THE GOLDEN HAIR-PIN. . . i - j ... A D1TE01T FEB PHI83 ROMANCI. George Adolpbua Clarendon was a young man of pleasing presence, whose age was not far from 20 years. His father had long and successfully con ducted a most exemplary meat-market at the corner of Market and St. Clair streets, in the thriving village of West! ford, in Central New York, and bad amassed a competence by fair and hon orable means, j But tho son held the meat business in abborrence,and stead- fastly, refused to entartain the thought of folllowing it! for a livelihood. He conceived himself to be formed of a quality of clay quite above the average and was often heard muttering incoher ently in his sleep about the "higher walks of life. " 6ld Mr. Clarendon was i . a stern father, and he determined that if Oeorgo Adolphus would not sell meat he should be compelled to engage in the distribution of bracks, with the heels to ird the paternal mansion. George Adolphus accepted the peripatetic alter native with cheerful alacrity, and went on an aimless tramp. He said he was going in search of his proper level. ' ' ii. :' I ' . Maud Milller was the only child of a tired banker in the Bleepy town of Coupon ville, an aristocratic village in one , of the eastern . counties of Ohio. Maud's charms, both physical and men tal, were the rarest ever lavished upon. woman, and she had been favored with every advantage of eduoation that mon ey could purchase. Her beauty and ac complishments had made .her the idol of a large circle of young men, to none oi wnom naa sue ever given tne sugnt est encouragement. They swarmed un dr her chamber window on moonlight nights and made the long hours hideous With their caterwaulings, until old Mul ler got tired of it and stole around the eorner of the house j with a gun loaded with ten penny nails and let drive at the flock, killing three outright and wounding four others so that they died op the following morning. That was the kind of man Mr.' Muller was, but he was exceedingly fond of his daughter and had always been kind to her. j One evening as Maud was emerging from her boudoir, where she had been scrutinizing a large mirror find dress-' insffor the opera, she was met by her father with the! information that; Mr. juaggieton waiwsu iq toe panur. : Now Mr. Mnggleton was an ancient fossil who had taken a great fancy to Maud, and as he was a man of high so cial standing and great wealth, Mr. Muller had thought best to encourage him 1: as much as possible, hoping thai his daughter would have the good sense; to offer no objection on account of his' age.,. ,'Mr. Mnggleton is waiting; "repeat ed Mr. Muller. "Well; givttjiim my oompliments, and tell him to keep on waiting," re turned Maud, with some spirit. ' "But don't you intend to go down. Are you going io be rude ?" "Ohi Yes," 'replied Maud, with an injured air, "I'll go down and stroke his shiny old bald head and ask him about bis children and bis grandchild- i i a ren, and I'll ask him to give me some personal recollections of Noah. And, if you like, Til goto the opera with him, and I'll ask him if there was bet ter talent on the boards when he and Methuselah' were young." "Now, Maud;" said Mr. Muller.' "you are making a fool of yourself. Mr. Mnggleton never saw Noah in his life. As to grandchildren K you know very well that he is a bachelor,, and hasent a relative in the world so far as he knows. I command you to present yourself at once, and if you don't be have properly, there will be a young lady about your sise begging her bread in the streets before she is aware of it." With these words the indignant father turned on his heel and left Maud to choose which alternative she would. ' U1' While the events above narrated were transpiring, a young man possessing a dignified bearing and eighty-five cents in money, was just entering the bril liantly lighted town of Couponville in search of his level. It was a larger town than he had ever before seen, and he was consequently somewhat dazsled and bewildered. He began to be doubt ful about finding his level that night as the evening was rapidly wearing away and another question was beginning to trouble him, namely: How was he going to reach the higher walk of life without more money ? How was he to be a high-toned gentleman and live in a loftier atmosphere than that which pervaded the meat shops with so small a sum as eighty-five cents in his pock et? As he walked , gloomily along the strange thoroughfare, busy with these troublesome reflections, he heard loud tones issuing from a mansion which he was just passing. A moment later the door opened and a slight female figure hurried silently out into the street, and passing by . him with a quick, deter mined tread, was soon out of sight. When Maud recovered from the shock which her father's angry words had given her, she immediately determined upon a course of action. , Sho resolved that she weuld be turned out of doors before s"he would consent to go to the opera with the antediluvian relic, who waited for her in the parlor. She called her father back and told him her deter mination. The result was that the proud young beauty was promptly ejected through the hall door, for she it was who had passed George Adolphus as he wandered on in search of his level . When Mr. Mnggleton had waited for Maud until he was tired, and on the point of leaving, Mr. Muller entered the room, apologising for the non-appearance of his daughter by saying that she had a violent headache, begged him to come again in a few days, as Mand would then be delighted to see him. The truth was that Mr. Muller had no idea of punishing his daughter's disobe dience with permanent banishment. He reasoned that Bhe would go to some of her friends and return in penitence in the morning. i . t. i ; .: . . George Adolphus followed swiftly on after the young lady, hardly knowing why he did so, but feeling irresistibly drawn by some unaccountable present ment that all wis not well with her. In a few moments he came up with her and followed at a little distanee watching her movements with the keen est interest. But Maud was so intent upon some purpose which lay hidden in bier heart that she did not notiee hint. The street now began to be deserted, but still the resolute girl walked rapid ly on. At length a small foot-bridge across the canal was reached. The girl paused. Was her purpose a desperate one ? George Adolphus asked himself this question and many more besides as he lingered in the shadows close behind herj' ' : ' ..Murmuring something; to the effect lhat the heaving, white-crested billows which rolled at her feet would soon em brace her and free her from her wretch edness, Maud began to take down her hair. ' ' , . j' : '..;.t't.. "Going to swim f' asksd a voice be hind her. " : j : The turned and beheld, a stranger standing at hand. At first she eould not utter a word. Presently, however, she said in tones that betrayed her in tense excitement: ' I Oh, sir, do not thwart my purpose. 1 1 desire to put an end1 to my trouble I wish to sleep beneath, the wave." There isn't any wave there," said George Adolphus. "The canal's dry. You'll break your neck if you jump off this bridge." j "But I want to find a grave in the restless deep. I want the blue billows to fold me in everlssting slumber where the sea-weeds grow in .sunless gloom." "But I tell you my esr lady, there isn't any restless deep any where, around here. You'd better pit it oflftill the eanal opens. Here yoja are talking ' about sleeping beneath-' the billows, when the water -won't be turned on in a month yet. And besides, if you want j to be folded in everlasting slumber, it would be wise for you to jump into a well. You'd have a dead sure thing then." "That would be horrible !" exclained Maud with a shudder. "Yes, it weuld spoil the well,"' re plied George Adolphus. Maud felt that (jreorge Adolphus was right. True, he did not appear to enter very much into the tragic spirit of the situation. He ought to have dropped upon his knees and implored her to for get her trouble and sip a little longer the nectar of life. He ought to have pictured to her imagination a fair-haired girl lying with pallid face and mar ble form in the silent bosom of the, canal where the dolphin sports unseen and the mermaids comb their locks in shad owy solitude. But be did nothing of the kind. He told her to go home and practice in the cistern. , 'Maud thought the matter over for a moment, then bursting into tears she wrung the hand of our hero and ran swiftly home. : George Adolphus stood upon the bridge and watched Maud till she was out of sight. As he stood there wonder ing what it was that weighed so heavi ly upon the mind of this fair young girl, he saw something glittering at his feet. He stooped and eagerly picked it up. It was a golden halr-pin.of pecu liar pattern. It occurred to him at once that it musftfave been lost by the girl when she took down her hair, ne put it in his trousers pocket thinking that it would be a handy thing to pawn for his breakfast. The more he tried to for get about this fair girl, and the previous circumstances under whioh he had met her, the more persistently they rose be fore him. Presently he found 'himself laying plans to find out more about her and then it dawned upon him that he was in love. He then tenderly removed the hair-pin from his trousers pocket and placed it next his heart. It was now getting very late, and the police were beginning to glance suspiciously at our hero, and so he turned into a more re tired street and determined to search for a cheap lodging place. VI. . Old Mr. Mnggleton, whom we left at the residence of Maud's father, wend ed his wsy homeward .filled with bitter disappointment. He had long regarded Maud with tenderness, and had desired to offer her his hand and fortune, and now he felt that he was rejected. He had seen nearly four-score years of bachelorhood, and it was getting mo notonous. He dragged himself wearily and sadly home, and, retired to his bed in wretchedness. vn. The clock had just struck 11, and the town was as silent as the grave, when two villainous looking men, with muf fled faoes.broke open the street door of a large mansion where an ancient bache lor dreaming of a supercilious maiden who had declined to meet him in her parlor a ew hours before. The men passed safely into the bouse, and were soon standing by the bed side of the dreamer. A moment later a swift blow fell upon the unconscious millionaire, but before it could be repeated the as sassin was stricken to the floor. His companion ewapedi The police were summoned by the servants, who had by this time been aroused by the noise, and the captured man was led away in irons." ' :r"" '"-"' " . Who is this young man that has followed these villains and risked his life to save mine?" asked the wounded man. V; I.;., .!. . "My name is George Adolphus Clar endon," was the prompt reply. . "George Adolphus," said the mil- i lionaire. "vou hare done a brave and noble deed. I am mortally wounded, I and I must die in a few hours, but you shall be rewarded. You shall be my heir." The next morning there was crape on the door of the Mnggleton mansion, and George Adolphus was a millionaire. He had been suddenly landed u the lap of luxury. He could not have been more completely taken by surprise if he had suddenly succeeded to the English crown. And yet hismagical elevation to wealth and position did not so en gage his mind as to dispel certain mem ories that were lingering there mem ories that carried bim back to the foot bridge across the canal. Who was the beautiful stranger that had almost made the canal bridge a "bridge of sighs ?" Why had she sought a watery grave ? And if she wanted to rid herself of sor row, why didn't she jump off a house, instead of hunting up a dry canal, full of broken glass, iron, and old boots? These questions were too much for Geojge Adolpb.ns. In less than a week he found himself in a perfect fever of mental' excitement. He felt that he was growing rapidly worse. It did seem as if he could not get that hair-pin near enough to his heart. He thought of swallowing it, but changed his mind and had it made into a bosom-pin. In another week the malady had obtained so complete a mastery oyer him that he began to write poetry. He could not eyen think in prose, and when he read a newspaper the lines seemed to com mence with capital letters and end with a jingle. Thus the weeks passed wearily by without bringing him the slightest in telligence of the owner of the golden hair-pin. VIII. In a brilliantly lighted ball room in Couponville, gayest of the gay, and ad mired of all admirers, Maud Muller promenaded to and fro like a fairy queen. Her wretchedness had departed with old Mr. Muggleton, but she had not forgotten the night when a stranger had rescued her from self-destruction and she secretly longed to know who it was that had saved her from herself. She closely scanned every gentleman that entered the room, as if in half frightened expectancy. She had heard of Mr. CTarendon, the young million aire, but as he had not appeared much in society, she had not met him. Of course she was not curious, for she was a woman, and women afe not curious; yet 'she could not feel easy after learn ing that Mr. Muggleton'sheir was pres ent, till Bhe had signified .her willing ness to have him presented. ' As George Adolphus advanced arm in arm with an acquaintance, a percep tible pallor overspread Maud's counte nance. Was it caused by the peculiar pin that ornamented his shirt bosom ? She tried to conyince herself that the pin signified nothing. Perhaps he had picked up the. hair-pin in the street on that eventful evening she so well re membered. But when she heard his voice she withered like a stricken flow- s-m a W 1 er. ueorge Aaoipnus was puzziea. co- were all the by-standers. It was a very singular case, indeed, they all said. Presently, however, Maud rallied, as she and George Adolphus were left alone. "Do you remember me ?" she asked, falteringly. "Do you remember having seen me before ?" Suddenly the truth flashed upon George Adolphus like a national con vention bulletin. "Yes," be replied, making an effort to control himself,'! remember a form er meeting with you very well." "I think pa would give his consent;, said Maud, very timidly. "But you are . not going to try it again ?" said George Adolphus in sur prise. "0, dear no I" exclaimed Maud. "I don't mean that. I think papa would give his consent to that as I don't think he'd object." "Object to what?" asked George Adolphus, blandly. "O, dearl" exclaimed Maud. : "Do you mean to say,? continued Georee - Adolphus. "that you don't think the old man would object to your trvintr it again, after the water is let on?" "No," said Maud. "I don't mean that, for he is very fond of me, and I j am lure ho would bo very glad to en courage so worthy a jbhat is O, what am I saying ?"( Then George Adolphua began to see how the land lay; but as a ball room is nqt a favorable place for a tableau, he mastered his impulse tjo catch Maud in his arms and merely observed in a whis- per that she was a gem of the first wa- ter, and that he would give his consent too. Old Muller sat in night, when Mand and Lis library that Adolphus enter ed the house, and tbej young man was soon prostrate at his feet, clasping him tightly about the legs and imploring his permission to marry his daughter. j" Ahem I" remarked Muller. George Adolphus thought this rather meaningless remark was a favorable in duction, and so squeezed the old man's legs harder than before;. j "Come, young man, f' said Mr. Mul ler, "you are filling my slippers with tears. Rise up and let go my legs." "Oh, do 'you give jyour consent?" sobbed George Adolphus. j "Consent I" roared the old banker, heayens and earth ! jOf course I do. Here, Maud, take this lunatic away and get tne a dry pair of socks." ' And they were Lapp jj ever afterward. Grants ; Ill-Treatment of Han- cock- It is well-known that General ITan cock has not been on'g)od terms with a few officers of advanced! rank who dom inated in military circles since the end of the war. And it is equally j well known that General Hancock's dissatis faction at his treatment at thcands of General Grant was based upon good and hufficient grounds.! The former's broad-gauffe, statesman-like adminis tration of affairs in Louisiana was in such sharp contrast with the arbitrary course of General Sheridan that Grant felt for his favorite, who was his lmita- I tor as well, and was led to give an un justified rebuke to, Hancock. Spirited men like Hancock, whether theyj may be soldiers or civilians! do not conceal honest resentment, and therefore Grant was made to know very soon the anger he had kindled. Thisj ill-feeling was in existence at the timet of the death of General Thomas, which event left four major generals in the service. Halleck had served out a term of jduty and Meade preferred to remain in Philadelphia, so that the succession to the command of the Department of thejPacifio was be tween Hancock, the senior, and Scho field, the junior major general. Accord ing to precedent Grant should have sent Hancock to the Pacific,! but remember ing the Louisiana episode, he preferred Schofield. ' General Hancock always regarded this act as a degradation of rank, caused by spite. In April, 1870, General Sherman wrote to Hancock : The President' authorizes me to say to you that it belongs tc his office to se lect the commanding generals of divis ions and departments, and that the re lations you chose to assume towards him officially and privately absolve him from regarding your personal preferences. In reply General Hancock wrote : , The rule - that would! place a junior major-general in a higher grade of com mand than a senior major-general, in time of peace, or which gave all the major-generals save one (and he not a junior) divisions and that senior major- general a department with brigadier generals and colonels, and not allow him a choice of a department in his own division, is certainly a jiolation of the principle upon which rank is establish ed,' as well as thecustoms of military service in all countries governed by law, and would equally sanction that the lieutenant-genera, wliojnow commands a division, might be placed in command of a department, while some one or all of the major-generals had divisions. As the President Heads me j to believe that because I have not li is personal sym pathy, my preferences for command will not be regarded, notwithstanding my rank, I shall not again open this subject.

Edwin was one day looking at a very large building which they were putting up opposite to his . father's house. lie watched the workmen, from day to day, as they carried up brick and mortar, and then placed them in their proper order. His father said to him : ' j "Edwin, you seem to be very much taken up with the bricklayers; pray. what might you be thinking about ? Have you any notion of learning the trade?" ; ' t N,"-etdl -EJwin;miling7JIhi4 t was thinking what a little thing a ' brick is. and! yet that great house is built by laying one brick upon another." "Very true), my boy ; never forget it. Just so it is with all great works. All your learning is one little lesson added to another. If a man could walk al around the world, it would be by put ting one foot I before the other. Your whole life will be made up of one little moment after; another. Drop added to drop makes the ocean.' Learn from this not to decpise little things. Learn, also, not to be discour aged by great labor. The greatest la bor becomes easy if divided into parts. You could not jump over a mountain, but step bysitep takes you to the other side. Do not; fear therefore, to attempt great things.! Always remember that the whole of the great building is only one brick upon another. Adam and Eve. As our first parents were leaving the garden; Adam remark ed, fumbling with the button of his fig leaf abstractedly .: "I don't care about myself, darlijng ; but when I think how much you have lost, my heart fails me." And Eve, the unselfish creature, look ed into his eyes with loving gaze, say- ing carelessly; but sweetly, "Oh, I don't care, Adam." ; And this little speech of our common mother has lived through all the ages down to the pres- ' ent, though, curiously enough, it is nn AnnrnnrfatAd nlmrtat ovftBiirol rur the sterner sex. When a man would express most appropriately the supreme indifference that tranquilizeshis bosom, he uses the iselfsame language that the gentle Eve used so happily; except that by one of the unaccountable changes that time is ever making in things sub lunary, the accent of the last word haa been transferred from the first to the last syllable.1 No' candidates die, and none but General Gordon resign. , , Barnum claims to have the biggest tent. How about the national canvass ? . Blaine hesitates whether to Wave Whittaker's bloody ear this campaign or his own black eye. Pat away oar Jimmy's bureau, It will keep for four years more; Mark "Waxed by Grant in 80," Fetch ii out in '84. There are now 1,111 employees at work in the Elgin (til.) watch factory. They must be doing a 1-dcrful business all at l's. The idea that fruit eaten at night is deleterious is proved by the bad effect it bad upon Adam from eating an apple after Eve. - The reason men dou't follow the ex- ample of women and stop to look into the show windows of millinery stores is because such windows don't contain fancy pipes and the portraits of burles que actresses. ".!. "Whispering in a sleeper's car often' produces a dream,' says an English physician. "The man who whispers 'mince pie' in our ears when we arc asleep." says the St. Louis Glube-Dim,' ocrat, "will get hurt when we get up.' If we could only keep politics out of religion and religion out of politics, and hypocrisy out of both; "we would havo an admirable world to live in. It is the unnatural mixture o these three fiery elements that makes countless mil lions mourn. A little boy, 4 years old, having of ten been told it was wrong tdTask for . anything at the table, was down at des sert. After patiently waiting for some time without being noticed, lie exclaim -ed : "Mantma, please may I have an orange if I don't ask for it?" "YeS, dear," was the reply. But, after a con siderable interval, the litt.lo fellow not getting his ran go again addressod'liis mother with: "Please, mamma, I'm not asking for an orange." This time I ho was duly rewarded.
