LA MOUT D'ABIOUR.
When was It that love died ? Wo wore so fond,
- No very fond a lit Mo while ago.
"With leaping putties aud Mood all aglow,
We dreamed about a fairer life beyond, :
When we nhbulrt dwell together as one heart.
And Bcnrce ciiuld wait that bnppy time to
come. ' - .
' Now, side by Bide we sit, with Hps quite
dumb, - " ' . . .
And feel ourselves a thousand miles apart.
How was it thnt love died? I do not know
. I only know thnt all its grace untold .
' Has faded into (fray. I miss the gold
From our dull skies, but did not Bee it go. ; '
Why should love die? We. prized It, I am
nurej .- "
We thought of nothing else when it waa
ouis; . . , . ,
We cherished it in smiting sunlit bowers:
It was our all; why could it not endure? -
Atast wb know not how, or whtin, or why
. ,Thlslear thing died. We only know it went,
' And left us dull, cold, and indifferent
We who found heaven in each other's sigh.
How pitiful it is, and yet how true,
That half the loyurs in the world one day
Look questioning in each other's eyes this
-, way,
And know love's gone forever, as we dot
Sometimes I can not help but think, dear
heart, '
As I look out o'er all the wide, sad earth.
And see love's flame gone out on many a
' ' . : hearth, . . '
That those who would keep love must dwell
. apart.

THE WOltK OF A SLUG.
BY DOUGLAS SLADEK. : -v
Dr. Dexter, a most respectable citizen
of New York, a .bachelor, but none tha
worse 4 or that, had been ' keeping watch
night at his club the night that 1890 died.
- Frozen slush lay thick oa the ground and
. a gang of Italians were engaged in re
moving it from that eminently respect
able street. West 42 J. as he 'made his wav

leaving a layer of snow water. Then'

glass. As the jolly youug doctor strodo
along ho waa too Anglomaniab to wear
rubbers, and though by no means drunk
felt as if ho had drunk well he suddenly
clipped and, falling on the back of tea

lie walked up to the body. ' The stunned :
man's coat collar was unbuttoned, show

pearl a perfect heart in his tie. a r;
"What, Jim, old fellow,, is that you?":
called out tho List comer, and picking
him up tenderly, carrkfd him to the door
from which lie had emerged, waving o2f
the kfclp proffered by the Italians. - He :
pulled out his latchkey, opened the door
carefully, and lifted in the man addressed
as Jim. -
. . . Once inside, between the street door
and the glass door, there was a terriblo
change. The pretensa friend pulled out;
, his dark lantern and revealed, lying in ft "
corner, a man killed by a blow from one 1
of those short, flexible, loaded clubs,
unown as lire preservers. ; v "

the car. Not many minutes before, com
ing back from ushering in the new year ,
at the Players', he had felt so flushed that :
he had left , his overcoat open and his :
gloves off, revealing his magnificent dia
monds, two in his shirt front and ono oil
his little finger. A gentlemanly looking
man had been waiting outside the Club.
He followed the happy reveller, and, -wearing,
rubbers, his footsteps made no
pound as ho shadowed his intended victim
right up to his own front doorsteps.
Had the man turned, . Ids pursuer with
a gontlemanly appearance and an unlit
cigarette in his mouth would have asked
for a light. He did not, and from the
time he took in opening the outer latch
was evidently none too clear headed. As
he stepped between the two doors tho
thug slipped in beside him . without a
eound. lie closed the outer door behind ;
him, never dreaming of looking if he were
alone, and stooped to fumble at the in-'
ncr latch." - , .
The thug had anticipated how he would
ntand, and Hashing the electric dark lan
tern which ho held in the hollow of his
left hand, stiuck him with the life pre
server he held in his right a tremendous
blow behind tho ear which killed him
outright. ' Then swiftly ' removing bi3 ,
watch and chain and the fatally magnifi
cent diamonds from hi3 shirt front and
linger, he slipped a hand into his breast
pocket for tho pocketbuok. It held $400
or $.100. Ho emptied it and' threw it
down, and with habitual provision for
Bccident3 picked up the latchkey.
Being ready for the emergency, fortune
favored him. . L
' sooner was he outside the door than
he ... Dr. Dexter fall and lie stunned..
A Cash of genius illuminated him. Pre
tending to be a friend he carried the doc
tor up to the house in which lie had com
mitted the murder and readmitted him
self with the latchkey which he. had so
providentially taken. No one was likely
to di-sturb him. It was between 2 and 3 '

Stranger bo providentially stunned. ..
" He saw at a glance that, the doctor
would not come to for hours. He had
seen so many men stunned by the sand
bag or the life preserver that he knew
more about the period of recovery than,
most hospital surgeons. .
' First he pulled out thS doctorpockefc
book, containing five $10 notes and
about $20 in smaller denominations.
These latter he put into thedead man's
pocketbook and slipped bottf books into
tl.e doctor's pocket. Then he emptied
. the silver from both men's pockets and
put some of it into one of the doctor's
outside coat pockets. With it he. thrust
the dead man's watch and chain, car
rying, oif the doctor's own, a good deal
the more valuable of the 'two. The
broken pin ' he did not touch. " The king ,.
. of the thugs liad a soul above remnants.
Then he 'seized the prostrate doctor by
the throat and shook him by the collar
, till it gave way, then he flung him back
;ward with all his might into the op
posite corner from the corpse. " He did
not care if it killed him. Another life
was nothing to him.. Then he took out
Ids life preserver and striking his deal
victim, who had fallen on his back, a
terrific blow on tho forehead, tossed the
weapon down carelessly, between the
two men.
- His work was done. No one had ob
served the frequent flashes of that tiny
electric dark lantern, which fitted into
the hollow of his hand. He opened tho
door, walked coolly down the steps and
up the street eastward until he was lost
in the darkness. The policeman on the
street was cold and had gone . in some
where to warm himself. Not a soul
' noticed him -except tho Italians. -To
them he said that he was going-for a J
. doctor. They couid not understand him
; and were content that lie did not ask
them for tho pearl which one of them
had picked up, as it lay glistening, visi
ble yards off, ou the glare ice of tha
. sidewalk, and of which they were to
, share the proceeds. . ' .
' AY hen the maid servant opened tho in
n ner door of the fatal house next morning,
with a shriek of horror she ran to tell her
mistress that there was a murdered man
lying between the two. doors, and an
other, who was dying, faintly calling for
' help. ..'.,
The police were sent for and the two
bodies taken to the police station, when
the place -had been carefully searched.
- Tho caso against' the doctor was oiily too
r clear. The watch thrust, hurriedly into
his coat pocket was the murdered man's ;
so was Jhe pocketbook containing the $20.
The landlady could identify these. His
own pocketbook contained nothing. Plum,
pr was tne motive. Besides there were
- the marks of the struggle. Ills bruised
! neck, torn clothing, and the cut on thg
back of his head (which had stunned him
.: when he fell in the street) showed how
desperately the victim had struggled
against the irresistible odds of the life
preserver. ' ' . :
The doctor was committed, as soon as
, he should have sufficiently recovered to
.leave the hospital, for willful murder? ; .
It was "in vain 1 that his club friends,
when he communicated with them, pro
tested that his position was such as to
make a murder for robbery impossible..
He must take his trial.
- He had one good friend who was not a
good man. .
. This friend, named O'Brien, persuaded
him to employ a rascally lawyer, said to
be of great ability, but better known as
"a man with a pull. " ' , . .
Mr O'Brien's sagacity proved itself
With the. judge the "pull" might have
beenf no avail. With the police it was
too great to be disregarded. For once
they really gave him all the help in their
power. . Through them, much as they
would have liked the credit of a convic
tion, he discovered that the deadly blow
which struck tho victim down " from be
hind was not struck by the doctor. For.
the victim could not liave hurled his as
sailant back and stunned hun after re
ceiving such a blow, and it stood to
reason that a man who was so stunned as
to be barely recovering five or six hours
after the victim, from his appearance,
must have been dead, could not have
dealt such a blow while' in that state.
Then a minute surgical examination
showed that there was nothing in the
wall between the two doors which could
- have caused such a cut as that on tho
doctor's head, which had been made by a
atone imbedded in the glare ice he had
slipped upon, and further that it would
have been next to impossible for him to
have received a blow on that . part of the
head at all by falling against a vertical
wall. A broken neck or a cut nearly on
the top of the head would have replaced
the cut at tho back of the head.
But the .crowning piece of evidence ,
came from tho arrest of an Italian who
was endravoring toiiifpose of a magnifi
cent heart ehaxi pearl which the polico
accused him of stealing, but which he
. periled, when, the interpreter arrived,

broken pin had, of course, been carefully
saved. The pearl fitted exactly in tho

been hollowed or molded to fit the gem.
The identity was beyond doubt, "
' The Italian thought the doctor was
dead before he was carried into the house.
So "did his fellow dagoes when they were
summoned. . -
Affer thia, for a clever lawyer "with a
pull, it was child's play to prove what
must have happened and had actually
happened ... ' .

Newi and Observer.
Senator Pcffer has started' on his South,
ern tour. lie comes South for the purpose
of 'advocating the formation of a third party
Be hopes to convince Alliance men of the
bouthern States that they should separate
from- their Democratic) friends, and join,
what he is pleased to call, the ''peoples
party." . It will bo reoiembered that thia
was the name given by the late Cincinnati
Convention to the party represented by
Peffer, a convention, the legality of which,
was not recognize by the bouthern AUiauce
at all. This is a fact that did sot escape
the attention of PefTer, and seeing that the
Southern Alliance men have made up their
minds to vote, as heretofore, with toe Dem
ooratie party, he plana a speaking tour
through the South la order, if possible, to
change then. In a published interview be
sua. that if the formation of a third party
iu the South should give the negro. . or the
Kepublican party the ascendancy there, it
was a matter about which, ho could not con
cern tunisenvv we count u the wuite peo
ple of the South, will care to receive instruc
tions of any kind t from such a political
missionary. Tbey will not care to know
the views even of a man who is not willing
to recognize their supremacy in the South
of of paramount importance, - essential to
their material prosperity and demanded by
their proud race heritage. If negro or Re
publican rule in the South sous him as well;
if he is indifferent as to whether the South.
era States are govereued by white or black
men, then we are very much mistaken, if
Peffer does not return to his hotto in . Kan
sas a wiser, and not a success! at man. And
after the Senator expressed each indifference
about the " government of the Southern
States, it would be interesting x know who
invited him to the 'toath. Who asked this
man, with his views of the Southern white
people, aud his indifference to .their most
sacred interest, to come among . them for
the purpose of. speaking to them on the
great Issues oj the day f An apology for
his absence from North Carolina has beeu
made, and we now understand he goes first
to Peorgia, but the Alliance Governor of
that State has only recently made, a publio
declaration of hostility to Peffer's plans and
schemes. -
Has he been Invited to Georgia, the
great Empire State of the South, by some
one who was once strong la the Alliance,
but whose influence is fast waning, who is
losing the confidence of the order, aud
hopes to save himself from merited obliv.
Ion by disorganizing the Democratic party ?
There are such men, bat they are being
found oat and located by , the farmers of
the South, men among whom the demagog,
ue has never been able to thrive. Should
the visit be extended to South Carolina,
there the Senator will find another Alliance
Governor opposing his dangerous theories,
and when he crosses over into Tennessee,
be will find no comforter iu Mr. Bachauan,
another Alliance Governor. Thas it is, the
substantial men of the Alliance are begin
ning to see that the interest of the .farmer
is not to be advanced b promoting the
ambitious schemes of the mere demagogue
or political orator, and that real and per
mauent benefits can only coma by a strict
aihearence to the Democratic doctrine of
equal laws for all and special privileges to
none. , , ,

stract proposition, an invasion of the liberty
of the press and an intringement of personal
rights. . . ..
Theoretically, if Congress may deny the
use of tho mails to newspapers containing
lottery advertisements, it may with; equal
propriety take similar action in the case of
liquor advertisements, pNjing card adver
tisements or any ether which the party ia
the majority at the moment may choose to
regard as immoral and pernicious. There
is, indeed, no end to the mischief and op
pression to which such a principle, once
established, may not lead. It it bat natu
ral, therefore, that the Constitution should
repudiate it in a general way, and that it
should ba destitute of support in precedent.
We can reaiilv see that the Attorney Gm
end's office may have found it impossible to
defend the law oa any bat moral, and. to a
certain extent, sentimental grounds. As
we see it, the question is not whether the
Government caa find any defease ia laws
already existent, but whether the Supremo
Court will, in view of the gravity, of the.
case, originate a law to lit this particular
mergancy. The strictures on Mr. Maury
strike as us unjust. He has no case, and ho
virtually confesses as much. What his
brief is that the Supreme Court should
make a ease for him.
