CHADSEY‘s HEYVENuE.

When | Ralph Chadsey proposed to Helen Grantham and was refused, he was a very angry man. | He knew that he was homely, ignorant and awkward, that his tastes were not refined, and that his home circle was not ong in which a lady could be happy; he also knew that Miss Grantham was very ‘pretty, accomplished and the inmate of a home which every one delighted to visit. | But he was equally certain that he was the sole owner of a small factory that yielded him several thousand dollars per year, and be had been taught to believe that no faults of birth, edu. cation or manners would prevent a man of means marrying into any family that bad little or no money. Miss Grantham‘s refusal therefore: amazed him, and as, thanks to generations of mean ancestors, he recognized no rights but his own, and had never experienced the faintest throb of chivalrous feeling, he soon came to hate Miss Grantham as much as he had loved her, and when‘the young woman soon afterward accepted and married Frank Hatcher, the rejected lover swore he would have revenge on both Helen and ber husband. | In any one but a brute the desire for revenge would soon have been gratified by the experiences of Mr. and Mrs. Hatcher, for Frank, although one of the charming fellows whom all women adore, had in business but little stability and shrewdness. — He made bad debts for his employers, spent bis salary before he earned it, and ran so heavily into debt that bis brightness and his wife‘s bloom rapidly disappeared. | Reveral acts of carelessness caused him to lose his situation, and he reached a degree of desperation that would have made almost any vindictive enemy pity him. Just then the Civil War broke out and Frank was lucky enough to obtairi a commission, the income of which ‘brought comfort to his wife and baby. But even in the army his carelessness got him into many misfortunes the last of which was that he lost his life by not exhibiting proper vigilance at an outpost. —

On hearing of Hatcher‘s death all his | creditors forgave him and tendered their sympathies to his wife; but Chadsoy, instead of burying his hate in the dead soldier‘s grave, felt more vindictive than ever. | It seemed to him that his opportunity had escaped him, so he added intensity to his hatred and heaped all up on the dead man‘s memory. Helen bravely endeavored to earn a living for herself and child, and Chadsey took a room from which he could see her every cold, wet morning as she hurried to the store in which she stood all day as a raleswoman. Now, be fully believed she regretted having ‘rejected him; now he could not doubt she would gladly accept him were he to propose, ‘The thought gave him the most blissful sensation of his life, and he swore to himself that he would rather dis a thousand deaths than let her see a penny of his money. whom Hatcher had left when he went to the war grow rapidly, and was as mischievous as boys in general. He had his fair proportion of quarrels with other boys in the village, and Chadsey sometimes was delighted beyond measure by the spectacle of little Frank beIng severely pounded by a larger boy. Clisdsey was also pleased on recogniz= | ing on the boy, from time to time, oloth=

mnunmenenpmnmetmnnngntemennineimnmeeepeeeneee led by a coarse laugh, but the object of it did not wince, for he took in earnest what was meant for fun. | Waiting for him! Was that the reason she always passed his lodgings on her way to her work? Was it to affect him to tenderness that she wore expressions sweet, pathetic, romantic, or melancholy, all of which Chadsey believed were merely ‘"put on"‘ for use out of doors? — Well, she might wait; be could stand it as long as she, and he would rejoice to see her grow gray with longing. Meanwhile little Frank grow in character as well as inches, and determinAng oneday that his mother should not work any longer, he secured a position with a firm in which Chadsey was a sident partner. Chadsey did not learn for a fortnight of what bai happened ; when he found that Mrs. Hatcher was no longer what "be called a common working woman, and that he himself was one of her son‘s employers, he was furious and demanded that the boy be discharged; but his partners outvoted him for their new clerk, being liked by every one was worth far more than he cost them. Although baffied, Chadsey was not beaten. — He felt that the boy was to some extent in his power, so he gratified his vengeful spirit from time to time by scolding the new clerk on slight pretexts. He soon found that this course was not safe, for the boy had tongue as well as spirit, and he occasionally retorted in a style that turned. the laugh on the special partner. | Then Chadsey determined to disgrace him and thus strike his mother. It would not be hard to do; the old trick of putting marked money, from the cash drawer into the young clerk‘s pocket would answer every purpose, so he adopted it. Then there was a terrible scene in the store, and Mrs. Hatcher, with tears in her eyes, hurried up to plead for her boy. Chadsey had expected this with great glee, but before Mrs. Hatcher arrived the boy bad pleaded his own case to his employers with such spirit that the special partuer had turned pale and walked aside into a wareroom, where oue of the men heard him mutter"His mother‘s eyes! He has his mother‘s eves!" Nevertheless, — Chadsey, before abruptly quitting the store, had insisted that the case against the bey should be pressed. His partners, who had their suspicions as to how the marked money came in Frank‘s pocket, assured Mrs. Hatcher that they believed there must be some mistake, that they would not think of roaking the affair public, but that Mr, Chadsey, their special partner, insisted on it.

*‘Then," said Mrs. Hatcher, turning very pale, "I must appeal to Mr, Chadsey. **You?" exclaimed one of the partners, so surprised that he gave a customer too much change; "you appeal to Mr. Chadsey?" ‘Certainly," said Mrs. Hatcher, turmning to leave the store. ‘Excuse.me, madam," said the partner, ‘but, in that case, I must accompany you. ° It may be necessary to reason with that fellow by knocking him down." ‘The couple went together to Chadsey‘s lodgings, but could not gain ad: mittance to his room, the door of which was locked, although the servant insisted that Mr. Chadsey had come in an bour before and had not gone out again. ‘Ha‘s a coward!" exclaimed the partner, hammering at the door, and calling Chadsey by name. — Finally the door yielded to an extra effort, and the couple entered. No one was visible,

‘This is very strange," said the part: ner, looking about the room. Then, as he looked at somes papers on the table, he continued, no it isn ‘t, either-look at this." Mrs. Hatcher took a sheet of paper which the partner handed her, and read : . "I put the marked money in Frank I did it to a myself upon his mother, but be has / mother‘s eyes. "Rapra Cnanary." Mrs. Hatchers eyes filled with tears, #p that for a moment or two she could. not read a second sheat that was placed ‘in her hands, so ber companion read it gud to her: it wasa will, which, in a

The Coronation Proclamation. 1

The proclamation of the Coronation of the Czar of Russia, was the event of the 24th of May, in the Streets of Moscow. — The proclamation by the heralds that the coronation of the Emperor had been fixed for Sunday at the Cathedral of the Assumption is one of the most interesting spectacles as far as the public are concerned, they being absolutely shut out of view whatever of the coronation ceremonies, _ In the spadb between the Senate House and the Arsenal as early as eight o‘clock a large num» ber of people had assembled. | The place was kept clear by mounted and {gat police, who discharged their duties with good temper, but there was no attempt to preserve order when the heralds threw copies among the specta- | tors. _ The wonder was that those who happily caught copies flying through the air were not torn in pieces by those less fortunate, -- First the troops arrive ed, 200 Gardes-u-cheval, or Emperor‘s Guard, in white tunics with silver hel- | mets and breastplates and red laces with pennons. ‘Them came one of the most curious parts of the | procession-twelve led horses, | beautiful animals, perfectly white, caparisoned in a gorgeous fashion their whole body, neck and tail enclos ed in a housing of yellow silk emblazonad with the imperial eagles, national colors and curious devices, -- This cloth was drawn off at each leg, terminating in golden tassels. — On their heads were lumes of white ostrich feathers. Each rse was led by two grooms, a thind walking by its side. The men wore high boots and splendid dresses of black and gold, — At no previous proclamation had there been more than six. — On the present occasion six formed part as representing the dignity of the Emperor and six the Empress. | While the crowd was patiently waiting the arrival of other treops and the approac‘s of the heralds, Prince Vladimir drove past in an open | carriage. — The | Emperor‘s guards shouted, "Good health to you!" Soon after — two — hundred | Clevalier Guards, or regiment of the Empress, rode to the ground in splendid uniforms, which differ slightly from those of the Emperor‘s regiments. | The helmets have golden eagles and large pennons of blue. — Between the squadrons of the two regiments there was ar interval for the heralds and musters of ceremonies to take up their positions, — When they appeared there was the greatest excitment among the crowd. _ Half a dozen mounted gendarmes rode among the people to clear the space. The two heralds were remarkably fine men. — They wore magnificent tabarcs, as if kings or princes themselves . At first sight one was irresistibly remnided of Henry VIIL, as pictured at the meeting with the French King on the Field of the Cloth of Gold. — ‘Their yellow silk tabards looked like a mass of id. On their breasts was the large inperial walt worked in imperial colors, and a head dress of white velvet, and turned up cap, with hang: umes of the imperial colors, road buff top boots. | Their horses had white — trappings, | with — emblazoned eagles and the imperial colors. . They were accompan by six. masters of ceremonies in full gold laced uniforms with the Sec of the Holy Synod apd the other officials in court dress. The Secretary of the Holy Synod; wih another court functionary, rode out in front of the line. For a moment he was interrupted by the horse of one of the heralds which suddenly became restive. _ With the greatest difficulty the rider kept his seat. . Some ofticers luckily closed arund to prevent his being thrown. — Certainly that would have the ceremonies, At last the clock struck nine and the proclamation was read for the first time, beer an unfortunate commencement of

Hes My Husband:

Boon after we left Meridian, on the way | across to Vicksburg, a solemnooking old chap came into the smoker ind groaned and sighed and took on ike a man terribly distressed, and when we maked him where he seemed to feel 1 the worst, he replied: ‘Gentlemen, there is a powerfully rowd-looking young oman in the next ar, and she bas fallen into the bands f a human hyena." "No!" shouted three og four voices it once. ‘Yes, indeed. | He‘s a wickedlookng wolf in sheep‘s clothing. | If 1 mis? &ke not, he represents some New Engand machinery house, — He‘s a squeezng of ber hand. and & whispering of his love, and the giddy thir thas fallen right into the trap. — I couldn‘t bear to see it any longer, and so I came here. Gentlemen, some of you have daughters P" Yas, there were three: of us who had daughters ranging from 2 to 7 years old, and we were honest enough to admit it. ‘Just think of your daughters being kayjoled by a Philistine!" he continued. — " He‘s talking and fatiering and promising, and she‘s somebody‘s daughter. Gentlemen, something orter be did 1" We agreed, — We all lounged in and saw that she was s good-looking, hap py-faced girl of 2, and we returned and held an indignation meeting. | After a fine display of eloquence and oratory it was unanimously agreed that if the masher got off at Jackson, where we were to wait twenty: imninutes, the good oid man should go in and tell that girl what was what. | Jackson was finally reached, and sure enough the human hyena got off and ran into the hotel. — He was not out of sight when we all entered the car, and the philanthropist took a seat beside the girl and began : "W -what do you mean ?" she faltered. "I mean that the villain who left you a moment ago is seeking to ensuare you." "The v-villain‘‘ "Yes, ma‘am, the wolf in sbeep‘s clothing-the hyena in human formnthe scoundrel whose very look proves the vileness of his heart. I warn you to beware of him as you would of a serpent." *‘Why, he‘s-he‘s my husband"‘ she shouted at the top of her voice, and next instant she had ber fingers paying through his venerable locks and excavating channels down his wrinkled cheeks. All of us got away at last and found hiding places in the baggage and nail cars-all but the old man. When he managed to get clear of the bride he slid off the car and took a bee-line up town, and though he met several people while in sight of us, we couldn‘t see that he stopped to answer any questions,‘

The Care Chantant In Spain.

We visited one or two of the cafes chantants of Malaga, as they may be called by courtesy, for anything less like singing never was heard. . We went out of curiosity, and were satisfied once and forever with the pitiful sights and sounds. On a raised plat form six or eight women, coarse, bold, and painted, sat in a semi-circle. A man in the centre extemporized, as they termed it, surrounded by these satellites, whose part seemed to be toapplaud him with stampings, castanets,and loud shoutings whenever his inspiration failed him, brought him to a full stop and caused a gap in the performances. ~The man‘s part was the worst of all, His face was impossibly d , bardly human. | He sat and howled. dwelling upon one note until the yeins swell ed in his neck, and he grew almost black in the face, and his od h fad and one wondered why he did not to the ground in a fit.

What sort of a dog do you call that?" inquired a reporter of a plentyoftimeand -nothing-to-do-with-it sort of a persou, who, with a bruce of dogs, had over — taken him on the Kingsbridge road. "I reckon you‘! never gues," said the Virginian. | ‘"He ain‘t a pointer a setter. — He might be taken for a Spitz, but be ain‘t; and, to come right to the point. he‘s a snake dog, and, I reckon, the only one in the United States. I raised him down yonder in Cul County, Virginuy; and talk snakes‘ why, just look at him at the ¥ery mention of the werd." The little dog bad certainly | been seized with what the reporter judged from | personal experience to be a regular Virginia chill. — Hisears stood erect, and every lash of his tail nearly threw him out of plumb. "Just come over youder on the hill side," continued the owner, "and see what he‘s good for." — The fol lowed him over the fence, the little dog leading and making for a slight declivity covered with rocks. ‘‘That‘s a likely spot for bis game," laughed the owner. In a moment the excited animal was tearing away at the stones, uttering short yelps, while his companion, a fine fox bound, stood by looking stolidly on. | Tha small dog soon struck hard pan, judging from the noise, and out writhed a goodly-sized garter snake. The next moment the reptile wus ten feet in the air, and the tosser, bracing himself. giabbed it by the neck as it came down. | Then ensued a wrestling that defies description. | He shook the snake so that be lashed hG own sides unmercifully, a proceeding that seemed only to enrage him the more. Now be was thrown off his feet, lying on bis side; now be was rolling in and out among the rocks, velping, sporting aud throwing the gruvel about, while his master danced around in delight,and the big fox bound bayed in evident rapture. The suake, though a good-sized one;, stood this treatment about t wo minutes, and gave out. Then the dog carefully crunched every rib and bone of the snake, down to the tail, laid the defunct reptile at his master‘s feet, made bis how diye," and looked again at the heap of stones with an cage air. | ""Shake ‘emm out," said the owner, and for half an hour the black bunch of dog. flesh literally waked snakes in that locality, and killed six of the reptiles that had been aroused from their winter sleep. "Oh, he‘s a caution to snakes," said his owner, tossing the dog a lump of sugar; but these snakes don‘t show him up, though. — You ought to see him tackle a moceasin. Nee this collar? Rattles? | Sure‘s your born. That collar represents the last of five rattle agakes tossed in Culpepper County; and talk of moccasin‘ he‘s at home with a nest of therm. "©

*When did he develop the taste?" "From birth. 1 reckon; but he knock. ed around my place for a vear before I fairly sized him up. We considered him of no account, but one day a cireus came along with one of these yere snake charmers, and the girl ‘lowed ber snake hadn‘t eaten for six months. | The long and short of it was she offered a dollar for the pup, and 1 made the sale, declining the invite to see the fun, as she led the feeding." — Wall," continued the Virginian with a roar of laughter, in which the little dog joined hed showing his teeth. "the next morning looked out of my window at sunrise, and there a-rushing through my simlin patch was that yere snake charmer. | She came up all a-standing under the window, and I‘m doggoned if she didn‘t tongue-ash me till I- ‘lowed 1 hed . _ She had a dead boaconstrictor about ten feet long over ber arm, which she wanted me to come down and pay for. | Bat I didn‘t, t she sued me for selling ber a wild . as she walled him, but it didn‘t cost me a picayune. You see, she chucked the dog in, and, as I beard from a candy butcher, she hadn‘t loosed her hold before the dog had the snake for all he was worth.
