I struggled among thrco couraoB.
Tho impulsos of my honrt. iolnnil to
iomo prcBdonco of trouble bndo mo to
rollow Kllzaboth. My duty ordered
mo to hnston to Mr. Cnllioiin. My In
terest demanded Hint I should tnrry,
I'or I whb Htiro thnt tho llaroucss von
Kits would mnko no merely idle ro
ilueBt In tlieno circumstances. Heal'
tntlng thus, I loat Bight of hor In tho
throng. So I concluded I would obey
Iho mandate, of duty, nnd turned to
vord tho Brent doors. Indeed, I was
well townrd tho ntops which led out
Into tho grounds, whon nil nt onco two
olomontR of my problem resolved
thomsolven Into ono. I saw tho tall
flBitro of Mr. Cnlhoun hltnnolf coming
ip tho wnlk townrd mo.
"Ah," snld ho brlofly, "then my mea
ago found you?"
"I wnH stnrtlng for you this moment,
Hlr," I replied.
"Wnlt for a moment. I counted on
finding you hero. Matters hnvo
changed."
I turned with him and wo entered
again tho cost room, whoro Mr. Tylor
Btlll prolonged tho official groetlng of
tho curious, tho obsequious, or tho
banal persons who naHsed. Mr. Cnl-
lioun stood apart for n tltno, watching
iho progress or this puroly American
function. It was boiuo tlrno ero tho
groups thinned. This lnttor fact us
ually would hnvo ended tho reception,
Klnco it Is not ctlquetto to Btipposo
thnt tho prcnldont can lnck nn nudi
unco; but today Mr. Tylor llngorcd.
At InBt through tho thinning throng
ho caught eight or tho dlstlnctlvo fig
uro of Mr. Calhoun. For tho first
tlrno his own fnco assumed n nnturnl
uxprcsslon. Ho stopped tho lino for
nn InBtnnt. nnd with a rained hand
beckoned to my chlof.
At this wo dropped in nt tho tail of
iho lino, Mr. Calhoun In passing grasp
ing nlmoBt na ninny lunula as Mr.
Tyler. When nt length wo reached
tho president's position, tho lnttor
i;rootcd him and added a whlsporod
word. An Instant later ho turned
abruptly, ending tho reception with n
Joop bow, and retired Into tho room
Mom which ho had earlier emerged.
Mr. Cnlhoun turned now to mu with
a roqucst to follow him, and wo passed
itnrougn the door whoro tho nresldent
had vanished. Directed by attendants,
wo woro presently ushered Into yet
another room, which at that tlrno
served tho president as his cablnot
room, n placo for incctlnc persons of
distinction who called upon business.
Ab wo entered I snw that It was al
ready occupied. Mr. Tylor was grasp-
ling uio hand of a portly personage,
whom I know to bo nono other thnn
Mr. l'akonhnm. So much intent have
been expected. What wns not to havo
bpon expected wna tho nresonco of nn-
other nono less than tho Ilaronesa

So wo wcro apparently to under.
r.lnnd that my lady was horo as open

cd no word from Mr. Cnlhoun to ro-
mind mo that wo must soom lenorant
of this lady, of hor character, nnd or

I Pray you bo Boated. Mr. Palmn.

Knch having thus dollvored himself
of words which moant nothing, both
now acnted thomsolvos and proceeded
to look mighty gravo. For myself, I
Btolo a glanco from tho tall of my oyo
toward tho Baroness von Itltz. She Bat
erect in her chair, a flguro of easy
graco nnd dignity, but on hor face was
nothing ono could rond to tell who
alio was or why sho was horo.
"I boIzo upon thin opportunity, Mr.
Pakcnhnm," Bald Mr. Tylor presently,
with a smllo which ho meant to Bet
nil at case and to Bofton as much as
possible tho severity of that which
wus to follow, "I gladly tako this op
portunlty to mention In an Informal
way my hopo that this matter which
was already Inaugurated by Mr. Up
shur beforo his ttntlmoly death may
como to perfectly ploasnnt consumma
tion. I refer to tho question of
Toxns."
"I bog pardon, your oxcollency," ro
Joined Mr. Pakonhnm, half rising.
"Your meaning is not porfoctly clear
to mo."
Tho 8amo icy smllo sat upon Mr.
Tylor'n fnco ns ho wont on: "I cannot
bollovo thnt your government can
wish to intorforo In mutters upon this
continent to tho oxtont of taking tho
position of open nlly or tho Republic
or Moxlco, a powor bo rocontly nt wnr
upon our own bordors, with tho bravo
Toxans who hnvo loft our ling to sot
up, through fnlr conquest, a republic
of their own."
Tho mottled faco or Mr. Pakenhnm
nsnunicd a yot deeper red. "As to that,
your oxcollency," said ho, "your re
mark Is, ns you say, qulto informnl, of
courso that is to say, as I may
state"
"Quito so," rojolned Mr. Tylor grave
ly. "Tho noto of my Lord Aberdeen
to us, nono tho less, in tho point of Its
bearing upon tho question or slavery
In Texas, appears to this government
as nn expression which ought to bo
disavowed by your own government.
Do I mnko myself qulto clonr?" (With
John Cnlhoun present, Mr. Tylor could
nt times nssunio a courage though ho
had it not)
Mr. Pakcnhnm'n fnce glowed n deep
er red. "I mil not at liberty to dis
cuss my Lord Aberdeen's wishes 'in
thlB mnttor," ho snld. "Wo mot horo
upon a puroly informal matter, and"
"I havo only vontured to hopo," re
joined Mr. Tyler, "that tho personal
kindness of your own heart might
movo you In bo gravo a matter na
that which may load to war between
two powors."
"Wnr, Blr, war!" Mr. Pakenhnm
wont wholly purplo In his surprise,
nnd sprang to his feet "War!" ho re
pented onco moro. "As though there
could bo any hope "
"Quito right, sir," snld Mr. Tyler
grimly. "As though there could bo any
hopo for us save In our own conduct
of our own affairs, without any Inter
ference from any forolgn powor!"
I knew it was John Cnlhoun speak
ing tboso words, not Mr. Tylor. I saw
Mr. Calhoun's keon, cold eyes flxotl
elosoly upon tho faco of his president
Tho constornatlon crenlcd by tho lat

"Of courso, this conversation is en

tirely Irregular I mean to any, whol
ly ttnolllclal, your excellency?" hesi
tated Pakenhnm. "It takes no part
In our records?"
"Assuredly not," said Mr. Tylor. "I
only hopo tho question may nover
como to a matter of record at nil.
Onco our country knows that dicta
tion has boon nttompted with us, oven
by England horsolf, tho north will Join
tho south In rosontmont. Even now,
In reHtlvoness at the fancied attitude
or England toward Mexico, the west
rulsos tho demand that wo shall end
tho Joint occupancy of Oregon with
Oroat Hrltaln. Do you perchance
know tho wutchword which is now on
tho populnr tongue- west of tho Alio
ghnntea? It bids fair to become un
Amorlcau 'Marsolllulso.' "
"I must confess my ignorance," re
joined Mr. Pakenhnm.
"Our bnckwoodsmon havo Invented
n phraso which runs 'Fifty-Four Forty
or Fight!'"
"I beg pardon, I am sure, your ex
cellency?" "It means that If we conclude to tor

stream which our mariners first ex
plored, as we contend and If we con
cludo to dispute with England as well
regarding our delimitations on tho
southwest, whoro sho has ovou less
right to speak, then we shall contend
for all that territory, not only up to
the Columbia, but north to the Rus
sian lino, tho parallel of C4 degrees
and 40 minutes! We claim that wo
onco bought Texas clear to tho Itlo
Grando, from Napoleon, although tho
foolish treaty with Spain In 1819
clouded our title in tho bollof of our
Whig friends, who do not deslro moro
nlnvo territory. Even the Whigs think
thnt wo owu Orogon by virtue of first
navigation or tho Columbia. Doth
Whigs and Democrats now demand
Oregon north to Gl degrees, 40 min
utes. The alternative? My Lord Ab
erdeen Biiroly makes no deliberate bid
to hoar it!"
"Oh fight!" oxclnlmed Pnkenham.
"Cod bless my soul! Fight us?"
Mr. Tylor llushod. "Such things
have been," said ho with dignity.
At this astounding speech the Brit
ish minister sat dumbfounded. This
air of courage and confidence on tho
part of Mr. Tylor himself was some
thing forolgn to his record. I knew
tho reason for his boldness. John Cal
houn sat at his right, hand.
'At this point, your excellency, tho
dignity of her majesty's servlco would
lead mo to oak oxcuao," rejoined Mr.
Pakenhnm formnlly, "woro It not for
one fact, which I should like to offer
hero. I have, In short, news which
will appear full warrant for any com
munication thuB far mndo by hor maj
esty's government. I can assuro you
that thoro has como into the posses
sion of this Indy, whoso able services
I venturo to enlist horo in her pies
enco, a communication from tho Ho
public of Texas to tho government of
England. That communication Is
done by no less a hand than that of
tho attache for tho Republic of Texas,
Mr. Van Zandt himself."
There was, 1 think, no other formal
Invitation for tlio Harmless von Kltz
to speak; but now sho arose, awopt a
curtBoy first to Mr Tyler and then to
Mr. Pakenluun and Mr Calhoun.
"It is not to bo expected, your ex
cellency and gentlemen," said bIio,
"that I can add anything of vnluo
horo." Her eyes wore domurely down
cast. "We do not doubt your familiarity
with many of these late events," en
couruged Mr. Tyler.
"True," alio continued, "tho note of
my Lord Aberdeen is today the prop
erty of the streets, and of thlB I hnvo
sonto knowledge. I can see, also, diffi
culty In Its reception among tho cour
ugoouB gentlemen of America. Hut,
us to any written communication from
Mr. Van Zaudt, there must be some
mlstnko!"
"I was of the Impression that you
would have had It last night," rejolnod
Pakenhnm, plainly confused; "In fact,
thnt gcntlomuu advised me to such ef
fect." Tho Hnroness Helena von Itltz looked
him full In tho faco and only irravolv
shook hor head. "I regret matters
should be ao much at rault," said sho.
"Then let mo explain." -esumed
Pakcnham, almost angrily. 'I will
state unofllclnlly, of coursethat tho
promises of Mr. Van Zandt were that
hor majesty might expect un early
end of tho talk of tho annexation of
Texas to tho United States. Tho
greater power of England upon land
or sea would assuro that weak repub
lic of a great and enlightened ally
In hlB belief."
"An ally!" broke out Mr. Calhoun.
"And a document Bent to that effect
by the attncho of Texas!" Ho smiled
coldly. "Two things seem very appar
ent, Mr. President. First, that this
gentlo lady 8tauds high In tho respect
of England's ministry. Second, that
Mr. Vau Zandt, If all this were true,
ought to stand very low in ours. I
would say all this and much more,
oven wcro it a stato utterance, to
stand upon the records of this na
tion!" "Sir," interrupted Mr. Tyler, swiftly
turning to Mr. Calhoun, "may I not
ask you that It bo left as a stato ut
terance?" Mr. Calhoun bowed with the old
time grace habitual to him.
"Mr. Calhoun," continued tho presi
dent, "you know that tho office of our
secretary or Btate is vacant. Thero Is
no one living would servo in that ofllco
moro wisely than yourself, no ono
moro In accordance with my own
views as to these very questions which
are beforo us. Since It has como to
that point, I offer you now that office,
nnd do so olllclally. I ask your an
swer." The faco of England's minister now
for tho first tlrno went colorless. Ho
knew what this meant.
As for John Cnlhoun. he played with
both of them as n cat would with a
incuse, sneerlngly superior. Ills an
swer was couched In terms oulted to
his own purposes. "Tills dignity, Mr.
President," said he. bowing deeply
ngaln, "so unexpected, so onerous, so
responsible, Is ono which nt lenst
needs time Tor proper consideration.
1 must crave opportunity for reflection
and for pondering. In my surprlso nt
your suddon request, I find no proper
answer rcudy."
Here, then, seemed an opportunity
for delny, which Mr. Pakenhnm was
swift to grasp. Ho arose nnd bowed
to Mr. Tyler. "1 am sure thnt Mr.
Cnlhoun will require some days ut
least for tho framltiK of his answer
to nn Invitation so grave an this."
"I shall require at least sonio mo
ments," snld Mr. Calhoun, smiling.
"That 'Marseillaise' of '41. Mr. Presi
dent, says -Fifty-Four Forty or Fight.'
That means 'the Itlo Grande or light,'
ns well."
A short silence tell upon us all.
Mr. Tylor lialf rose and half frowned
as ho noticed .Mr. Pakenhnm shuffling
us though ho would depart.
"It shall bo, of course, as you sug
gest," said the president to Pakon
hnm. "There is no record of any of
this. Rut tho answer of Mr. Calhoun,
which I nwalt and now demand, Is ono
which will go upon the records of this
country soon enough, l fancy. 1 ask
you. then, to hear what Calhoun re
plies." "I havo had some rortain momonts
for reflection, Mr. President." said ho,
"and I have from the first momont of
this surprising offor on your part been
humbly aonalblo of tho honor offered
ao old and so unfit a mnn.
"Sir, if I tako this offlco which you
offer, I do so with the avowed and ex
pressed purpose of bringing Toxns
Into this Union, in full vlow of nny
nnd all consequences. I shnll offer
hor a treaty of annexation at onco! I
shall urgo annexation at every hour,
in xsvery place, In all wnya within my
means, and in full view of tho conse
quences!" He looked now gravely
and keonly at tho Englishman.-
"Thnt is well understood, Mr. Cnl
houn," bogan Mr. Tyler. "Your views
nro in full nccord with my own.
"What, thon, Is tho answer of John
Calhoun to tills latest call of his coun
try?" That answer is one which Is In our
history.
"John Cnlhoun accepts!" said my
master, loud and clear.

In Its comprehensive report on tho

"The engineering structures of tho

Irrigation a New Art.
'Modem irrigation, being a relative
Ij new nrt In this country, much freo
doin wns allowed local engineers in
Uio design of minor structures. Whilo
this was a wlso policy In the early
stages of this work, It has res't'd t
complicated nnd unnecessarily expen

knowledge of tho comparative merits
of tho different types, it is believed
that standard designs of tlio simplost,
satisfactory type should bo adopted
for nil minor structures.
'Tho most uncertain featuro or near

in the prosecution of its work tho

FUL CURE OF PSORIASIS.
"I havo been afflicted for twenty

called by some M. D.'s. psoriasis, and
others leprosy, commencing on my

with tho help or tho most skilful doc

In tho latter part of winter my Bkin
