Itamsay Morris In New York Sunday Mercury. In March , 1870 , the rude , jolting atago coach which carried passengers between Clairvillo , n Colorado raining town , and the nearest railway , station , set down at % the former place n woman and a llttlo * * girl. The woman had a faoo of quiet beauty and refinement. Already it was marked by lines of care , although its owner could not have been moro than twenty-two or twenty-five years of ago. 'Sho was dressed completely in black , no the material -which constitutes heavy mourning , but some clinging Bluff which might indicate a grief of thrco or years' standing. It gave her an air of interest , and the pretty child , holding confidingly to her hand , nidod materially in attract ing sympathetic glancea from the crowd cf idlers who gathered around the stage door as its passengers stopped to the ground. The woman ( she looked hardly more than a girl in spite of the careworn face ) glanced about in a hesitating , help- leas way , and pulled her shawl cloaer , to shut out , if possible , a penetrating March wind. Evidently she was at a losa how to find the place which she sought. A man stopped forward from the group of idlers , Ho wore , like the others , a rough jacket , slouch hat and heavy trousers tucked into a pair of serviceable - able boots. His face , bright and intelli gent , was darkened from contact with wind and sun. Approaching the woman ho said : "Perhaps I can direct you to some point which you wish to find. " "I am not looking for any place in par ticular , " she replied , embarrassed. I want a boarding-house n quiet place tor myself and little girl and not expens ive. " The man evidently know just the spot for her , and mapped out the direction she , was to go. At her destination she waste , to mention his name , Joe Bassett , and that would insure her a warm welcome. The woman murmured her thanks , and [ the miner strolled back to his compan ions , to bo overwhelmed with questions. Ho could tell his friends no more , however - ever , than the conversation related [ above. This occasioned much disappoint ment , and the solo querry was , who could the atranger bo ? One thing cer tain , she did neb belong to the class which usually found its way into mining districts. Joe Bassott was equally as curious as his mates , but ho hold his cu riosity inaboyanco. for ho had a little plan which ho felt sure -would obtain for him all that ho desired to know. The landlady to whom ho had directed the stranger was a friend of hln. Ho would call there in the evening and perpetrate a cautious cross-examination. Evening came , and ho put his plan into execution , but it availed nothing. The landlady , willing as she was to bo obliging , could toll him only that her guest's name was Constance Mellvillo , that the little girl : was her child , and that she was a widow. The first two statements the stranger had really made , but the last was only a surmise of her hostess , who , never stopping to think whether her suspicion was correct or not , proclaimed the widowhood an accom plished fact. As a consequence it was not long until the whole town know that Mrs. Melville was a widow. What they wished to know was , why had she como to Clair- -ville' } No blame could bo attached to them for not discovering this fact sooner than they did. Wo can safely give them the credit of having done their utmost to delve into the now comer's private affairs. It was some time though , bpforo their curiosity was gratified. Then it was grat ified through Joe Bassott. Somehow Joe had managed to ingratiate himself frith the stranger , from a simple beginning , too. She had wanted some information. Her landlady could not furnish it , and called on Joe as being likely to explain what was required. Joe camo. It was their first mooting , and ho never forgot it , for from that time foward his heart had gone into another's keeping. After the mooting , the village learned that Mrs. Melville was in Olairyillo seek ing a brother who had disappeared some years previously. Now , the truth of the matter was , Joe liad not gained the headway which his companions supposed. Constance Melville villo was A strange woman whoso life had boon shadowed a woman who had suf fered , and who still continued to suffer. Trouble was clearly written on her faco. It needed no keen observer to decipher that fact. This man who had thrown himself at her foot saw it , but ho did not suspect , when he asked thu reason of It , that the woman had evaded the truth when she said that she worri d about the missing brother. The brother's loss was not the weight which had ( sorrowed and darkened her life. There -was something lying behind something which never came { to the surface. About the man whoso name she was supposed to boar , she never spoke , but she fairly wor shiped her liltlo girl Nina. Joe Baa- aott had proposed marriage to her a dozen times , but , thoaghjTsho loved him , she hold hick in 'a froightonod sort of tray. Then ho began to grow moody and dianuartoncd. Whpn she saw this she relented , and promised to bo his wife. Clalrvillo heard the new * , and Olalr- villo talked. Clairvillo suspected that there was a mystery about Mrs. Melville which she had not explained , and Glair- villo suggested to the young minor that ho heel boat probe deeper into matters before Jin accepted the stranger ua a part ner for life. But Joe Bassott was an in. dividual who allotrod no person to mod- die in his private concerns. Ho neither sought advice , nor accepted such cs was offered masked. One thing he did , A few days before ho was mairled , ho said to Constance. "Jftw long has your husband been dead" ' She hesitated a moment , nnd replied nervously : "Nina's papa died thrco years ngo. " .Too did not notice the evasive answer , and was satisfied. After ho had gonotho woman's face became while with a wild alarm , and she clasped her hands tcgetlin er passionately , saying : " 1 cannot , 1 cannot wreck this man's happiness by deceiving him. I will toll him the truth if it kills mo. I must I must , " But her resolution died , her courage failed her at the last moment , nnd ' 'the truth , " whatever it might bo , was kept buried in her own breast. And so she married Joe Bassott without divulging her secret. Clairvillo talknd again. This time about the wedding , which was simplicity itself. Then tonnucs ceased to wag , for whatever Constance Melville might have boon , she was the wlfo of a man who was considered the most popular , as well aa the handsomest man in the town , Grad ually , as she became known , and her timidity were off she shared his populari ty. The frightened look left her facothe lines of care faded nnd roass crept into her checks. Only occasionally did the past seem to como back , and then the old fear overwhelmed her , and she would resi solyo once moro to lay everything open to her husband. But days wont by and she was silent still. September came. Strangers flocked into the village. Some few remained , while others loft again. Among the for mer was an individual calling himself George Stanton. Holwas a dark'hand- some man , somewhat coarsa and cynical , who did not lack money nnd who spent it freely. Ho made his headquarters at the moat noted place of resort in town , a tnvorn familiarly known as "Kopor's. " Unlimited speculation was indulged in ns to whence ho came and what his business was. Thcso facts ho carefully kept to himsolf. It had boon safer for him had ho volunteered some kind of explanation ( oven were it untrue ) for now people rated him as a gambler and mystery and watohod him accordingly. They earned little by so doing. Ho was good natured paid his bills and never by any chaiico got into trouble. But ho failed to become pupular. People distrusted him and any person who had closely studied human character , needed only to glance at Goorpo Stanton's eyes to feel satisfied that ho was a devil If oror ono assumed human form. Joe Basaott was going into the mountains - tains , to bo gene two days. Ho stood in his doorway , holding Nina in his arms and kissing her good-byo. The little ono had grown ns dear to him as she was to her mother. Constance's arm lay across his shoulder , nnd she was saying in an almost childish tone : "Two whole days , Joel" "In that so very long ? " ho asked. ' Yes. It Is the first time wo have boon sopernted and this little house will bo lonesome with you away. " "Try to make the time Ily until I re turn , and don't got blue. Good byo. " There was a dozen kisses and then ho placed the child on the ground and was gono. Constance loaned against the doorsill - sill and watched him out of sight. Even after ho haddisappoarod she leaned there still , heavy hearted , wishing that she had confided to him long ago that secret which to-day seemed to prey on her mind moro horribly than over. She sighed wearily and turned to her house hold duties. But there waa always a shadow before her , behind her nnd stalking - ing on each sldo of her. Was It a pre sentment of coming evil ? Late in the . afternoon Nina grow tired and fell asleep. The place was doubly lonesome when her prattle had ceased. Twilight drew on apaco. The shadows were com ing , and with them a chill night air. Constance was closing a window when a heavy voice said : "Hollo. " She turned like lightning , her face blanched to death's own color , then staggered - gored to a chair , staring fixedly at a man ing the open door and gasped out : "Merciful Heaven ! George Stanton ! " "Well , yes , " responded the newcomer coolly , "I still lay claim to that title. " "My God , man ! " she whispered breath lessly , " 1 thought you were dead. " "I suppose you got that from the newspapers. " ho replied. "Thoro was a report of the kind , but it was a false alarm. I'm worth any number of dead mon yot. " Ho had entered the room nnd had seated himself in a chair. The woman sat staring out of a window whlto.woak , bewildered , wondering what would como next. The visitor said presently , with a sneer : "Married , aren't you ? " "Yes , " she muttered , while the hot blood rushed swiftly over her face , disap pearing as quickly , and leaving It paler , if anything , than before. There was a dangerous light creeping into her eyes. ' "Does your husband know your hist ory ? " "How dare you , " she cried , springing up like a shot tigress , her visage trans fixed by hate. "How dare you ask mo such a question ? You are an infamous coward. Four years ago when I was but a girl , you wronged mo as foully as ito woman can bo wronged. Then , like the scoundrel that you are , you deserted mo. Now you como hero , where people are ignorant of my past , to try and blight y. life again. But you shall not do it. " "Why not ? " ho asked , with an effort at indifference. Constance Melville had shown him a shade of his character which ho had not suspected before. "Why not ? " she echoed. "Do you know the people amongst whom you live ? Beware of them , I have but to toU publish you to this town to BOO you lynched from the nearest troo. llemom- bor that , and don't force ono too far. " till "Save the trouble of yourself publish ing me , " ho replied maliciously , "Your husband , I believe is away for two days. When ho returns I will toll him an inter esting story. Good day. " Then ho sauntered carelessly out of the houao the little house which a few hours before had boon lit with happiness , and which now hold an n oh ing , breaking heart. Constance fell back Into her chair , trembling , moaning. The scene with George Stanton , brief as it had been , and bravely as she had defied him , had taken nearly every vestige of strength from hor. She hud supposed the man dead ; had believed confidently that she a'ono waa guardian of her miserable history. And hero was the dead returned to life returned to confront her with her old wretchedness , now , when nho had just begun to experience peace and happi ness. What should she do ? Confide in her husband tell him all ? llo would forgive her , aho felt certain , but that couM not fiilonco George Stan ton's tongue that could not prevent the whole town from knowing her shame , and from sneering at the honest in who bad married her , She must K away , anywhere from Clairvillo. head could not facQ her husband after ho had ck lid nd her way across thojmounlnins to the rail way station. It was cloven o'clock at night. A sudden storm had arisen and the jam came : down like n deluge. The thunder rolled threateningly and the lightning blfl/.ed fiercely ns the door to Ioo BBS- sett's cotUgo opened , and n woman , heavily shawled , emerged therefrom. She carried n child , closely wrapped , nnd took < the road to the mountains. The water poured nlong it in gutters , nnd only during the fitful Hashes of lightning could oho sou her wny. She reached the outskirts of the village when n heavy stop arrested her. She had well-nigh walked against n man In the darkness. There was a vivid lUsh of lightning and Joe Bassott and his wife found themselves - solves face to faco. In the darkness ho laid his hand heavily on her shoulder and muttered : "Whore nro you going ? " "I don't know , " she answered pilo- ously , Ho leased forward and took the child from her arms , saying only : "Como home. " They walked back silently in the driv ing storm. Once inside the cottage Joe said : "I didn't go to the mountains ; the boys postponed the trip. On < my way homo I dropped into Uopor's. A follow there took'mo ono side and told nio n story about you. Is it true ? " "Thnt ho wns Nina's fnthor nnd not your husband. " "Oh , Joe , Joot listen to mo , " shocriod nflrightcdly. Ho did listen. She told him everything - thing , kneeling nt his foot. Then ho lifted her in his strong arms , kissed her forgivingly , ns if she had boon n child , and said : "Go to bed. I'll bo back soon. " Ho wont down to llopor's. There \\oro half a dozen men thoro. Stanton had gene to his room. Joe unbosomed his wife's story. ( They are not so particular - ular about these things In some parts of the ! west as they nto oast. ) The boys 11so toned intently , and the speaker wound up by saying : "I've told you this because 1 know you'd hoar it from that scoundrel upt stairs. 1 toll you more , nnd that is , that I'll shoot him on sight , so help mo heaven. " Ho walked out into the storm ngnhi. Half nn hour later there wns n scene of wild excitement at Rogers. A man , white and terrified , yelling for mercy , was strugg'ing with a furious mob. The next dny's sun shone on a ghastly picture. Hanging to n tree on the outskirts - skirts of the town was n man's body. His face , livid and distorted , was almost unrecognizable , and his clothing , drenched with rnin , was covered with mud from being dragged over the roads. Neither the foot nor hands had been I pinioned , and the corpse swung at the t mercy of the winds. It was all that remained of George Stanton.

This doubtless is accounted for through the Inaccuracy of the quotation made by tno Era.

The Grand Occasion of Barman's ' Visit toOina'ta , Ay of G thoHn M OlH\nlcn nnil Disturbing Kleincutn The lowering clouds of the early morn ing which , continuing until noon , threat ened at intervals to precipitate n shower , doubtless withhold from the city many whom the presence of the immortal Barnum would have drawn here yester day. Nevertheless the streets were thronged with n full turnout of local res idents and a generous supply of sight seers from the provinces. The first grand feature of the day's festivities wns the street parade. The procession fonnoct nt the ground * nnd nacouding Sixteenth street to Douglas , east on that thoroughfare to Tenth , thence to Fnrnnm , nnd countermarching tlo out Farnam and Sixteenth stroot. The line } ' of march was short nud the column itself scarcely moro than brief. The brevity of the parade was moro than equalized . , by the superb character of iU displays. Scarcely n feature of the whole pageant but that was interesting ; the allegorical tab- loan wagons , floats nnd chariots were re splendent | in their glittering coats of gold , while the usual tedium of blank and boxlike - like vans was relieved by the generous opening of all the cages , filled with rare and strange wild boasts. The fresh and clean properties , the neat persons of the "knights and ladies" and the well con ditioned appearance of the animals stood out in pleasing contrast to the jaded and dingy air of the customnry circus exhibits. At noon , the mouagorio nnd museum tent was thrown open to the public , and throngs began to lilo into the mammoth pnvillion. The appointments of this de partment of the show are beyond critic ism. 1 All the various and marvellous products \ of nature , iu her most divorsi- lied forms , were hero presented with that lavish nud profligate disregard of cost which characterizes nlono the en terprises of the great Barnum. Jumbo , the modern mammoth , the Goliath of the lower 1 nnimal kingdom , prodigious in bulk yet tender nnd gentle ns n lamb , whoso purchase from the Zoo manage ment , wiung countless tears from British youth nnd plunged Mr. Barnum into the rnnzos of English chnncory , was the coni tor I of attraction. The "white" elephant whoso aahou skin consecrates him to Burmese adoration , shored in the inter est of the spectators. Chang , the Chi nese giant , whoso exalted stature marks him as an extraordinary man , the two midgets , dwarfed from birth , the Xulus , Afghans and Nubian Bedouin , rendered prominent in Into years for their heroic struggle against British encroachments on their tropic domains , the Nnutch girls , with pliant and voluptuous , though dusky , limba , the killed High landers , with their wiord , marshal pipes ; this wonderful aggregation of races and nationalities constitutes the advertised "Congress of Nations. " The previous remarks upon the animals in the street parade is applicable to thorn the same under canvass , heightened by the ad dition of numerous o her boasts and birds. The capacity of the main tent , at claimed by the management , is for 15,000 persons. Upon this estimate , at least 8,000 witnessed the afternoon perform ance. The programme of specialties , athletic , equestrian , comic and fnntastls , Is to bo compared with nothing that has heretofore appeared in Omaha. The be wildering magnitude of its perfect excel lence absolutely detracts from its effect. The spectator is dazzled at tho3iranl- aanoous exhibitions of strength and skill , and is lost in the attempt to direct lib attention. A detailed review of the fea tures of the circus and hippodrome is Impracticable , and a passage of favorable judgment on the whole will aorvo the purpose. At the night performance a crowd oven larger than thatot the of tornoon gathered under the tent , but the elements which had threatened during Iho morning now proceeded to action , The drenching rain poured through the canvass and the high gale toyed with the largo tent as though premeditating its destruction. The programme was but half finished when the situation grow decidedly alarm ing. All money paid for concert ticket. ! was refunded and the audience quickly evacuated. Fifteen minutes later every portion of the great fabric was struck , put away in the wagons and the whole caravan in motion for the depot. Although no accidents are reported many of the visitors must have encountered great hardships in reaching homo through the ugly night , as the conveyances were not fractionally adequate to the pressing demands of the multitude when the stampede began. Under the courteous guidance- Mr. D. L , Thomas , the press agent , a BKI : man was given an intelligent and com prehensive tour of the whole exhibition. The question that most forcibly strikes the observer in thus being ehown the operating intricacies of the colossal as- tiblithmont 10 how can the discipline ba maintained , which is so necessary to its management ? That this ia only done after rigorous training and heavy expenditure ia apparent. Six hundred men are employed throughout , and a cede of temperance , promptness : and silence ia established , which rivals the strictures of a prison. With the departure of Barnum the local circus seauon of 1881 is done , and the community turns for public diversion to the moro refining , if loss rosnlondant , pleasure of Jtho theater. In closing hoar chapter on this great feature of popular amusement , it can bo said for Barnum , that this year , of all others in the history of his well known public life , ho pre sented aaliow unrivaled in the excellence , , purity and interest of its many sided at tractions. itS SEVJGNTH DAY ADVENTISTS iniorcHtuiir KxorclHOH at the Ciinin tlio Dny. At the camp mooting now in progrce at the fair grounds a very interesting program was gene through with ycstor day.

Miou the music had ceased , Brother "arnsworth arose and addressed the assembly. imonir.u KAHNSWOHTHK IUSCOUIISK. Brother Fnrnflworth spoke of the sab- ) ath. The seventh day , ho sail' ' , was ordained by tlio Lord to bo the sabbath day. Ho wrought the creation in six days , nnd ho rested on the seventh. The commandment was that the seventh day should bo observed ns the sabbath. It wns contended that it mattered not which day was observed so long is ono out of the seven was sot aside as a Sabbath. This , the speaker said , waa no moro logical than It would bo to observe the fourth of July on Christmas day. These days each occurred once n year , but there was something monumental about the fourth of July which would not bo satisfied by its pretended observance on sonin other day. So it was with the Sabbath. There was something monumental mental abuot it. It commemorated the the Lord's rest after his labors In creating the universe. Nor was the Sabbath day merely a day of physical rost. 11 should bo a day of prayerful reflection , a day on which the true Christian would renew the events of the week from n prayerful standpoint and seek wherein ho could make himself n truer , nobler and better man. A hymn wns then sung by the standing congregation and all then knelt in prayer. Separate services were begun in the .SCANDINAVIAN THNT where cervices in Danish TYOJ < O hold.

To-day if rain dooa prevent will wlt ness the closing of the grading on West Farnam street. This great undertaking which waa begun against considerable opposition will make this street moro than the moat sanguine expected. Taking it all in all it is probably the grcates contract of its kind over lot by the city council. Ever ninco the middle of July , the time the work began , nuarly 100 team and 200 shovlora have boon employee ' upon it , being all that would labor ta advantage upon the contract.

The fill oxtondn from Six \ : taonth to TVontyiocond atrcole , nnd re. quired ncrly ( N.000 cubic yards aa shown by a rough ralin/nto of the city engineer to bring U lo the j.'ropoaod grado. The completion ol' this contract makes Fnrnam of gradual decent from Twenty Sixth to the tivor , but Ji will vary ho IT- over nt dl demit points. Th.o people liv ing near Twentieth street are ( omoirhat disnppoinlcd in the result of iho erode. It was thought bj thorn when the project was propried that they would bo blo to see the wfwlo of east .Farnam stiioot to the rlvor but owing to the stoop a ont between Sixteenth and Eighteenth lioy aroimmblo to do so. This tins been a great awl costly un dertaking for the city. Already it hai paid out for damages agreed upon result , ing from the chnngo , ? nvlOO.nnd ; , r > 00 is still pending iu the district eoart. In addition to this , the removal of J)0,000 ) cubic yards taken to maxo the fill will cost the city $17,000 more , , making a totnl oJ nearly $35,000. Ucsidos this. Mr. Kynor , thn contrac tor on the Farnam street grade , has brought Twentieth from Farnam to Dav enport to the o tnblishod grade. The work of making the fill on Twentieth bo- twooii tiarnoy and Farnam will begin at onco. The earth will bo tntcn ! from Eighteenth just south of Farnam , limit ing the former street nt the point juot named of the uniform width. A AVrotclicil Llo llofutcd , There can bo no truth , says the Chica go News , iu the story that as the Ub7. George 0. 3filn was playing llamlol- % Texas theatre the other evening , , a dog rushed on the atago and toro the clerical actora tighla so that Iho sawdust ran out of his false calves. All who have soon the Hov. Miln know this is a silly lu. ! The Hov. Miln does not have to resort to the employment of spurious calves it would b rm egregious superfluity for him to do BO. llo hai wondorously developed legs and hia calvoa nroso plumpaud chubby aa a matured cupid'e. Those who have beheld - hold the Kov. Miln in the Turkish bather or disporting in the big tank as the West side natatorlum are our authority for the statement that the llov.Miln's nether ex tremities closely resemble piano logs , and , wo remember to have hoard It rumored during that gentleman's first rendition of Hamlet in this city that ho was atllloted with varicose veins. It is said that the Hov. Miln'u biceps nro so abnormally de veloped that ho has to bo Biirvoyod with a quadrant , theodolite , nto. , whenever ho is measured for panta , tights or broochop. \Vo have often thought that if the Uov. Miln were to wear his bangs a trillo longer - or , do up his hack hair in n braid , and attire himself in a low bodice and abridged skirt ho would present n opocla- clo worthy of the most ravishing cory- phoo bald-hoadod humanity over g sod upon. Sawdust , indoodl Why , hia nro limbs that would weigh down the beam though all the biceps of the Boston Ideal chorus were placed in the opposite scale , and as for hia calves , such nro tho'r ' mag nitude nnd symmetry that a moro glonco nt them ia sullioiont to make the nvorago oporn-bouflist turn n deep bilious green witn onvy.
