. 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?"

.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.

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

careful not to scratch or irritate tho

ing. Tho mixture should be mado
at least once in three days, even in,
cool weather.
To Rid a House of Rats. Wet a
few pounds of unslackcd lime with,
strong lye made from potash; let it bo

so that tho rats cannot avoid treading

it gets dry scrape it off and moisten
again. The mixture burns their feet

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.
