My Lady Coquette ." Going abroad. Fr «d? Why, what
does that moan ? When I last saw yousuch an idea was furthest from yourthoug ht*, and here you give me twent y-four hours ' notice of your departu re onon indefinite tour. "
The speaker , a tall , splendid-lookingman , opened his dark eyes in unfei gnedsurprise as they rested on the face of hisfriend .
"I 've hardl y given myself more thantwent y-four hours ' notice, Max. Ofcourse , it's a nudden notion , but to yon,the oldest and best friend I have in theworld, I may as well own the truth ,thoug h you need imagine it no secret.A very large portion of the fashionableworld thoroug hly understood my motives.I'm hard hit . Max, and I' ve got to goaway. I want to feel an ocean rolls be-tween me and the woman who has jiltedmo ''
" Ji lted you!"••Yts , jilted me. It' s not a pretty
word , but I'm not in a frame of mind tolook throu gh the dictionary for anotherthat means the same thing. - I loved NoraFielding with a love you cannot evendimly comprehen d- -you , who have livedfor more Ihun tuirty years unmoved byany woman 's beauty, unlhiillod by anywoman 's voice. I hud some ren sou Godkuows , for deemin g my love returned.She smiled on me as only uoulloss womencan smile ; she seemed glad when I came,sorry when I left .her. Yet, when movedto madness , I put my love into words ,she smiled still, and told me that my lovewas folly. Of course , I should at thatmoment have scorned, despised her. SoI did, perhaps ; but it made my love nonethe less, my suffering no whit the easier.I can 't descri be hir to you, Max, I thinkshe might entrap you in her meshes."
" A coquette entrap mo ! No. no. myboy ! Forewarned , forearmed. Supposewe have a little trial of skill—I and thisslayer of men's hearts. You've left herat the beach , have you not ? I was justcontemp lating a little tri p seaword.What do you say, old fellow!"
" You may make the attempt , Max,right willingly ; but don't let the flamescorch yon , in breathing it for my sake.Make ber suffer , but see to it that sheentails no pain on you. ''
" Yon forgot my boy, that you havebequeathed to me your scorn , but carryyour love with you. Bory it at sea, Fred ,and start fresh on the other side. I'lltake care of my Lad y Coquette on thisside."
Tho next afternoon , standing <n thepier Max Elliott watched disappear downtho bay tho bravo ship on which FredIlonalds was passenger for the OldWorld—a self-made exile for a woman 'ssake.
An honest bitterness welled up iu MaxElliott' s heart as ho turned away. Betterthnn he had ever loved a woman , he hadloved this man , who had been the play-thing of a woman 's idle hour , wLo hadhud his honest love tossed back lo himas though it were tho foam upon a wave ,mid who had been driven lo other laudsto find the cure in absence mid percbanoeforgo t fuliiosH.
When his broug ham stopped in frontof his club , ho glanced at his watch. Itwas a sultry afternoon in Jul y. The citywas growing unendurable , and therewonld be barel y time to hastily pack avalise and catch tha six o'clock boatwh'ch would transport hi n to cool bre ez-es, tho promises of a sea-bath , and—h isrevenge 1
Such a thoug ht was worthy to bo actedupon ( therefo re , tho next morning. MaxElliott' s name npp avod npon tho OceanHouse register ; to bo geotod by an ap-proving chorus of welcome from the dearlive hundred fiiond s alread y gatheredthere .<
As by natural instinct , ho found binway to Mrs. lied fern 's side. Groatfriends 11s ho and George Hodforn wore ,he and Ge orge Hodforn 's «ifo wore bet-te r.
" What has broug ht yon hero 1" shennlied , with.a quizzical omi' o,
" Is not your presence a suflioiont mag-net for a loss attractive place?" ha re-plied , gallantl y.
She shook her head"Of course i hut I' ve boon moping
hero for a fortnight , and have sent younnmbtr loBS messages by George , all ofwhio h you have repudiated. Yon don 'tdoRoivo that I should offer you any kind-ness in return , and I' va a great mind notto present you to Nor.* Fieldin g to day.Ah. you sue bow easily I have gui eoed yoursecret. I >iaw Itonald 'a name , this morn-ing, in the list of passengers on theSoythia. Of couruo ho told you howbadl y ho wan cut up.

" Tr .iut a woman to defend a womanwhon a jealousy in not possible to either ,"nniiwer oil Max , " For my part, I regardMiss Fielding nu utterl y heartlo an uml alliit. "
"Jnclgo not , thai yo bo not judged ,"replied the prett y litilo matron. " Yen,that in she," she added , notini ; how thomau 'i) oywi dilated an a tall, olomlui' tlj inre,draped iu clone , clinging white swept outof tho open door on tho pinr.ru.

Only to him who knew it to bo actingwaij there involved no danger. Bnt masho, intrenched in his own fortress , makingthe girl feelf Was he gaining the powerto make her suffer 1 Once his, he wouldemploy it ruthlessl y, but first ho mustknow that he possessed it Sometimeshe turned in a moment from warmth intocoldness.- She made co comment on hischange of mood. Sometimes ho feignedindifference to her pr esence—indifferentstill , when the other moths, kept in abey-ance by his superior strong hold, flutteredround the candle ; but , eave by a littletired loot, he saw from his covert anddistant observation in her eyes, she wel-comed his return to her , all unquestion-ing his absence. He found himself grow-ing iirilated) almost angry .
¦'• Will you drive with me this after-noon f" she asked him Ibi s morning.
" Yes;" he rep lied.And at fivo o'clock , a perfect little trap
stood waiting its mif tress " occupancy—the horses pawing impatiently, while thegrooms held tluir licud s, and he, loung-ing near , waiticg Miss Fielding 's advent
Fifteen , twenty minute i passed , andshe did not com.!. The half-hour hadstruck before , with h busty apology forher delay, she took her seat, and gather-ing up the reins in her little gloved hand ,gave the ponies an impatient touch of thewhip, which made the groom 's scramblefor hip place behind almost a Waterloo.
Max , quickl y observing her. noted thather face was unusuall y pale , and althoug hthere was no redness about her eyes, hecould h»ve fancied there had been recenttears there. However , she talked merrilyand brightly, as was her wont , and soonthe sea air broug ht back the color to hercheek , and chased the latent look of sad-ness from her eyes.
" What a lovely sky," she exclaimed, asa sudden tarn iu the road broug ht themin full view of sky and ocean , and at thatmoment the sunset gun boomed from thefort.
The horses made a sharp swerve. Theroud was very narrow , witti largo bould-ers on. either side. ' Almost before anyone could realize how or when it wasdone, the wheel ,of the phaeton had struckone of these , and the girl totall y unpre-pare d to : resist the shook, was thrownheavil y to the ground. Almost as rap id-ly,' Max was beside her.
For the instant he thoug ht her dead.Her head had struck a small stone, anda tiny stream of blood was tiickling fromher temp le, making her pallor moreghastl y. The thought that she might bedead came to him with a sickening awful-ness. Death and this bri ght , : beautifulbeing seemed so. wide asunder ; and yetin a moment , perhaps , they had beenuni' ed : bnt almost with the dreadful fearciuno its relief.
S!io opened tho lovely eyes, and thowhite lips quivered , while she mode afeeble motion to rise. He drew a brand yflask from his pocket , and made her drink;then when she had grown a little stronger , ho lifted her into the carriage , andsupporting her with one aim , drove slow-'ly home.
As they approached the hotel she colledstrength into action , and gaining tho firstentrance , escaped with but little assist-ance into tho house. By mutual consentthey made no mention of tho accicent.
For a day or so she was confined toher room , but when she ronppeared, savethat she was a little paler , she had neverbefore looked more lovely.
" I thenk you so much , Mr. Elliott , foryour kind cure of mo," she said , as theystood together on the moonlit piazza.
" Do not mention it ," bo anuworodcoldly.
These past few days had been filled toa strange experience. His revenge hadKrown distasteful to him ho told himself.It could not mend Fred' s broken heart ,and his own could only har bor scorn.
Tho next week hnsaw hut little of MissFielding. Ho avoided hor whenever hocould do no, although ho noticed sho wongrowing wan and palo.

Priests On Strike.
MANY WEEKS IN WHICH TDEItE WEBE NEIT HEEMAEBIAOES NOB CHBISTENIN OS.
Constantino ple, March 81, 1885 —Strikes occur often enough in the West,yet I doubt whether one of such a novelchaiacter has ever taken place as thatwhioh has just run its eonrse in Bul garia.The whole of the parish priests simul-taneously struck work throug hout Bul-garia and for several weeks, away frossthe larger towns , there was no gettingchristened , married or buried. The rea-son for this unwonted and very uncioricalattitude was the stoppage of their stipendon the part of the government , on theplea that they were violating the con-ditions upon which they were being paid .Waen Bulgaria firs t started to ran alone ,wishing to emulate greater countries , itwas decided by those who shaped thegovernment that tho clergy abouM bepaid by the State , so that tfioy should bono longer dependent npon the offeringsol tho people. It was understood that theywore to receive no foes for tho perfor-mance of their duties. It was found ,however , tha t, while taking pay from thegovernment with tho one band , they weresqueezing the villages quite as much' asever with the' other. No ono who hasnot lived among tho Bulgarian peasantrycan form an idea of tho bigotry andsuperstition with which their sluggishminds nro overlaid and the power enjoy-ed by tho ptiontu. Tho government , find-ing that tho measure ol relief "intendedhad failed to hit tho mark , stru ck outfrom tho last budget Iho item lor themaintenance of tho rural clergy, with therenult aforementioned. Tlio people sidedwith tho priests , as migh t have been ex-pected , and tho crisis terminated in thodefeat of tho Bulgarian government andtho payuiH .pt of the allowances as before.

Tribune of the Ifith inotThere is one mistake iu it howorer, andthat is as to tho whaling ship .John Jaybring ing General Lafayette to this OonntyIt was the Cadmus, another whaler ofthis part , which bad that distingarabe dhonor , prior io ber coming ' hero -co awhale r. Both the John Joy and tho Cad-mus were whalers from this port ; bothwent to California in the - early days ofthe gold fever ; and while tho.- bones olthe John Jay lie,in Oakland -harbor ,those of the Cadmus rest at San Prsu-chico.—Ed.
Mr. Harwood wan bom in Nova Scotia,December 10, 1812. At the age of 16 beleft his native place for Boston and NewYork, where he completed bin tradeof soilmaker. At 18 he shipped on theHudson , a whaler , at Sag-Harbor , N. Y.His first and second voyages were in thaSouth Atlantic , and were short and verysuccessful. His promotion was ra pid,and he soon became master of the JohnJay celebrated foi bring ing Jjafayotto toAmerica, and whose bones now Ho in Oak-land harbor. He followed - tho sea fortwent y-two years in both- great oceans,and several of his voyages wero full ofheroic daring and startlin g romance.Once, while in China during tho opiumwar , he, then the mate , re scued tho shipfrom the captain who had taken on £40,-000 in silver to carry to Calcutta , bat hadsteered for Chili. There he took chargeof the ship, sold her and paid the moneyto the owners. He made one of thequickest tri ps of the early times of '49 in120 days, and in five mohtbn had paidback to the own ers the full value of Tea-sel and car go. He broug ht np tho cargoof the condemned ship hnvoy fromSouth America to Sacramento. And,thoug h on his arrival goods were eo cheepthat he was offered the whole cargo forthe freight due him, be refused it Thegoods were stored ; in a short time thecargo was sold for near §100,000. ' Inthat cargo were the first plows broughtto this Stale, and they were soon sold at$50 each. In 1853 he come to Oaklandand boug ht the half block; on Harrisonand Fourth streets. There he built whatwas then the best house in the city, at acost of sis thousand dollars. He boughta farm of 100 acres at the mouth of thocanyon on the road leading to Lafayetteand Walnut creek ; this, after a few yearshe sold. He was trul y a wonder in Cali-fornia , having lived in hw own house 32years, and slept in the name , bedroomwhore he fell into his last long Bleep.He was out of the Slate only to visit theCentennial Exposition. He was nineyears City Wharfinger. Intelligent,honest , upri ght , loving God and his fellowmen, he has gone to join his only son,William D , who died two years ago, andthe innumerable host of the good whohave gone before. His desolate widowand many friends will keep hia memorygreen. * J . E. B.
Ohio Giants.Capt. Martin Tan Bnren Bates, who
lives on a farm near Seville, Ohio, is sevenfoot eleven and ono half inches high, andweighs 478 pounds . Mrs. Baton is sevenfeet eleven inohea high, and weighs 413pounds. It is a difficult matter to con-voy an adequate idea of the proportionsof such a dwelling as the one occupiedby those Ohio giants A door that is sixfeet six inches is a largo-sized oponiningin tho side of a house—that io a dwellinghouse , not a cathedral. But the doomin tho domicile of tho Botes giants nroten feet high, and tho knobs aro nearlyas high as an ordinary man 's bead. Thohou se was built by Capt Bates in 1876,and is elegantl y furnished.

Holmes led in theopening prayer and rondo some" remarksexpressing bis confidence in God and Hispower to help ns inspire of all discourage-ments. Several of the brethren 'led inprayer or made remard a. O. T. Davissaid we .lacked harmony because not liv-ing near to Christ. Are we here as God'sagents , or for ourselves, ready to do whatHe wants, or what we want I ET. Youngsaid thero was more liquor drank nowper capita than thirty years ago. S. M.Hallock thoug ht we were very muchmore advanced than 30 norothir iy yearsago, but it was a question with himwhether we will ever get rid of it. Aslong as sin remains £his will be one formof it Rev. O Holmes thought we oughtto thank God for what bad been done.He said when he was a boy he went awayfrom home and lived in a deacon's family.It was tho first year of hia christian ex-perience. That deacon loved gin, and hedrank too much of it, and it grieved me,yet nothing was done about it. Couldeach a thing bo now t A deacon , remain-ing in good standing in the chnrch whileoften getting under tho influence ofliquor ? Besides the names already men-tioned aa taking part in this meeting byprayer or remarks , are O. H. Terry, J.M. Petty, G. H. TathLU, Goo. W. HallockRev. A, O. Stevens, and James H. Youngby singing, making; a very pleasant meet-ing1 for onr first session. J. S. SkidmoroC. T. Davis, Bev. Win. HedgesV G. A.Downs and J. H- Soung were appointeda brtsin ass committee. Several resolu-tions wero reported. Those discussedand adopted during the sessions of theconvention aro as follows:
Bathed, That we reoogniza the Lord JcaoaChriat as the onlyconxce.of Dtrength ux onrtem-paranos work, u In all other good vrorkt , ' andthat vo hope for anoctaa only aa ire are unitedin Biro-

Betotetd, That in order for the tnaxa of thetesuntanse canto great attention should be givento the teainicg ol our ohudren, .especially In thehome circle.
. Tuesday Evening—-Ber. J. WestbyEarn shaw gave vo his add ress ok by in-vitetion. bni/jeel, "My TemperanceCreod," A creed worth behoving andworth telling till all mankind adopt it astheir own. May God speed the day.This eession woo opened with prayer byBer. W. L Chalmers , and closed withthe benediction by Ber. O. Holmes. Theaddress occupied the whole evening, andI believe wo all felt that wo bad had atre at for which we wore thankf ul,. andwould bare boon glad to havo expressedit in some more substantial way thansimply rising in our seats, as wo did.
Wednesday Mornin g—Our usual pray-er meeting was led by Ber. O. HolmesNot as many reports as usual j none atall from tho south sido. Tho middle oftho Island was represented by Ber. O.Holmes of Now Village and Mino r Nor-ton of Seldou. Thoy ore mainly tem-perate in that section and no liquor sold.Their grea t difficulty ia apathy on thopart of many otherwise good mon (manyof that dat a having never boon seen in atam poronoo meeting) , ai.d tho prevalenceof cider drinkin g. We think tho loot caneasily bo soon to bo o reason for the first.A letter was read from Bev. Wm. H. Lit-tell of Bctaalait oppressing' cis interest inour sociotv, giving1 reasons why ha couldnot attend , and longing for a railroadfrom Port Je fferson to Bivorhead 1 toll-ing of a live organization of Good Tem-plars of 100 members in Sotankot doinga good wor k, and tha election of tho no-lioenso Excise Cominiaaionor in Brook-havon town.

Consid-erable llmo woa upont disouoiing this mat-ter without much good or profit to ourconvention , and which I have 110 doubtwill give joy to our nnemioa .

A largo amount of busines s was dis-posed of last week, bo that ther e is nowa very favorable feeling for an early ad-adjournment , although I can hard ly seehow it con bo effected before May 15th.Lost Friday I succeeded in pro curing atwo-third vote to make tho Kings CountyFarm bill a special order for Tuesdaymorning, and whon it came up I offeredas a substitute for section 1 that whiohwas stricken out in judiciary Committeeand after considerable discussion the billwith the amendment- was orde red to athird reading by a vote of:66 to 23. Itis now about as originally designed bythe supervisors. I shall moke every ef-fort to secure its final passage but haresome donbt owing to the latenes s of thesession. • The Lloyd's Neck bill was con-sidered by tho Internal affairs Committeelast Thursday, and farther heari ng waspostponed one week. This delay jeo-pardi ses its passage." The game bill changing the time for ishooting partridge , woodcock, robin ,meadow lark or squirrel , so as to beginthe 1st of November and end the let ofJanuary has passed the Senate and is nowon the , order of third reading in ibisHouse Anient? the bills passed, theAssembly will mention : Tha. theatricallicense bill, which will divert the moneysreceived for theatre licenses (about 825,-000) from the Hpns e of Refuge , It wasdefered when first voted upon, but thenex t day it was reconsidered and receivedtwo more than the-necessary majority.I-do not think this bill favorable to thoCoaiity districts ,, as tho State Tjill be re-quired to appropriate tha deficiencycaused. To . give . the board of healthaddit ional powers and authority in thoCity of- N; X - Allowing the board toprocure liens when their recommendationsare not carried out. To provide for thelabelling of boor kegs as to their contents.Authorizing rural cemetery ossociationato red uce or increase the number of theirtrustees. To incorporate the New-YorkCollege of Medicine and surgery. Amongthe incorporators I notice . tho names ofDr. E. E. Moore and Mr. Hallett Clockof Bay Shore. The Niagara-Park bill isnow awaiting tho Governors signaturehavin g passed both Houses. SupervisorTitus made a short call last Friday. Hewas up here to oppose the Senate gamebill which was mentioned in my last, inreference to seines being provided withfloats. I can sea no nesd of suoh a law.
