" And a note, asking if it would be con .venient for me to 'drive out to High Bridge with him thil afternoon, to look at tne improvements projected and com plete. Oh, dear, I suppose I shall have to go!" ' n! '1 It will be such an excellent oppor tunity for you to wear your new fall hat,'' said Mrs. Medlicott. Blnnche Medlicott ran in and out o the 'spacious rooms of the Jligh Bridge villa like a child in a new playhouse She was a prettty little creature; plump and rosy as a peacB, with jet black hair grojwing low on her creamy brow, bigj wandering eyes, and a deep dimple in her! chin. She was young enough to be Mrj Fordyce Fotheringay's daughter1, but he cared little for that. He was wealthy enough to buy a wife to suithirn, as Well as any other expensive luxury. and Blanche Medlicott was just the article he needed to complete his estaq lishment ! Mrs. Medlicott folloAved. with state! 7 v.,., .-x'x;'- wv.e. rooms. -'i.And this is the dining-room, eh? said she. ' A stately apartment, indeed! Blanche, my love, I shall expect why, where is the child ?" j ' She .was here just now," said Mr. Fotheringay. " Ob, here she comes !" And. Blanche ran in, coloring like a rose. Who is that handsome young man m the library ?" she demanded, flushed and breathless. "I lst the chain to my bracelet, and we had euch a;time finding it r ;. ; Mr. Fotheringay's brow darkened. 4 Ho he is a young person engaged in making architectural drawings," said he, constrainedly. "Shall we go on to the billiard room ?" j " If you like," said Blanche; but she hod evidently lost all interest in the new house, until Mr. Fotheringay asked whether she would prefer satin draperies orl velvet lambrequins to the boudon windows. " It shall be according to your taste," said he. ' Or shall the upholsterer put up both to-morrow, and let you choose Blanche caucrht at this suggestion. She would like that plan, she said. !" Only I am sorry I shall not be ab to be here, myself, on account of a meet ing of bank directors, but" I" Oh, that will make no difference at all," said provoking Blanche. ! It was wonderful, after this, how many meetings with upholsterers, decorators, florists and plumbers was necessary, and what a lively interest the future Mrs, Fotheringay seemed to take in her new home. . ! j 'j "I told jtni it would be so, "said Mrs. Medlicott. 1 1 j j jjj : The December, ;sunset was reddening over ; the snowy banks of the Harlem river- the carriage had waited an hour for Miss Medlicott. The decorators hav ing decided that the octagon dressing- room should be "done off" in steel gray and violet, beaded with gold, had gone back to their Broadway headquar ters, I and still Miss Medlicott lingered in the conservatory with the young archi tect, whose opinion seemed to be 'so necessary on most subjects. " You are quite sure you don't regret m . i -r-T 1 nil "1 rtt - ll? your decision, liiancne .' saia unarue Gale, tenderly. I (As if it were such an essential ques tion between steel gray and violet and pink and fawn !) "I don't regret anything, Charlie," said Blanche, with a downward sweep of the long black lashesl " But what will he say ?" "What he pleases," said Mr. Gale, with! supreme mdifference. " Your hap piness, dearest, is my first consideration -my own, the next. As for the purse proud aristocrat who grudges me the- bread I honestly earn, and is ashamed to own me as his relative before the girl lie intends to marry, I have neither pity nor toleration for him." J Blanche Medlicott's wedding day ar rived at last a brilliant, windy, January morn the earth all glittering with the diamond powder men call snow; the sky, blue as a dome of sapphire; the bride maids, in white and lilac, fluttered! to and fro, dimpled and expectant; the iuberoses and cape jessamines flung their fragrance on the air;" the great bake, sparkling with sugar crystals and garlanded with flowers, was waiting td be cntt The clergyman stood up with open, book as the bridal train swept into "Whyi" cried-out the mother-in-law elect, with clasped hands, and eyes near ly starting out ,of her head, "it's the wrong man !

'; - ; -" - - : There was a momentary silence, so deep that you might have heard a pin 4rop,ijnd then. Dr. Fullalove went sol- emniy on wim me marriage service, lie had. scarcely pronounced the last words when there was a bustle vat the door, and Mr. Fordyce Fotheringay, in full wed ding costume, rushed into the room. "I am sorry to be detained," he began, breathlessly, "but the hackman was behind time, and " "You are! too late," said Blanche, turning upon him with eyes i of mis chievous exultation. "I am married !" 0 'c - i j "To your half -brother, Charles Gale." i The poor relation bowed low. Penni less, friendless, he had yet won the prize which all Fordyce Fotheringay's money could hot buy. "How dared youv lo this?" huskily demanded the millionaire. j "Because! she loved me and loathed you," was the boldly spoken reply. And that was Blanche's wedding. The stately villa at High Bridge, with its domed conservatory and Italian por tico, stands empty yet ; but Blanche is as happy as a crowned queen, in the little two-story cottage, on the Harlem railroad, where Charlie comes home every night ' when his duties as book keeper in a wholesale house! down town are over. Mrs. Medlicott does not rec ognize her daughter when, seated in her claret colored landau, she sweeps past Blanche sitting under the trees of the Central Park ; bu little cares the young wife for that.! ! "I have my husband," she says, "and that is all I care for. If I had married that rich man, I should (have. been wretched for lif e ; and their feelings blind the happy couple to the falsehood and treachery of which they were guilty toward Fordyce Fotheringay. Horses in Vinteri. ; The bad condition of the roads and severe winds are very trying to horses. After labor give them a good rubbing down, and blanket them carefully if ex posed to a current of air. Give food in proportion to the work required. 1 From the grain bin comes the strong muscles. The practice of regulating the 'food of horses by the amount of work they are required to perform is a good one if properly followed. A horse, when lying comparatively idle in winter, should have less solid food than amid the hard work of spring and summer. When a horse is to be driven 'or put to extra hard labor, it is well to prepare him byj extra feed ing beforehand. If extra services are required of a horse on any particular day, and an extra feed is given, let him have it the previous evening j rather than an hour or two before using. If put to work soon after eating the food does not digest, and the animal is required to car ry about with him a large mass pf un digested fodder which is rather a burden than a'help to him. Whereas, if fed the evening before, the food is assimilated changed to flesh and bloodfand sends health anjd vigor through all ; the system. Asa general rule, working horses should be fed reguay, both as to time and amount. The care and attention requis ite for the health and comfort of our ani mals' is a sacred duty we owe them inad equate return for services which are in dispensableto the pioper enjoyment of life by our race. A Story About Washington. ' The Boston Transcript tells a little j story about1 Washington, which came from the lips of an old lady in Rhode Island twenty-five years agoJ Her father j kept a tavern in that small colony during the Revolution. He received word that Gen. Washington and his staff would ar rive on a certain day and call j for din ner. Great preparations were made, and when the distinguished guests .en tered the dinning-room their eyes fell on a dainty xeasw 1x0 memuen ui. uic family stood behind the chairs, dressed, in their best clothes, to wait upon the officers. Great was their surprise when Washington quietly turned to the host ess and asked : " Have you plenty of milk in the house ? If you can, I wish! you would give me a bowl of hasty pud ding and milk." The frugal fare was furnished, and he would j eat nothing else. After dinner one of the family said to him : '-Your work is so hardj we should I suppose you j would neecjl something jmore hearty than hasty pud ding and milk." Placing his hand upon his head, he replied : " Here is my work." j' !': i THE ELECTORAL TOTE. The Joint Convention. ; After the debate in the House upon the Eleo tora commissioners1 decision in tne Louisiana case&nd the rejection in that body of, the de cision by a vote of 172 to 99, the j two houses assembled in joint convention, and the electoral votesjof Louisiana were counted for Hayes, i .Tfcere was no manifestation of any kind at the innonncement. and the opening and count ing if the certificaies proceeded in alphabetical orde , the State of Maine giving seven votes for Hayes and Wheeler, Maryland eight votes for Tildsn and Hendricks, and Massachusetts thir teentvotes for Hayes and Wheeler. I I When the certificate from the State of Michigan was read giving the eleven votes for and Wheeler, iklr. Tucker ; (Dem.), of lL . rose" and presented , an objection to , the counting of the vote of Daniel L. Cross man, one ofHhe electors, declaring that one Benton Hanchett, having been elected one of the electors for the State of Michigan and having held and still holds the office of United States commissioner, had absented himself from tthe meeting of electors on the sixth of December, and that his place had been filled by the other electors. - The houses separated and debated the ob jection, but both of them soon agreed to ac cept the elector in question and the joint con vention again assembled. Then followed the State of Minnesota, with five votes for Hayes and Wheeler ; Mississippi, with eight votes for Tilden and Hendricks; Missiouri, with fifteen votes for Tilden and Hendricks ; Nebraska, with three i votes for Hayes and Wheeler, and Nevada, with three votes fortlayes and Wheeler. i Mr. Springer (Dem.), of Illinois, objected to the count of one of the three votes of Nevada, on the ground that the elector R. M. Daggett, was at the time of his appointment, and for a long time previously, and thereafter j continued to be, a United States commissioner for; the circuit and district courts of the United States in the district of Nevada. The objection is signed by Messrs. Springer, Tucker, j Vance, of Ohio, Sparks, Savage, Marsh andJenks, repre sentatives ; and by Senators Barnum, Wallace and Hereford. i Once again the houses separated, and the Senate voted to accept the Nevada elector but the House," without discussing the case, took a recess until the next day. 1 When the joint convention reassembled, the decision of the tribunal giving the vote of Ore gon to Hayes and Wheeler was announced. The presiding officer asked whether there were objections to the decision, j Senator Kelly (Dem.), of Oregon, objected to the decision, giving his reasons. The two houses then separated. I The action of each house on the objection to the decision in the case of Oregon having been read, the presiding officer announced the two houses again met in joint convention. I The certificate from the State of Pennsyl vania, giving twenty-eight votes for Hayes and IWheeler, having been read, and the presiding bfficer having asked whether there was any objection to the vote, Mr. Stenger (Dem.), of Pennsylvania, rose and objected to the counting of the vote of Henry A. Boggs, of Pennsylvania on the ground that the electors had no right to appoint him in place of Dtniel J. Morrell. who was rendered ineligible be cause an officeholder. . , I Attached to the objections are a copy' of the President's commission to Mr. &IorrelL certified by the secretary of State, and the testimony taken with reference to this case before the committee on the powers, privileges i and duties pf the Hoflse. I J When the reading was finished (there being 10 further objections to the vote of ; Pennsyl vania) the Senate retired. ! I Th joint convention having reassembled, Senator Allison, one of the tellers, announced that the State of Pennsylvania had given twenty-nine votes far Hayes and Wheeler. :;jv The certificates from Rhode Island, was then read, showing four votes for Hayes and Wheeler. I Objection was made to the vote: of Elector Slater, it being set forth in the second section of such objection, aB follows : That George A. Corliss, according to the decision of the Elec toral commission, if said decision by law ren dered, in the count of the vote of J. W. Watts, as elector of the State of Oregon, was duly ap pointed elector by die State of Rhode Island ; and the substitution for him of said Slater was illegal and unconstitutional. I The question having been referred to the two houses, in separate session, and decided in I favor of Slater, the senators re-entered the -lebamber, and the vote of Rhode Island was, after the observance of the usual formality an nounced as four for Hayes and Wheeler. I The next certificate opened was that from South Carolina authenticated by Governor I Chamberlain, showing seven votes for Hayes and Wheeler. It was followed by another cer- j tificate showing seven votes for Tilden and Hendricks, with a statement by the jelectors explaining the absence of the governor's au thentication. The obiection to the Republican certificate y was presented by Representative Cochrane, of 1'ennsyivaiua ; ana me oojecuou w icuiir cratic one was Resented by Senator Patterson, of South Carolina. I . The South Carolina election question bemg before the commission, the certificates number ed one and two were discussed at considerable length. ' i . , . ! Mr. Frelinghuysen offered the following : Jlesolved, That Theodore R. Barker, S. Mc Gowan, John W. Harrington, John Isaac In graham, William Wallace, John B.

This was adopted yeas, 8 ; nays, 7. The South Carolina electors were counted for Hayes the House voting against them. The convention reassembled. Tennessee and Texas were next counted for Tilden and! Hendricks. Vermont was then reached, and became the subject of a struggle in the joint convention. Not only was one of the Vermont electors ob jected to, but Mr. Springer insisted that there were two certificates from that State, and that the caee must go before the Electoral commis sion. The president of the Senate refused to entertain this proposition, and the two houses again separated. The Electoral Tribunal. The tribunal having concluded its discussion the following resolution - was offered by Mr. Edmunds : '! Jiesolved, That the certificate signed by E. A. Cronin, J. N. T."
