MATED BY HATCHES.
A small room, poorly furnished ; a
pot of mignonnettc in the window;
a girl at work at tbe table, sewing
steadily. She would have been
pretty if she bad not been so poor.
If 9he had been better fed, Bhe
would have bad a rosy cheek ; if she
bad had freedom and less labor, she
would have had dimples ; if she had
worn a dress of violet silk, instead
of (he faded calico, it would have
brought out the fairness of her skin
and the golden hue of her hair. As
it was, Alice Morne was pale, and
pinched, and sad, with the sewing
girl's heavy heart.
She rose suddenly and folded up
her work a child's garment, of fine
cambric, trimmed with dainty lace.
She made a package of it, donned
her bounet, and shawl, and went
out of her lodging-house.
o8he threaded tbe commercial
streets rapidly, and soon emerged
upon the avenues of wealthy private
residences. Here it was quieter.
The dusk was gathering. Now and
then a carriage rolled by. One or
two stately bouses were lighted for
receptions. Many more were som
berly closed. Alice went on, with
her quiet, rapid step.
She stopped at last before a house
all in a blaze of light. Costly lace
curtains concealed the luxurious
rooms within; the soft notes of a
piano came softly upou the girl's
ear.
"The Tracys give another party
to-night," said Alice.
She went into the area and rang
tbe bell. A servant admitted her.
She went in with her bundle.
She came nut with a light ftep.
The work had been approved, and
she bad been paid. A little dazzled
with the scene she bad just emerged
from, she paused upou (he pavement
to count her money.
"Give me a cent,' said a little
beggar-boy starting somewhere out
of tbe silent shadows.
"What do you want It for?" ask
ed Alice.
'I'm hungry," answered the child.
He wan pale and pinched.
"Here's a dime ; I would give you
more if I could," she said.
The child took it eagerly. She
passed on, with less than $2 to buy
supper and pay for a week's rent.
She bad more work. When it
was finished Bhe came the same way
again in the dusk. As slm passed
over the sidewalk a faint line of
white attracted her attention.
There was a knob of glasB, gener
ally called a " bull's-eye," in the
pavement. It is usually inserted
over a coal vault, and is removed to
admit the coals. This one had not
been adjusted with exactitude, and
at the crevice appeared a line of
white. Alice stooped down and ex
amined it. It was the edge of a
folded paper.
She drew it out with a wild tho't
that it might be some valuable check
or draft. But it contained only a
few words, written in pencil :
"I have watched for you constant
ly for a week. If you would save
my life come back here, and all
night long place matches where you
found this paper. You shall be re
warded with all you can ask.
A Pbisoneb."
Alice closed the paper in her hand
and looked around bewildered. No
one was to be seen. She looked
down at the lump of dull glass, but
it was entirely opaque. Tbe boll's
eye was not set quite evenly it its
place. She touched it with her foot,
bnt-conld not more it. After wait
ing a moment, confused and in
doubt, she passed on, recollecting
her errand.
Tbe area door admitted her. Tbe
servant had a child on her arm, tbe
dainty little thing for whom Alice
made garments.
"Mrs. Tracy said you was to come
up to her chamber, said she. "You
know the way."
The lady whom she met was not
lovely; she was sallow and dark;
very disagreeable-looking clutch
ing her cashmere gown at the breast,
and turning impatiently toward her
little sewing-girl.
"Why did you not corao before?"
she asked, in a hoarse voice, with a
slight French accent. "The'cbild
should have bad that dress to drive
in to-day."
"I was sick yesterday ; I could not
finish it," answered Alice, tremu
lously. Madame snatched the package,
tearing it open, and letting tbe little
embroidered robe fall upon tbe bed.
"Well, here is your money," said
she, opening a velvet purse. "Next
time I will employ some one who
will do as they promise."
Alice turned away with a burst
ing heart for tbe woman's words
meant starvation to her. She dared
not raise her voice in reply: .the
divined troiy that tbe heart under
that rich robe was one of stone.
As the passed down stairs, she
hear.a a Iqw voice. It" proceeded
from one of the rooms about her.
"And he is 21 to-day?" it said.
"Yes; it is three years since liia
mysterious disappearance," with a
sneering laugb.
The voices were stealthy. A door
closed and shut them in.
Alice passed down into the street.
'She walked fast, treading, un
thinkingly, upon the bull's-eye, and
went home. When she flung her
self down to weep, she suddenly
felt the crumpled paper in her hand.
What should she do? She lay
thinking a long time. She consid
ered the strangeness of the request,
the possibility that it was not meant
for her, the idea that it was a hoax,
or written by some madman for it
was a man's hand-writing.
But the girl's heart was warm and
true. The possibility that some one
was in trouble, and she might help
them, was the thought that had the
most weight. With no one to coun
sel or object, she obeyed it.
She went to a store and spent $1
of her precious money for matches.
She received a large pnekage, con
taining thousands of the little
lucifera.
The city clocks were striking 9 as
she reached the bull'a-eje.
The street was silent, the pave
ment deserted. As she bent down,
some one tapped upon the bull's-eye.
She slipped a sheet of matches into
the crevice. It disappeared. She
waited a lew moments ; the hand
tapped tor more ; she supplied them.
As she waited again a pedrstriau
approached. She rose, and stepped
back into the shadows until he had
paosed ; otherwise, she did not fear.
The street was quiet, and she could
see the stars twinkling in the clear
sky.
Hour after hour she supplied
matches, at. interval of quarter
hour?. Occasionally tbe rap came
for ao earlier demand. Itut she
could nnt see the hand. She culy
imagined it to be a man'n.
It wad loug pant midnight. The
cily clocks were near striking- 2
when her matches became exhaust
ed. She had not been hufliciently
s.upplied, rfhe thought.
Quite at a loss what she ought to
do, she rose from her cramped po
sition, stauding in doubt, when a
voice said :
"Come with me I"
She started iu terror, for a man
stood beBido her; hut the next words
reassured her:
"It is 1 whom you gave the match
es to ; do not be afraid, hut take my
arm, and walk fast. I am not bate
here."
Alice could see only a tall form,
and a pale face, the features of
which she could not distinguish ;
but the voice, though hurried, was
gently modulated, and the stranger
took her hand with a grasp that was
not unpleasant.
"You must be tired ; but this has
been a good night's work for you,
little girl," he said.
"What did you want the matches
for?" asked Alice, trembling.
He had drawn her hand within
his own, and she was walking rap
idly beside him.
"It was the only way in which I
conld get fire," he answered. "The
heat melted the cement which in
closed a bull's-eye in the wall of my
prisou, and I escaped through the
cavity. It was larger than tbe one
in the pavement. I have been a
prisoner in my own house for three
years."
As they left the vicinity of the
Tracy dwelling, he walked slower.
"I was quite helpless," he added.
"I knew of no one to appeal to whom
I could trust. But listening and
waiting, as a man only listens and
waits for freedom, I grew familiar
with your step as it passed so often
oveFtbu bull's-eye and up the steps,
and a week ago, when I heard your
voice to that beggar-boy, I resolved
to trust you. I knew your tread the
instant that it touched the curb
stone, and I slipped the paper up
the crevice. You saw it immediate
ly. The hours till yon came papsed
heavily; you were my only hope.
You are a brave, good child. Now,
where Is your home? Can I go
there for a little rest before day
light?" "It la a poor place," said Alice,
"but you are welcome."
Daylight was dawning when she
revealed her poverty-stricken little
room to him. He flung himself into
a chair and dropped bis face on bis
folded arms upon the table. Alice
fancied that he was praying, and
moyed about noiselessly, preparing
a little breakfast. She did not real
ize that this man was young and
handsome, and it was not, perhaps,
propriety to have him there. She
was only zealous, in her pity, to
serve him, seeing, by daylight, how
ill he looked.
But by uoon there were strange
doings in the little sewing-girl's
room. She had been sent for a law-'
yer, tbe most renowned and popular
one in the city, and he came with
two other gentlemen, so grand that
.little Alice was quite awe-stricken.
Finally, Mr. Lionel Tracy that was
the name of her hero went away
with them, and she was left alone
with her property aud her wonder.
Only she was not quite so helpless
and distressed as she had been, for
one of tho strange gentleman had
smiled upou her, and left a few
pieces of gold on her table.
But the Kiaryel was all over with
her, and the gold was spent, and
poverty and labor and care bad come
back, wheu, one day, there was a
knock at the door, and tbe landla
dy's little girl said that a carriage
was standing for her, and a man in
waiting said that she had been sent
for.
What could she do but obey the
summons? wondering what fairy
work it was that luxurious ride
until she began to see through it,
for the carriage stopped at the Tra
cy mansion.
There had been great public ex
citement tbe papers had been
charged with the development of
the infamous plot in high llfe,where
by tbe true heir of the great fortune
had been drugged, while ill, and
concealed, and a story trumped up
about his mysterious disappearance;
but Alice, in her solitude, bad
known nothing about it. Her pen
nies went for bread instead of news.
But when she stepped upon the
threshold, Lionel Tracy, the restored
master, met her with a tender cour
tesy that took away all her fear, and
made her feel like a little queen in
he midt of the splendor.
"Have the rest all gone away?"
shft asked, seeing no one but new
servants, and a pleasant woman.who
was tho housekeeper.
"Yes; I am quite alone, and shall
he, unless you will come and live
with me," said Mr. Lionel Tracy.
"Do yon want a sewing-girl?"
asked Alice, innocently.
"No; I want a wife," he answer
ed ; "one whom I nan love with
all my heart, as I do you, Alice.
Will you come?"
Did she? Well, yes. And the
public had auother episode to excite
them the famous Lionel Tracy's
marriage. Alice grew charming
with happiness, and she was chron
icled as a beauty whpn she became
his bride. She laughs, and says
I she bought happiness cheaply with
malcnes.
The Cost oftke War.
TWO MILLION'S OF LIVES A.VD KIFTY
THOUSAND MILLIONS OF DOLLARS.
Gen. Bank's Speech at Chicago.
It was a terrible struggle. I am
uot going to say much about it not
much, but I tell you it was a terrible
struggle. It lasted the better part
of four or five years. It cost us2,
OQO.OOO of lives, for broken hearts
fill more graves even than the shot
and shell of battle. The govern
ment of the United States announc
ed only a week or ten days ago that
out of the treasury the government
paid .$6,000,000,000 as the cost of the
war. Mr. Stevens, the historian of
the confederate states of America,
as they were called, declares that it
cost the people of that section of
the country alone $11,000,000,000,
making $17,000,000,000 from these
two items alone. I have no doubt
thinking of this often and seriously
for many months I have no doubt
I should be within the limits of
probability aud reason if I told you
that that war cost this country $50,
000,000,000. Twenty years have
passed since the time that I came
here to which I have alluded, when
there seemed to me a prospect that
I might be somebody if I could only
remain less than 20 years by some
three or four months; and now, as I
stand here to-night, I see tbe very
men that made the most causeless
war that the history of the world
ever exhibited; the very men that
cost us 2,000,000 lives, the very men
that without wrongs, without any
cause, involved ns in the sacrifice of
nearly 50,000,000,000 ; these men,
without the support of the people of
any State, without the concurrence
of auy portion of the public opinion
in the United States; these very
men are in possession, absolute pos
session, of the House of Represent
atives of the United States, to do
with its laws just exactly what they
please. And these very men that
brought this causeless trouble, of
such terrible results, upon us, bave
possession of the senate of the Uni
ted States, to do with that part of
the government whatever they
please; and thoy only want one
power more to make their victory
complete, and to put tbe Union sol

under their heels so far as tbe, exer
cise, or ao far as the Influence, of
the political power of the govern

New Yobk, Aug. (. The recep
tion and serenade to-night to Gen.
Garfield at headquarters of the re
publican national committee on
Fifth Avenue, turned out a brilliant
success, the avenue and surrounding
streets being thronged with an en
thusiastic crowd. Tbe rooms of the
committee were thronged with
prominent men of tbe republican
party, among whom wo noticed:
Senators Logan and Hasklns, Con
gressman Conger, Amos K. Thomp
son, of Ohio, and Senator Dorsey.
Shortly after 8 o'clock a sqnad ot
police opened a passage in tbe throng
estimated at 10,000 strong, and
escorted Gen. Garfield to tbe rooms
of the committee. Ab the presiden
tial candidate was recognized, cheer
after cheer rent the air, and even
rafter he disappeared in the inclosure
of the committee rooms. The crowd
expressed itself shouting until Gar
field appeared on the balcony, when
a scene of great enthusiasm ensued ;
hats flew in the air and it was with
great difficulty that police were able
to keep clear a passage way for the
boya in blue to pass. First was a
colored organization and then came
the Garfield and Arthur and other
clubs of different assemblies. After
the clubs had settled in their places,
Gen. Sharp introduced Gen. Garfield
who was received with enthneiastio
applause, which lasted over ten
minutes. When the cheers had ceas
ed, he srloke as follows:
Comrades, Boys In Blue, and Fel
low CitllPns of New York : I can
not look npon this great assemblage,
and these old veterans that havp
marched past ub, and listen to the
welcome from our comrade who ha?
just spoken, without remembering
how great a thing it is to live in this
great Union and be a part of it (ap
plause). This is New York and on
yonder bsttery more than one hun
dred yearn age, a young .student of
Columbia College wan arguing
ideas of American revolution and
American union against un-American
loyulty to monarchy to his col
lege president and professors; and
byo and bye he went into tbe
patriotic army, was placed on the
Half of Wanhinglon cheers to light
ihe battles of his country, cheer
and while in camp, before ho was
nineteen years otfl, on a drum-head
he wrote a letter which contained
every germ of Ihe constitution of
the union. Applause. That stu
dent, soldier, statesman and great
leader of thought Alexander Ham
ilton, of New York made thiB
republic glorious by his thinking,
and left his lasting impression on
New York, the foremost state of the
union, applause and here on this
island, the scene of his early tri
umphs, we gather to-night, soldiers
of the war, representing his -ideas of
union and glory, and adding to
columns of monuments that Hamil
ton and Washington and the heroes
of the revolution reared.
Gentlemen,, ideas outlive men
ideas ontlive all things, and you-who
fought tbe war for the union fought
for immortal ideas, and by their
might you crowned our war with
victory great applause ; but vic
tory was worth nothing, except the
fruits nnder it, in it and above it,
aud we must to-night, as veterans
and comrades, stand sacred guard
around the truth for which we
fought so long prolonged cheers,
and, while we have life to meet and
grasp tbe hands of comrades, we
will stand by the great fruits of the
war. Loud cheers.J Among tbe
convictions of that war which sunk
deep in our hearts, there are some
that we can never forget. Think ot
the great elevating spirit of the war.
We gathered boys from all our
farms and shops and stores and
schools and homes, from all over the
republic. They went forth unknown
to fame, but returned enrolled on
roster of immortal heroes. Great
applause.. They went in the spirit
of those soldiers of Henry at Agin
court, of whom he said, "Whom this
day sheds his blood with me, to-day
shall be my brother," and who
stands by tbe right this day shall
elevate his condition and elevate
the heart of every working soldier
who fought for it, applause and I
shall be hia brother for evermore.
We will remember our allies who
fought with us. 8oon after the
great struggle began we looked be
hind an army of white rebola and
saw 4,000,000 of black people con
demned to toil as slaves for our
enemies,, and we found that the
hearts of these 4,000,000 were God
inspired with the spirit of liberty,
and that they were our friends, ap
plause. We have aeen men betray
the flasr and .fight to kill the union,
Hint iu all that louy dreary war we
never saw traitors in black skins.
Great cheers.
Our prisoners cscapiug from the
slarvation of prison, fleeing to our
lines by tho light of the North star,
never feared to enter a black man's
cabin, and ask for bread. "Good,
good, that's so," and cheers. In
all that suffering and danger no un
ion soldier waa ever betrayed by a
black man or woman applause,and
now that we have made them free,
so long as we live we will stand by'
those black citizens. Renewed ap
plause. We rill stand by them
until the sun of liberty fixed in the
firmament of our conatitntion shall
shine 'otft with equal rays upon
every man, black or white, through
out the union cheers. Now, fel
low' citizen, iu this there is all the
beneficence of eternal justice, and
by this we will stand forever great
applause. The great poet has laid
that in individual life we rise on
stepping atones of our dead aelvea
to higher things, and the republic
rises on the glorious achievements
of the dead and living beroea to
higher and nobler national life ap
plause. Weataud guard over our
past as soldiers, as patriots over our
country as the common heritage of
us all applause.
I thank you, fellow cltiiena, for
this magnificent demonstration. In
so far as I represent n ray heart and
life the great doctrines for which
you fought, I accept thia demonstra
tion as a tribute to my representa
tive rharacter. f Applause.!
In the strength of your hearts, la
the firmness of your faith, in all that
betokens greatness of manhood and
nobleness of character, the republic
finds its security and glory. Ap-
plausej. I do not enter upon ths
controverted questions of the times.
The place aud situation forbid It. f
respect the traditions that require
me to speak only of thpse thing
which elevate us all. Again I thank
you for the kindnej and entbuslaam
of your greeting. Tremendoua
cheering.
