BY AMY RANDOLPH. igipT WAS a clear, frosty Febru-Sf--fi ary morning, the sun glisten W& on a mant,e of newly falN en snow, the wind whistling merrily around the 8treel-cornei9, and Flora Trefoil made haste to button her well worn jacket and fasten on her black felt hat with the gold-green cock's plume. 'How I do hate to work," mur mured she, with a pout ot her rose red hps. "How I wish I were rich, like that swarthy'omplexioned lit tie Cuban heiress, who orders such lots ot dresses of Madame ! I say, Bess,' to the pale cousin, who was helping Mr. Trefoil to clear away the dishes, "do make haste. Do you want to be fined for being late?" I shall not be late,'' said Bess. "I can walk very fast when once we are out. But Aunty Nan has a headache this morning, and I can't leave her with all this to do !" 'Aunty Nan is always having headaches," said Flora. "I say, Bess, if we go on that big sleighiride to-night, what shall you wear ? The red merino ! Charley Coteswortb likes red 1 He said so, last week." '1 don't know," said Bess, color ing a little. "Aunty Nan, I'll biiug up some buns for tea, and a pound of crackers. I'm ready now, Flora.'' At Madame Enrico's place, times were unusually busy. Several bril liant balls were to take place just before Lent,and Madame's customers were people who seemed to believe that nothing in the dressmaking line was impossible. Flora and Bess Trefoil were among her best hands ;aud, just as the little errand girl was lighting up the rooms, the fat Frenchwoman waddled hurried" ly in where Flora sat. "Miss Trefoil," said she, "here is an order fiom Mrs. Goldcoin. She wants an olivepIush gown by to morrow afternoon, without fail, and if I don't tafce the job, she'll go with it to that odious Miss Main- waring on Union Square. I mn&t get it done. Your cousin is fitting her upstairs now, and you must take the gown home to make.,! "To-night ! Ob," cried Flora, re membering the projected sleigh: ride. "I couldn't, possibly." 'lt must be done,'' said Madame Enrico, knitting her black eyebrows. "In an emergency like this, I expect my young women to help me if they intend to retain their places Of course, 1 shall pay you in pro portion," she added, encouragingly. But I had an engagement " - "Your engagement must wait," said the modiste, authoritatively. "Here is the skirt aud the pattein plate. The bodice will be sent down from the flttiug-room direct ly.'' Fiora could have burst iuto tears, had such grief been of any avail but she was not yet at her wits' end and when the two cousins joined each other at the little side exit where the "hands'1 went out cn their way home, she gave the parcel into Bess's astonished hands. "Here's somathidg that Madame wants you to get. finished by to morrow afternoon, said she, indiffer ently. "She says -you understand Mis. Goldcoin's figure. Ot course, you'll have to work all night, but she's willing to pay you extra V Bess opene-l her dark-gray eyes wide. "I thought the gown was to be given to you,v said she. "Madame Enrico told me " "Oh, no," said Flora, uttering the ready ha without blanching, "its you, this time. And. since you can't go on the sleigh-ride, do you miud my wearing the cherry-colored me-, rino 1 My crushed-raspberry cash mf re is realiy getting too shabby to be decent." Bess was silent. For weeks she had been looking forward to this sleigh-.iide, and in her heart she dearly loved Charles Coteswortb. who was to have been her cavalier. The big tears sparkled into her eyes ; her lower lip quivered. Flora watched her with furtive intentness. ' "It'll suit yon, exactly," said she. l,Yon are such a moneyNworshipiog little miser J" "I am not a miser," retorted Bess, "Bat 1 do like to help Aunty Nan a little, and to pay Cousin Thankful Morse's ward at the Old Ladies' Home." v "One can't support all t he old people in creation," Flora said. "Aunt Nan isn't our real relation, alter all" "But she brought ns up and cared for ns when we were little, Flora. ? "And she don't need half the things you are always getting for her," scornfully added Flora. "You spoil everybody, Bess." Cousin Thankfnl Moree had come over from the Home, by the aid ot a stout crutch, to see the girls start on their sleighing expedition ; she sat by the fire, drinking a cup of tea and munching toast. "La me !' cried she. "Bess not going 1 Aud arter eettin' such a deal o' store by it I Well, I declare, it's too bad." Bess sat quietly down to work at the olive-plush dress with its shim mering draperies of rich olive satin and velvet passementerie trimmings ; while Flora attired herself iu the red merino, and adjusted a new bat picturesquely "trimmed with- fur, that she had borrowed from Mad ame Enrico's head trimmer for the occasion. "Bess has made up her mind not to come," said she, in answer to young Cotesworth's eager inquiry. "She had a chance to do a little extra sewiog for extra pay, and dear Bess is dreadfully fond of money for one so young. Quite a miser, you know." And Flora's laugh lang out sweet and clear, above the jiu gle of the sleigh-bells, It was long past midnight when the gay party returned, but Bess still sat sewing at the machiue. She listened, with a pale, set face, to Flora's exaggerated description of 'the delightful time they had had.' "I'd help you, Bess, if 1 wasn't so awfully tired," said Flora, with a yawn. "Are you nearly through ?" Bess smiled. Did Flora dream, she thought, how tired she was? And there were yet four or five hours' work ou the gowb. "Oh," casually added Flora, "I forgot to tell you that I stepped on the skirt of the red meiiuo dress, getting iuto the sleigh to come home aud tore it iuto libbons. Bat it was an old thing, anyway. You couldn't have got much more wear out of i-. And Charlie was so nice." "Was he? Didn't he ask where was?" Flora shook her head. Where was the me.&he thought, of eucour. aging Bess to think too much of tbe handsome young steam. fitter, whom she, Flora, bad fully determined to make her own pi ey ? "I'm so tired of this everlastiug dress-makiug'eaid Flora to herself. "And Charles Coteswortb would be a husband for any girl to be proud of." Cousiu Thankful Morse sat iu her little room at the Old Ladies' Home, the next day, when the matron brought the steamsfitter's foremau to look at tbe flawed radiator-pipes under the window; She kuew him at once. 'Why, it's Mr. Coteswortb, ain't it ?" said she, peering over tbe rims of her silver spectacles. "Wll, I do declare ! Why, Bess Trefoil was just here. She come to bring me a oew fur tippet and muff; I couldn't 'a' gone to church next Sunday with tbe old I5 nx set, so badly eaten with nioth. She set np all night to fiu ish a job for the 'dressmaker ; it was cue, too, that Fiora ought to Lev' done, bur frhe somehow contrived to push it off ou to Bess Flora al lays was a selfish creetur and Bess jest spent the money for me and her aunt Nau ! Besa is allays thinking of other people. It's Bess as pays my board here, Mr. Cotesworth," added the loquacious old lady, as Charlie bent to examine the ioints of tbe steam pipes. "I'd be on the townd ef it wasn't for her. Flora wouldn't care nothin' ef I was. She thinks old folks hain't no business to exist. Poor Bess! I was dreadful sorry for her last night ; she wanN ed to go on that sleigh-ride awful bad ! But she kuowed ef she lost the place at Madame What's-her-name's, there wouldn't be no rent paid nor clothes bought for Mrs. Trefoil !" Charles Cotesworth straightened himself up. "She really wanted to go, then !'' said he. "Flora told me" Cousin Thankful wagged her head of stiff little gray curls. "You can't put no dependence on what Flora Trefoil says," declared she. "She's allays a-tryin' to put other people in the background. I jest wish you could V seeu Bess cry in' over her work, arter you'd all gone away and left her last night !:' "Do you think," said Cotesworth, seizing his monstrous nippers as if with fatal intent, "she would ba at home if I wero to call to-night V1 Cousin Thankful looked won-, drously sage. "Ef I was you, Charlie," saia she, "I'd go to the dressmaker's place and sort o' calculate to walk home with her. Or else, like's not, you'll find yourself caught in some of Flo ra's tricks and traps. I bain t no confidence in Flora !" Mr. Cotesworth availed himself of the old woman's hint. When Bess Trefoil came out of Madame Enrico's little eide-door lhat evening, into the dark street, where the gas lamps blurred feebly against the driviug mist which was fast effacing the purity of the snow, Charlie's um brella was waiting for her. "Mr. Coteawoithl" she cried, with a little start. "You are not sorry to see me, Bess?'' "No ; hut but " "Bessie, I didu't half enjoy the sleigh"iide last night without ycu." Her face shone radiant under the row of theatre-lamps which they were just passing. "Really ?'' (It seemed sueh a silly thing to say, but what else was there for her ?) They were in a darK place now ; he drew her arm in his. "We can walk better under one umbrella so," said he. "I wonder, Bess, what you would say if I were to ask you to walk through all tbe years of life at my side.-' "I thiuk," murmured Bess, "I should say yes.'1 Flora Trefoil was amazed beyond measure when she found that quiet, pale Bess had been Charles Cotes worth's choice in spite of her own more showy faaciuations. But Cous in Thankful chuckled to herself, in the little corner room of the Old Lad i es' Home : "She deserves her happiness, ev ery bit of it,'' said Cousin Thankful, "and I'm proper glad that Flora has got come up with.'' Madame Enrico gave the wedding dress she had not forgotten the patience and sweetness of her best "titter" and tbe hands all joined and made it up after a wonderful new. pattern m that Mrs. Goldcoin's eldest daughter had brought from Paris. "Nothing can be . too good for Bess," they all said j and Flora shrugged her shoulders. "It's so ridiculous," said she, "to make such a fuss about a pale, in significant, thing like Bes-."

The 3ud deu death of Secretary of the Treas ury Windom, while at the dinner of the Board of Trade and Transporta tion at Delmonico'a tonight. caused immediate adjournment of that body a few minutes after 10 o'clock. The Secretary was the first speaker of the evening. The dinner which began at. 6 o'clock was completed shortly after 9 o'clock, and the Sectetary arose to speak. He entertained the diners with an elaborate oration, and sat down amidst the loud applause of bis auditors. Judge Arnaux then got up, aud was in the midst of his speech introducing exsSecretary Bayani, w hen some one cried, 'Look at Secretary Windoin !' The speech was broken short and every eye was turned in tbe direct tion of tb at geu'leniau. He had collapsed in bis chair aud was filN iog to the floor. His face was ghostly and a cry of horror arose among the late festive revellers. Tbere was an immediate rush ou the part of all hands toward Mr. Windom's chair, but several doctors who were guests at the dinner, got there first and drove the others back. They were Drs. 8. A. Rob inson, Durant, Whituey, Fisher and Bishop. Dr. Robinson bent down aud making a close examination of the prostrate form, discovered that tbe heart was still beating, by his orders the dying Senator was carried into the dish room adjoining the ban quettiug hall, and there placed on a table. Messengers were hastily despatch-J ed for electric batteries, and as many aa four were applied to his body which was rapidly growing cold. This was exactly at 10:05 p m. aud for six minutes the electric shocks were applied incessantly but without success. At 10:11 p.m. Judge Arnaux came out of the dih room and announced to the diners that Secretary Win dom whom they bad the pleasure ot hearing only a few minutes ago had breathed his !as "He is dead." This was tbe fearful announcement sent through the gaily decorated banquet hall, around which still hung like a funeral pall the smoke of the after diuuer cigars. "He is dead." . The words went, to the heart of every man who heard them. Could they believe it? The bril liant orator of a few minutes bytore aglow with enthusiasm, predicting his future policy in the Treasury Department was only a mass of clay. DO HOT SUFFErlANY LONGFR.

Dr. J M Lawing, Druggist TUat Macune Letter. Washington, Jan., 24. The federation people met agaiu to-day and all the notables, Powderly, Liv ingston, Macune aud other?, were prpseut. The meeting was a secret one. McClamy of North Carolina, and Mississippi Alliance members of the house, were among the audience. Livingston and Macune made a startling discovery thi-j morning. The editor of tin JLansai Alliance oran. enclosed them a lette writi ten by Rittt-n house, Colornel Polk's former secretary, acknowledging that he wrote tn letter published in the St. Loui Globe-Democrat charging that Livii'gstou and Ma enne were breking Calhoun for en ator tor a moncntarv consideration. It will b recalled that this pub lication came near cau-iug a rupture in the Oc.iU convention, and that it did subject Macune and Livingston to an investigation. The letter publi-hed iu St. Louis was written here, but ve dated at ! Atlanta. It eems that iu his auxi- ety to down Macune & Co, he clip ped the letter from the Globe-Dem iocrat aud euclosed it to the Kansas paper for reproduction, acknowN edtTiDt: he was it uurher. Among th o?her expressions ho suggested t h it Christ had his Judas and the Alliance had its Macune. There was man-fes-l excitement iu the Economist this morning when this letter was read.

Peffor was nominated and rt ceived 93 votes for Senator in both houses of the Legislature yesterday. The joint convention to-day voted as follows : Peffer, 101 ; Ingalli, 63; Blair, 3 ; Battern, 1 , Merrill, 1 ; Kelly, 1. It is glory enough. Ingalls Is retired to the shades of private lift. His political success is now like an "irridesceut dream," and time and opportunity are given him to atudj ''the decalogue and the Ten Com mandments'' Judge leiTei' Career. Petfers is a man of education and ability, with an irreproachable pr sonal character, though not as much a scholar as a man of affairs. He was born in l'enusylvaula sixty years ago, and the foundation of his education was laid iu the coun try school houses of that State. In 1869 he was married aud mov ed to Indiaua, setting on a farm iu St. Joseph county. In 1850 he again moved to Mor gan county, Missouri, aud there distinguished himself by his utter ances in favor of the maintainance of tbe Union. In 1862 be was once more compelled by circumstance! to make a chauge ot base, and moved to Warren couuty, lllinoii, form whence he enlisted in the Fedi eral army, in Aug. of that year en tering as a private, and discharged iu 18C5 as a second lieutenant, after the war he settled down iu Claiks rille, Tennessee, aud engaged in the practice ef law, acquiring some local reputation bo his proposition to move ' lirowlem's radicalism. After four years of unsuccessful struggle to help the differences oc casioned by the war, be - va- c m polled to leave Tenutsaee, -,u J iu 1870 moved to-Kaua", locatiu.! i-u a claim ot government laud iu VV 1 1 . sou county, engaging iu fa rung and the practice of law. In 1847 he was elected ti the State Seuate as a Kepublicau. In 1885 he removed to Coffey ville, an adjoining county, but iu the same congressional district, where he established the Journal and cont ducted it as a Kepublicau newspa per. In 1880 he was a Presidential el ector on the Kepublicau ticket, aud in 18S1 was appointed editor ot the Kausas Farmer aud moved to To peka. He then abandoned party and politics and devoted himself to the study of economic questions, but when tho new movement first showed signs of life he immediately stepped to the front aa a leader, and by his speeches, aud writing, did more than any man in the Stite to bring about the' political revolution ot last November. During the campaign he was a declared caudidate for the position to which he has been nominated by his party and Judge Peffer has al ways taken a great interest iu ag riculrural matters, and is tborougbs, ly educated in the bucolic sciencd in politics.
