promised me. It came in the shape of Mary herself, who, wrapped in her long cloak and with her beautiful face aglow with blushes, came stealing into the house just as I was beginning to des pair. A strain of wild music from the hotel porch where they were having a dance, ■entered with her, producing such a wcirc ■effect upon my fancy that I was not all sur prised when in Hinging oil' her cloak, she displayed garments of bridal white and a head crowned with snowy roses. 110 Mary i" cried I buisting into tears, ••yon are then—" " Mrs Henry Clavering, at your service. 'I'm a bride, Auntie." " Without a bridal," I murmured, taking her passionately into my embrace. Sue was not insensible to my emotion. Nestling close to me, she gavn herself up for one wild moment to a genuine burst of tears, saying between her tobs all manner -•of tender things, telling me how she loved me, and how I wai th« only one in all the world to whom she dare come, on this her wedding night, for comfort or congratula tion, and of how tightened she felt now tt „. tias all over, as if with her namo she m had parted with something of inestimable value. "And does not the thought that you have made someone the proudestof men solnce you?" I asked, more than dismayed at this failure of mine to make these lovers happy. "1 don't know," she sobbed. "What satisfaction can it b? for him to feel him self tied for life to a girl who. sooner than 'lose a piospcctive fortune, subjected him •to such a parting. " Tell me about it," said I. But she was not in the mood at that moment. The excitement of the d.ay bad been too much for her. A thousnn'l fears seemed to beset her mind. Crouching ■down on the stool at my feet, she sat with her hands folded and a glare ou her face that lent an aspect of strange unreality to her brilliant attire. "How shall I keep it secret? The thought haunts me every moment; how can I keep it secret?" " Why, is there auy longer of its being known?" I inquired. "Were you seen or followed ?" "No," she murmured. "It all went off well, bnt—" " Where is the danger then ?" "I canrmt say ; but some deeds are like ghosts. They will not do laid ; they re appear ; they gibber; they make them selves known whether we will or not. I did not think of this before. I was mad, reckless, what you will. But ever since the nieht has come, 1 have felt it crushing upon me like a pall that smothers life and youth and love out of my heart. AVbile the sunlight remained I could endure it; but now—O, Auntie, I have done some that will keep mo in constant fear. I have allied myself to a living apprehension. I have destroyer! my happiness." • ; I was too aghast to speak. "I have tried to play gaiety for two hours. I have stood up in tho parlours below, dres«ed in my bridal white and crowned with my wreath of roses, making believe to myself that I was receiviog wedding guests and that every compliment bestowed upon me—and they were only too numerous—were just so many con gratulations upon my marriage. But it ■was no use; Eleauore knew it wa» no use. She ha' gone to her room to pray, while I —I have come here for the first time, per haps for the last, to fall at someone's feet m and cry, 'God have mercy upon me?'" I looked at her in uncontrollable emotion. "O, Mary," said I, "have I only suc ceeded, then, io making you miserable ?" _ She did not answer, she was engaged in picking up the crown of roses which had fallen from her hair to the floor. " If I had n«t been tiught to love money so 1" s'ne said at length. "If like Eleanore I could look upon the splendour which has been ours from childhood as a mere acces sory ot life, easy to be dropped at the call of duty or affection! If prestige, adula tion, aud elegant belongings were not so much to me, or lov*9, friendship, and domes tic happiness more ! If only I could walk a step withunt dragging the chain of a thou sand luxurious longings after me. Elea nors can. Lordly a* she is in her beautiful womanhood, haughty as she can be when the delicate quick of her personality is touched too rudely, I have known her to sit by the hour in a low, chilly, ill-lighted, and ill-smelling garret, cradling a dirty child on her knee, and feeding with her own band an impatient old woman whom no one else would consent to touch. Oh, oh, they talk about repentance and a change of heart! If someone or something would only change mine! But there is no hope of that! no hope of my ever being anything else than what I am, a selfish, wilful, mercenary girl."

Captain Mayne Reid.

Wkiting from London, a correspondent of the New York "Graphic" says: "The other day I saw a strangely-attired man. He wore a furry woollen suit, cut aa to cosit like a Norfolk shirt or an. artist's jacket; as to pantaloons, like a Mexican's trousers; velvet-furred slippers ou hh feet that displayed almost coquettishly V6l million-hu'ed. stockings; a bright red vest; an undaunted collar of red - and - white stripes standing erect and encircling the neck higher than the latitude of the ears, and pointing in direct right angles over the nose in front; a white service cork hat hound with satin ribbon, draped with silk 'Cords, around the crown; while from out of this oddly-appearing figure and from its upper end peered a face so shrewd and jovial, in which shone so twinkling an eye, that one could not but -join in the pleasure able feelings so apparently fully enjoyed by Captain Mayne Keid. He wa* leaning on his crutches, whose dainty shape and «old mountings almost deprived them of the painful significance of their presence. Friend of my boyhood day! How many bears he and I have shot together in company with nearly a million other boys. How we have trailed the tiger to its secret lair, defied the e'ephant iv its jungle, wrestled single-banded with the grizzly, • vanquished all sorts of wild beasts, rode over boundle«s prairie* in successful search of white buffalo, taken great fish from all water', and starve^' fought, and triumphed -together. "The fact of it is," said Caritain Mayne Keid, " I want to know something about a pension that is due in America. You see *these cratches? I carry those because of the wound I received when I led a forlorn hope in Mexico. lam an ex-officer of the American army that invaded Mexico. But Ido love the country. You have been in America sdme time; tell me something ■ about the pensions." I couldn't; but I was weak enough to send him an editorial cutting on the subject i which happened to fall in my way. His general conversation h bright and cheery. He has a country house down in Hertford shire, where he raise 3 sheep of many colours. He has their nVcei soun iuto cloth, and the cloth made into garments, and he wears the garments. As they say in LoDdon : "There you are, don't yon ■ see."

RAMBLES ROUND THE WORLD IN 1882.

NO. 111.

On Monday, July 3rd,l bade farewell to Salt Lake City and tho Mormons, and returnoa to Ogden. After an hour's detention, wait ing for tho arrival of the train from the West, I got away, and proceeded towards the Bant. Travellers must 1 aye their purses well lined with dollars, for there is no end of demands upon them. In addi tion to the cost of the travelling ticket, sdol* is the charge for a sleeping north for one night in .Pullman's car. This, how ever, includes the privilege of silting in the car all day, and the comfort is far greater than in the ordinary first-class c image?. The country bet ween Ogden and Cbeycnne is mostly dsvoid of interest, ilia only romantic bit of scenery is in passing through Weber Canyon. The Devil's Gate, the Devil'l] Post-office, aud toe Devil's Slide, arc curious rocky formations, and seeru to break the general monotony of the journey. The people of Utah must have a good deal to do, I linupiae, with tho adver sary of God and man, for there are very many places and points in the landscape associated with his name. At Green Hirer, a pretty little settle ment, tho train stayed twenty minutes to allow passengers to sup; but I had taken the precaution to carry with me a well stored lunch, basket, aud was independent of the roadside restaurant, where the viands are not very tempting, though the charges are hi»h—nothing less than a aollar; jiud, for that, tho■' utmost you can obtain is a plate of soup, a tough piece of steak, and a cup of so-called coffee. I should advise every traveller to follow my example ami carry their own tucker, The darkie who has charge, of the car fixed a table when required, and you can regale your self at leisure without running the risk of choking yourself in attempting to swallow the contents of your 'pl.ita neftire the cry " all aboard " warni you that tho train ia about to start. After leaving Green Kiver it soon became dark, and aa nothing moro was to be seen, 1 got my bed made and turned in. To those who have never seen the arrangements ot n sleeping car, the ingenuity with which space has been economised, and nil the necessary accom paniments of a comfortable bed secured, are matters that excito no little sur prise. I found nothing at Cheyenne suillciently attractive to detain me; but having heard a good deal of the City of Denver, and the attractive scenery of Colorado, I determined to make a detour and run dowa thither. It was on the even ing of the fourth ot July—the great Anni versary Day of American Independence, when I arrived at Denver. The city was resonant with squibs and crackers, and bands of music. It seemed to be a favourite amusement with the " hoodlum'" and " scalarvago " —terms syuonyrnous with our " larrikins" and "loafers,"—to burn a hol« ia the coat tails of pedestrians with a squib, or singe his whiskers with ac-acker, in honour of the great event of emancipa tion from British control. Thirty years ago the plains around Denver were a solitude ; and even ten years ago the settlement was small and insignifi cant, l'o-day, it is a city £of of 60,000 inhabitants, and the centre of a vast aud very productive mining industry. The streets are well laid out and the buildings are very superior. There is a grand Opera House, which is said to be scarce'y inferior to that of Paris. By irrigation the plains round the city have been made very productive, and thriving farms embellish the nearer landscape. A walk round the various blocks into which the City of Denver ia divided is enjoyable; and the elegant stores, warehouses, banks and public buildiDga impress the strautter with a feeling of astonishment when he is assured that these marvels df enterprise and industry bava all sprung into existence with in the last ten years. While at Denver I made an excursion up the Clear Creek CaDyon—a natural rift or gorge in the Kocky Mountain range—to Black Hawk, Central City and Idaho Springs—the principal ruining localities. It would be difficult to Had adequate language to describe the rugged grandeur of the ride up Clear Creek "Canyon. Imagine a train rushing along % ravine, in places not more than 100 feet wide, an impetuous mountain torrent, broken here and there into rapids and cascades by the inequality of the channel, within a few feet of the rails on which you travel, with perpendicular, rocky walls on either hand of every conceivable shape,rising to the height of 2,500 and 3,000 feet, and in some places overhanging so as to exclude the daylight; imagine such a scene, and you will have a faint conception of the reality. Black Hawk is the first mining town. It is 7,975 feet above the pea level, and contains a population of 3,500 people, all directly or indirectly connected with the preTai'ing industry. Some very large stamp mills have been erected here, and are constantly at work. One mile in direct line fr«m Mack Hawk is Central City, another mining settlement, but to reach it the train has to ascend a series of zig zag.% making the actual distance between three and four miles. The visitor may step into one of the banks at Central City and ex amine the glittering gold retorts fresh from the mills and ready for export. These lumps of the precious metal vary in value from £20 to £3000 each, and in weight from a few ounces up to a thousand and more, and a constant supply is kept up as one mill after another cleans up. Almost every day shipments of gold leave the banks. tftom Central City I drove over the ranges and down Virginia Gorge to Idaho. The ride is rather rough, owing to the primi tive state ot the road, but the view amply compensatesforthediscomfort. Icanscarcely conceive mountain scenery of surpassing or even equal grandeur. From the elevated standpoint the traveller takes in the valley and canyon of Clear Creek and Fall Kiver'; Bollvue rears its snow-capped summit 11,000 feet, and Bald Mountain some 1200 feet higher, and a continuous range stretches away 150 miles in length, with in tervening foothills and chasms, the glorious panorama being bounded only by the limit of one's vision. Idaho is of lesa note than Black Hawk and Central City, but there are several mineral springs in the vicinity, of medicinal repute. The man who drove the • waggon in which I and ray travelling com panions were seated duringthe jou'ney over the ranges was an amusing character. The gasconading powers of American imagina tion and humour aesm to have concentrated in Ms person. He kept us constantly merry by his extravagancies. And if any of our party mentioned a remarkable fact, or surprising feature of other places and scenes, our Jehu instantly capped the narration by something still more remark able. He was never at a 1033, but clinched every statement. For instance, the talk happened to turn ou mosquitoes, one of our party, desigoing to try how far the inventive faculty of the driver could go, said, "In some parts of New Zealand and Australia the mosquitoes are so vicious and voracious, that they make a meal of an ox, and then use one of his horns as a tooth-pick," Instantly our humorous Yankee rejoined, " Wai, I guess that ai'nt much account, stranger. If you'd been raised in some parts of our great coun try, you'd a come across mosquitoes that carry a grindstone under oue of their wing?,

to sharpen the tooth-pick afora using it. On the 21st July I resumed my journ< :1 taking the Union Pacific line to Omah iiod Council Bluffs. This is comparative! a new route, and saves a considerable di> tance, making a cut across the pravriei instead of returning to Cheyenne. Th liae runs .along the Platte River—hardl worthy of being called a river—as it sprei-d out over lnuumoniblft sand bars and islets where the lightest skiff would ba aground I saw, at various places on th prairie, large herds of cattle an< groat uumbois of horse". Tho graziers fror Texas drive their herdi this way. Iwa told at one dolivery station that 270 00 oxen had just cbaaged hands, and tha 30,000 moro were on their way. Th current price is $13 for yearlings, §18 fo two-year-olds, and §25 for tbree-year-old and upwards. A Mrs Kiff has the reputa tion of being the cattle Queen of Denver She owns immense tracts o£ pasture lam and countless herds of bovines. An enter pricing individual of the sterner sex, think in«, 1 suppose, that the occupation of stoci raising and selling was more becoming bin than Mrs Kill, offered her two million o dollars for her atatiou, but she contemptu oU9ly refusod tho offor. Omaha and Council Blufl's arc two ox teiuive settlements; tho former on tin western, and tha latter on the castert bank of the Missouri Kiver. Not more than 28 years have elapsed ainco the lira claim cabin was erected at Omaha ; aud l is currently reported that during thi infancy of tho settlement the first pos olfice was the postmaster's hat. And wliou ever it happened that ho was away fron homo, out on the prairie, some anxions ex pectant would have to enase him for mile-* in order to get him to soarch tho crowu o his hat for the auticipated missive. To-daj the city nf Omaha numbers upward* « .30,000 inhabitants, and posscse.i a first-clivi post office, and all other accessories of an ad vancud civilisation. Councttlslu(rs,foc;itl.< because the pioneer settlers held a counci with the Indian occup ints of tho territory ii ISO 4, is not so large as < 'malm, The popu lation numbers about 19,000. Yen's n%< tho Mormons made this place their wintei quarters when on their march towards tl)( far weit. The surruuadiog country is pic .turesque and tho soil is rich, agriculture being the prevailing industry. The Union Pacilic Kail way terminates nf Council Bluffs. From this point othei companies take up the traffic. I chose tin Chicago, Burlington, anil Quinay line; and I can recommend it to any who may conn after me as one of tbe best—if nol bo best line. Sumptuous slcoping cars are attached to every train, and the traveller is uo longer dependant on roadside restaurant?, or even on the con tents of hia own Itinch basket, for com modious dining cars arc also attached tc the train, and for tho reasonable charge ol 75 cents, au excellent meal is supplied. From this point the traveller may con sider that he lus left the wild Wes; behind him, and reached the moro orderly regioni of the country. Ido not mean to imply that there is no kind ot order in the far West, but in spite ot the great progress that has been made, there is still a degree ot reckless ness and disregard of human life, coupled with a deposition to ignore the tatdy operation ot the law, aud execute summary justice on offenders, not to be found East ward, it is scarcely possible to take up any of the numerous papers that are pub lished without meeting narratives of crime and vengeance that Bre apt to horrify a stranger accustomed to the law-abiding habits of Englishmen. I take, promis cuously, a few extracts from some of tho papers befofe me as I write :—" Peters burgh, Ya., July lu'tli : A duel between Joseph Addison, of Baltimore, and liichard Garland, of Luneberg County, was fought at a distance of six feet. Add-on's pistol hung Bre four timea, only one bullet strik ing Garlnnd in the waist. Garland's piatol WTM fired five times, one bullet taking effect. At the last iiro a bullet entered Addison's body near the navel, lodging under the skin ot the back. Addison died at 630 o'clock this morning. Tne duel re sulted from Garland telling a young lady of Luneberg County, to whom Addison was engaged to be married, that he (Addison) was flirting with her." " Minneapolis, Minn., July 24.— Cyrus Woolbridge was stabbed by Frank Bolles Marshall in a drunk-n brawl at Marshall's house, where Wooctbridjzo and ft. M. Clarke and wife had gone to spend the day socially. The wounds may prove fatal. Clarke interfered and tired several shots which did not take effect." "Louisville. Ky., July 27.—1 n March last a barn belonging to the Duncans, who are wealthy distillers, was burned one night. Holtca was. J.he oaly man in the immediate neighbourhood who did not offer help to extinguish the flames, and tho Duncans charged Holten with startiug the fire. A detective from Ctncinnatti was en giiged, but he gave up the case at last, sat isfied that Holten was innocent. But the Duncans persisted be was not> and one cold night they aroused him at his home while sleeping with his family, and took him to the still house, where they at tempted to miku him confess to burning the barn. Upoa his denial of the crime, and all knowledge of it, they tied a strong rope about his neck and drew him up until he was unconscious, when he was let down and -allowed to regain hia breath. He still burning tho barn, when ho was swung up a second time ; but he still re fused to confess, and was hung a third time. He only missed death by a hair's breadth this time, but was let down to the floor and left alono to recover as he might." Arkadelpbia, Ark., July 27. — "jNear Gurion Station, Eli McKnighf, a man of colour, tried to outrage the person of Miss Baker, a young lady of the neighbourhood, but was prevented by the house dog, which came to her rescue. He was pursued and captured by a mob and mutilated." .Similar announcements are by no means rare and infrequent. In each issue of almost every paper many, such revolting paragraphs may be found. From whit I have seen hitherto, I have been led to form a low opinion of the American newspaper Press. The papers are pervaded by a tone of loose morality; and there is a con spicuous pandering to a vicious taste by setting forth every item of criminal intelli gence under sensational headiogs in large type. Tbe reader looks in vain for such leaders as are common in the English and Australian journals—of high moral tone, and adapted to guide and form a healthy public opioion, Of course, the foregoing remarks apply only to the periodicals I have hitherto seen. Possibly, as I go further East, I shall iind the newspapers to ba in many respects superior. After leaving Council Bluffs, the C.B. and Q. railway rum through the States of lowa and Illiuois, a stretch of as fine and fertile country as can be seen in any part ol the world. Tbe eye is gratified by growing crops and rich meadow lands, with en livening country townships, indicating a settled state of life, in strong contrast with the wild wastes of the far West. It would be tedious to mention all the stations we pissed, each one making it more obvious that we were approaching the more nopo. lous parts of the country. About 2.15 p.m, on Taesd&y, 25th July, I reached Chicago. tbe great Emporium of the North West Thi3 by far is the largest and most im

portant of the cities of America I have yet seen. Like Venice, it occupies a site that was once a vast morass, subject from time immemorial to Hoods and inundations. But by the skill and energy of man, both sea aud land have been made subservient to the stability and beauty of Chicago. In the princioal parts of the city, tho streets havo b;cn formed by filling in to the depth of eight and eleven feet, and are paved in the most substantial manner. It is 52 years since the firat survey for the city was made, but the growth and wonderful proportions of the place have been attained during the last thirty yoars. The city proper covets an area of forty pqunre mile?, with numerous suburbs, and has a river frontage of torty-thrce miles. The aggregate length of the various streets is reckoned to bo 1089 miles. Four thousand manufactories of various kinds are in constant work, em ploying 125,000 men, women, boys, and gins, nnd representing a capital of fully £18,144,200. The annual value of the variouM products of these manufactoriCH is estimated at £61,800,000. A hundred and sixty passengor trains arrive and depart daily. Tho water supply of the city is drawn from Lake Michigan, on the bolder* of which the city is built. An immense masonry tunnel penetrates the Lake for a distance of three miles, whence it receives the puro element from the bottom of the lake through a "crib." bpacious tunnels and mains underly the streets of the city, and supply the inhabitants with an abun dance of this lirst necessary of life and comfort. The entries of nil kinds of water craft trading along the extensive chain of lakes connecting with Michigan nre said to exceed those of Boston, Philadelphia, nud Mew Orleans combined. More grain aud live-stock are handled at Cnieago, and more hog.* and cattle slaughtered aud packed tbau in any city of the world. Iv ISSI, the number ot fat pigs imported, or rather brought in from various surrounding States, was G,473,500, and of these 5, ITS,OOO were slaughtered, salted, nnd packed fur export. The popula tion of the city exceeds half a milliou.

i caunot pretend, iv tbe eomptus of a letter, to describe the various building!— public nnd private—of this great human invo. 1 can only say that in the commer cial quarters the shops nre elegant, and the wholesale storoa of vast proportions. I must, however, make special mention of the Court House nnd City Hall. I have seen tome line structures in Sydney aud Melbourne and other places, but tho Chicago Court House and City Hall over shadows all the public buildings I have seen elsewhere, surrounded as it is by buni ncs* structures far exceeding in height and size ordinary erections of tbe kind in most cities. The colossal proportions of the Court-House nre nor fully realised at first. If it stood by itself, it-* grandeur would more readily appear. It occupies one entire block, cn clos'd by Clark, La Salle, Randolph, nnd Washington-streets. It presents a Re naissance style of architecture, intermixed with Homan. The material of which it is built is principally limestone. The facing*, pillar?, «&c , are of granite. In short, as a public structure, ie miy be described a* n worthy ornament of the great metropolis of the north-west regions of America.

The lUMiUiKit,

King Cetewayo.

A Description of His Voyaok fbom Cape Town to kngland. The ex-King of tho Zulus arrived hero from Cape Town after a protracted voyage. Cetewnyo is accompanied by his cou«in, Unscingcwann, who ofliciatca as his Prime Minister; also by two Councillor', Umkosnnn and Ungobozan, the former of whom led a regiment at Isandtila and the latter one at Rorke's Drift. The ex-King's personal suite consists of a native interpre ter, a native doctor and two native servants. Henriquez Shepstone has come to represent the Natal Government, and this gentlemen is accompanied by an interpreter. The party left Cape Town in the Union Company's steamer Arab on July 12th, reaching Madeira in 16 days. The voyage was occasionally stormy especially between the island and Plymouth. Cetewayo came on board in somewhat tattered garments. He wore a hat garnished with Bull's feathers, and in his hand he carried his knobkerric, which he ÜBed-upon his farm for killing birds. There was however, waiting him on board tbe steamer an elaborate outfit, which includes the undress uniform of a general m the British army, to bs worn on special Occasions in England. Immediately on getting on board the Arab, the ex-King had a hot bath, and he and his native followers were each provided with a suit of clothes ; that assigned to Cetewayo being of fashion able, somewhat roomy cut, and composed of light grey tweed. Those prepared for his cousin and two chiefs were blue trousers and loofe-made jerseys, and soft African hats. The ex-King and his suite suffered from seasickness, but for a short time only. They speedily found their appetites. The ex-King and his cousin occupied staterooms, Cetewayo's servant sleeping within call of his master. The two chiefs of Isandula and Rorke's Drift had berths in the second class. Cetewayo, his kinsman and two Councilors messed in the saloon, where, at the ex-King's request, they occupied a table by themselves. Xheir appetite left nothing to be desired; between Cape Town and Madeira they consumed 800 pounds of beef. Their menu is marked by some notable departures from that to which EHglishmen are acenptomed. The King complained of the barbarism of mixing food on one plate. The Zulus,, therefore, eat every article of food by itself, beginning with beef, which is consumed without either muftard or pepper. This is followed by a relay of seed potatoes, and at breakfast the potatoes are succeeded by porridge, occasionally washed down with wbisky or champagne. The King is very scrupulous about his person, taking a bath every morning. In his demeanour Cetewayo is most gentle, utterly belying the popular conception which pictures him as a rude and turbulent savag". His intelligence in shown by the questions which he addresses to his interpreter*, and his capacity to win men's friendship by the extraordinary sym pathy felt with him by the passengers of the Arab. He has been, in fact, cvey one's friend, and the passengers who left the ship ac Plymouth bade him a hearty tarewell. Cetewayo is very asxiousto reacb London, his desire being to see tho Queen, about •whom he is never tired of asking questions, and for whom he is always expressing ]ng pro'ound respect He is hopeful that his visit to England may be followed by his restoration to Zulu'aml, which is evidently no v the dream of his life. He pledges him self the friend of England, and if restored would, he says, stand a bulwark to the coloay of Natal ogainst Basuto and Boer alike. Hh antipathy ti 'John Dunn is re markable. He accuses that chief ot trrachery; and the two councillors by whom the ex-King is accompanied are brought from Zululand in order to describe the state aud filing of the country under Dunn's rule. Cetewayo seems to_ ba convinced that ooce be has bee" permitted to state hii case to the Queen's ciatic'ors, he will have his sovereign rights reswed. Cetewayo and his companions are nea"Y black, but their features are more refiDed than those of a negro. The party are unaccompaoied by women,—Letterto " London Central News."
