THE TEARS ABE PASSING BT. The President Vetoes the Deficiency BUI The president sent to the house, on the 4th, the following message, vetoing the deficiency bill: To the House of Representatives: After mature consideration of the bill entitled "An act making appropriations to supply certain deficiencies in appropriations for the service of the government lor the fie cal year ending June 30, 1880, and for other purposes," I return it to the house of representatives, in which it originated, with my objections to its passage. The bill appropriates about of which oyer $000,000 is for tho payment of the fees of United States marshals and of general and special deputy marshals, earned dur heard. His father did before him. The taste of it is in the Vanwirt blood.

It camo near being my ruin at bis very age. But I promised the woman I married I would never touch a card again, if she would have me, and I never did. My Grandson loves you as only a Vanwirt can. It is my only hope for him. Am I wrong, my child, in believing that you care lor eim?" Laura's pale lips opened, but she would not utter a word.

"Little fool!" thought Pauline. "Listen to mel" old Ethan Vanwirt said, lifting himself upon his elbow, in his excitement. "If you love Lewis, promise me that before you consemt to marry him, you will exact from him the same pledge my wife did from me, and he shall be my heir. If not, my money goes away from him. Speak, my child! My lawyer waits now to make my will." Laura burst into tears.

"I do love him!" she stammered. "I will promise anything rather than you'd do such a drcrdful thing. But what it he does not care for me as you think?"

The appropriations made in the bill are needed to carry on the operations of the government, and fulfill its obligations for the payment of money long since aue to its officers tor services and ex-penses essential to the execution of thei duties under the laws of the United States The necessity for these appropriations is bo urgent and they have been already so long delayed that if the bill before me contained no permanent or legal legisla '1 will risk that; I know lie does.

Give me your hand, child, and say the words over after al. It contains, however, a nroviuon me. Laura obeyed him more calmly than Laura's namec- Robert Lester, who about this time took advantage of the situation to renew his devotion to her. Laura had never liked him, and liked him less than ever now; but in spite of her coldness he was always besidefljherlnow, and moie than once she fancied that Pauline had deliberately contrived to fasten bim upon her for the evening. "I must bring matters to a crisis soon," thought Pauline one night, as she wreathed her brilliant face with smiles, and pretended not to perceive Mrs.

Work's unusual cold manner to her. Presently, when Lewis Vanwirt called, she was watching him, and drew him at once into the garden. "I want to tell you something," she said, in her soft voice; "and, besides, Laura and her lover are so happy in there by themselves, it would be a pity to disturb them." Lewis Vanwirt's handsome face turned quite white. "Has she consented to marry him at last?" he asked, bitterly. "Oh, of course; I told you she would.

He is such a very moral young man, and dear Laura is so very strict in her ideas. I believe she thinks he has not a vice in the world; and I know, if she thought he had ever touched a card, Bhe would not have him now." Lewis winked. "Mr. Vanwirt," Pauline said, suddenly; "do you know to whom your grandfather left his money, in that will that has never been found "I do not know." "I can tell you." "You!" He stared at her, "It gave everything to Laura Work." "Impossible! How do you know?" "Never mind; I do know," Pauline said, lifting her beautiful black eyes to his in the moonlight. "Moreover, that will is in existence." He stared at her harder than before.

"1 know where it is." "You do?" "Would you like to see it?" slipping her hand into her pocket. "I ceitainly should." "How would you like to see Laura and Robert Lester lording it at Vanwirt house?" Lewis ground his teeth with involuntary rage. That decided the false, bold girl beside him. "Lewis Vanwirt," she that will could be put in your possession to do what you like with it, would you marry a woman who loves you better than Laura Work ever could? She felt him start as she leaned upon his arm, and her hand tightened on what which materially changes and by implica might have been expected under, the tion repeats important parts ot the law for the regulation of United States elec tions. These laws have for several years "God bless you!" he said, as he let her hand go.

"Xou have made my dying Hewss Indian Ban Down a Deer. From Urn San Francisco Pout. When sufficiently near, the hunter takes his aim, and making a slight nohie with his foot on the ground, which causes the deer to turn toward him, has a good chance to hit it in the middle of the forehead. But if he misses the mark, or his gun misses fire, then the fun begins in earnest, and one of the finest races in the world can be witnessed a naked Indian and frightened deer at full speed. If the deer should happen to be not more than a year old, it is of no use following it, as it will then outrun any Indian, and run longer without giving out, but if two or three years old, or older, a good runner will bring it down in a few hours, or certainly within fifty or sixty miles.

(The narrator, Jose Mendivil, here insists that a good runner among the Apaches can run one hundred and twenty-five miles in twenty-four hours easily.) The deer starts at full speed, making long leaps of from ten to thirty feet. At first he gains rapidly on the Indian, but the latter follows, every now and then uttering frightful jells, but never for a moment halting or losing the trail. The deer when out of sight, halts and looks back, but soon his pursuer comes in sight, when he bounds on with longer leaps than at first; finally he makes for water, a spring or stream, and when he gets there halts and drinks all he wants. Now there ia no hope tor him, for after he drinks he cannot run so fast or leap so far. Pretty soon the Indian comes in sight again, while the tired deer rests a moment, but the tired hunter never halts to drink, not if his mouth is as dry as ashes, for by so doing he not only loses time, but cannot run so fast afterward.

On he goes, never resting, either on the hill or on thV mountain. If that deer takes to the top of the highest mountain, right on his trackho Apache follows. By and by tho Indian Bees a blood stain on a rock where the deer has stumbled and skinned his knee or struck his nose. He knows now that the race will soon be ended, and runs faster every minute. When the deer sees the Apache close upon him he stops suddenly by a rock or bush and turns.

Sometimes as soon as he stops he drops down faintine-, or even dead, from fatigue. If not dead already, when the Indian seizes him by the head and hind legs, he makes but little resistance and is dispatched with the knife. The hunter now cuts out a fine piece and eats it, taking not a moment's rest for fear ot getting stiff, but puts the deer on his shoulders, or, if too heavy, a part of it, placing the rest in a secure place, and then trots back to his camp, having traveled perhaps a hundred miles without resting. The next day some one will take his back track for the balance of the game. Concluding Scene of a Murder Trial.

Although, of late, this practice has been resorted to by all political parties when clothed with power, it did not prevail until forty years after the adoption of the constitution, and it is confidently believed that it is condemned by the enlightened judgment ot the country. The states which have adopted new constitutions during the last quarter of a century have generally provided remedies for the evil.

Many ot them have enacted that no law shall contain more than one subject, which shall be plainly expressed in its title.
