■ “They are perfect daisies!” “I soe nbltdaisica” remarked the middle-ageI

lady, stonily regarding the enthusiast! sohool|-girL “I see three elegant bod qnets, one of crimson roses, one |

prehensions, you act in this playfully'| sensible manner! But here comes Mil- I lie. I will take this little messenger to

my room atid rehearse my reply iu private. Ha! ha!”• “Ha! ha!” echoed Miss Madge, turn

ing to receive a peniteiifhug from Millie, and assure her of entire forgiveness, even, iu the fulness of her heart, promising .that wayward child innumerable parties after she had eschpwed all her foolish ways, and learned fio imitate her staid and dignified aunts in all particulars. :

Meanwhile, the widow was reading witbggratiiiod countenance and running comments:—

‘‘Mr t)Ai6uxG:—Rijad in these flowers my love for you, wliieb, it seems, I am never to obtain mi opportunity of declaring unheard by tin' two dragons who' always accompauv you.” (“Naughty boy! He must not call poor Millie und Madge,: such hard names!” “But vou know ft, despite your sweet, maddening inclif- fereuce, and some time I will even dare hope it is returned.” (“Dear James!”) / ‘Darling, will you be my wife?” (“Of course I will!”) “1 dare not'hope your attendant dragons will allow you to answer this as J could wish. Doa:t frowrn̂ dearest; I respect and conciliate them for your, sake. As a reward, I must have mv answer to-morrow. I am aware that you accompany the dr—forgive me!—your friends for a walk ev r̂y afternoon in Scottish Park, You know the Oak Tree Bench, the Jong, rustic, seat divided cxllctly In the middle by an immense, vine draped oak? I will be there from three- ddll four o'clock. If you can come and give my answer from your own sweet lips.I shall lie the happiest of men. If this cannot be, I shall, kiiow the answer is *ves’ if you pass by attired in the dark blue walking 6Uit I admire so much, with three roses, two pink; que white, pinned upon the right lapel of your jack e t. Thb hours wifl cree'p. oh! so slowly, until then.'? * “James.”

“Now, isn’t t)iai just, like a man?” twittered the widAw, "He calls my green walking-suit ‘blue.’ However, it happens that my new suit, which arrives to-dayis. blue. I will dress as he requests, weimantic botl! and be there, before lie comes, to give him a delightful surprise, and prove that, although always accompanied by Madge and Millie, I am mistress of my time, if I choose. He must never betray lliis little romance to those girls. Mildred has such a way of turning everything into ridicule! It might accord.' with m yoft-repeated precepts.’].;:

Smiling blandly, the lady laid the note upon fieri dres-ing-easo, nnd ordering tlie carriage,, was soon immersed iu a solitary jshopping expedition; and witli commendable prudonoo slio remembered 'ltd make her purchases witli reference1 to a certain auspicious event in the near future.

Scarcely had thn carriage driven away when Miss Madge entered the room 'toth energetic step and frowning brow.

“She has gone.” she exclaimed angrily,” without evpn informing me of tlie contents of a missive so important to my happiness! Because she is two years my senior, sho need not treat me as if I were a child like Millie. All!”‘ Her eye rested upon the note, -and she was soon perusing it with comments very similar to those made during the: previous reading, after wjiieh she kissed it sentimentally, and laiiPit carefully ill its place.,

“I see naw,” she mused*. “Ajmn ! feared 1 might be foolish enough to accede to his request. The naughty* boy should know that he can see me alone by simply comingAo thg house —but—it is-very romantic! If it, were* not for my.-sulmonitions aud example to Mill's. Perhaps Anna was justly off nded a^'ifindtng herself and the ehdd called dragons. Gf course, be did not mean it—but—well—certainly I would never consent to such a foolish thing. B u t—”

She seated herself upoQ the farther end of tlie same bench. The two were screened from each other by tlio, immense .vine-draped oak. It was a secluded jilace, far from the main thoroughfare. half way down a grassy slope, shut in by vines and trees -A few feet] away ran a narrow path, and shortly after three o'clock the occupants of the seat heard steps approach-

\,-| ICHAPTEIt II;

Twenty minutes before threo the following afternoon,- M ilie stood before her glass adjusting a plumey white hat over her fluffy ha l*. Two wide brown eyes gazed -inquiringly at the lovely reflection in the mirror.

“Mildred Travis,” she declared solemnly, “during the last four-nnd-twen- tiy hours this castle has been pervaded l>v an air of deep and gloomy mystery! Your respectable aunts have glided around with smiles of hidden meaning upon their sinister lips, and havo dropped their pends in conscious guilt when they) met your stern, accusing gaze. And nbw, at the hour of our daily promenade, they come separately, evidently avoiding ono another and tender excuses for non-attendance which it wqu)d be base flattery to call lanie—crutches would not hold them up; and they have both slipped from -the house, hurridly. mysteriously, and walked rapidly away, at diffhredt times and in opposite directions. I ' fear thbse giddy young things have been led into a flirtation with tbe handsome policeman at the corner; I must look after them. But in tbe meantime” — with a glad sigh of pleasure—‘T will enjoy one. hour of liberty, and walk in the park alone."

Fifteen, minutes before three, Mistreat Anna, attired lit a bine dress decorated with a bouquet of roses, two pink, one white, walked rapidly throughS---- - arrived, breathleas and

changed ps they looked agaiu into an gr.v ainajzemein— and something else.

A t all, handsome young man sauntered pest, so engrossed in watching the girl by his side that he failed to observe the two pairs of angry eyes fixed upon them; A lovely young girl she was. Tlie slender figure was clothed in white; she Was swinging a broad, plumey Gainsborough hat iu her hand, and the soft breeze ran riot among the golden hair, tossing it into innumerable, bewildering rings, while the quivering, tender siuile on tlie pretty lips matched the wild-rose flush of her cheeks. Every word they uttered i-ame ’clear and distinct to the two watchers.

“Sor my darling.” tho young man was saving, “you did not receive my note, after all; strange what became of i t ” — „

“The [unseen auditors half arose simultaneously and looked anxiously around, but sank back with oonsterna- tion in their countenances, cold perspiration bedewing their brows.

“Perhaps you put it into the wrong bouquet,” Millie suggested roguishly.,

“Never!” he exclaimed, stopping to press a kiss upon the saucy mouth.“You know I only sent them to conciliate the drag--tliore! don’t frown; I mean .vour dear aunts. How my heart fell to-day, when I saw you dressed in white instead of bine, and not a flower about you except in your sweet face!But it’s all right now, and is •yes.’ after all.”! ' i

He prejssed the yellow head closer to his bosom.

“O James!’’ she whispered. “They will never; never consent!”

•They must and 6hall !” exclaimed James Randolph, raising his head iu vehemej® assertion; then his jaw'drop- ped, an (Tim stood gazing straight before him.) petrified and speechless.

Following Ids look, Millio caught her breath and started. Wlmt sho'Saw. i was her two staid and dignified guardians, whoso nno theme had been the beauj cs of graVe and sober deportment, dressed in the girlish costumo 'planned by this romantic oung lover for herself, even to the.bouquet of pink and white roses; they had evidently been resting upon the identical Oak Tree Bench, but now they carried tlie weak anil.frivolous mockery st 11 farther; for bplh had ar.sun, and stood in exact impation of James Randolph’s attitude, staring stonily from him to one another.

A louff laugh from James aroTised her. -)*

Upon his departure I told her not to -be afraid, that I 'h a d comii to he with her, and that no one should hart or trouolo her.

>d Annual Encampment of the Soldiers' and Sailors’ Association, of Wayne ae*nty, opened Wednesday morH- ingf rather inauspiciously, the, weather being altogether unfavorable. '

Our citizens were prepared, however, to rece|ve those who came in good style.

The committee in! charge of the grounds, did good work, on Tuesday night saw upwards Gillespie was sleeping and slapped rim on the shoulder, claimed him as their prisoner. He was taken from his comfortable quarters and placed under guard, where he paid the penalty of his indiscretion. Of course it was all inaport and lames undoubtedly enjoyed It with the rest- of them. The same performances were gone through at Belleville, last year, only with different parties.

Since the above was put in type we learn that Gillespie was not in bed, but was in hiding behind a door.

Washington has finally, been as the site of the university w many learned and devout 'Catholic clergymen have long to see established in this From various points of view th£ selection is admirable A college tat the Capital of the Natioo cannot jfail to increase the respect felt for the Church among all who visit it-^-that is. if it ea llj is a fine institution, both in its

buildings and faculties. This condition seems to be recognised by the priests, bishops and laymen directly interested in the scheffie, and already nearly a teilliop has been raised to carry'on tho work. The project must have the best wishes not only of Catholics but of tolerant men or all shades of -reigious belief. ’• ■ : ■ ' i ,

A 3BAND CiiLBBBATIOy~The Most Important Event in Ouf

National History.Monster Processions, Receptions, end m

General. GoodThe last centennial of the events of rev

olutionary times 'began in Philadelphia on thejlStn inst. viz: that of the constitutional j centennial. V isitors were present from every state and territory, and many gaests from loreign lands joined Witk*_/ua in coiumenioratiQg the one hundredth anniversary of the signing or our Magna Chart*. Shortly after 10 o’clock on the morning of the 15th, the grand procession Btarted, and the 6cene at the reviewing stand was a grand one, the gay toilets of the ladies and children adding beauty to the mag nificent decorations.

The const.tutional centennial commission was officially represented on the grand stand by Hon. John A. Kasson, president; Hon. AmosR. Little, chairman of the executive committee; Hampton L. Carson, secretary; >. Carroll Brewster, jr., corresponding secretary, and assistant secretary Black, lhe central portion of the stand was reserved for the governors of the states with their staffs. On this stand were also senators and representatives in congress, the commissioners of the various states and territories,. 33 of whom were* present, the-diploma tic corps, the foreign consuls, and especially invited guests «f the commission. Section B contained distinguished Visitors.

The monster civic and industrial parade, illustrating the advancement of the indus trim arts apd sciences during the psst century, it is believed, fairly eclipsed anything of the Kind ever known. There were in the line 8Q0 floats, each bearing a representation of some particular ’branch of industry, 12,030 men, 3,C00 horses and 150 bands of music.

At the head of the column rode Col. A. Louden Snowden, chief marshal, and his staff of 50 aids. Directly behind- tnem: was the^United States marine band, and followed by a grand banner, .representing Columbia: pointing to the past with one hand, and with the other to the present*, the formejjr being represented by old implements and the latter by those of to-day.

TLe display from this point was divided into ~8 divisions. The honor of heading the first division was givemto the Sons of America, who presented a beautiful display.

Amid the gav holiday attire of the streets there was' nothing' more conspicuous and artistic than the three triumphal arches than spanned Broad and Lbestnut-sts. The Brood-st. arch was almost opposite the main reviewing stand, which was occupied by the president And his party.. It was 60 teet high, springing from each curb.; of plain semi-circular form and segmented on the south side with illuminated shields of the 83 states, and on the north with the names of the states, the shield and name of each being back to back. The 13 original states occupied the middle position of the group, and the others were placed alongside in tjhe order in which they came into the uQion. Surmounting the arch was a. mammoth device consisting of an American eagle and a stand of national colon.. In the evening Gov- Beaver held A public reception at the academy of fine arts and shook hands with fully 15,000 people, among whom was President Cleveland,

; Lx-President Hayes and Gen. Sheridan. "The meeting between Gov. Beaver and President Cleveland was singularly cordial.

The Catholic dub tendered a reception to Cardinal Gibbons, which way attended by u large conpourse of prominent people, chief among which were^President Cleveland, Secretaries Bayard and Fairchild. W hen the president and Cardinal Gibbons grasped bands ,the crowds cheered lustily.

The next morning, the 16th, about 9 o’clock the president’s escort reached the hotel, and a ferw minutes later started for the commercial exchange, where a reception was held. The line of march was literally thronged with people who cheered lustily, asf the presidential party passed, and the (arrival ot the party m the exchange was the signal for, repeated cheering.

President Comly of tho commercial ex- changey introduced the president, who said:

1 am glad I have an opportunity to meet so large a representation of the business men,.of Philadelphia, it is well that we should not entirely forget in tue midst of our centennial jubilee that,the aim and purpose of goofi government tend after all the advancement of the material interests of the people, and the increase of their trade und commerce. The thought has sometimes occurred to ma rthat in the hurry and ru?h of business there might well be infused a little more patriotism than we are. wont to see. and a little more recognition of ti e tact that a wnole>ome j ©litical sentiment is.rdosely related not only;*o the general good, but to the general sac -ess of business. Of eoufre our citizens engaged in business, are quick to see the bearing of any policy which any government may adopt, as it effect* their personal success and their accumulation. Liu.t 1 would like to see that broad and patriotic (sentiment among them which can see beyond their peculiar personal interests, and which can recognize the advancement of the entifo countrv as an object for which they may well’ strive, even sometimes to tho airuinutioh of their Constantly increasing prbtits.

Must we alw’ays look: for the political opinions of our.business men precisely where their immediate pecuniary advantage is found.' 1 know how vain it is to hqpe fort.ie eradication of a selfish motive in all the affairs of life; but I am re.rinded that wo celebrate to-dav the triumph of patriotism over. selfishness. Will anyone say that the concessions of the constitution^were not well made, or that we are not to-day in the full enjoyment of the blessings resulting from a due regard for all the .conflicting-'interests represented by the different state* which united a hundred years ago ? if •

1 believe the complete benefits promised: to the people by our form of government can only be seenred by an exercise of the same spirit of toleration fpfr each other’s rights and interests in which it, had its birth. This spirit will prevail when the business men of the country cultivate political thought; when they cease to eschew participation in political action, and when such thought and action are guided by better motives than purely telfish and exclusive benefit. . L

i am ot the opinion that there is no place In the country)v^herb such s condition can be so properly and successfully maintained as here, among, the enlightened and enterprising business men of Philadelphia.

Colored People h i London.Cray ford’s Letter in New York World.

Colored people are apparently very popular in England. There does not seem to be any prejudice against them on account oi their cdfor. There are not many colored people in London. CARPETS, at The few th a t I have seen from time to time are invariably in the company of white people and associating with them upon a footing of perfect equality . I saw the other day upon Regent street a negro girl, blaclf as a coal, walking along, leaning fipoa the arm of a,fashionable, well dressed Englishman who seemed perfectly- charmed and contented with dusky companion. In the same way, I have seen white women, respectable in their appearance and dress, walking in public . . . . .leaning upon the arms of negroes. Fred- \ A / 11,1 I eriek Douglass, when he was here, said there did not seem to be any preju- dice in England against the negro oh account of his color. T he other day I visited the TempIe; there I lonnd a negro hard a t work in the library reading np for an exam ination. .1
