The eye, to nature's charms »3 blind. That all the elementa combined Would fall to rouse the dormant •mil. Will kindle at the gleam of gold.

And if, U> their henli;Med view, A glimpse of heaven rhould struggle through, Ills, because Ihey'veoft been told, The 'City's' made of purest gold; And even then Ihey would enjoin A •mini'to make It Inloeoln.

W h e n she d id learn th is lesson, when he r fierce passion had been sub-dued , and she could iiuietly bear he r ciossca and d i s sappoin tments , when exc i t emen t a n d gay scenes had lost the i r charms, a n d h o m e and p u r e dom-est ic du t ies had t a k e n the i r place in her hea r t , the one who would h a v e en-Joyed the change , Riid rejoiced in t h e now amiable, and st i l l b e a u t i f u l wo-man , was fa r a w a y , i gnoran t of he r re-peritance, en t i re ly es t ranged .

Seven years w e n t by, a n d wo Und Estel le Duval s t i l l w i t h her pa r en t s and only sister , now j u s t twen ty - two , t h e age t h a t she had been when he r eyes las t res ted on her husband ' s face. * F r i e n d s o f t e n wondered t h a t Mrs. Duval never appeared in society w i t h Clara , b u t they could not bu t a d m i r e her dign.lied reserve , whi l e su f f e r ing t inder t h e s t i ng of being a deser ted wife .

Mr . Malcolm, h e r f a t h e r , had neve r been a f o r t u n a t e m a n In business , and as t i n e s were h a r d he had sought of la te years to m e n d his now s lender in-come by t ak ing in a few select board-ers

On t h e morn ing when we see t h e m in t he i r house, t h e m o t h e r a n d he r two d a u g h t e r s were sea ted in Estel le ' s pre t t i ly f u r n i s h e d bed-room, d iscuss ing t h e appearance of a gen t l eman w h o had j u s t l e f t a f t e r engaging rooms.

U e would t a k e possi salon of h is handsome a p a r t m e n t s t h e nex t day, h e said on leaving.

"Did you l ike h is appearance , mam-m a ' / " a s k e d Clara .

I did very m u c h ; a l though all con-ersa t ion was car r ied on t h r o u g h a

f r i end he b r o u g h t w i t h him as inter-pre ter , he be ing a G e r m a n u n a b l e to speak ou r l anguaga .

I should th ink h i m weal thy , aa he was wi l l ing t o pay high pr ices fo r add i t iona l pr ivi leges and comfor ts . "

I hope he wi l l be a p leasan t in-m a t e of ou r home , a l though h e m u s t be a s i lent one, as w e canno t converse w i t h him," r e m a r k e d Este l le .

I n raising he r eyes whi l e speaking , t hey fell upon a l ikeness of he r a b s e n t husband , w h o s e handsome, beard less face, wi th i ts w i n n i n g smile seemed al-mos t boyish in i t s beau ty and repose,

H e r gaze seemed r iveted upon t h e p ic tu re aa she ca lmly c o n t i n u e d -

" I was pass ing t h rough t h e hall as he was l eav ing and t h e tones of h is voice r eminded m e of Eugene 's . Did ho look l ike h l m ¥ "

"Oh, no. H e was, as I say, f u l l for -ty-live. H i s h a i r was very gray a n d bushy, and so w a s h is f u l l beard . T h e r e may have been a look of Eugene ' s H' bou t the large, d a r k eyes, no twi th-s t a n d i n g he wore spectacles w i t h t i n t ed glasses, b u t 1 did n o t t h i n k of i t w h i l e w i t h h im."

M r . Oberhol tzer proved upon f u r t h -e r acqua in tance a j ierfect g e n t l e m a n .

H e seemed socially incl ined, o f t e n spending h is evenings , in t h e pa r lo r w i t h the f ami ly , b r i ng ing t h e r e bis books and papers , be ing fond of read-ing and s t udy .

A t first t h e ladles fel t a w k w a r d w i t h t he i r s i lent compan ion , b u t finally t hey ceased to r ega rd his pecu l ia r i t i e s ; a n d k n o w i n g t h a t he did no t unde r s t and them, they cha t t ed a w a y of the i r own affaire , heedless of h is presence.

One th ing , however , became appar -e n t to Mrs . Malcolm and Clara , and t h a t was, t h a t Mr. O b e r h o l t w appea r -e d to admi re exceedingly t h e to ta l ly unconscious Este l le .

A decision in a c t f e ol general inter-est was rendered by J u d g e Chipman of t h e Detroit Superior Court last w w k . A

mini obtained insurance u|>on his house, ^ and in the policy it wa* provided that if

mj in a l , i n " • p r e m i s e , insured become Oftrolt on WrdasMtr, M*y if, IW), *t 11 o'clock vacant , t h e insurance should cease.

During t h e life of the policy tho man a n d his wife went away on a visit ami were gone two weeks, leaving the house

closed and alone, and d u r i n g their ab-sence the house was destrovud by lire. The Company refused to pay t h e insur-ance and th is suit waa brought to en-force payment . J u d g e Chipman gave

judgmen t for the Company holding thai tho premises "became vacant" within the mean ing of the policy. Persons in-sur ing their buildings a n d whose build-ings are insured, cannot be too carefu l in their dealings w i t h the company. In appl icat ions for insurance it is gene-rally necessan- to s ta te t h e condition of t h e ti t le of the property, whether in-

cumbered or not . in whose name, etc. , and a false representat ion as to any one of these facts makes t h e insurance void Each one insured should read over t h e policy of insurance a n d not ice and care-ful ly comply w ith all i ts conditions. A policy generally provides tha t addition-al insurance obtained wi thou t the con-sent of the company, a n d any change in t h e ti t le of the insured premises, and as in this cai . leaving the premises vacant , a n y one of them, shall m a k e the policy void. Of course, if the consent of the company th rough its agent , is obtained and indorsed on t h e policy, to an}- of these changes, t h e policy remaini valid and the condi t ion is waived. A littlr a t ten t ion to these ma t t e r s would save m a n y law suits and m a n y a man f rom ru in .

The case of Allen vg. Duffle, decided | by the Supreme Court in February , in-volved t h e val idi ty of subscriptions made on Sunday to aid in bui lding a church and to pay c h u r c h debts. The Sunday law in force in th is State is as follows; "No person shall keep open his shop, ware-house o r work-house, or shall do a n y m a n n e r cf lal>or, business o r work, except only works of necessity

and char i ty • • • on the first day of the week, a n d any person so offend-ing shall be punished by a fine not ex-'•eeding 110 for each offence." Undei the provisions of th is law It is held thai

all cont rac ts and promises made on Sun lay, in f u r t h e r a n c e of all business, hi "nir or work which is prohibited by th ; s ta tute , a re illegal and void. In t in

ase Allen subscribed | 2 5 to aid in pay ing for a church , fa i l ing to pay, thir

suit was brought and Allen defended oi ' h e ground tha t it was wi th in the prohi •lition of the s ta tu te and hence void The Supreme Court held tha t all the nc cessary or usual work conn.-cted witl religious worship was a work of cha r i t t that the work of tho churches and re-ligious societies was in the very highest sense char i table and t h a t all promises ind contracts m a d e t o suppor t rel igiom worship, to pay church debts, or to help build churches aro m a d e to assist i n n work of char i ly and are themselves works of char i ty and hence valid and •tinding though m a d e on Sunday, beinp vithin t h e exception in the s ta tu te .

W e have elsewhere expressed our views on the " th i rd t e rm" quest ion but in doing so do not necessarily s tand com-mit ted in favor of Gen. Grant as our first choice for president. Our only oli-jection to his nominat ion is tha t w e a n too much of a Gran t man to w a n t to sec

It is rarely tha t we arc treated w i t h as eloquent a eulogy by a Senator as t h a t of Senator Voorhees upon Brumldl , the recently deceased artist oi tho Capitol, A Congressional speech usually is as des t i tu te of or ienta l graces as a l awyer ' s a rgumen t before a j u ry upon some d ry , knot ty legal quibble, aud Senator Voor-

Mr. Voorhees referred to t h e ar t is t ' s ser-vices in adorn ing the Senate commi t t ee rooms a n d panels and corridnrs w i t h pictures of men . and auimals . and birds of America , whose merits , as works of ar t , would suffice in Europe to m a k e h im famous, and to ent i t le h im to a bur ia l -placo wi th tho nobility and Ihe grea t , and said: "Tho birds, especially, a re al l

An interest ing debate arose i ^ j h e Senate ppon a motion to repeal t h e i a w urohlbi t ing the appoin tment of ex-con-federates to tho Army and Navy. Mr. Edmunds forced the debato, as he said, for tho purpose of sett l ing tho ma t t e r , and, as usual , he and Mr. T h u r m a n an-tagonized. These two great men " lock horns" upon nearly every question aris-ing in the Senate. Both aro lawyers of pre-eminent ability, and can spilt hairs with the nicest possible discr iminat ion betw-icn tweedledee and tweed ledum, .ind, d i f fer ing as they do in politics, they necessarily oppose each o the r iu all issues w i t h tho sl ightest*poli t ical bear-ng in t iu i. The debate was not con-

clu>'oJ,ai. 1 i t Is not likely the s t a tu te will be repealed in advance of tho com-ing presidwntlal contest . Inasmuch as t h u ropeaUinvolve* on immense a m o u n t of political capital which , liko t h e

Yet jus t now nei ther par ty will a ssume the responsibility of breaking down ex-i t i n g ilislinctions. Mr. T h u r m a n . how-ever, look advance ground in f avor ol repeal.

The House Is rapidly br inging Its re-vising the rule^ to a conclusion, and will soon possess a new code.
