Contrary to expectation, the hop that
was to have inaugurated the fetrits did
not come off las, evening, but was post
poned un'il Monday. The actual settle
ment of the question as to whether Cadet
Smith will cr will not attend ia therefore
deferred. Tho Sun man bad an inter
view with the young man this morning,
however, and learned oaoagu to enable
him to set the young ladies' minds at rest
with"re;pect to "that horrid Smith." He
will not attend the hops for reasons which
tho reporter thought reflscred great credit
upon him. He laid in rep'y to an inquiry j
upon tuo subject:
WHAT THE COI.OKED CADET SAlb.
"CrJtothe hops? Oh, no. I've had
trouble enough. I've been court-martial-
d twic?, and I don't went to bo again if
I can help it. I came here to gat an edu
cation, aLd to prepare myseli for u com
mission in the army. I did'nt come here
to lly about with a lot of silly, giddy girls.
If I want to enjoy the company of young
ladies, there are enough cf my own color
see us g j by tLcy pit cut their qoils of ;
tobaccj on the gra39 aud then order us in i
the most peremptory way to pick them up
with our Ungtii and carry them off the
ground. Now, I think tbat's a shame. I
know it'H only doue to annoy and degrade
us, and I've about mado up my mind to
put my fist under the car ot the fiist fel
Jbw tha orders mo to do Buch a thing
again. I don't believe that there is any
sense in such things, and I'm sure I did
not come here to be a menial.

"And vhen I die I shall leave my for
tune to the one who will uao it to the best
advantage," said Grandma Leeds, emiling
from behind her epectacloa to the joucg
girls around Lor.
"Your fortune, grandma ? What will it
be ? That old basket with its horrid yarn
and needles, and tho never ending knit
ting work ? If so, yon need not leave it
with me. Janet will use it to a far better
advantage than I could.
'Yes, Ijettie, you are right; and I am
sure 1 don t want it either. H'm. what a
not. Smith :s a nisrear. and has "no busi
ness here with white boys. Notice him ?
I guess not.

Reporrer Whtro is your home ?
Mr. Smith In Columbia, South Caro
lina. My father Jives there. I don't know
whether you've ever been there, but socie
ty there it very different from what i, is
here They don't exclude colored people
from white society there. 1 know severa
vouue colored ladies there that are wel
come even tho levees of the Governor
of the State, who is a white man from
Ohio.
Reporter Yon will go to Colombia then
to spend your furlouah i
Mr. Smith Yes, sir; and I'm sure I'l
be well treated, too.
THE COE.ORED CADET ON WEST POINT LADIE?
Reporter. Several young ladies up at the
hotel are much exercised It st you should go
to the hops
Mr. Smith. You may say in your paper,
if it is worth seviuar. that so loner as 1 am
at the Academy I will never go to any bal
or entertainment, neither will I pay a cent
toward petting them up. As I said before,
I ciuie here to study, not to make a foo
cf mself, like some of these white fellows
do, over a lot of giddv giila that don't care
a f nan for tb ir little fingers. They think
be ;ausf I'm a c dored boy that I don't know
anything. Well, let them think so. I tell
you I've seen a good deal within the last
mouth. These young girls that come up
here to llirt with the cadets and lead them
off on a string are not the kind of girls we
have Sooth. If they were colored I
wouldn't associate with them.
Reporter. Why ?
Mr. Smith. Well, because I don't think
they know anything but to make fools of
cadets and when they go away tne last
thing they think of is the poor cadet that
they have been trifling with. "Nigger
Smith," ai they call me, may have oolored
blood in his veins", but ho lsu t a fool by a
reason why you
Mr. Young I can't help that, cnl it
wouldn't make any difference if the whole
class was colored except myself. I wouldn't
have anything to do with them, that h ax!.
Reporter then you don't believe in
sending colored boys to West Point ?
Mr. loung o. tir, (with great empha
sis. )
Reporter Will you attend the hops'.'
Mr. Young, (with a look of surpiso.)
Why, certainly, if I wish to. Why
shouldn't I?
Reporter There is no
shouldn't.

and be had to leave. The drill that fol
io wed was amusing The plebes wera di
vided into squada and placed in charge of
cadets, who put them through their fac

cadets seem to vie with each other in see
ing which caa bo the most severo and ty

poor plebes get frightened nearly cut of
their wits at the stern commands and the
harp reprimands that inevitably follow
exhibitions of awkward men.

Curious Conflict iletwecn Soldiers end
Citizens in Kansas.
Some time piece a man named Sander
son was arrested ia Eliswortn county on a
charge of stealing eleven mules, or, in
trade par.'ance, eleven-twelfths of a dozen
mules, which were the property of Uncle
Sam. His bail was fixed at 82,000. and he,
exercising tho right inherent in American
citizens, proceeded to enjoy his liberty.
Last week, however, it is alleged that bis
bail was raised to $4 000, and the Deputy
United S ates Marshal, armed with due
aud proper procese -, proceeded to re-arrest
the private Jayhawker,. and to claim
aforesaid additional security from the male
fancier. This bail was promptly given,
and Sanderson again breathed the free air
of the plains. As he sniffed the oxygen
laden breeze, thoughts not forgiving and
Christian like took possession of his soul
and he stated audibly thut he would "put

to place an eminence disagreeably painful

by chance met at one of the fashionable
saloons of the frontier city. In fact the

What Vallandlsbaia meditated.
Tho following ia an extract from corres
pondence of tho Cincinnati Gazatte :
"I had a talk with ono of Mr. Vallandig
ham's upar relative?, to whom he had
often spoken freely. He said his new de
parture idea was two years old, and had
been thoroughly stadied. His papers
wera voluminous. Ho had written a com
plete autobiography. One of his favorite
hopes was to make a 1th of July oraticn at
tho centennial anniversary in 187G, and he
commenced tho preparation of it. He
loved the Calhcviu theory in politics, but
thought it died with tho echoes of the
last gun at Appomattox Court Uous3. He
wantoi neg o suffrage kept out of politics.
It was on 113. Let ns see bow it worked.
If well, why well. If not, let tho people
remedy it. Iio believed that they were
ready for a new constitution, and feared
sometimes a military dictatorship. The
new departure was against his prejudices,
bat ho believed it tho best for the
country."

yoa will only add yoar sweet contented
disposition. It would be a fortune which
none of us would, despie-?.
Janet Leds was the youngest of the
family, and tho plainest. She had a sweet
freah face, and tender eyes; bat those
paled into ugliness before Lottie's black
orbs and shining curls and the loveliness
of bsllo Marcarot. So she settled back
i like a modest violet in the chimuey corner
ami waii3a on grandma or assisted tha
maid in the housework.
Once in a while sho ventured out to a
party in the village, but bo seldom that
people never observed her. That made it
unpleasant, and she staid at homo still
closer.
But on that morning, while they sat
chatting with grandma, she felt a deal of
real discontentment for the first timo in
months.
Clara Boswortb, her bosom friend, was
to give a party that evening-, and she
could not go. For weeks preparations had
been going on in their quiet family. She
had given up the money saved for a new
winter. cloak, that Lottie's green silk might
be retrimmed for tne occasion, and the
best dress she had in the world was a
plain, garnet-colored poplin with black
velvet trimmings.
She had faintly suggested that she might
wear that, bat the cry of dismay from her
sisters silenced her.
"Go and wear the old poplin 1" cried
Leltie, from the clouds of white billowy
lace that was to adorn the green silk.
"You must be crazy !"
"I should think so," chimed Margaret,
who was fitting a lace berthe over the waist
of the delicate tilao satin. "Do you want
Austin B osworth to think us a family of
paupers ? It is to be a grand affair, and
Clara expects all who honor it with their
presence to pay her respeot enough to
dress respectably. It is Austin's first ap
pearance after the European tour, and
surely you do not want him to think
meanly of us ?"
The tears came up, bat Janet was brave,
and no one saw them.
The night, when the two girls the one
in her dark beauty and wonderfully bl
ooming array, the other all delicacy, her
lair, pearl loveliness enhanoed by the pale
purple color of her tplendid dress came
laughing into grandma's room, a little
shadow darkened her face, and she found
it very hard to keep back the tears.
"Fine feathers make fine birds, bat fine
birds do not always sing the sweetest,
Janie," said grandma, after they were
gone. "I know who is the trne one in
this family. I know mv little sint?inor
bird, janie, and she is dearer than a dozen
fine ladies. Austin and Clara will come
to-aorrow, and he will tell us about his
travels in foreign lands, and yoa will be
far happier than you wonld be up at the
house to night, with dancing and confus
ion.
"I suppose so, grandma," and Janet
took her seat by the fire and went on knit
ting with a peaceful face.
The elder sisters came home with rum
pled plumage, bat in high spirits.
Austin Uosworth had returned, a hand
some polished gentleman, and had flirted
desperately with Lettie.
"Why, grandma, ho almost proposed to
her !" laughed Margaret, who was engaged
to Judge Lenard's hopefal son. and there-
foro had no place for jealousy. "More
than one of the company predioted that it
wonld be a match."
'Don't count your chickens before they
are hatched," called grandma from her
pillow. "Mr. Austin Bosworth is no fool.
I can tell you !"
"What an old croaker !"
They were entering their chamber across
the hail, bat grandmother's ears were not
dulled by age, and sho clearly heard them.
"Don't mind them, erandma." whis
pered Janet, who had wanted to help them thousand dollars."
Alone with g and tea, Jnet wished for
better things and wondered why she waa
to harshly dea t with.
At last ev:n tho society of her aged
comforter was dtnied her. and in her bed
tho old lady gradually Jaded away. Day
and night Janet ta beside her, with the
knowledge that the was beyond earthly
help waiting npon her, yielding to the
childirh whims, and shutting out every
thing youthful and beautiful from her
6ight.
"Playing household angel," Margaret
said.
"Workincr for crandm&'s fortaue of old
shoes and worsted ttockinga," Lettie cru
elly added.
"Doing her daty by the faithful woman
who had taken the three motherless chil
dren into her heart, and filled the lost

own heart taid, and steadily she worked
on.
The first of May brought invitations to
the last ball at Boswt rth house, and while
the two elder sisters laid out tho finery,
Janet foldo t her tinoy missive and laid it
away next to her heart a a sacred bit of
paper, bearing Austin's firm, broad chir
ograpny upon it.
That night grandma was very ill, an 1
when Margaret and Lettie fluttered in with
their gay dretses, Jauet met them, and al
most forcibly put them out of the room.
"1 beg you, girls, to have a little re

"Nonsense ! Don't bo a foal, JAnet
anybody would think she was dying."
"I believe she i."
Their reply came in a violent elam of
the door, and Janet waa left alone with
her patient.
The hours dragged wearily, and over
come by her long, sleepless watches, Janet
fell fact asleep.
Two hours later she awoke with a Mart,
and in an instant sho t-Aw that dread

Mirgaret and Lottie, coming in with
their faces horror stricken, saw him hold

proud Lottie said:
"Mr. Bosworth I am f-urprised !"
"Yoa need not be. This is my privil

According to Mr, Feory V. Poor's Rail
road Manual for 1871'72 now just pub
lished, there were in operation, in the
United States, oa the first day of January,
1871. 53,145 miles of railroad, of which
6,115 were opened the past year a greater
number than in any previous year by 2, G00
miles. The total earnings of thee roads
during the past year wtra $150, 000,000.
Iha gross tonnage transported over them
equaled 125,000 000 tons, having a value
of more than 810,000,000 000. Their cst
may be put down in round numbers, at
82,400,000,000. Their mileage in ratio to
the population of the country, is as 1 to
723. Their earnings equal 811 75 to each
inhabitant. Their tonnage transported
equaled three and a quarter tons to each ;
the value of this tonnage equaled S282 to

Frank G. Newland comes next, a blonde
society man, and sings sweetly. He does
not, however, raise well the ladies say it
is because his figure is not formed for that
divine amusement; he is not strong enough
to do what one of oar celebrated dancers

lay aside their finery.
"Mind them ! Do you think I shall,
Janet Leeds ?"
Next day Ajastin Bo3worth came. He
was too familiar with tho old homo to
stop for bell-ringing, and ho entered,
crossing the hall directly past the parlor
door, where Margaret and Lattie waited
in their tasteful afternoon costumes, and
walked straight on to Grandma Leed's
room.
She was there with her work, her placid
face beaming beneath the white lace-bordered
cap. .
A graceful, girlish figure half knelt be
side her, wreathing with deft fingers a
bunch of evergreens into a frame for a
mantel ornament, and her eyes wore lifted
smiling into the old lady's face.
He entered and closed the door, before
either saw him.
"Grandma Leeds ! '
"Why, bless my heart, it is Austin !
Come here my boy !"
And the fine gentleman came and gave
both hands to her in his delight.
"Janie, my little playmate, too 1 What

"Yoa are right. We are better pleased
to have it so, are we not, Janet ?"
His call lengthontd itself into two hours,
and daring the time he told the pleasant
stories ana chatted like the boy of by-gone
dayp, bat not once did Margaret's or Let
tie's came pass his lips.
When he went away he met them com
ing with disappointed facts from the par
lor, where they had been waiting for him;
bat he only lilted his hat and passed out.
Then grandma and Jauet received a sound
ecolding, each a3 only these two knew
how to give, and the shadows of discon
tent again fell on Janet's spirit.
Ah, that long cheerless winter ! What
a story Janet could tell yoa of disap
pointments, of happy parties of which she
had no share, of moonlight ridts, of joy
and merriment. She had only that one
comforter, kind, patient grandma; for now
taat Austin Bosworth bad roma the way
was harder than before.
He came and escorted Lettie to parties,
and cometimes chatted with grandma, but
nothing more. She saw nothing more -she
did not catch the good natnred amiles
he gave her from the sleigh as he rode
away and Lettie never told her how often
he asked for her.
Janet's father smiled upon his astonish
