It is indispensable that tho man should be alone, that ho should supper while midnight is striking from the steeple, and that a cover laid opposite him, as for an expected guest. Lord Peregrine was a great be- in old traditions, but no believer in marriage. Ho was too rich and too young to care about encumbering himself with a too good natured to risk break- a pretty heart by his incurable propensity for roving.

Perhaps he had lost some of bis mar- and was wondering what he should do in his own country, among new faces and with no one to care for him. Lord Peregrine looked at his watch.

It was a clear moonlight night, and the bell is at such times distinctly audible over half Paris so Lord Peregrine entered Durand's, site the Madeleine, and ordered supper for two, in a private room, at midnight punctually. The waiter was an old hand at serving midnight suppers for two. monsieur require a he asked, setting forks on the table. why laughed the peer. me a of white if The waiter went out find soon returned to say that tho flower sir attached to the establishment had no white rosebuds at this season of the but had off to tho Passage to sec if any could be procured.

Lord Peregrine dreamed that he tried to run from her. He was awakened by hearing tho door suddenly open, and just at that moment tho stroke of mid- night ahead through the open window. Lord had slept his hour, but remembering the of beginning supper while midnight was striking, he snatched at a roll, broke it, and put a piece in his mouth, then looked up and saw a girl holding out to him a large bouquet of white rosebuds. She seemed to be about and was rather ugly than pretty, if her mere features wore but she had that freshness and expression which Paris- call She smiled and appears I startled ho you, the peer, with his mouth Still full of bread. sister of the flower girl.

The next day Lord Peregrine re- turned to his own land, but he did not that it had unproved in his absence. After a few months he grew moody, and one day set out afresh on his travels, resolving to stay away until he had educated himself to sing in tune with bis countrymen or until they bad got into harmony with him. He stayed away ten years, and when begot back to was nearly years of age and had a black beard about a foot long, but, consistently enough with man nature, he felt younger than when he went away. He was to ask himself whether ho ad spent his manhood to good profit, and was longing to retread the paths of civilization ploddingly and submissively, like the rest of mankind. In pursuance of this desire he asked the waiter at his hotel after dinner whether there was anything doing at the San Carlo, and was told that the songstress, was giving a series of performances there. The waiter went on to explain that la was the arch-songstress of the universe, having been over- whelmed with applause, flowers and gold in Milan, Paris, London and St. Petersburg. She was going to play in that evening, and places were to procure, and it was a benefit and all the seats had been engaged a month beforehand. Lord Peregrine soon proved that nothing is impossible to a man who will pay so pounds for an orchestral stall.

The last thing in the world seemed the coining of a bullet into shade of that caisson. But while I was lying there taking it easy I suddenly heard a sharp just behind my head. It was unmistakably the noise of a bullet hitting something.

The believes that the Magistrates of the county acted wisely in their meeting on by re-establishing the Inferior for Pitt county The with which cases are tried by the Superior Courts, and civil causes there from tens to term without having a hearing, has burdensome to the and numerous complaints have arisen. It is true that since the chair- man of the Board of Magistrates issued his call for the to confer as to the advisability of re- establishing the Inferior Court, a bill has been put through the Legislature increasing the number of Superior Courts from four to five each year, and making two of these Courts for the trial of civil causes only. This bill was not petitioned for by the people of the county, nor does the change it provides for give satisfaction to the masses. Five Superior Courts a year would prove a heavy bur- den upon the tax payers of the county, and knowing that the In- Courts car. be conducted at much less expense, the action of the Magistrates shows that they have the best interest of the county at heart. They provided for three terms of the Inferior Court, and passed a resolution that the Gen- Assembly abolish two of Superior Courts which their form- bill provided for, and make the remaining three Superior Courts for the trial of both criminal and civil causes. The Magistrates set the times for holding the Inferior Courts in February, August and November, and if the Legislature acts upon the resolution they send up which have no doubt they will Superior Courts will be held in March, September and December. The wisdom of this arrangement can be seen at a glance. The Inferior Courts com- just a mouth before the Courts will dispose of all the minor criminal clean out tho jail, and leave the Superior Courts with only the graver and the civil causes. Then if the Superior Courts per- form their duty as well as the In- Courts will do, the dockets of Pitt county will be found up all the while, and the vexations arising from tho delays and crowded dock- will be removed. However, there are a few op. posed to the re-establishing of the Inferior Court, are declaring that tho action of the Board of Magistrates is they had no right to assemble them- selves without being ordered to do so by the Board of County Com- missioners. By this they kept some of the Magistrates from at- tending the meeting Saturday, and since they see that enough came anyway to establish the court they are trying to cry it down by the same talk. Tho Be- is not up on legal matters, but when it is remembered that Board of Magistrates makes the Board of County Commissioners, it looks like the creating power ought to have the right to if desired without getting orders to do so from the object created. But if the action of the Magistrates is not legal, as some assert, it can be made so in very short order. Just let the tare go right ahead and abolish the two terms of Superior Court, as the Board of Magistrates have re- quested them to do, then let the Board of Commissioners at their next meeting, if it is deemed necessary, issue their official call to the Magistrates to meet and ratify what they did last Saturday.

It also declined to concur in the Senate amendment to the bill pro- persons calling them- selves detectives from carrying concealed weapons.

It is stated that Mr. Harrison received assurances before the was sent to the Senate t it would be ratified, and he so easy about it that he has gone shooting, to remain until next week. It is, of course, for the Democratic Senators to prevent action on the treaty at this session, but there are so many of them who have committed f selves in its favor that it is not very probable. The official announcement f the selection of four members of C eve- land's cabinet has been much talked about since it was received. Mr selection was known before and had been received by Democrats in Congress. Judge Gresham's is admitted by all, but his De- isn't, and for that reason his selection, as Secretary of State, was not received with as much favor as was that of Dan Lamont needed no introduction to the Democrats in Congress, all of whom expect to prove a model Secretary of War and are glad that he is to up Mr. is not widely known among public men, but those who do know him speak in such high terms of both his ability and his Democracy that his selection to be Postmaster General meets with much The have been and are still trying to use Judge Gresham as a lever to create in the ranks of the Democratic party, but they are meeting with poor success. No good Democrat is foolish enough to expect that every man selected as a member of the cabinet will be his personal choice for the place. Every student of history knows that circumstances have quite as much, and often more, to do with the choice of members of the net than the personal inclinations of the President, to say nothing c f other of the party. The advantage of having clear- headed business men in Congress was never more conspicuously brought out than when Senator Brice in a five-minute talk explain- ed what would be the stratus of the stock issued by the Nicaraguan canal company, in case the bill now pending guaranteeing the in- on of bonds to be issued, becomes a law. Before Mr. Brice made his statement Sen- Sherman and Teller had got into a dispute in which both used words which meant are a but the statement was so clearly made that further mis- understanding was impossible- It was Mr. Brice's first speech in tho Senate. Although this bill now has the right of way in the Senate as the no one seems to expect that it will not be voted on in the House, even if passed by the Senate. the House, has made rapid headway with the appropriation bills this week, and unless something now unexpected shall transpire to prevent they will all disposed of well in advance of the day of adjournment. There was some talk early this week of another attempt to bring about compromise silver but the suspicion that New York bankers are trying to bring about a financial scare for that purpose makes it almost certain that nothing will come of it Sec Point.

C, Feb. Mr. Harrison may have the best of motives for the manner in which he acted about the annexation of Ha- bat there is something about it which in another man would have been called sharp practice. The impression was allowed to go out that if annexation was re- commended it would be by act of Congress, which would give the House as much say about it as the Senate. But this week he sent a treaty which the Secretary of State had negotiated with the Hawaiian Commissioners, providing for mediate annexation and leaving the legislative details to be ranged by the next Congress, to the Senate, urging in the special message which went with it that tho treaty be promptly ratified. It is argued in favor of this rail- business that it was too late in the session to get on the subject, and that it was necessary to take Much action. Democrats in the House fall to see the point in such an argument. Many of them are strongly in favor of annexation, bat they can see no good reason, so long as the matter will have to be completed under President Cleveland's ad- ministration, why it was not left for his administration to begin it. Granting that to do it by treaty and not by an act of Congress was the best way, there is no getting around the fact that within two weeks the Senate of the Fifty- third Congress will be in extra session for the purpose of confirm- Mr- Cleveland's nominations Tone We see that some of our State exchanges have been by the Rod Publishing of Chicago.
