KITTY'S DECISION- '
" I positively don't know What to do I"
said Kitty Lascelles folding ber dimpled
hands over her lap, and looking thorough
ly distressed. 'There; is'r: Archer Carroll
Hugh Braioard, and that halcfuT old
Adam Gordon What wo; want him
(Adarq) for, is more than I can see."lv ;
; "Well, what of them asked her maf
ried sister ' , ' - -' ' ? "
' "NothiDg i only I am positive that one
of them is going to ask me to marry blin,
and as they all act precisely" alike I can
not for my life find out which, one it is."
"Yon ought to know which'1 you like
best, ' and be able to L' answer ' any iOf
them.";-. -V . v:;i'- ti
-Of course I don't 1 :Howihould
when they all treat me about the same.
Archer looks a .trifle better than the oth
ers. : Hugh had lots of money, and dresses
better iban any man 1 know ; and Adam
has lots of money, and knows the most"
"Weim h -sK VHT ' ' 1 ,
I "But Archer Carroll is poor.; Hagh
Brainard don't know enough to ;go in
when it rains, and Adam Gordon is j
great, grim creature,, whom every one
thinks perfectly: horrid 1"
"Then cut them all, and find somebody
else. There are plenty in the market.''
Kitty leaned her . head on her iiand,
with the perplexity, growing more decid
ed in her face, than ever.
"Well, i there's no nse in thinking.'-
Brainard is coming . to practice a duet
with me this morning. I am going to
drive with Adam this afternoon, and, I
have promised the first waltz to Archer
this evening, at Mrs. Kenneth's. I don't
know what to do."
"You are old enough to decide, I should
think." ,
Yes. but I adore Adam's horses, can
sing better with Hugh than with any
body else, and Archer s waltzing is some
thing quite remarkable." , ; j
Tbe married sister. Mrs. Atkinson.
gave the family beanty a long, cool stare
of utter disgust, and the conversation
changed. ; T j ,;
Ail Kitty s life had been spent under
Maud's sharp eyes; and in this impor
tant matter it was hardly probable that
she would be left to quietly select her
own husband. But it chanced that
Maud's own mind was hardly made tip jio
regard to tbe,tnree gentlemen who bad
been dancing attendance on her cnarm-
ine sister for the last few months. - ' -
Adam Gordon was her husband's friend,
a man well along in bis thirties, and i a
quiet, seneiblo fellow, who would make
any lady a good husband. Hugh Brain
ard belonged to one of the fir6t families
in the city, had money in abundance,
and was considered a great catch ; and
Archer Carroll was brilliant, handsome,
and the lion of the season. '
As for Kittyshe had no mind about
it, and so Fate took it into 'her own
hands and settled it. !t
Everybody knew that Kitty had in
herited the largest proportion of the old
banker Lascelles' property. Everybody
knew that she was pretty, accomplished,
and a prize, and everybody was quite
willing to do her homage, and she was
quite as ready to receive it as anybody
in the world ; so there was little wonder
that she was a trifle spoiled. r
It was the loveliest of lovely mornings,
and Kitty, all alone in her pretty pheeton,
was driving away oyer the fashionable
road, her elegant self arrayed in the
most charming of carriage suits; her
pony glittering in bis rich harness; little
scarlet ribbons flying from her whip, and
the entire turnout looking decidedly
pretty and stylish. ; . ." ;
Kitty seldom rode alone,' but on this
particular morning she was very dreamy,
and preferred her own thoughts to the
chatter of any of her lady friends. . So
away she rode over the long road, care
lessly holding the ribbons, nodding every
now and then to this one and that one,
and vastly enjoying herself.
All at once there was a cry in the
crowd, near. She looked before her ;
there was nothing but the legularly mov
ing carriages. She turned her head, and
ever after had a confused idea that she
saw, close upon her, two gray horses,
with an empty carriage and flying reins.
But after that she remembered noth
ing. ....... I .
The little broken phaeton and frighten
ed pony were drawn away to one side of
the road after the frantic grays had been
secured, and people crowded around to
wonder how great an injury the young
girl had received, who was now lying
there so pitifully still and white. " ;
There were plenty who knew' Kitty
Latfcelles, and she was borne; home to
poor Maud's as senseless and cold as one
dead. Bat she was not dead; they soon
knew that ; buV at first I think they
would rather she had died than live jto
suffer as -she did in the dreadful ? days
which followed; They were dark; terri
ble days to poor Kitty, even though they
were 5 brightened by loving messages,
friends, beautiful flowers, and so many
visits as her careful physician would per
mit. And - to increase r that ' darkness,
there :was the gradual breaking of s, the
truth that , she . would never walk (and
romp again with her old light, free step;
Always lame, not really crippled, but
always with that limping, awkward gait
which she had pitied so muoh in others.
-'"What would - they, say 1? . was Mhe
first thought, r," What would, i Archer.
Hugh and Adam think of .me? 'They'll

"That finishes himl", Kitty said "with

flowers, and Kitty was in doubt for many
cays. ..The first time that . her chair was

Adam and Kitty were among the oddest
of people,' and so they were betrothed j and
Maud ' w hen she got tired of w ai ti Ug,
and went up to see if Adam was going to

'Before the year ended they were mar

"They did hot look half as handsome

. . A
Illicit Distillin g in Oaston County. :
Government Officials Involved
The Piedmont Press, in .. its last iesue,
writing under the above caption, has the
following to say. We reproduce the ar
ticle without comment, because it needs
none. It speaks for itself:
'- "During ? the- session - of the Federal
Court at tStatesville, last week, a Con
servative lawyer, while interceding in
behalf of his clients, represented' lo .the
Jud&e that illicit distilling had quite if
not entirely ceased in Gaston county.
The Judge answered very positively 'that
such couldn't be i the case, as since his ar
rival at Court he' had received intelli
gence from sources entirely reliable, that
not less than were then in operation
in that county, and that the United States
Commissioners and Deputy Marshals were
interested in a number of them. ; " j .
"This announcement carries its own
comment. The conviction generally ob
tains, that government officials are re
sponsible, in a great measure; for the
wholesale illicit distillation going on In
Western' North Carolina. IWhen not (ji
rectly engaged in the traffic, they en
courage aud aid it by accepting 'hush
money.' What becomes of the many
seizures of illicit distilled spirits and un
stamped tobacco ? The libel docket does
not show ; then there has been no return.
If no return, then; the government has
been swindled and defrauded out ot . its
just revenue. ... r?,. ? . '? j " -;. i
"But when tbe character oi these -men,
who seek the position of 'still house spies'
and who act it out so well, are known,
is there any groundifor- wonder or sur
prise that such is the case ? ; Is it a mat
ter, of surprise that. United States Com
missioners and Deputy Marshals are en
gaged in this traffic in.Gaston county ?"

Extraordinary, stories are told of tbe
healing properties of. a new oil which 'is
easily made from the yolk of hen's eggs.
The eggs are first boiled hard, the yolks
are then removed crashed and placed
over a fire, where the whole substance
is just on the point of catching fire when
tbe oil separates, andmay, be poured
off. v One 'yolk will yield bearly two tea
spoonfuls of - oil. It is in general use
among the colonists of South Russia- as
a;. means of curing .cuts, bruises:,and
scratches. . . . .

t. iv:
Elihn Bnrritt on the "Eing Pablic."
j One of the most remarkable articles we
have recently come across is a 'contribu
tion of the "Learned Blacksmith',' Eli hu
Barritt, to the pages of the Christian Un
ion, & religious paper, edited by. Henry
Ward Beecher. His effort is to show that
the Republio of our fathers, has shrunk
into a Ring public of shoddy, sham and
infamy all because of the overthrow and
displacement of the Southern aristocratic
element, which was statesmen-like, hon
est, chivalrio , and , genteel.. The t with
drawal of 'that element; fromjeocial and
administrati ve life in the United States ;
has made the government a den of rogues
aud society a saturnalia of folly. and crime.
The army has lost its'tooe, the navy, has
surrendered its high character, and Wash-:,
iogton ,city has grown' into a fungus of
rascality V and? tinsel. Good .? men and
thoughtful men, ' like MrBurritt;-have
the courage ot tbeif opinions, aud do not
hesitate, when a capital blunder has been
oommitted, , to retrace their eteps and
soncii similar action on ice part oi aneir
people. Little by little,' the Sonth is jus-
iineain nercomoai agamsLtneencroacn
mentiof the North: Her figh Ifof Qpn
stitutional Liberty and the true, basis . of
statesmanship in the forum and virtue in
the family is growing into the' recogni
tion even of her enemies.- vU.iv.;
Though- Mr. 'Burritt- calls , upon the
Sxutb.to save the country from .shoddy
and shack nastiness brought r upon it .by
the so-cauea uoo-aua-moraiity party, we
doubt if the old-fashioned1 Southern race,
which ' was essentially lthe growths of
masterdom over, slaves, could, prevail, at
this late day, over the 8atan ip Northern
circles, poliUcal, religious, priyVte a'nd
commercial. Enough 'of the stock' and
sentiments may remain to leaven the
reeking mass and save it from itself J hut
not until great punishments, much sor
row and a general downfall'of Mammon
worship, will, there be a chance of the
aivutiAn .nAnnIe who have made a
striped rag theirBible, an eagle-bird their
Providence, and a Golden Calf their God.
