To a superficial survey the idea of a con stituency might have seemed incongruous enough with these rugged wilds. The July sunshine rested on stupendous crags ; tho torrent was bridged only by a rainbow hovering above the cataract; in all the wide prospect of valley and far-stretching Alleghany ranges the wilderness was bro ken by no field or clearing. But over this gloomy primeval magnificence of nature universal suffrage brooded like a benison, and candidates munificently endowed with 44 face an' grace were wont to thread the tangled mazes of Big Injun Mounting. The presence f voters in this lonely re gion was further attested by a group of teamsters, who had stopped at the wayside spring that the oxen might drink, ana in the interval of waiting, had given them selves over to tho interest of local politics ana tnc xervor or controversy. 44 Waal, they tells me ez he made a pow erful good 'torney gineral las' time. An it pears ter me ez the mounting folks oughter vote fur him agin them town cusses, kase he war born an' raised right down hyar on the slope of Big Injun Moun ting. He never leP thar till he war twen ty year old, when he went ter live yander at Carrick Court House, an' arter a while tuk ter study in' of law.'1 The last speaker was the most uncouth of the rough party, and poverty-stricken as to this world's goods, instead of wagon, he bad only a rude 44 slide;" his lean oxen were thrust from the water by the stronger and better-fed teams; and his argument in favor of the reelection of the attorney for the State in this judicial cir cuit called, in the vernacular 44 the 'tor nev-enneral " was received with scant courtesy. "Ye're a darned fool ter be braggin' that Rufus Chadd air a mounting boy ! " exclaimed Abel Stubbs, scornfully. 44 He hev bed the insurance ter git ez thick ez he kin with them town folks down thar at Ephesus, an' he hev made ez hard speech es a (Tin evervooay mat warm, icr from Bie Iniun ez ef he bad never laid eyes on 'em till that mimt; an' arter al that the mounting folks liev done fur mm, too ! Twar thar vote that elected hira the fust time be. run; kase the convention put up that thar Taylor man, what nobody knowed nuthin' about an'jeslAsspised; an' the t'other candidates wouldn't agree ter the convention, but jea' went, before the people ennyhow, an' the vote war so split that Big' Injun kerried Ruie Chadd in. An' what do he do f Ef it hadn't hev been fur his term a-givin' out be would hev jailed the whole mounting arter a while!" The dwellers on Big Injun Mounting are not the first rural community that have aided in the election of a prosecuting offi cer, and afterward have become wroth with a fiery wrath because he prosecutes. 4tAn' them town folks," Abel Stubbs continued, after a pause 4 4 at fust they war mightily interrupted 'bout the way that the election hed turned out, an' they promised the Lord that they would never butt agin a convention no more while they lived in this life. Hevin a mounting law yer over them town folks in Colbury an' Ephesus war mighty humbling ter thar pride, I reckon : nobody hed never hcarn tell o' sech a thinz afore. But when these hyar horse-thieves an' mounting fellers ginerally got ter goin' in sech a constancy ter the pen'tiary, them town ioik.8 cnaugeu . ma I thar tune 'bout Hule Uhaa. i ney iowea ez they hed never hed sech a good 'torney gineral afore. An' now they air goin' ter hev a new election, an' hyar is Rufe a-leadin' off at the head of the convention ez graceful ez ef he bed never butted agin it in his life." 44 Waal," drawled a heavy fellow, speak ing for the first time a rigid soul, who would fain vote the straight ticket 44 1 won't support Rufe Chadd ; and yit I dun no how I kin git my cornsent ter vote agin the nominee." 44 Rufe Chadd air goin' ter be beat like hell broke loose," said Abel Stubbs, hope fully. 44 He will cf Big Injun hev enny say-so 'bout'n it," rejoined the rigid voter. ,4 I hev never seen a man ezonpopular ez he is nowadays on this mounting." 44 1 hev beam tell max tne Kin-ioia some of them convicts what he made sech hard spee'ehes agin hev swore ter git even with him itL" said Abel Stubbs. 44 Rufe Chadd hev been shot at twice in the woods sence he kem up on Big Injun Mounting. I seen him yfesliddy, an he tole me so; an he showed me his bat wbar a rifle baU hed done gone through. An' I axed him ef he warn't afeard of all them men what hed wo.h a crrndffc asrin him. ' Mister Stubbs,' he say, sorter saitye-know them's the ways be hev l'arnedin Ephesus an' Colbury an' sech. an' he hed- afore he ever left Big Tninn Mounting, the sassiest toneue that ever washed 'Mister Stubbs,' Rufe say, micrhtv rwrlite. 4 foolin' with me is like mHn' tacPH at a rattlesnake: it may be satisfying to the feelin's, but 'taint safe. That's what Rufe tole ter me." Twould pleasure me some ter see Kuie Chadd agin," said tne ariver oi me suue, . . .... a ll. ! A Me an' him air les tne same age ininy three year.

' He did talk mighty sharp an stingin the fust time he war electioneenn on Uig Iniun Mounting," the rigid voter reluc- tantly aamittea; -dui meuuc " "c' " got how sence he hev done been livin' with lUCUI tuwu ivtiva. "F.fve wants ter know whether Rufe 10 Chadd hev furgot how ter talk, jes take ' a ter thievin' of horses an' sech, will ye I " ex claimed Abel Stubbs, witn an emphatic noa. 44 Ye oughter hev beam the tale ray oroiner brung from, the court-house at Ephesus when Josh Green war tried.

I must be joltm' along. The ox carts rumbled slowly down the steep hill, the slide continued its liilxirious ascent, and the rorcst was iciiwncc mmc to the fitful stir of the wind and the cease less pulsations of the falling torrent. The shadows of the oak leaves movea to nnu fro with dazzling effects of interfulgent sunbeams. Alar on tne Diue mounin shimmered through the heated air; but how cool was. this clear rush of emerald water and the bounding white spray of the cataract! The sudden flight of a bira cleft the rainbow; there was a flash oi moisture On his swift wings, and he left his wild, sweet cry echoing far behind hira. Beetling high above the stream, the crags seemed to touch the sky. One glance up and up those towering, majestic steeps how it lifted the soul 1 The settlement, perched upon the apparently inaccessible heights, was not visible from the road be- low. it cowered DacK anngnwu irom me verge of the great cliff and the grimly yawnjng abysses. The huts, three or four in number, were all silent, and might have been all tenantlcss, so lonely was their as pect. Behind them rose the dense forest, filling the background. In a rush-bottomed chair before the little store was the only human creature to be seen in the ham let a man whose appearance was strange ly at variance with his surroundings. He had the long, lank frame of the moun taineer; but instead of the customary brown jean9 clothes, he wore a suit of blue flannel, and a dark straw hat was drawn over his brow. This simple attire and the cigar that he smoked had given great of fence to the already prejudiced dwellers on Big Injun Mounting. It was not deemed meet that Rufe Chadd should 44 git tuk up with them town ways, an sot hisself ter wcarin' of store clothes." His face was a great contrast to the faces of the stolid mountaineers. It was keenly chiseled ; the constant friction of thought had worn awav the grosser lines, leaving sharply-defined features with abrupt turns) of expression. The process migoi oe likened to the gradual denudation of those storied strata of his mountains by the mo mentum of their torrents. And here was no quiet spirit. It could brook neither defeat nor control ; conven tional barriers went down before it ; and thus some years ago it had come to pass that a raw fellow from the unknown wil dernesses of the circuit was precipitated upon it as the attorney for the State. A startling sensation had awaited the dull court-rooms of the villages. The moun taineer seemed to have brought from his rugged heights certain subtle native in stincts, and the wily doublings of the fox. the sudden savage Spring of the catamount, i the deadly sinuous approach of the cop perhead, were displayed with a frightful effect translated into human antagonism. There was a great awakening of the som nolent bar; counsel for the defence became eager, active, zealous, but the juries fell under bi&rdomination, as the weak always submit to the strong. Those long-drawn cases that hang on from term to term be cause of faint-hearted tribunals, too mer ciful to convict, too just to acquit, van ished as if by magic from the docket. The besom of the law swept the country, and his name was a terror and a threat. His brethren of the bar held him in somewhat critical estimation. It was said that his talents were not of a high order; that he knew no law ; that he possessed only a remarkable dexterity with the few broad principles familiar to him, and a certain swift suppleness in their applica tion, alike effectual and imposing. He was a natural orator, they admitted. His success lay in his influence on a jury, and his influence on a lury was due to a mag netic earnestness and so strong a belief in his own powers that every word carried conviction with it. But he did not see in its entirety the massive grandeur of that Greatest monument of numan intellect known as the common law of England. In the face of all detraction, however, there were the self-evident facts of his suc cess and the improvement in the moral at- mnsnhere wrousrht durins his term of office. He was thiuking of these things as he sat with his absorbed eyes fastened uoon the horizon, and of the change in himself since he had left his humble home on the slope of Biglnjun Mounting. There he had lived seventeen years in ignorance of the alphabet; he was the first of his name who could write it. From an almost primitive state he had overtaken the civili zation of Ephesus and Colbury, no great achievement, it might seem to a sophisti cated imagination : but the mountains were a hundred years behind the progress of those centres. His talents had burst throuch the stonv crust of circumstance, like the latent fires of a volcano. And he had plans for the future. Only a short . .... a while ago he had been conhdent wuen ne thought of them ; now they were hampered by the great jeopardy of his re-election, because of the egregious blindness that couVd not distinguish duty from malice, justice from persecution. He had felt the strength of education and civilization ; he was beginning to feci the terrible strength of ignorance. His faitn in his own powers was on the wane. ' He had experienced a suffecating sense of impotence when, in stumping Big Injun Mounting, he had been called upon by the meagre but voci ferous crowd to justify the hard bearing of the prosecution upon Josh Green 44 fur stealin of Squire Bibb's old gray mare, that ye know, Rufe, fur ye hev plowed with her, war n't wuth more n ten dol lars. Ef Josh hedn't been in the dark, he wouldn't hev teched sech a pore old critter. Tell us 'bout 'n seven year in the ren'tiarv fur a mare wuth ten dollars."7 What possibility even with Chadd's wordy dexterity of satisfying such de mands as this! He found that the strength of ignorance lies in its blundering brutal ity. And he found, too, tnat meniai su premacy docs not oi its innereni nature always aspire, but can be bent downward to low ends. The opposing candidates made capital of these illogical attacks; they charged him with his most brilliant exploits as ingenious perversions of the law and attempts Upon the liberties of the people. Chadd ocgan to despair oi uu sipating the prejudice and ignorance so readily crystallized uy nis opponents, nu the only savage instinct left to him was to die game. He lustined nis past conduct hv the curt declaration that ne had done r . A. . i i j 1 his duty 'according to tne iaw, nu uc asked the votes of his fellow-citizens with nn arrogant hauteur worthy of Conolanus. The afternoon was wearing away ; the lengthening shadows were shifting; the unlitarv ficmre that had been motionless in the shade was now motionless in the gold en sunshine. A sound broke upon the air other than the muffled thunder of the falls and the droning reiteration of the katvdid. There came from the rocky path threading the forest the regular beat of horses' hoofs, and In a few moments three ' men rode into the clearing that sinned to the verge of the cliff. The first faint footfall s a spell to wake the Set tlement to sudden life: sundry feminine faced were thrust out of the rode windows; bevies of lean-limbed, tow-headed, un kempt children started up from unexpec ted nooks ; the store-keeper strolled to the door, and stood with his pipe in his mouth, leaning heavily against the frame; and Rufus Chadd changed his position with a slow lounging motion, and turned his eyes upon the road. 44 Waal," said the store-keeper, with frank criticism, as the trio came in sight. 44 Isaac Boker's drunk agin. It's the natur' of the critter, I'm a-thinkin'. He hev been ter the stall, ez sure ez ye air born. I . hopes t ain't a dancin'-drunk he hev got. . ... . . . i a i U The las' time ne nea a aancin -uruna, uc jes' bounced up an' down the floor, an hollered an' sung an' sech, an' made sech ft disturbamcnt that the Settle mint war kep' awake till daybreak, mighty nigh. 'T war mighty pore enjoyment for the Settlewun. 'T war like sittin' up with the sick an' dead, stiddier along of a hap py critter like him. I 'm powerful sorry fur his wife, 'kase he air mighty rongh ter her when he air drunk; he cut her once a toler'ble bad slash. She hev had ter do all the work fur four year plowin, an' choppin' wood, an cookin', an' washin', an' sech. It hev aged her some. An' all her chillcn is gals,- little gals. Boys, now, mought grow some help, but gals is more no 'count the bigger they gits. She air a tried woman, surely. Isaac is drunk ez a constancy, dancin' drunk, moe'ly. Nuthin' kin stop him." 44 A good thrashing would help him a little, I 'm thinking," drawled the lawyer. 44 And if I lived here as a constancy I 'd give it to him the first sober spell he had." His speech was slow ; his voice was spirit less and languid; he still possessed the tone and idiom of the mountaineer, but he had lost the characteristic pronuncia tion, more probably from the influence of other associations than an appreciation of its incorrectness. 44 That ain't the right sort o' sawder fur a candidate. Rufe." the store-keeper ad monished him. 4'An" 't ain't safe no how fur sech a slim, stringy boy ez ye air ter talk that way 'bout 'n Isaac Boker. He air a tremenjous man, an' ez strong cz an ox." 44 1 can thrash any man who beats his wife," protested the officer of the law don't sec how the Settlement gets its own consent to let that sort of thing go on 44 She air his wife," said the store keeper, who was evidently of conservative tenden cies. 44 An' she air powerful tuk up with hira. 1 nev nearn ner viow c ne air Dct ter dancin'-drunk than other men sober, Shis'1 could hev married other men; she did n't suffer with hevin' no ch'ice." 44 He ought to be put under lock and kev" said Chadd. 44 That would sober him. I wish these dancin'-drunk fellows could be sent to the state-prison. 1 1 could make a iurv think ten years was almost too good for that wife-beating chap. I'd like to see him get away from me." There was a certain calculating cruelty in his face as he said this. He was anima ted by no chivalric impulse to protect the weak and neipiess; tne spirit rouscu wuu in him was rather the instinct of the beast of prey. The store-keeper looked askance at him. In nis mental review oi tne changes wrought in the past few years there was one that had escaped Rufus Chadd's attention. The process was in sinuating and gradual, but the result was bold and obvious. In the constant oppo sition in which he was placed to criminals, in the constant contemplation of the worst phases of human nature, in the active effort which his duty required to bring the perpetrators of all foul deeds to jus tice, he had grown singularly callous and pitiless. The individual criminal had been merged in the abstract idea of crime, After the first few cases ne nad oeen auie to banish the visions of the horrors brought upon other lives than that of the prisoner by the verdict of guilty. Mother, wife, children, these pale, puisning phantoms were exorcised by prosaic custom, and his steely insensibility made him the master of many a harrowing court-room scene. 44 That would be a mighty pore favor ter his wife," said the store-keeper, after a pause. 4 'She hed ruther be beat." The three men had dismounted, hitched their horses, and were now approaching the store. Rufus Chadd rose to shake hands with the foremost of the party. The quick fellow was easily schooled, and the store-keeper's comment upon his lack of policy induced him to greet the new-comers with a greater show of cordiality than he had lately practiced toward his constit uents. 4' I never looked ter find ye hyar this soon, Rufe," said one of the arrivals. 44 What hev ye done with the t'other can didates r 44 1 left them behind, as I always do" said Chadd, laughing, "and as I expect to do again next Thursday week, u 1 can get you to promise to vote ior me. 44 1 ain't a-gom' ter vote fur ye nary time." interpolated Boker. as he reeled i i heavilv forward. Well, I'm sorry for that," said Chadd, with the candidate's long-suffering pa tience. -'Whyr Isaac Boker felt hardly equal to argu ment, yet he steadied himself as well as he could, and looked vacantly into the eyes of his interlocutor for some pointed inspiration ; perhaps he caught there an intimation of the contempt in which he was held. He still hesitated, but with a sudden anger inflaming his bloated face. Chadd waited a moment for a reply; then be turned carelessly away, saying that he would stroll about a little as sitting still so long was fatiguing. 44 Ef ye war whar ye oughter be, a-fol- lerin' of the plow," said Isaac Boker, 44 ye would n't git a chance ter tire yerself a sittin' in a cheer." " T Ann't Tnnld mvaplf tan hicrh for nlow- ing," replied Chadd, in a conciliatory man ner. "Flowing is likely worn ior any able-bodied roan." This speech was un lucky. There was in it an undercurrent of suggestion to Isaac Boker's suspicious con- science, nt tnuuiiv uuauu iuwumu covert allusion to his own indolence in the field, and his wife's activity as a substi tute. 44 It was only an accident that took me out of the furrow," Chadd continued. 44 T war a kulin' accident ter the coun try," said Isaac Boker. 44 Fur they tells me that ye don't know no more law than a mounting fox." Chadd laughed, Dut he sneered too. His patience was evapo rating. Still he restrained his irritation by an effort, and Boker went on: "Folks ez Is bred ter the plow ain't got the sense an' the showin' ter make peart lawyers. An' that's why I ain't a-goin' ter vote fur ye." This plain speaking was evidently rel ished by the others; they said nothing, but their low acquiescent chuckle demon strated their opinion. ' 44 1 have n't asked yon for your vote," said Chadd, sharply. - The burly fellow paused for a moment, in stupid surprise; fen his drunken wrath, rising,' he exclaimed. "An' why nt ve ax me far mY vote then T Ye 're the damndest critter in this country, Tbtff. Chadd. ter come electioneenn' on Big Injun Mounting, an' a-makin' out ez I ain't gdbd enough ter be axed ter vote fur ye T Ye hed better not be tryin' ter sot me down lower 'n other folks. I'll break that empty cymlin' of a head of yourn," and he raised his clenched fist. 44 If you come a step nearer I'll throw you off the bluff," said Chadd. 44 That '11 be a powerful cur'ous tale ter the go rounds o' the mounting," remarked one of the disaffected by-standers. "Ye hev done all ye kin ter torment yer own folks up nyar on mg injun mounting wout elec ted ye afore ; an' then ye comes up hyar agin, an' the fust man that says he won't vote fur ye must be nungea on n tne bluff." 4 "Pears ter me," said Isaac Boker, sur- ily, and still shaking his fist, "cz thar ain't all yit in the pen'tiary that desarves ter go thar. Better men than ye air, Rufe Chadd, hev been locked up, an- nungtoo, sence ye war elected ter office." There was a sudden change in the law yer's attitude ; a strong tension of the mus cles, as of a wild-cat ready to spring; the quickening of his blood showed in his scarlet face ; there was a fiery spark in his darkening eyes. 44 Oh, come now, Kuie, said one oi tne ookers-on hastily. 44 Ye ought n't ter git ter fightin' with a drunken man. Jes' walk yerseii on lur a wnue. 44 Oh. he can my what he likes while he's drunk," replied Chadd, with a short, scornful laugh. 44 But I tell you, now, he had better keep his fists for his wife." . The others gathered about tne great, massive fellow, who was violently gesticu lating and incoherently asserting his offen ded dignity. Chadd strolled away toward the gloomy wood, bis hands in his pock ets, and his eyes bent upon the ground. Glances of undisguised aversion followed him from the group about the store, from the figures in the windows and doors of the poor dwellings, even from the half clad children who paused in their spirit less play to gaze after him. He was vaguely conscious of these pursuing looks of hatred, but only once he saw the uni versal sentiment expressed in a face. As the long shadows of the forest fell upon his path, he chanced to raise his eyes, and encountered those of a woman standing Boker's cabin. He went on, feeling like a martyr. The thick foliage closed upon him; the sound of his languid foot steps died in the distance, and the figures on the cliff stood in the sunset glow, watching the spot where he had disap peared, as silent and as motionless as if they had fallen under some strange, un canny spell. The calm of the woodland, the refresh ing aromatic odors, the rising wind after the heat of the sultry day, exerted a revivi fying influence upon the lawyer's spirits, as he walked on into the illimitable soli tudes of the forest. Night was falling be fore he turned to retrace his way; above the opaque, colorless leaves there was the lambent glinting of a star; the fitful plaint of a whip-poor-will jarred the dark still ness; grotesque black shadows had mus tered strong among the huge boles of the trees. But he took no note of the gath ering gloom; somehow, his heart had grown suddenly light. He had forgotten the drunken wrangler and all the fretting turmoils of the canvass; once he caught himself in making plans, with his almost impossible success in the election as a ba sis. And yet, inconsistently enough, he felt a dismayed astonishment at his unac countable elation. The workings of his own mind and their unexpected develop ments were always to him strange phe nomena. He was introspective enough to take heed of this inward tumult, and he had a shrewd suspicion that more activity was there than in all the mental exercita tions of the combined bench and bar of the circuit. But he harbored a vague dis trust of this uncontrollable power within, so much stronger than the untutored crea- . . . A V tnr to wnom it appenaineu. a Harass ing sense f double n ess often possessed him, and he was tern by conflicting coun sels the inherent inertia and conserva tism of the mountaineer, who would fain follow forever the traditional customs of his ancestry, and an alien overwhelming impetus, which carried him on in spite of - 1 1 .1 V : 1 AnA 1.;m with Kia Awn esnloita. He was helpless under this un reasonable expectation of success, and regarded the mental gymnastic of joyous anticipation with perplexed surprise. 44 I'm fixing a powerful disappointment for myself," he said. He could now see, through the long vista of the road, the open space where the Settlement was perched upon the crag. The black, jagged outline of the rock ser rated the horizon, and was cut sharply into the delicate, indefinable tints of the sky. Above it a great red moon was ris ing. There was the gleam of the water fall; how did it give the sense of its emer ald green in the darkness t The red, ris ing moon showed, but did not illumine, the humble cluster of log huts upon the great cliff. Here and there a dim yet venial flare of firelight came broadly flick ering out into the night. It was darker still in the dense woods irom wmcn tne road showed this nocturnal picture framed in the oak leaves above his head. But was a sudden flash of lightning shooting across that clear, tenderly-tinted sky ? He felt his warm blood gushing down his face; he had a dizzying sense of falling heavily; and he heard, Btrangely dulled, a hoarse, terrified cry, which he knew he did not utter. It echoed far through the quiet woods, startling the apathetic in habitants of the Settlement, and waking all the weird spirits of the rocks. The men sitting In the store took their pipes from their mouths, and looked at each other in surprise. 44 What's that r " asked one or tne new-Iv-arrived candidates, an Ephesus man, who held that the mountains were not over and above safe for civilized people, and was fain to investigate unaccustomed sounds. 44 Jes' somebody a-hollerin' fur thar cow, mebbe," said the store-keeper. 4 4 Or meb be it air Isaac Boker, ezgits dancin'-drunk wunst in a while." The cry rose again, filling all the rocky abysses and mountain heights with a fren zied horror. From the woods a dark fig ure emerged upon the crag; it seemed to .rwMd aloncr the skv. .blotting out, as it went, the moon and stars. The men at the store sprang to their ieet, snaiceu aj a speechless agitation, when Isaac Boker rushed in among tnem, suuueniy ww, and covered with blood. 44 1 hev done it! " he exclaimed, with a pallid anguish upon his bloated face. 44 1 met him in the woods, an' slashed him ter pieces." The red moon turned to gold in the sky, and the world was flooded with a gentle splendor; and as the honrs went by no louder sound broke upon the gilded dusk than the throb of the cataract, pulsing like the heart of the mountains, and the stir of the wind about the rude, hut where the wounded man had been carried. When Rufus Chadd opened his eyes upon the awe-stricken faces that clustered about the bed, he had no need to be re minded of what bad happened. The wave of life, which it seemed would have carried him so far, had left him stranded here in the ebb, while all the world sailed on. 4 4 They hev got Isaac Boker tied hard an' fast, Rufe," said the store-keeper, in an attempt to reply to the complex changes of expression that flitted over the pale face. Chadd did not answer. He was think ing that no adequate retribution could be inflicted upon Isaac Boker. The crime was not only the destruction of merely sensuous human life, but, alas, of that sub tler entity of human schemes and upward reaching ambitions, and the immeasurable opportunity of achievement, which, after all, is the essence of the thing called life. He was to die at the outset of his career, which his own steadfast purpose and un aided talent had rendered honorable and brilliant, for the unreasoning fury of a drunken mountaineer. And this was an end for a man who had turned his ambi tious eyes upon a chief-justice's chair an absurd ambition but for its splendid ef frontery ! In all this bitterness, however, it was some comfort to know that the criminal had not escaped. 44 Are you able to tell how it happened, Chadd ? " asked one of the lawyers. As Chadd again opened his eyes, they fell upon the face of a woman standing just within the door so drawn and pite ous a face, with such lines of patient en durance burnt into it, with such a woful prophecy in the sunken, horror-stricken eyes, he turned his head that he might see it no more. He remembered that face with another expression upon it. It had given him a look like a stab from the door of Boker's hut, when he had passed in the afternoon. He wished never to see it again, and yet he was constrained to glance bock. There it was. with its quiver of a prescient heart-break. He felt a strange inward thrill, a bewildering rush of emo tion. That sense of doubleness and de velopment which so mystified him was upon him now. He was surprised at him self when he said, distinctly, so that all might hear. J'If I die, don't let them prosecute Isaac Boker." There was a sudden silence, so intense that it seemed as if the hush of death had already fallen, or that the primeval still ness of creation was never broken. Had his soul gone out into the night 1 Was there now in the boundless spaces of the moon lit air some mysterious presence, as incom prehensible to this little cluster of over awed humanity as to the rocks and woods of the mighty, encompassing wilderness ? How did the time pass I It seemed hours before the stone-like figure stirred again. and yet the white radiance on the punch eon floor had not shifted. His conscious ness was coming back from those vague border-lands of life and death. He was about to speak once more. 14 Nobody can know how it happened except me." And then again, as he drifted away, 14 Don't let them prosecute." There was a fine subject of speculation at the Settlement the next morning, when the country-side gathered to hear the candi dates speak. The story of Isaac Boker's attack upon Rufus Chadd was repeated to every new-comer, and the astonishment created by the victim's uncharacteristic re quest when he had thought he was dying revived with each consecutive recital. It presently became known that no fatal re sult was to be anticipated. The doctor, who lived twenty miles distant, and who had just arrived, said that the wounds, though painful, were not dangerous, and his opinion added another element of in terest to the eager discussion of the inci dent. Thus relieved of the shadow of an im pending tragedy, the knots of men congre gated on the great cliff gradually gave themselves up to the object of their meet ing. Candidates of smiling mien circula ted among the saturnine, grave-faced mountaineers. In circulation, too, were other genial spirits, familiarly known as 44 apple-jack." It was a great occasion for the storekeeper ; so pressing and absorbing were his duties that he had not a moment's respite, until Mr. Slade, the first speaker of the day, mounted a stump in front of the store and began to address his fellow citizens. He was a large, florid man, with a rotund voice and a smooth manner, and he was considered Chadd's most formida ble competitor. The mountaineers hastily concentrated in a semicircle about him, listening with the close attention singular ly characteristic of rural audiences. Be hind the crowd was the immensity of the unpeopled forests ; below, the mad fret of the cataract ; above, the vast hemisphere of the lonely skies ; and far, far away was the infinite stretching of those blue ranges that the Indians called The Endless. Chadd had lain in a sort of stupor all the morning, vaguely conscious of the dis tant mountains visible through the open window vaguely conscious of numbers of curious faces that came to the door and cazed in uDon him vaguely conscious of the candidate's voice beginning to resound in the noontide stillness. Then he roused himself. The sensation of the first speech came at its close. As Chadd lay in expectation of the stentorian 44 Hurrah for Slade ! ' which should greet his opponent's peroration, his face flushed, his hands trembled ; he lifted himself on his elbow, and listened again. He could hardly trust his senses, yet there it was once more his own name, vibrating in a prolonged cheer among the mountain heights, and echoing far down the narrow valley. That sympathetic heart of the multitude, so quick to respond to a noble impulse, had caught the true interpretation of last night's scene, and to-day all the barriers of ignorance and misunderstanding were down. The heaviest majority ever polled on Big Injun Mounting was in the reelection of the attorney for the State. And the other candidates thought it a fine election eering trick to get one's self artistically slashed; they became misanthropic in their views of the inconstancy of the peo- nle. and lost faith in saving grace and an overruling Providence. This uncharacteristic episode in the life of Rufus Chadd was always incomprenen sible to his associates. "He hardly under stood it himself. He had made a keen and subtle distinction in a high moral princi ple. As Abel Stubbs said, in extenuation of the inconsistency of voting for bim, 44 1 knows that this hvar Kufe Chadd air a powerful man, an' evil-doers ez offends agin the law ain't got no mercy ter expect from hifti. But then he don't hold no a-rndce asin them ez Bev done him harm, An' that 's what I 'm a-lookin' at." ROBESON COt7HTT9 PBOSPEBITT. The Seoteh are Thrifty Folk. Robesonian.J The crops are just splendid, and many of our farmers number their bales of cot ton by the hundred and loan money by the thousands. We have reapers and mowers, machines for making brick, flouring mills, steam cotton gins by the hundred, steam saw and planing mills, wool factories, &c. There has not been a bushel of corn ship ped to this town this year, so far as we can learn. Corn raised in the county is dull of sale at 60 cents per bushel. But little bacon, comparatively, has been ship ped here this year, and in nearly every store in town plenty of Robeson county hams can be had at 12 cents per pound. With in the last three weeks, at least, sweet po tatoes of last year's crop were to be found in our market, and in a week or two the present crop of sweet potatoes, one of the most Dountiiui ever raisea, win oe reauj for use. Does that look like suffering among the poorer class ? The person must be poor indeed who cannot pay 30 cents per bushel for sweet potatoes, 15 cents per peck for Irish potatoes, ou cents per Dusnei for corn, 11 cents per pound for bacon, and so on throughout We have three rail roads in the county, one of which is owned and operated by two of our own citizens, which put all sections of our county in direct communication with the markets. We have the largest county in the State, the best timbered and the best watered, and some of as fine farming land as can be found anywhere. It produces liberally of corn and the other crops, and is unsur passed for cabbage, onions, and many other garden products. As much as 90 bushels of corn has been raised upon an acre of this gray loam land. 1 be land is . I. j. i i aiso capaoie oi producing as mucn as ouo bushels of sweet potatoes to the acre, and Irish potatoes in proportion, and about 1,500 pounds seed cotton to the acre. To bacco is also being experimented in with most gratifying results so far. The aggregate value of real and personal property in Kobe son county last year, as shown by the tax books, was $3,520,406 50 Of this amount there were 240 town lots valued at $159,588. The farm .of Messrs, A. and W. McQueen, at Plainview, is given in on the tax books this year at $65 per acre, and we learn that Mr. E. B. Ward, of the same community, has 50 acres from which he expects to gather, CO bales of cotton. It is more, than probable that, the aggregate value of real and personal prop erty this year will be more than four mil lions, as a new railroad intersecting the county from North- to South, has been completed since last year and' a good deal of capital concentrated upon it. There are farming lands in this county that could not be bought at $100 per acre. . Toombs and Crawford familie had. al ways been quite intimate. , Uov, Craw ford's sister had married a Dr. Dent, who : , afterward died; of yellow feverin Augusta. During Mr. Toombs's service in the Fed eral Senate a young officer named Grant 1 had been court-martialed in California for: paying out too much money, as Quartermas-. tec of the Fourth Regiment, to bis brother officers. John J. Crittenden, of Kentucky; approached Senator Toombs to secure1 Congressional relief for the unfortunate;. Captain. He stated that young Grant . had married Miss Julia, the daughter of Frederick Dent, of Missouri. This Dent, : it was developed, was a brother of the gentleman in Augusta, and it was hoped that Senator Toombs's interest in conatin tuent would induce him to lend a hand in saving the honor of the Dent family.' 'it was anally agreeay ' saw 1 nr. Toombs, 44 that the Military Committee should report favorably on the Grant . case, provided the . young man would obligate himself to resign immediately on the receipt or his commission.

(."' ; 44 Did he refer to the matter V i 44 Oh. no; but he was exceedingly kind.

GETTING RTD OF A XI VFICtTLTYW ASKING AND TAKING ADVICE. An Old' Italia Story. New York Journal of Commerce. The picture called 44 1 Tre Consigii, about which "Amateur" inquires, is 44 The Three Counsels," and is designed to illus trate an old Florentine story. A poor man overwhelmed by the prospect of an addi tion to his family when he could scarcely find food for himself and wife, started off on an expedition in the hope of returning with full pockets. He worked 23 years without accomplishing his object, and then filled with a yearning to see his home once more, resolved to return. He asked his employer to give him a little money, and received the offer of thirty scudi, or of three counsels at ten scudi each. He chose the latter, and they were thus given (1) Don't open your mouth where it does not concern you ; (2) Don't leave the old road for the new ; (3) Keep the pride of the evening for the next morning. The master also on parting gave him a cofaccia which he was not to eat till the day after his return, and then only at dinner. The man on his way home lodges at an inn where a rich traveler is murdered, but remembering his first counsel he keeps his mouth shut, and is let off safe the next morning by the assassins. Three laborers returning with their wages join him the next day at a wayside inn, and tell him of a new road to the same point they intend to take next day. He prudently resolves to stick by the old way (remembering counsel No. 2), and they agree to meet at evening where the two paths come to gether. They do not meet, as the three are robbed and murdered on the new track. He reaches his home and sees his' wife in the act of embracing and kissing a young priest. He draws his stiletto, but remembering counsel No. 3,' resolves to defer his revenge until the next day. He goes to an inn hard by and there ascer tains that the young priest his wife was holding in her arms was his own son (the dreaded addition to his family which drove him away 25 years before) who had just returned after several months' absence. He makes himself known to his family on the following day, and at his first dinner, breaking open the cofaccia, finds inside the 80 scudi he had declined in favor of good counsel. It is the latter incident that is represented in the picture. GRANT'S FIHST HIBVSTEP. Hew Taoaita Gt Away Frwsa Arret . Atlanta Constitution. i ' ! 44 When the war waa over.

He was a West Pointer," re marked the General, with a peculiar facial expression, 44 and with West Pointers tne choice of arms is a profession into which patriotism enters but little." 1S1U you ever iibtc buj jiciguuai tions with Grant as President T" 44 Oh. yes," he replied. 44 When the last days of the war brought the thieving Federals this way they stole my books and manuscripts. I would not take a hundred thousand dollars for them now if l baa them, and there was a time when I would not have taken half a million for them. When Grant became President I went to Washington to endeavor to recover these papers. When I entered I was received quite cordially and stated my errand. President Grant took the greatest ; Interest in the matter, not onlv assuring me that 1 ahould have my papers returned, but detailing an efficient officer to aid me in ; the search. There is a story behind this, ' however, which partially accounted for Grant's in terest in me." The General then proceeded to tell the story, which was quite interesting 'Tbe 44 4 If you get him to come along against his will,' replied Stephens, 4 you will be the first man who ever did it." 44 On my waj I sold some cotton on my Southwest Georgia plantation, succeeded in reaching New Orleans, thence to 'Cuba, and later to England and France.
