Young Dunsmuir was considerably startled at receiving a letter trom pretty Mrs. Hambleton, whieh opened his eyes to the awkward fact that the lady regarded his atteutions as quite se- rious. For some time past he had been growing uneasy at Mrs. Hambleton’s highly flattering demeanor towards him. When he renewed ac- quaintance with the woman who had jilted him many years before, he had no thought of drift- ing into a’ dangerous flirtation. The truth was that the seven years which had elapsed since they parted had completely eured Frank Duns- muir of his boyish infatuation. Upon hisreturn to England with his regiment he had almost forgotten Eglantine Maine, or could hardly re- alize that the stock broker's wife, whom he ac- cidentally met at = garden party, was the di- vinity whose fickleness had cast a gloom over his youthful existence. Yet Mrs. Hambleton still retained her beauty, though she had lost the freshness of girlhood. and young Dunsmuir could not resist paying her the attentions she assiduously courted. But he perceived she was a foolish, frivolous woman, weak and impulsive, greedy of admiration, and not overburdened with inteliigence. Mrs. Hambleton seemed bent upon regaining her ascendancy over her old lover. It may be that his handsome face and figure inspired her with genuine admiration. She certainly used all her powers of fascination to keep him by her side, and Dunsmuir yielded, partly from fatal good nature and partly from gratified vanity. But his regard for Mrs. Hambleton was of a very lukewarm character, and consequently he was not oblivious of the dictates of prudence and propriety. When the jealous husband scowled at him, he felt honestly ashamed of himself, and Mrs. Hambleton’s foolish letter—written evi- dently after a domestic scene—only hastened a resolve which he had long ago formed in his mind to put an end to this equivocal state of affairs. * Dunsmuir, therefore, consigned the letter to the flames, and told his man to pack up his things Immediately. His first impulse was to write to Mrs. Hambleton and formally break off their acquaintance. From such an extreme course, however, his chtvalrous feelings not un- naturally revolted, while prudence suggested that it would be unwise to commit himself by sending @ sentimental farewell. Upon the whole, he thought it best to take his departure without attempting to offer any explanation, and leave the lady to draw her own conclusions. At the last moment, however, a brother officer looked In at his rooms, gnd mentioned inciden- ay that he was going to call upon Mre. Ham- leton. “ By-the-by. I wish you would leave a card for me, old fellow, and tell Mrs. Hambleton T've gone fishing in North Wales,” said Duns- muir. “Very well,” replied his friend; and Dunsmuir started off on his expedition without thinking any more of the matter. He took up his quar- ters at a quiet inn in the neighborhood of Snow- don, and devoted himself to the pursuit of his favorite pastime. Frank Dunsmuir was an en- thusiastic fisherman, and thought nothing of sacrificing his night’s rest to the prospect of sport. He would camp out ina primitive fash- ion, regardless of heavy dews or falling rains, in order to be ready, rod in hand, at the scene of action when tne first streak of dawn appeared on the horizon. It was after one of these occa- sions, when his zeal had been rewarded by a highly satifactory take of fish, thathe was met on his return to the inn about nine o'clock in the morning by the landlay, whose face bore an ominous expression. “If you please, sir, alady have arrived,” said buxom hostess. ‘A lady! Did she ask for me, Mrs. Roberts?” exclaimed Dunsmuir, in amazement. “Yes, sir. She came by the night mail from London, and arrived quite early this morning. But she won't take bit nor sup nor rest; till she have seen you,” said the landlady, whose glance denoted grave displeasure. “She is waiting in the coffee room, more dead than alive.” Dunsmuir entered the apartment indicated, more puzzled and curious than apprehensive,and to his consternation, found himselt face to face with Mrs. Hambleton. The poor lady looked distressed and weary, and at the sight of Duns- muir’s grave face broke out into eager protesta- tion: > “You wished me to come, Frank! Don't say you did not!. T understood your meaning when you sent a message by your friend to say where you had gone. My husband's conduct has driven me to this. Oh! Iam go unhappy and ashamed of myself!” = “Confound Marshall!” Dunsmuir exclaimed in- wardly. “I did not tell him to mention any ad- dress. Here is a duce of a pickle!” But before he had time for further reflections his visitor gave way to violent hysterics, which rendered it necessary to summon the landlady. It was sometime before Mrs. Hambleton recov- ered her senses, and she was then so exhausted that Mrs. Roberts’ indignation gaye way to womanly sympathy. Dunsmuir was much moved by the unfortunate lady's distress, from which he rightly guessed that she had already repented of the fatal step she had taken. That she had blindly followed a rash and foolish im- pulse in consequence of somedisagreement with her husband was as apparent as the feeling of shame and humiliation which evidently over- whelmed her. Dunsmuir assisted in removing Mrs. Hamble- ton to the landlady’s own room, and then began, vise some means of saving the tootish lady's rep- utation was naturally his chief anxiety, espe- cially as he felt in a measure responsible for what had occurred. His first idea was to send her back to town by the next train; but unfortu- nately, Mrs. Hambleton was not in a fit state to travel, and, besides, this expedient seemed somewhat clumsy and unsatisfactory. After further reflection, he resolved upon another course, which he imparted to the landlady at the earliest opportunity. ‘Mrs. Roberts, there has been an unfortunate misunderstanding,” he said. ‘The poor lady up stairs has evidently had a disagreement wit! her husband, and came here expecting to find my married sister, who Is an old schoolfellow of hers. Iam going to telegraph for my sister hinmediately, and shall return to town to relieve the mind of the lady’s husband.” “Very well, sir,” returned the landlady, no doubt comprehending the true state of the case, and approving of her guest’s laudable inten- tions. “Then I am to keep the lady here till your sister comes.” “Most certainly,” said Dunsmuir. ‘Don’t let her leave on any account.” He hastened to the nearest telegraph office and dispatched the following message to his sister: “Be prey to come here by to-night’s dhsh'retare to town and try to see you mail. before you start, to explain. In any case, come here without fail.” He had meanwhile sent his Inggage on to the station, and was fortunate enough to catch a train which was Just starting for B——. So far, therefore, his scheme had prospered. At the junction he hoped tobe in time for the morning express, which stopped there, and then went straight to London. He arrived just as the express was oe te the first person he saw on alighting from the train was Mra. Hamble- ton’s husband. Dunsmuir was very much eegeres this un- expected meeting. Mr. Hambleton gh evi- dently obtained a clue to his wife’s destination, and had followed in pursuit by the early morn- ing train. No doubt he recollected where Duns- muir had gone, and had formed his own conclu- sions. He was apparently waiting for the train by which Dunsmuir had just arrived, and which would start back again In a few minutes’ time. _ Dunsmuir naturally feared that all his precau- tions had been thrown away. If Mr. Hambleton found his wife at the inn where hehad been stay i bes — = @scene.

When the express came to a standstill, Mr. Hambleton was bundled into it somewhat unceremoniously, but without raising the slightest objection, being apparently under the impression that he was proceeding to his destination. Dunsmuir en- himself comfortably in the corner of a smoking carriage, and traveled up to town by the same train, chuckling at the success of his unprincipled maaceuvre, but by no means free from apprehensions lest Mr. Hambleton should discover the trick that had been Sern a upon him and raise an alarm. Fortu! ly, this fore- boding was not realized, for the stock broker, being in a somnolent state, sank inton Son sleep, from which he was with difficulty aro at the London terminus. Pansmuir lost no time in making his way to his sister's house at Bayswater, and an hour or so later he presented himself demurely at Mr. Hambleton’s residence at Queen's gate, and was ushered into the presence of that gentleman, who greeted him with a stare of amazement. Mr. Hambleton was making a hasty meal with what appetite he could muster, preparatory to starting off again by the evening mail. He had by this time recovered his sober senses, and looked ludicrously embarrassed and shame- faced at the sight of his visitor. “Why, Dunsmuir! I thought you were in— I thought you had gone fishing,” he mur mured. “T changed my plans, and start for Devon- shire to-morrow,” replied Dunsmuir, unblush- ingly. ‘I have an important message for you, Mr. Hambleton; I expected to find you at the stock exchange. ! I happened to be away to-day,” replied Mr. Hambleton, rather hastily. “That was unfortunate,” eaid Dunsmuir. “The reason I wished to see you was to show you this letter. The letter which he handed to Mr. Hambleton bore that morning's date, and was addressed from the inn in North Wales. It ran thus: My DEAR FRANK: Pray call on Mr. Hambleton the moment you receive this, and relieve his mind about Eglantine. Iam sending this by the guard of the morning express, so that you may receive it early and take it to Mr. Hambleton at once, wiere- ever he may be.

I would ave telegraphed, but do not know his city ad- dress, and I don’t like to disturb Eglantine by re- vealing my stupidity. I think we shall stay here about ten days. Won’t you change your mind-again, and join us, instead of going to that stupid Devonshire? 1 expect George every day. He was detained in town at the last moment.

Dunsmuir watched Mr. Hambleton eagerly as he read this mendacious lucubration, and to his great relief the stock broker evident! lieved every word of it. He returned the jetter with a grunt, and said sulkily: ‘Confound the women’ What an idiotic way they have of doing things! Why couldn't my wife have left a message for me?” “It was very thoughtless of her,” returned Dunsmuir, gravely. “Shall yoube able to run down for a day or two?’ “Til be if I do! ”.exclaimed Mr. Ham- bleton, with sudden vehemence. “I hate North Wales, and I've had enough of traveling . Been away on important business,” he added, avoiding his visitor’s gaze, ‘and feel quite knocked up. However, Dunsmuir, it was devilish friendly of you to take so much trouble about looking me up, and I confess I shall enjoy a good night’s rest to-night. I was thinking of starting on another journey to-night, but I've changed my mind, and I hope you will stay and dine with me, old fellow.” ——_—_\§_~-e-____ Is the Comet an Old Visitor? From the New York Sua. Astronomy is usually reckoned an exceed. ingly exact science, and in most of its methods and the great mass of its ascertained facts it is exact, yet, as the conflicting theories and calcu- dations about the great comet now visible show, some departments of the science are subject to astonishing uncertainty. The opposing views of the astronomers as to the orbit of the pres- ent comet and the question of its identity with the great comets of 1830 and 1843 are likely to lead some persons to look upon the whole sub- ject with incredulty. The trouble, however, is not that the astronomers are no better than so many weather prophets dealing in guess work and humbuggery, but that in acase like this it is exceedingly difficult to obtain trustworthy data to serve asa basis for the application of mathematical formule. What the astrono- mers are able to do when there is the least solid ground to base their calculations upon is shown by the surprising success of thelr predictions of the successive returns of Halley’s comet, which has a period of some seventy-five years, and is subject to perturbing forces which it requires an amazing process of calculation to disentan- gle. In the present case the question of inter- est is whether this comet has ever been seen in the neighborhood of the sun before. The com- putations made at Washington have been re- garded as goivg far toward identifying it with the comets of i880 and 1843, which, in turn, have been supposed to be the same as the comet of 1668. If these great comets are all one and the same, and if tle dates mentioned comprise every visit that this comet has paid tothe sun since it was first seen, then, manifestly, its pe- to think seriously what was to be done. To de-"| Tiod 18 growing shorter at a marvelous rate, and we may expect it to end its career by fal- ling into the sun very shortly. The possible ef- fects of the fall of a comet upon the sun have been frequently discussed of late, though the idea that such an accident might prove disas- trous to the earth is not a new one, having been entertained by Newton 200 years ago. Some months ago, when there was a good deal of talk about Mr. Proctor’s suggestion of what the “menacing comet” of 1830, as he styled It, might do, Prof. Young expressed the hope that if it did fall into the sun he might live to see it. That is probably the feeling of most as- tronomers. The downfall of a comet into the fiery furnace of the sun might furnish a fine ree but would not be likely to hurt the earth. There Is reason to think, however, that if the orbit of the present comet proves to be ideatl- cal with that pursued by the comets of 1880 and 1843, it is not the same body. If itis the same body, then either it has a very short period and has n invisible at most of its visits, or its os has been reduced in the surprfsing way re mentioned. The improbability of such a reduction is so great that even those who think it is the same comet prefer to believe its period has always been short, and that it has only occa- sionally been seen when visiting the sun. But in view of the observed orbits of the comets of 1843 and 1880, this is very improbable. The comet of 1843 was seen for more than six weeks atter its perihelion , and that of 1880 was visible for several weeks It is not likely that a comet of such brilllancy could often swing around the sun, blazing with the splendor resulting from its ex- traordinarily close approach to the great lumi- nary, without belng detected. Upon the whole, then, it is more likely that this comet isa body following the same path as that pursued by the comets of 1843 and 1880, and the fact that its perihelion passage seems‘to have been made at &@ distance certainly not less and probably greater than theirs is another argument against be supposition Lins it is ie wane comet, ‘peer ig about the sun in a rapidly narrowing orbit preparatory to ite fall. si ing ————-o-___ ‘The Absent-Minded Man and His Box, From fhe Oil City Derrick. “T was going to Kinzua, when a young man got on at Warren and sits down side of me, and bym'by says he ‘I've a little box here I call my bean box.’ With that he pulls out a little round box an’ shakes it, an’ I hears somethin’ Tattle. ‘Now,’ says he, ‘s’pose we jest bet the on there being odd or even beans in that box.’ ‘All right,’ says I, ‘it’s odd.’ ‘You'velost,’ sayshe. ‘Yes,’ says I; ‘we'll get the clgars at Kinzua.’ And then we falls to talkin’ about somethin’ else s long time, until all at once says he. ‘I just want to yous little bean box T’ve got here;’ an’ he pulls out that box Says he, ‘Let’s bet the odd oreven beans in thi myself, you poor absent-minded oritter, in moments of | member that to remember what is it?” and——” as the wasn’t the Colonel. “There was seven beans in that “I found out afterward that the box bad no bottom, or rather had covers at both ends.

AME AND BRICK, 959x100; dated Bt validity of the article, but they have been so numerous that further investigation of the subject was deemed an editorial necessity. With this end in view a representative of this paper called on Dr. Henion, at his residence on St. Paul street, when the following interview occurred: ‘*That article of yours, Doctor, has created quite a whirlwind. Are the statements about the terrible condition you ‘were in, and the way you were rescued, such as you can sustain?” People ever get so near the grave as I did and then return, and J am not surprised that the public think it marvolous. It was marvelous." “How in the world did you, a physician, come to be brought s0 low?" : ““By neglecting the first and most simple symptoms. I did not think I wassick. It is true I had frequent headaches; felt tired most of the time; could eat nothing one day and was ravenous the next: felt dull indefini e pains and my stomach was out of order, but I did not mn | think it meant anything serious. “But have these common ailments anything to do with the fearful Bright's disease which took eo firm & hold on you?” they are the sure indications of the first stages of that dreadful malady. The fact is, few people know or realigg what ails them, and Iam sorry to say that too few pifsicians do either. “*That is a strange statement, Doctor.” “*Butitisatraeone. The medical profession have been treating symptoms instead of diseases for years, and it is high time it ceased. We doctors have been clipping off the twigs when we should strike at the root. ‘The symptoms I have just mentioned, or any unusual action or irritation of the water channels, indicate the approach of Bright's disease even more than ments." “* This, then, is what you mean when you eaid that more than one-half the deaths which ocour arise from Bright's disease, is it, doctor?” “‘Precisely. Thousands of so-called diseases are tor- turing people to-day, when in reality it is Bright's die- eas in some one of its many forms. Itis a Hydra- headed monster, and the slightest symptoms should strike terror to every one who has them. I can look x and recall hundreds of deaths which physicians declared at the time were caused by paralysis, apoplexy, heart disease, pneumonia. malarial fever and other Bright's diseare.” “And did all these cases have simple symptoms at “Every one of them, and might have been cured as 1 was by the timely use of the same remedy—Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver Cure. I am getting my eyes thoroughly opened in this matter, and think Iam help- ing others to see the facts aud their possible danger also. Why, there are no end of truths bearing on this subject. If you want to know more about it go and see Mr. Warner himself, Hoe was sick the same as I, andis the healthiest man in Rochester to-day. He has made & study of this subject and can give you more factathan Tecan. Go, too, and see Dr. Lattimore, the chemist, at the University. If you want facts there are any quan- tity of them, showing the alarming increase of Bright's disease, its simple and deceptive symptoms, and that there is but one way by which it can be escaped.” Fully satisfied of the trath and force of the Doctor's words the reporter bade him good day and called on Mr. Warner at his establishment on Exchange street. At first Mr. Warner was inclined to be reticent, but learn- ing that the intormation desired was about the alarm- ing increase of Bright's disease his manner changed in- stantly and he spoke very earnestly. “‘Is it true that Bright's disease has increased won- derfully, and we find, by reliable statistics, that in the past ten yearsits growth has been 250 per cent. Look at the prominent men it has carried off: Everett, Sum- ner, Chase, Wilson, Carpenter, Bishop Haven and others. ‘This is terrible, and shows a greater growth than that of any other known complaint. It should be plain to every one that something must be done to check this increase or there is no knowing where it may end. **Do you think many people are afflicted witn it to- day who do not realize it, Mr. Warner?" “‘Hundreds of thousands. I have a striking exam- Plo of this truth which has just come to my notice. A Prominent professor in a New Orleana medical college Was lecturing before his class on the subject of Bright's disease. He had various fluids under microscopic analysis, and was showing the students what the indi- catious of this terrible malady were. In order to show the contrast between healthy and unhealthy fluids, he had provided a vial, the contents of which were drawn from his own person. ‘And now gentlemen,” he said, “as we have coen the unhealthy indications, I will show you how it appears in state ot perfect health,’ and he sabmitted his own fluid tothe usual test. As he watched’ the results his countenance suddenly his color and command both left him, and in a trembling voice he said: “Gentlemen, Ihave made a painful dis- covery; Ihave Bright's disease of the kidneys,’ and in Jess than a year he was dead.” “You believe then that it has no symptoms of its own snd is frequently unknown even by the person who is afflicted with it?” “It has no symptoms of its own and very often none atall. Usually no two people have the same symptoms, and frequently death ts the first aymptom. The slight- est indication of any kidney difficulty should beenough tostrike terrorto anyone. I know what Iam talking about, for I have been through all the stages of kidney “You know of Dr. Henion's case?” ‘Yes, I have both read and heard of it.” ‘It is very wonderful, is it not?” AUCTION SALES.
