The Mysterious ' Lady. One upon a time,' having a bit of ihonVy left m&by an uncle, I found hiyself better-off tharr-X ever had been before, and a thought came to make .rtyself better off still. Tejrgy," says I to my wife, "what do you think of bu jing a coach and a pair of horses, and setting up on my own account. There's a lot of money to be mttdeby a smart man, with people going home from balls and theatres, and rainy Sundays at fashionable churches, when the ladies come out without umbrellas. If you say so Peg gy, I'll spend my windfall on a coach and horses." Says Peggy: "Do, Simon ; it's a grand idea." So I did. I went out the next day and began to look for what I wanted. I'd been examining a pair of horses, and 'Was nearly ready to make a bargain, when a tall gentleman, with the hoilowest cheeks and most miserable countenance I ever saw, touched me on the arm. "My man,"sa'd he, "you are looking for a coach and horses? "Yes, sir, I am," I said. "I can show you what you want if you will come with me," said he. I looked at him a moment. Ilis face was such a face as I never saw before. I couldn't help it. But he was splendidly dressed, and had a dia mond on his finger a rick man, I should have thought. "I'm looking for a coach and horses, such as a poor man can afford to drive for a living," said I. "It's for myself, sir." "Yes. yes," said he, walking on in a hurry "yes, yes; but you don't object to a h.indsoma carriage and horses that are something to be proud of?" "I might object to the price, sir," said I. "Looli here, my man," said he, not looking at me, but away at nothing, as it seemed, "now and then a man . of means a man considered rich by his friends wants ready money. In that caso, he'd rather have it at once than wait for more. Haggling with dealers don't suit me. I'd rather make a pri vate, quiet sort of sale, and if you don't make a talk about it, why, you shall have the horses at your own price the carriage, too. You know, I don't want my seilinj them talked over." "I see," I said. And I thoug-ht I did. "All is not gold that glitters," says I to myself. "Here's a swell in difficul ties." And by this, time we were at the door a handsome house, and he opened with his latchkey, and ho took mi? through a It all to his garden, out of which opened a stable and carriage house. "Well, he had a pair of the best steppers I ever saw, and the carriage was a beauty, I can tell you. "There's a stain on one of the cush ions," said he "we broke a bottle of port wine there the other day. You won't mind that much, I dare say. And now name your price and take your bargain." It was a bargain, for I named much less than they were worth; and paid my money, and he gave me a receipt, and I drove away as proud as a pea cock. That night I went to the railway to wait for passengers, and picked up a young clergyman, with a lot of baggage, who wanted to go to II . He got in and I drove away, and nothing happen ed on the road; but when he alighted at the door of the house he was going to, he said, gravely : "I made no objections, on account of it's being a lady, coachman, but person's don't usually expect other passengers if they pay full price." "Other passengers, sir?" said I. "I don't understand you." "The young woman," said he, "who is asleep in the coach." , "She's got in unbeknown to me," says I. "I'll see about it." "No disturbance on my account," said he, and then the house-door opened and his friends came out. "I beg you'll not consider that I objected," said he, and tlen the house-door closed. It was quite dark, and I could not see anyone in the carriage when I put my head in. Then I struck a match. There was no one inside. "Is that his joke," said I to myself, "or is he a lunatic?" Then 1 banged the door to, mounted, and drove off. All next day I drove my coach, and made a good thing by it, and at night I went to the station again. This time I took up two ladies, with bags and bundles, who were in a hurry. So I drove on fast. "We'd gone a good way when I felt a signal to stop, and did so. "Well, ma'am?" says I, looking into the coach. Oh !" says one of the ladies, in a faint Yolce. "Oh, I'm so glad you've heard at last. We've been pulling and calling ever so lung. We're frightened to death. What is the matter with this lady?" "What lady?" said I. " by this one," said she. "How do we know but it's something catching she's so ill." "If slip's ill, you'd better get her home to her friends," said I. "She looked well enough when you got in." "Maybe it's a faint," said she. "Oh, do come and help us, we're so frightea- i ed." I got down off my bjx and opened the door of the carriage. Out flew both of my passengers, pale as ghosts. "Well, ladies, which of you is ill ?" "Neither of us," said one; "the lady who was in the carriage wfijeji we got ! in." . ; . "I think she's dead" said the other "There's nobody in the carriage but you two ladies," said I. "Maybe some one has put her in while your back was turned," said the eldest. I looked into the coach. "Just prove it to yourselves," said I, lighting a match. "No one here." "There isn't" said the eldest lady, "but there was." "Pshaw!" said I. "Either of you la dies near sighted?" "No," said the youngest, "neither of us; and I saw a woman plainly, and I for one won't go in that coacli again." "I can't be fooled that way," said I. But the eldest lady stopped me by paying full fare down and telling me to set her trunks on the pavement. "I'd rather sit on the all night." said she, "than ride in that thing aga;n." "The lunatics are all coming to these parts," said I. But after all, I lost nothing by these two still, somehow, I didn't speak of them to Peggy. The next day all was right, and at night I took some people to a ball a earriagef ul of them and back the same way. The next night a lady and gentleman engaged the carri age, and when ve had gone some dis tance the gentleman stopped me. "Driver," he said, getting out, "I want to speak to you. Why did you admit a lady to our carriage?" "Sir," said I, "I had no right without your permission and I did not." "We found one there," said he, "and naturally, my wife don't like it. We've spoken to her and she doesn't answer. Perhaps she's ill." Meanwhile the lady alighted. I look ed in. 'There's no one there," said I "no one, at all." "I see there is not," said the gentle man, "but " "Oh. James, don't get in there again." said the lady. "We've only a little way to walk now." And the;.', too, paid my fare aud left me. And sgain I did not tell Peggy, though I wished to. But what should happen n?xt evening but coming home I saw my wife walking on the pave ment. She'd been to spend the even ing at her mother's. "Take me home, Simon." "Jump in," says I. And away we drove, when suddenly Peggy called to me: "Simon ! Simon !' "Well- "Let rne out, Simon," say3 she. "Why?" "I'll tell you," says she. Then I lighted down and opned the door for her. "I ain't going to ride with such char acters as that," said she. "Besides, her looks scare me -she's as white as a corpse." "Characters?" said I. "Why didn't you tell me you had a passenger?" said she. "There's a wo man there such a strange looking wo man. No good in her, I'm sure. And when I said, 'excuse me ma'am; I did liot know there was a passenger in my husband's carriage when I asked him t.o take me,' she didn't say anything; and when 1 said, 'A fine night,' she did not answer such airs!" - "I tell you there ain't no woman there," said I. "What ails you all?" "What ails me is, I'll go home in the 'bus," says Peggy. And she di'i. That night she stuck to it that there was a woman in the coach; I stuck to it there wasn't, and we had our first t;ff. Well, nothing happened for awhile but one rainy night I was waiting for ptissengers at a theater-door, and I be thought me to get into the coach for shelter, 1 got in and sat close up in a corner, and in a minute fell asleep. It couldn't have been a long nap, but when I awoke there was some one sit ting opposite me. I saw by the light of the street lamp that it was a wo man. She'.was wrapped.in a great white shawl or something, and was pale as death. "Excuse me, Madam," said I; "we drivers have a hard life of it, and get pretty well tired out. I fell asleep without meaning to. Where shall I take you?" She did not answer. I saw now that her eyes were shurj and I thought by her look she had fainted. Then I leaned farvvard and touched her or tried to, for I felt nothing nothing like tlesh; but all of a sudden it felt as if my blood was made of prickles, and my arms were jerked backward, and I turned so numb I couldn't move. By the time I felt like myself again, t' ere was no one in the carriage but myself, I knew that, whatever my passengers had eeen there, I had at last seen it with my own eyes. T c-. .1 . 1 .nti in.! linrsrc nprt I:1V and in seilinz them I had to show the bill of sale, so to speak, I had fronr their old owner. "Mr. Greenbaugh," says the dealer "Mr. Oliver Greenbaugh? Well, ell, you know what's happened to him, ! don't you ?" "No, said I, "I don't. Vailed, perhaps?" "No" said the dealer, he is under ar rest for mnrder.- llather a wild young man ho has been, they say, and of course there was a lady in the case ope of those hysterical bod:es that give a man trouble. They say he killed her drove her out himself one day to a lonely spot and killed her in the carriage and left her body in the road.. The man who drove for him says he was sent to clean a wine-stain otf the cushions one day; but he didn't believe it was wine at the time. Now he knows it was blood, and he said " There he stopped. "I say, maybe this is the carriage," he cried, "May to it is," said I, "but you've bought it now. I'm rid of it." "And it's none of my affair," said he. lie new-cushioned the trap next day and I've never heard of the lady being seen in it by the stylish family that bought it. But I'd not drive it again for a kingdom no. not I. TELEGRAPHIC ! .WITHDRAWAL OF TROOPS. An Order by the President. LOUISIANA. Washington, April 20. The presi dent this afternoon addressed the fol lowing letter to Secretary McCrary : Sir Prior to my entering upon the duties of the presidency there had been stationed, by order of my predecessor, in the immediate vicinity of the build ing used as the State House in New Orleans, Louisiana, and known as Me chanic's Institute a detachment of United States infantry. Finding them in that phn-e I have thought proper to delay decision of the question of their removal until I could determine whether the condition of affairs is now such as to either require or justify con tinued military intervention of the na tional government in affairs ef the state. In my opinion there docs not now exist in Louisiana such domestic violence as is contemplated by the con stitution as ground upon which the military power of the national govern ment may be invoked for defense of state disputes which exist. The right of certain claimants to the chief exe cutive office of that state are to be set tled and determined not by the execu tive of the United States, but by such orderly and peaceful methods as may be provided by the constitution and laws of the state. Having assurance that no resort to violence is contem plated, but on the contrary disputes in question are to be settled by peaceful methods under and in accordance with law I deem it proper to take action in accordance with principles announced when I entered upon the duties of the presidency. You are therefore direct ed to see that proper orders are issued for removal of said troops at an early date from their present position to such regular barracks in the vicinity as may be selected for their occupa tion. (Signed) It. B. Hayes. The necessary order to Gen. Sherman was then made by Secretary McCrary p TriE COMMISSION COMMENDED. New Orleans, April 20. The Pic ayune, referring to the commission says: The labors of members of the commission are virtually at an end.' The result of their mission is tho sub ject of congratulation to them and to the public. We congratulate these gentlemen, as well as the president and people of Louisiana, upon the suc cessful termination of their difficult and delicate mission, although the re sult is that which we claim we had a right to expect. The public appreciate the fact that it has been reached after fair and patient and non-partisan in vestigation of the case. The members of the commission will carry away with them the hearty good-will and high respect of the people of Louisiana and their sincere wishes for their fu ture happiness and welfare. The Democrat says the gratification on the part of gentlemen of the com mission, when they are able to an nounce the end of their labors can bo appreciated by those who have witnessed their close application since their visit here. Members of the com mission feel that in a great measure their labors are ended, and the draw ing up ef their final report is all that is left. It was pleasant to see the grat ified air of gentlemen of the commis sion over this solution of the problem, and their glee was not in the least dis guised. A POLITICAL. SENSATION PUOBABLY WITHOUT FOUNDATION. San Francisco, April 20. The Ar gonaut, Frank Pixley's new weekly, will publish the following to-morrow: "We understand from a source which we believe to be thoroughly reliable that there is now in possession of a senator of the United States at present in this city, a paper of the utmost po litical i i jiortance to the country, and one which, if all that, is said about it be true, will create such a sensation as the country has not known since the days of the electoral tribunal. THE PAPER is nothing more nor less than a copy of a set of resolutions which it is the purpose of Mr. James C. Blaine to in troduce in the Senate at the meeting of Congress in June. The resolutions, af ter setting forth that there exist grave doubts in the minds of a large propor tion of the American people as to the legality of the final settlement of the Presidential question which resulted in the inauguratiwn of Mr. Hayes, go on to say that is due to the American people, and particularly to tho millions who, while believing that Mr. Hayes had been defeated, yet accepted the da cision in his favor in good faith, to submit the question to final arbitra ment of the highest tribunal known to the constitution the supreme court of the United States; that inasmuch as the propriety of such proceedings may be held to bo a matter of doubt, be cause of the fact that five members of that court were members of the late tribunal, therefore the resolutions pro pose a GRAND COURT OF ARBITRATION, created especially to consider all ques tions that may be brought before it re lating to the legality of Mr. Hayes' tenure, whether in the nature of quo warranto or otherwise, and that said court be composed of chief justices of the supreme courts of each State in the Union thirty-eight judges in all. That portion of the resolutions which propose this court takes the form of a bill to which is added a provision that any person other than the defeated candidate may bring action to dispos sess the present incumbent. We hope this is only a canard with out foundation. Nothing short of di rect civil war could be fought with more evil to the country than such a move would bo in every way. TWEED'S CONFESSION. Tweed has at last made a volumi nous confession implicating members of the Legislature in New York, one editor and some attorneys. All he asks is freedom and peace, claiming he is an old broken-down man and needs rest. Of course everybody, nearly implica ted rushes to the front with a denial, but it is thought Tweed's story is, in the main, true. It leaves no doubt of the complicity of Oakey Hall. Such is the lasl of old Tammany scoundrel-ism. WORTH READING. Ingersolliana. Either a feast or a famine of Cre. Like a sword of wax in a flame of fire.

I never want any church to get its clutch on any school in this country. When you get .an infinite Being in the constitution t here'll be no room for the folks. Give us a double standard and they can't hoard the silver any faster than we can dig it. What tho gods have for me I'm go ing to get myself. I w ant no middle man to divide with. When he saw our (lag iu a foreign land, it looked just a3 if the common air had burst into blossom. A politician has to be like the centre of the earth not weigh a pound him self and draw everything else to him. Speaking of the nation discrediting its silver : Why should Illinois issue a book to show that corn is unhealthy? It doesn't do a man any good now to get into an office unless he fills that office "chock full." The sixty or seventy dollar postoffi ces eive more trouble to the "states men" of this country than the south ern question. War settles nothing, except who is the stronger. When the sword leaves the scabbard, reason remains in the scabbard. I owe allegiance more to the Gener al government than to any state, and in that degree the government owes supreme protection to me. Crowns on the head are no longer of any account without brains in the head. How do you think King Wil liam would like to trade heads with Bismarck ? Concerniug the theory of the "divine origin" of government: This is the first government in the world made by men for men. Men get the power to govern men here from the consent of the governed. There are lots of places aching to be taken; there is land everywhere crazy to be ploughed; theie are mountains of silver tired to death waiting to be digged: there are scores of inventions lurking in the f uturn waiting for us to find them if we'll only stop politics for a while.

FOR THE HOUSEHOLD. Reading by Subjects But per haps you don't know how to read by subjects. Let me tell you. Supposo you see an allusion to something that interests you say Sir Walter Raleigh;, look for his name in an encyclopedia or biographical dictionary (which you will find in every tolerable villago library). Reading of him, you will be come interested in Queen Elizabeth; look her up, in tho same books and in English history; obserre tho noted men of her reign, look them up, read their lives; read historical novels and poems of her times; look at the tablo of contents of magazines and reviews,, and read essays on tho subject. You see the way open before you. Once make a start, and there is scarcely an end to the paths you will with t fol low. If you have no special subject of in terest, take up an encyclopedia, slowly turn the leaves, and read any item that attracts you, not forcing yourself to read anything. If you have any life in you you will find something to inter est you; then you have your subject. If it is some historical person or event, proceed as I have already indi cated; if scientific, overhaul the dic tionaries of science, lives of scientific men, discussions of dispated points,, etc.; if geographical, turn to agazetter,, books of travel, etc. One hook wilt lead to another. Right here let me say, I hope you have access to these works of refer ence, either in your own house, or that of a friend, or at a public library. But if your case is the very worst if you have none, cannot buy them, and have no public library in your neighborhood,, let me advise you to drop everything else, and make it your sole and special mission to start one, either by influ encing your parents and older friends,, or getting up a club of your mates. A strong will and earnest efforts will accomplish wonders, and all older peo. plearc willing to help younger ones to useful tools. St. Nicholas. To RESTORE THE 1I.VIR ArTEU ILL, ness.

Wet a few pounds of unslackcd lime with, strong lye made from potash; let it bo quite soft ; spread it around tho holes, so that tho rats cannot avoid treading in it; let it remain a week cr so and if it gets dry scrape it off and moisten again. The mixture burns their feet and they will not bo likely to make a second visit. Do not let it come in contact with oilcloth or paint. Reyiew of Fashions The latitude allowed in fashions is undoubtedly and certainly seems greater than ever before, but it was nevermore absolute ly confined to certain limits; within those limits it is true that women who wish to bo considered fashionable can dress as they please, but out of them they are utter barbarians. 1'or exam ple, all large figures, all largo checks, primitive colora, wide solid stripes, and the like have disappeared as if by magic; so also have loose, straight, what are called "baggy" forms, and puffed or expanded drapery. The back of a dress is as straight as a ladder; fullness is only permitted upon tho lower part of the skirt, and is then massed and swung off into fan shapes. Within these limits, a3 before remark ed, ladies can dress as they please; they can wear tho Princesse dress with small mar.tlo or graceful fichu. They can wear skirt3 with a polonaise, or costumes consisting of overskirt and basque; they can have waists made in any fashion: blouse, smooth, basque, plain, double-breasted, cross over, buttoned behind or buttoned in front, or even an old-fashioned "round" waist if it is only cut long. In sleeves there is precisely tho same, dergee of liberty; it is liberty with cer tain restrictions; sleeves must on no account be wide, or loose, or "baggy;" but they mav be cut oil at or below tho elbow, be carried down to the wrist, or left out alogether, according to taste. Of course the latter freedom is only al lowed in "full" dress, which meanji as little dress above as you choose, but a good deal below. DcnarcxVs Magazine.
