Tills alarming dispatch ! arrived at a particularly inopjKirtur.e j moment. Mr. Thomas Bilbtiry had on the day previous married a very chartuj ing young lady, l-ydia Lapples by name; | and the intelligence of liis uncle's sad 1 condition necessitated that the newlyj made husband — who. by the way. bail I oniv become acquainted with his bride I abtmtsifweeh" iVfon- marriage-should, without a moment's delay take the train ' for Dover, cross to Calais, and thence *n>e' affair was pressing. Mr. Biackthorne's ik-atl. would certainly throw | the business into confusion, and anv | hesitation on the part of the English I partners might imperil the future pf the ^Go at once, my dear boy." wrote Air. Joseiih liilbury to his son, who was . I in the Isle of Wight, "and send your j I wife to me. 1 will take «arc of her. and see her sctUed in your new homo at Richmond, i would go myself, but my gout won't allow me. And above ail There wa- no help for it. Mr. Bil- 1 bury. Jr.. felt that he must gu;V he and Lidding a verv long ami tender good-by to his poor little w ife. He escurt.sl Iter aero-s to Potlsinouth. j.ut into a Ixindon train, kissed her off. and then took the next train for Dover. She settled down in her new liome at Richmond 1101; and he f..emany month, j afterwards worked hatxj at liis desk in] Calctilta. arranging the worldly affairs j of his dead uncle, and from time to time i ucuding home report, of his progress. : and love letters to Lydia. Two years in fsel. elapsed ere he wa. ] able io rettiro to Englaml: and then returned. tfsW had gone out. at a men suddenly left him fro-, and. unwilling to Joee a day. ha lawk the first home- ' ward-bound steamer, which, ao it happened, was also taking to Richmond a letter, written a few davs earlier, in whit* Mr. Bil bury, among other mat term, regretted to his wife that the pressure of business would not leave him at liberty for at least a month. He traveled home without adventure, landed in due course at Dover, arrived in London, late at night, and without, having written a word of warning to Lydia, hurried on next morning to Richmond Hill. Why he did not write or telegraph, we cannot say; perhaps he thought hi* sudden appearance would agrwably surprise his wife: or perhaps be was too excited to be able to think at all. Bot in any ease, he neither wrote nor telegraphed "k single word of p reIt was a fine sunnr mornln" in summer; Mf. Thomas liilbury had scarcely s-en his new borne, which he had taken in a hurry immediately before bis wilding; and be was walking eagerly up the abort carriage drive -ceding to the house, when, happening to cast his gaic toward the upper windows, lie caught night of a fair, white-draped figure which was watering some llowenng plants that stood in a row on the will, lie at oncre ree.ignixed'tbe figure as that of his wife, and was about to' utter a cry of aalalalioo when be suddenly became I conscious that she did not recognize him. for with graceful modesty she withdrew from the window and disappeared . as soon as she became conscious that he was walcblffg her. An idea struck him. It was a fooli.fi, but not wholly unnatural one. lie would pretend to be someone else— a friend, say. of her husband's, and would m.k to sec her as such. Of course .he would at once recognize his voice; hut then the surprise, and the , eonseijueat pleasure, would be the mora • complete if he thus deferred tbem. He knocked, therefore, at the door, and to the servant who appeared announced that he had last returned from India and desired to see Mrs. liilbury. He gave no name, bat he was admitted and ■hown into the drawing-room, where, in - re - perturbation of mind, be awaited ' JM advent of hi. wife from whom he ~Vad been so long and so ' croelly sepor- ■ "I sappo-c that she will know roc," be reflectad, as he stood with his back to tbo tcindow ; -but it is true that I hare grown a tolerably big bear.! since I I went away, and that Is bare become . considerably tanned.

Mr. IhrjMTwbo socms to he a favorite; spoke "Very cheerfully of his prospect^ and il is believed that be has a strong lead, though the friends of Sent Randall appear to tc cviifldcnf. Tbe republicans, knowing that they cannot elect tbe Speaker, are generally favorable to Randall on account of protection theories. But nq|wiUistanding tbe claims of candidates, I happen to know that a large proportion of the mcmberf-elect are still unpledged.' From what I have learned 1 think a free, unliitnpcred vote at this time would result in favor ot Carlisle as first choice, but there is no estimating wbat may be about by combinations and _ promises. Mr. Cox, of New York, who lis, suojc strength, is thought to prefer I nilisle if be cannot win himself. Frrpmralory to the President's coming trip to the Yellowstone Park the 8ignel corps, is about to run a telegraph wire into the park so that omunonlcalioc may be miles a week. It can be connected with the nearest present telegraphic point. Bliss or Fort Washakie, and be completed into live park before August 1, the the trip. Th^ field telegraph wire can follow him front place to place in tbe park, if it should be thought best, with much greater rapidity. With tbe facilities for traveling comfortably, which will be at the President's disposal, no doubt this trip will be s pleasant one, but fur less favored mortals it it at present Hog and tedio s and fraught with many difficulties, to say nothing of tbe great expense. But the park is full of interesting features and wonders, of which 1 may 'the warm fnerrlafiip which exists between General M. C. Butler, Senator from bouth Carolina, and Don Came roc is well in Washington. The southern senator had, until Ihc recent lease of C#mcron> elegant house, s suite of rooms in it, which were as much his as if he, instead of Cameron, owned the house. The republicans have wondered at this intimacy, but not nearly so much as have the democrats. Tha republicans, however, " are ready to bless tbe tie that binds, winterer il is, because it secures than from any political loss in tbe senate through CauiCTon'f absence to Europe. It 'is known, whether that absence be long or sliort, lbs' on all political subjects Butler 1* paired with Cameron. Some of the democratic leaders have' remonstrated with Butler, telling bint that it la bad politics to make such indefinite pairs, but ; he replies that Don may stay as long as lie like*, and be sure that his pair is all ■ right. Senator Butler doubtless reminds himself that if Don Cameron has so willed it. Senator Hampton would have had a [ republican colleague all there six years, for it will be remembered that the repub- ■ lican Senate would have kqit Butler out but for tbe vote of Cameron. " Why doesn't Osineroa resign ?" was asked of ■me of bis closest friends, with the added remark, " There are no more political fish fir hint to catch. He has been everything except President and surely be cannot tic looking forward to that." Tbe ' answer was: "Don il a great deal more anxious to get out of politics than I could ' make you believe ; again and again be - has been on the point of handing in his 1 resignation, and nothing but tbe urgency > of friends has restrained him. As it is, you may depend upon two things— first, s thai be will not, under any circumstances, be a candidate for rc-elcclion, and second, - that be has already retired from active j participation in tbe management of party affairs." " Tben." said I, " What is the t real reason of Don's holding out to the sc tutorship ?" My informant hesitated a momciiMmd^UieD ^replicd, " WcU^you 1 unless they are Id office." The point of this will be seen by those who know that 1 tbo maiden name of Don's brilliant wife J was Sherman. Pitoso.
