disastrous consequences of her im petuosity, aud treated him as a penitent and devoted wife should.
