THE CUEIGHTO GUAUDS. An Imnrobnnlo Humor That tlicBody May Disband. Thcro is said to bo u possibility of the dlsj banding of the Edward Creighton Guards. Humors to this effect have been set afloat by members of that organization , who have become dissatisfied with the laws enacted by the legislature. The par ticular law that has caused the dissatisfac tion is that appropriating only $21,900 to the military bodies. This amount.thoy claim , is a mere bagatelle , for n state appropriation. The soldier boys of the Creighton Guards think they are not appreciate ! by the repre sentatives of the state , consequently there is discontentment in the camp. The guards organized in December , 1SS7. On the second of that month the body was mustoicd into tlio service of the state by Inspector specter General Hurry Hotchkiss , given a lot of condemned muskets and a $9 allowance for soldier clothes. Atone ono time there were fifty-five members but now there are only about forty or forty- five. The organization did its first work in camp at Fort Sheridan at Wahoo last sum mer. Although at the time the youngest company in the stnto , the boys received special - , cial mention for general appearance , conduct and excellence of drill. Of the $360 a year which the armory costs the company the state donates ? 100. The state also , furnishes the company with its weapons "nnd blank cartridges. ' C. J. Smythe , the captain of the company , has hold that position since the organization , the greater part of which work ho assumed. Ho was a militiaman of honor nnd standing in Now York and loaned his experience to perfect nn excellent body. As to the probability ot disband lug a num ber of youiip members of the guards were seen last night at thoh- quarters. John Garry stated to a BEE rep resentative that there had been dissatisfac tion among the boys at tbo small appropria tion and that there had been some indefinite talk of "breaking ranks. " An Alligator Knocks Out a Stonnlor The steamer Comet came down from Crescent City this morning with her bow stem broken and sovonxl plunks sprung , says the Palntlca ( Flu. ) Hornld. It scorns that wliilo coming around a sharp curve in Dunn's crcok , known as Danger Point , she struck a huge alliga tor , which is olaimod by the captain to have boon about eighteen foot lung. The crook connects Luke Crescent with the St. John's river , and is famous lor its Ilonting islands , which arc composed of bonnets , water lilies and such other vegetation as grow in Florida. Tlio Comet is in the habit of running into these floating islands without chocking her spood. The captain noticed that this particular island was rather largo , but paid no attention to it , for an opposition steamer was crowding him nnd ha could not afford to chock up. The boat struck the floating island with terrible force , breaking her bo\vv storu , us ubovo stated , and slmttorol the boat considerably. The passengers were terribly frightened , and the ladies ran uhout asking in pitiful tones for holn , and it took several minutes for the crow to quiet those frantic passengers. An investigation was mado. The crock was rod with blood and the snortincr in the water terrific. It turned out that the supposed island was nothing more than a huge alligator , whoso back was covered over with bonnota and water lilies , resembling an island , obstructing the hide of the saurian from view. In stances of this kind happen quito fre quently on the river , but it IB the lirst time to our knowledge that a steamer was over so badly damaged as wa3 the Comet The Comet will bo repaired to-day and resume her route to-mor row. _ Ghostly Soorot of the Mcrrlniau.

Bolton was a member of'Johnsoii battery during the war und was wounded at Brandy station. Ho Is now almost in a dying condition. He declares that the discovery of the so skeletons has preyed upon his mind for years. According to Bolton's stoiiy ho was engaged ns a wrecker in 1873. The person with whom ho was engaged nt that time was employed in getting the old copper olT the Merrlmao. While ongogcd in this work Bolton Bays that nt one time ho dived into the forecastle of the confederate gunboat. There ho found the skeletons of two men ronn- uclod to the floor.

Suddenly a door opens ; there is a sound of light feet on the carpet , a rip ple of silk nnd pearls. It is the queen passing through the royal npartmonts. Two little pages Joad the way , looking ns wide awake as the cherubs in Wnt- tcnu's skios. Tholr hair tied In n club , with the velvety light of n touoh of powder , flaps briskly on tholr shoulders. The queen walks on , looking a trifle wonry ; her small foot are Invisible un der the enormous hoopod skirts she wonrs , wreathed about with trails of rosos. The whllo feather in her hair and the fan she holds in her jeweled linger quiver a llttlo like the wings of birds eager to take flight to an un known homo. All about her , as usual , is the perpetual - ual hum of devotion and llattory , which follows her nt every stop. "Madame , " says Brissac , nt her el bow , "you nro moro enchanting than over to-day. See the roses on your dross are turning-pale nnd fading ; the queen of llowcrs is jealous of the queen of women. " "Your majesty , by right of birth , rules every Frenchman as a subject , " adds d'Ayon. "l3y right of grace nnd beauty you rule them as slaves. " "And the women no loss , " murmurs the lady in waiting bondlng with in sinuating readiness to kiss the royal hand , which hangs on the full panior of the slcirt. The sovereign's youthful face lights up with a bright smile , shaded by some mysterious nnd inscrutable annoyance , while she shrugs her shoulders with n slightly sullen air. "Flatterers ! " she says. "It is the fate of us luckless1 queens never to hoar the truth. I make no doubt that my dress is awry , or head dross too low. " "I would say that your majesty was never moro charming. " says Brissac , "but that I rcmombor how truth com pels mo to say thp same every time I have the happiness of seeing you. " "I should like , to know what pretty speeches raon cohifivo to make to other women. " > ixi : "They find ndno half so pleasing , " says the lady in waiting"for they never moot with any wdman so'admired no your majesty. ' ' * "Ahl my dean , ifcyou could only know the whole of the thoughts that some times como intp tiny mind. I would gladly let my hpad rest from bearing the weight of th6jcro\yn. Oh I to be a shepherdess on | hr brink of a silent river , by whosq' bank white lambs should sport declcou with rosy ribbons. Would not that charming ? Shep herds playing with their pipes bewitchingly - ingly would putpnjheir , tondcrcst airs to sigh nt my feqt. [ Wo will play at it one day at Trianon. I , will have it so. But , alas ! it wilir bo no more than a. brief comedy. Thun I must take up the part of queen again ; the part I have to play now , at once , in the draw ing room , where they are waiting for mo. " She laughed , nnd glanced at the two little pages , who opened a double door , into which she vanished with girlish lightness. "Ahl" sighed Brissac , gazing at the closed doors , "If only she were not the queen ! " The two gentlemen both looked some what blank at the sudden flight of the Bwool royal bird. "On my word , gentlemen , " says the lady laughing at thorn. "You are quito aghast because the qucon has vanished ! It was not BO yesterday. Wo were alone ; but d'Ayon told mo of an adventure of which ho was the here ; I had road It before in a book by M. Croblllon. However - over , to do d'Ayon justice , to add to my enjoyment ho borrowed sorao details from M. do Mnrlvuux and his witticisms from M. do Chamfort. "Cruel creature , " replies d'Ayon , "you take an unfair advantage of your strength. You know full well that at the mcro sight of you , I lese my head. " "But how many things you have lost , poor man , not to reckon ladles' reputa tions. But como , do you know that I have every reason to bo seriously an gry ? What , you sigh for mo , my lord , und yet it scorns to mo that you are greatly struck by the queen ? " "And is It not every goutlomnu's first duty to adore the queen ? " "Oh ! " exclaims Brissao , "to bo in love with n queen Is to plno lor the im possible. It is worshipping a cloud , a remote nnd inaccessible bolng. Is it not a great joy to fool at the bottom of one's heart some secret ho | > e hope against hopo. In love , happiness con sists in hoping , not in winning. How ever , to men like us , to love without hope is often n delight , nnd almost al ways a novelty. " lPnppyl "AlasI" says d'Ayon , " ! love on queen only a cnioou of grace and boauty. And I am fast loosing all hopo. " "So much the better for you , poor d'Ayon , " the lady puts in. "So long ago us in the last century , Oronto de clared that over to hope was shcor de spair ? Listen to Brissac ; ho has no oml of good ideas which will comfort you for all your woes. " And she flies like the flirt that she is , allowing d'Ayon just time enough to kiss her hands. ' Your heart is flown away with her , iny good fellow , ' ' says Brissao , laying his hand on his friend's shoulder. "Now , for how long liavo you boon dancing attendance on that bewitching creature ? " "For . " nearly n year. "And your sighs nro as vain IncoiiBo to her indifference ? " "And if they were not , my nnswor would bo the bamo. " "Woll , well ; do not bo fractious. I have heard other men's confidences before - fore yours. All I have to say , my gallant gentleman , JH only to porsuudo you to give up cherishing a flnmo which must ore long consume you with out any return. There is in this world but oho woman perhaps who can bo faithful to ti'uo love , and it is she and no otner to whom yon are paying court ? " "Trim love , do you say ? What , at court even , where slander is the fuvor- ito theme , no ono has over breathed u word of scandal about that whoodlcr of hearts , who is always ready to encour age adorers , but will never reward thorn. What mysterious coquettishness can it bo that induces her thus to trifle with the tender passion that her beuuty inspires ? She smiles on those who bring Venus' bark to her feet , but she will not fatep into it. " "I tell you that she is faithful ; is not that ample reason for being artful1' "My good fellow , you talk in riddlos. I know not what you nro driving at ; but you must know that I will allow no man to cast base insinuations 'at a woman to whom ray services nro de voted. " "Bo not bo so susceptible. I only wish to do you a service and to tell you a little tale. It will bo time enough then to owe mo a grudge for either or oth. The lady of your dreams is a frouk of nature ; aho is faithful to her husband. " "To her husband , who died ton years ngol My dear Brlssnc , you have n. very pretty wit ! " "To her husband , who is allvo , nnd ton years younger she is her second husband , whom she worships , and whom you know ns well us I do. Six yours ago she was a very pretty llttlo \vldow.wlth a crowd of suitors. She was four and twenty , with beautiful teeth , which eho has still , nnd the finest eyes In the world , The memories of her first mnrrlngo were not such as to tempt her to' lot her little hands bo bound again in Hymen's fetters. The shade of the old duuo , to whom she hnd boon married oa quitting the convent , nmply sutllcod to give her nlghtmuros without any need of taking another husband to give her more bad dreams. She was said to bo coy to wlldnoss. All the finest gentlemen of the court , the most highly gifted , and the greatest adepts in the difficult art of fasci nation , hung about this ropollunt beauty all in vain. And yet she was sick at hoart. Her tender spirit re belled against parental solicitude. * At this juncture fate sent her the very thing she wns pining for. whllo she herself - self hardly know why she should sigh during the lonely ovoulngs in her joyless - loss homo. " "Your tnlo begins like a romance by Crobilliou Ills. " "And ends so too. [ At that time it wns the fashion to adopt children. There was not n line lady in Franco who did not regard it as a point of honor to make some orphan happy ; ho must bo poor , and if possible Illegitimate. It Is out of fashion now. " Curly dogs have como in instead. ] Ono day the young duchess saw at the guto of her hotel a girl begging , n young thing of about 16 , as pretty as CJupid , and gazing at her with inquiring oyos. Of course she took her in at once and cherished her with all the fond care which women who have no children commonly lavish on tholr Porsiun cats. The young favorite wns cro long the rule , of the household. Ono day the duchess bolng nlling , sent for the doctor , who said with a smile : 'Your disorder , madame , will in duo tune result in the arrival of another subject to his majesty.
