she said, "has

this way? I did not think gentlemen,"
and she emphasized the term, "drank at
this early hour."
Stung by her sarcasm, Dudley slanqied
his foot on the floor, and muttered be-tween
his teeth, what, hut for her pre-
-i in ... would have U-en an audible oath.
The l.ady Isabel hail scarcelv sisikcn,
however, when she repented of her
words, and now, to leans their severity,
said:
"Hut. seriously, Dudley, what is the
matter with you? llelieve me you
have no cause to lie angry with any of
us "
Her lover did not sullcr her to proceed,
but impatiently interrupted her, exclaim-ing
haughtily:
"I said not, fair lady, that I had a right
to lie offended. The heiress of Dudley
Mall owes no explanation to no man for
any whim she may take, for the world
absolves one so rich, beautiful, and
t "and one courte^ from the eommon duty ol caring
lerneiaon '"r ""'ers' feelings." He spoke sarcasti-cally,
anil continued: "She may encour-age
to day, and rebuff to-morrow, yet the
sufferer has no right to complain. Oh. no?
Mie vi ill lell him there is no reason in his
anger, and the world will sustain her in
what she asserts "
Howard Dudley waited a moment for
her to reply, but hndiiig she made no an-swer,
he continued, with increasing irri
tation:
"There is one. at least, proud lady, who
will not be longer made the plaything of
a coquette's whim. There is one who is
already ashamed of the U.v's part be has
played, and who has resolved no longer
to dance attendance where he furnishes
only a laughing-stock,"and he drew him-self
proudly up as he spoke, adding, "he
once fondly believed that hearts were
more valuable than gold or rank—nay, he
sometimes hoped that the Lady Isaliel
thought like him, but the dream is dis-sipated,
and as he has neither an earldom
to offer her, nor will stoop to win one by
becoming a monarch's laquey, he will
take his larewell forever."
There was much in this haughty speech
to offend the Lady Isaliel, but much also
to appeal to her heart. For a moineut
there rose a struggle in her bosom ha-twi
cu two oii|«ising sentiments A sinele
Kimt l.sik from Dudley would have turned
the scale in his favor. In fact she glanced
up. in hope to see some signs of relenting,
but receiving only a haughty ga/e, she
colored with offended dignity.
"As lie pleases, sir." she answered.
"You talk hyputhetically, as if of some
one else; but hi it lie as you please also."
and she bowed coldly.
This disdain completed the madness
ami despair of Dudley. Giving his cousin
a Withering look and mutleriug the word
"Heartless!" he turned rapidly away aud
rushed down the corridor.
Tin l.ady Isaliel saw him depart thus
with mingled emotions. In her secret
heart sin- loved her gallant, accomplished
ami handsome cousin better, a thousand
linns, than she had ever yet been willing
to confes-, even to herself. His compaia-from
your own august | live poverty had never presented itselflo
her as any impediment to her marriage,
for she knew that she was heiress in her
own right of enough lor both. Hut, un
fortunately, her cousin had never con-lessed
his interest in her, and the Lady
Isabel, aware that looks were not always
serious, hesitated what to think Had
Dudley but faauklv offered himself, she
would as frankly have accepted him, but
not knowing the causes of his hesitation.

half inclined, notwithstanding his alien

by vexation at his behavior.
No sooner had the door closed behind
him at the end of the corridor, no sisiner
was she alone, than a change came over
her feelings. She regretted poignantly
her harshness; she feared, from the knowl-edge
ol Dudley's high spirit, she would
never more see him. aud with this
thought, so full of anguish, she became

whispered to her to fly after him in order
to recall him to her side, and she actually
made a few ste|«s in the direction he had
i taken; but the pride of her sex interposed,
i and with ablush at her own weakness.
-he turned aUaii and haughtily sought
her chanila-r. Hut, alas! it was not to
rind peace. The conflict which the cor-ridor
had witnessed was there renewed,
and between tears and regrets and words
of censure on Dudley, she pasaed iheafter-noon.
In closing the disir. which shut him
out from l-ady Iaaliel's sight, Dudley
gave full vent to the feelings of rage
which pride had in her presence partially
concealed under the mask of scorn.
"Haughty!— heartless! —mercenary!"
were some of his expressions: "a weak
worshipper of rank! Oh, Ijtdy Isaliel,
Lady Isaliel, that ever I should think so
meanly of you!' And then, as other feel-ings
crossed his agitated soul, he mut-tered:
"Fool that I have been—she
never loved nil'—I am only another other
victims—niv tortures are a part of her
pleasure, llut, as I am a Dudley," and
h. gnashed bis teeth, "she shall not amuse
herself long with them, for, as soon as the
moon rises, and I can depart without being
seen, I will leave this hated place forever,
nor shall anyone know whither I go.
In this misid Dudley left the hall, and
sought the wooded recesses of the park,
for he cared neither to see nor to converse
with human beings. Wandering gloomily
along he «as suddenly aroused from his
reveries by finding himself in a narrow
path, (ace to face with his rival, the Earl
of Lincoln.

After having, with her
parted from the Iji.lv
' loot of ihe great staircase,
tedly came upon her some
ii an out-of-the way
though perhaps striking contrast of that of Dudley. Helf-sati-
faciion glowed on every lineament of
that round, sensual face. As he bowed to
Dudley there was visible in his smile, in
addition to the ordinary superciliousness
ol his lordship, an evident air of pity,
which chafed the young man Inexpressi-bly.
Accordingly Dudley relumed the
Isiw with a haughty look of defiance,
barely uodding. The nobleman frowned,
bui said nothingsad dsshfd on. Scarcely,
however, had lie made a step before he
-tumbled, in the gathering twilight, over
cor- a root, and unable to recover himself, fell
with all Ins bulky length sprawling U» the

WSSJust in the mood to rejoice at ibis
mishap of his riva!, and gave utterance to
his mirth in a short, mocking laugh, as
the unwieldy nobleman, pulling and very
red in the face, struggled to his feet.
The earl had heard the laugh ol Dud-ley.
Nothing could have augeied him
more. No sooner had he regained his up-right
position than he advanced on the
offender, foaming with rage, his hand on
his sword.
'(Sir," said he, "What do you mean?
Did you dare—dare. I say," he continued,
stuttering with anger, "to laugh at me?"
Dudley, ever since his interview with
the Lady Isaliel, had been wishing for
some one on whom to vent his rage; and
he secretly rejoined at the fortune which
had now presented to him the very person
of all others he would have chosen, and
with prevoking coldness he replied:
"I laugh when I like, my lord; and I
laugh at whom I please. In fact, I dare
laugh e'en at your excellency."
The contemptuous tone in which this
was spoken left the earl no r.s m for re-traction,
even if he had desired it. Hut
though not over fond of sword play, in-deed
even accused in whis|icrs of being a
coward, he was too enraged In think of
anything but punishing his adversary.
lie dropped his cane and drew his rapier
at once.
"Upstart!" said the earl, you shall suffer
for this insolence. I owe you a double
debt. You havj dared lo presume on
(laying certain attentions to my future
bride, the Lady Isabel, for which I would
have punished you long ago if I had not
despised your youth and your mean con-dition.
Hut 1 cast away my scruples.
Draw, sir!"
The earl said this angrily and inipera
lively, for Dudley, instead of unsheathing
when Ihe earl did, had slinsl with folded
arms, smiling scornfully throughout his
harangue.
"Upstart, sayyou?" exclaimed Dudley.
By St, lieorge.,' sir earl, I wonder who is
upstart—I, who trace my lineage lieyond
the Conqueror, or you, whose ancestors,
a century ago, were butchers in Lincoln-shire.
Presumption for me lo aspire to
the Lady Isabel's hand! By the saints! if
i'our muddy blood ever mingles with hers,
, as a Dudley, will disown the name."
So enraged was the earl at these taunts.
I hat, forgetting all honor, he made a |»ss
at his antagonist even before Dudley's
last sentence was completed. The young
man, however, evaded the lunge by leap-ing
aside, and in an instant his own blade
was out, and the swords rattling as they
crossed. The carl, whatever his merits
as a man of courage, was a skillful man
at fence, and. as Dudley soon found, de
cidediy his superior in' this respect. Ii
required nil the youth and agility of ihe
latter, indeed, to place theui on an
equality.
For some time there was no advantage
on either side. At last by a quick thrust
Dudley BnoOBCdsd in wounding the earl in
i he arm. This served to spur the unwieldy
noblemau into an activity lieyond his
years, and the result was. after a few rapid
passes, that the blade of the nobleman re-taliated
on the body of Dudley. The
bl.jod gnshed out in streams. o« tr lite
would sism follow: and the earl believed
his victory secure. Hut he was terribly
mistaken. Uoaded to superhuman power
by the thrust, Dudley returned the pass,
his sword entering the Issly of his antago
nist in turn. Both combatants the next
moment fell lo the earth, while from
Dudley's side a torrent of blood poured
lorth.
Hut the events of the day were not yet
over, for suddenly a shriek ran through
the wood, and immediately the Lady
Isaliel rushed forward. Her presence at
thisop|Mirlune moment is easily explained.
Wearied out by weeping, and fearful that
Dudley would depart without her being
able lo see him. she had summoned her
maid and walked out into the park, partly
to recover her spirits and partly in the
hope of meeting her cousin. Atadistance
she bad caught sight of Dudley, and idler
some hesitation,conquering her pride,had
made a circuit, with the intention lo en-counter
him. But, ere she reached the
jsiint where she expected, at a cross -path,
to meet him, she heard loud voices in al-tercation,
one of which she recognized as
his; and immediately after the rattling of
swords. With pale cheeks and trembling
steps she had hurried forward, arriving,
as wc have seen, at the place of Conflict
just as Dudley sank, apparently dying,
lo the earth.
At that terrible sight, all feelings of
anger, as well as everything like maid-enly
reserve, Bad from her. and the heart
spoke in its own natural language. She
Hung herself on her knees by the IMKIV of
her cousin, kissing the insensible cheek, as
she exclaimed, "Oh! Dudley! Dudley. I
have murdered you—I see it all—you
fought because in my pique I made you
jealous—and now. now you are dead.
The maid, who had by this time reached
the s|sit, interrupted these passionate ad-jurations.
"Heaven preserve us, my lady!—don't
goon so," she said. "Perhaps he is not
.lead, after all, but only sorely wounded.
Let us take our kerchief and stanch the
wound."
It seemed as it the words had suddenly
transformed the Lady Isabel from the
weak and lamenting woman to one cour-ageous,
and ready to act wisely as well as
promptly.
"You say well." she replied. Let us
ho|>e—sec he breathes! Bun and fetch
some water—there is a spring, you know,
just beyond that ancient oak. I will seek
his wound and stanch the flow of blood,
for which leave me your kerchief before
you go."
And kneeling down as the maiil hur-ried
away, the proud and beautiful heiress
began amid fast falling tears, to search
for the wound.
While thus engaged the Lady Isabel
was unconscious that the earl, of whom
she had never once thought, had raised
himself on his ellsiw where he fell, and
aftel looking around, as if to collect the
facts, which had fled frem his scattered
senses, suddenly bethought himself of the
wound he had received. He clapped his
hand to his side; but, to his astonishment,
there flowed no blood. He stared at the
place where the wound ought to lie, and
seeing only a hole in his doublet, felt his
huge paunch to see if it was all right.
He then, as if still doubting, rose to his
feet and slusik himself. But at last he
became convinced that he was really but
slightly hurt. In fact his mass of flesh
had p'rotected the vital parts, and his-momentary
unconsciousness had been the
result of fright, not of serious injury.
As this began to break upon him his
excellency saw that he was in a superla-tively
ridiculous position. Xor was this
the only thing that suggested lo him the
wisdom of an early flight. The kind hsik
of the Lady Isaliel, as he watched her
successfully stanching the blood of Dud- f
ley, convinced hiri that she loved her
cousin, and not himself. He gave a
scowl as he saw the kneeling fair one.
picked up his rapier and cane quietly,
and Btolc off unperceived.
Meantime the Lady Isaliel, to her inex
pressible joy. not only discovered the
wound, but easily succeeded in checking
the flow of blood. Her wild gratitude
and love expressed itself in the kisses
showered on the inanimate cheek of Dud
ley.
V\ hat wonder that, under those fervU
kisses, the wounded man revived, evta
betbre ihe maid could arrive with the
water! 0|iening his eves, he recognized
the Lady Isabel—she whom he though!
hopelessly lost to him—impressing her
li|w on In- own. Amazement filled every
feature of his face. For an instant, the
fair offender, blushing crimson, drew
back, bat, immediately, with a noble im-pulse,
she flung herself on him, exclaim-ing:
"Oh, Dudley! can you forgive me ? I
love you—you only. If you ask it, I will
never smile on another of your sex, but be
your true and faithful wife fill death shall
separate us."
Was he dreaming? Had he died, and
was this heaven? Or was it in truth a
sweet reality? Such were Ihe thoughts
Dial Hashed through the half collected
faculties of Dudley, as he feebly returned
his cousin's embrace. Hut her dear
words and dearer kisses sism assured him
of the blissful fact thai she was indeed all
his own and that Ihe Sufferings of the pasl,
with the misunderstandings that oc-casioned
Ihein, no longer existed.
When the maid returned, the Lady
Isaliel said blushiugly:
"He is Is-iter, you see-Mr. Dudley, I
mean—so haste lo the house and have a
litter senl; the wound is severe, bin 1
Ihink not daiigeroin,. Now, on your life,
baste!"
"But gisslness me, where is the earl ?"
j exclaimed 'he maid. "Surely I saw him
lying there. I saw Mr. Dudley, tisi, run
him through. At any rate, he is gone,"
she continued, alter lis.king al the s|»it
where he had lain, "cane, rapier and all.
and not a drop of bhssl lei) bshind. The
p.Kir gentleman. I always thought was a
coward. Marry' I'll venture my life on
il. that he fell from sheer fright when he
felt the cold sieel touching his fat
paunch "
Anil, with a laugh, away she tripped.
We have nothing more to lell which
the reader cannot guess. The earl left
Dudley hall that very evening, while ihe
surgeons were pronouncing the wounds of
our hero severe but not perilous. The
slory of his lordship's cowardice had IKCII
set afloat already by Ihe maid; and the
servants, who nil adored Dudley as they
despised his lordship, could not resist
jeering as the lumbering coach drove off
with fts bulky burden. Sir lieorge. the
other suitor, had the good taste lo depart
at daybreak the next morning.
I^ird Dudley gave free consent to the
match lietween his only child and our
hero, declaring that, though he might
have wished for more wealth in a suitor,
he was content to see his daughter happy.
The young couple were accordingly
united as tsion as Dudley had fully re-covered
from his wound; and so well
pleased was the baron with his son-in-law
that, in the end. he procured a new patent,
by which the title, that otherwise would
have U'Come extinct, was settled on our
hero and his heirs general, and not, as be-fore,
iqwin Lord Dudley's heir- male.
"And did the Lady Isabel ever llirt
again?" asks some fair reader. "Not
once." we reply. A lielter wife never
lived, or one more truly loved, and that
is saying a great deal. We only hope the
reader nn.y lie as liaoliv Ms il.« «■«.->.

There resides iu Wichita a widow
lady by the name.if Mrs. A. II. Gib-son.
she is of slight stature, and very
quiet and retiring, and with her
daughter carries on the profession of
milliner and niantua maker in the
store of llii.se.V Charlton. During the
late visit of the Indians to our fair, and
U the sons of the forest were in single
file panning along the street, a Chey-enne
brave suddenly broke ranks, and.
rushing into the above establishment,
put his arms about Mrs. Gibson, pat-ted
her with his hand, and iu broken
English gave expression to great joy
and silislaction. All the ladies iu the
store were, of coarse, nearly fright-ened
out of their wits, while the
blanketed savage kept reiterating,
"Oood squaw!" "Heap good squaw. '
The sequel is not uninteresting: Pre- i
vions to the great Indian massacre of i
I8H2, Mrs. Gibson, then Mrs. South-worth,
iived alone on the .Minnesota I
frontier. One day a squaw came to t
her house and made her understand
that she wanted soup, after obtaining .
which, carried it away in a vessel lo
Ihe woods. Fur several days she came
regularly on the same errand. A few
days lielore the bloody massacre, in ,
which so many settlements were wiped .
nut, and in which so many men, wo-men
and children were ruthlessly ;
butchered, two or three Indians with .
two squaws came lo Mrs. (iilison's and
asked for dinner. After the meal one i
of them told her that they must bind .
her in secrecy, and they kept strict i
watch over her for two weeks, after
which two squaws took her to within
a few miles of a fort, forty miles dis-tant,
put her down in the mad and told
her when dark came to go in, which
she did, and that no harm could befall
her. Of course she could only submit, ,
and as she was lieing canted to her ,
destination during the next day. saw
the burning homes, fleeing settlers, ami
scenes that will never be effaced from
her memory. From the squaw she
learned that the soup she had daily i
made was for a sick chief, Msnoway, ;
who recovered, and who had deter-mined
to save her and hers. When she [
returned to her home the following
spring, after several mouths absence,
she found every thing just as she had
lelt it. Not a cow or even a chicken
was missing, but everything had lieen :
cared for. fed and protected during the
long winter by some Indians who had
beendetailed for that purpose, and who
immediately relinquished everything to
her peaceful possession. I rur hero was
one of the party, and in spite of the
time intervening. Immediately recog- j
nized her, and expressed his satisfac- I
tion as related. — Wichita {Kansas)

of her leading citizens who has an eye

he supposed to lie the hiss of escaping

it a pity to allow the gas to run to

attitude, he vainly applied
match after match to the tip. a large

At last he gave up the at tempt

from the escaping steam of a peanut-roaster

I bargain could not lie made. Later,
while the learned professor was travel-ing
in Abyssinia, he wrote the proprie-tors,
telling them that on a certain
date he should be in Paris on the way
to America, and that if they had any
proposition to make to him regarding
the mammoth, he could received it
there. Arriving at Paris, be found a
letter asking him to make an oiler. He
responded by telegraph, and his oiler
was accepted. He therefore delayed
his expected return to this country,
Went to Stuttgart, and began the Jong
and tedious job of taking down and
packing for transportation the gigantic
specimen of past age<: In tiii.-, task he
bad the assistance ol several skillul
artists.
The monsier restoration occupied,
when ready for travel, fourteen large
boxes, which weighed iu the aggregate
over seven tons. The freight upon the
animal from Stuttgart to New York
was JI'IS-J, and from New York to
Koch.stcr. by canal, IBo. Several of
the largest freight wagons were re-quired
to convey his lordship to the
working buildings of Professor Ward,
at Ihe rear of the university buildings,
and a new building had to lie erected
to accommodate him when he should
lie dressed in reception regalia, clothed,
and, so far as the image of an animal
could require, iu his right mind. Two
skilful artists from Germany, and
several others from New York, were
pi cured to assist Professor Ward iti
the work of putting the affair together

been busily at work upon the restora-tion
of this m.mi,not I., and now iias it

assure our readers that it is a wonder
for any one to examine. The building
erected by Protessor Ward tor its
special accommodation is situated a
little east ofCosmoa Hall. It contains
nothing else but the mammoth, with
Ihe exception of a skeleton of an ele-phant
in one comor, which is so small
as to be insignificant beside its preliis-lorical
rival.
The aiiimul stands facing the door.
and hence upon entrance the visitor
finds himself suddenly face to face with

innocent looking monsier. It slan.ls
sixteen and a hall leet in height, Ibir-teen
feet between the tusks, twenty-eight
and one-half feet from tusks to
tail, and thirty leet in girth about Ihe
thickest part ol the body. The tusks
are nearly a toot in thickness at their
greatest size, and are truly enormous
in appearance, Theeyes, locaicd high
up in the head, are, of course, quite
small in proportion lo the size of the
i could do while standing on one or both
leet. or while reclining. The disloca-
I tion caused an apparent shortening of
| Ihe limb. Another striking feat was
the turning of his feet so that he could
touch Ihe bottoms of them while his
| legs were perfectly straight. Perhaps
', the most remarkable of all his powers
was the w..luleit ii expansibility of his
chest. Medical works, upon the
strength oi examinations of thousands
of men ill the army and navv, generally
give live inches as the maximum of ex-pansion.
The exhibitor could expand
Ins from nine tc-twelve inches. Those
who did not take milch interest in his
other pertorroances were wonder struck
at I his. This feat was |>ci formed by
the remarkable degree of the com-pressibility
of the chest, and his power
to force his heart and lungs into the
abdominal cavity, and then to force
his viscera into his chest. The ab-domen
was hardly less curious when
the viscera was forced upwards by the
diaphragm than was the inflated chest,
for at such time there seemed to be an
entire absence of organs in thai part of
ih. body, aud to be no distance at all
from the front Willis of the abdomen to
the spinal column.
This subject proved a line study iu

could make them as distinct as if dis-seclcd.

- A Birmingham |(Jomi.) farmer re-centl)
lost his wile, and there lienig no
undertaker in the place he was obliged
to go to a neighboring town to procure
on.-. His errand accomplished, con-versation
was pursued on various top-ics,

undertaker had plenty of walnuts thai

the farmer agreed lo give him
half a bushel when he drove over with
the hearse, and said he coiihl lake theui
on the seat with him. On the day of
the funeral, when the rooms were filled
with friends who had come to sym-pathize,
and when everything was
hushed and still, the farmer went up
.stairs to fullil his promise, and just as
he was about to descend the stairs the
bottom of the measure fell out, and
with a terrible raltling noise the wal-nuts
roll..! down the uncarpeted stairs,
alarming the i*ople below. They rushed
out to see ihe cause ofthe disturbance.
The poor farmer stood holding the bot-tomless
measure, not knowing which
way t" turn. The friends assisted in
gathering up the walnuts with as good
grace as they could muster, more than
ever convinced, no doubt, that there is
a time for everything.
young laily's uncle is a millionaire or a
missionary if her lover's constancy is
in question. A i.crmau otlicer, who
was sintering from wounds received
during the war with France, was re-cently
sent to a village in the Swiss
• 'union of Vaud, to recruit his strength.
There he made the acquaintance oi a
young lady whose pareuls resided in
the same village, and the couple became
engaged. Owing to the mildness of
the climate, the hem soon regained bis
health, aud before long an order arrived
from headquarters desiring him to re-port
himself within a week at Berlin.
At first his letters were tilled with
protestations of the enduring rial lire of
his love, but gradu illy, as time wore
on, -they became less frequent and
much colder in tone. Six weeks had
elapsed since he had last written, when,
instead of a lelter full of reproaches,
the Lieutenant received a telegram
from his dear atarie, in the following
word-: "D.ar Fritz—I have just re-ceived
a letter informiug ine thai mv
uncle, who was a millionaire, al Prank-i
bar, in the East Indies, is dead, and
that I am his sole heiress.'' The Lieu-tenant
lost no time. He set out for
Ihe village. The young lady was
overwhelmed with joy on seeing her
lover once more, but reproached him
for his long silence. "Don't let us
talk nl it. dear Marie." he replied;
"there is now no obstacle toour union.
The unexpected go.*! fortune which
Providence Iras sent us has removed
the objections of my |iarcnts to our
marriage, for a fortune so great, so
colossal- " At these words Marie,
taking his baud, said: "Fritz, do not
make fun of inc."' The lover drew
out of his pocket Ihe telegram, askm-her
whether she had not written the
words, "My uncle has just ilii-d a mil-lionaire
ai Frankbar." Utterly as-tound..!.
Marie dropped his hand, and
her eyes filling with tear-, exclaimed.
"D.ar Fritz ih.re is a mistake in the
telegram. What I wrote was 'Mj
