A soldier who bad won imperishable fame on the battlefields ol his country was confronted by a gaunt stranger, clad all in black and wearing an impenetrable mask. "Who are you that you are to-block my way demanded the soldier. Then the stranger drew aside his nta.k and the soldier knew that he was Death Have you come for me? asked ihe soldier.

II so, I will not go with you; so, go your way alone. But Death held out his bony band and beckoned to the soldier. "No, cried the soldier, resolutely; my time is not come. See, here are the his lories lam wishing no hand but mine can finish them I will not go till they are done "I have riden by your side day and night, said Death; "I have hovered about you on a hundred battlefields, but no sight of me could chill your heart till now, and now I hold you in my power. Come And with these words Death seized upon tilt, soldier and strove to bear him hence, but the soldier struggled so dcs perately that he prevailed ag m.st Death, and the strange phantom departed alone, flit 11 when he had gone the soldier lound upon his throat the imprint of Deaths fingers so fierce had been lh.e fitrugg le.

And nothing could wear away the marks nay, not all the skill in the world couid wash them away, lor they were disease, lingering, agonizing, fatal disease. But with quiet valor the soldier returned to ms histones, and for many days thereafter be toiled upon ihem as the last and best work of bis noble life. "How pale and thin the soldier is getting, said thie people. "His- hair is wtiil-eomg and his eyes are weary. He should not have undertaken the history the la-Dor is killing him.

They did not know of his struggle with Death, nor had they seen the marks upon the soldiers throat. But the physicians who came to him, and saw the uiatks of Deaths cruel fingers, shook their heads and said the soldier could not live io complete the work upon which his whole neart was set. And the soldier knew it, 'oo, and many a time he paused iu his writing and laid his pen aside and bowed his hands and stiove forconsolation in the thought of the great fame he had ai-ieady won. But there was no consolation in all this. So when Death came a second time he lound the soldier weak and trem bling and emaciated.

It would be vain of you to struggle ith me now, said Death. My poison is iu vour veins, and, see, my dew is on your brow. But you are a brave man, and 1 wilt not beair you with me till you have asked one favor, which I will grant. Give me an hour to ask the favor, said he soldier. 'There are so many things my histories and all give me an hour that I may decide what 1 shall ask And as death tarrietf, the soldier communed with himse.f.

Belore he closed eyes forever what boon should he ask of Death And the soldiers thoughts back over the years, and his whole life came to him like a lightning flash the companionship and smiles of kings, the glories of government and politnal pow -r, the honors of peace, the joys ol conquest, the sweets of a quiet home life upon a western prairie, ihe gentle devo non of a the clamor of noisy boys and the face uf a little girl ah, there his thoughts lingered and clung. Time to complete our woik our books our histones, counseled Ambi-iqp. "Ask Death for time to do this last and crowning ac( ot our great life. But the soldiers eats were deaf to ihe cries of Ambition; they heard another voice the voice ot the soldier's heart and the voice whispered: "Ncl le Nellie Nellie. That was ali no other woids but those, and ihe soldier snuggled to his fett and stretched forth his i.a ds and called to Death; and, tuaring him calling Death came and stood belore him.

"1 have made my choice, said the soldo r. The books? asked Dealt, with a scornful smile. "No, not them, said the soldier, but my little girl iny Nellie Give me a lease of life till I 1 ave held her in these arms, and then come for me I ill go! Tnen Death's hideous aspect was changed; his stern teatures relaxed and a look of pity came upon them And Dtaili-said, It shall be so," a saying this he went his way. Now the soldiers child was Lr a way-many, many leagues front where the sol dier lived, beyond a bjoad, tempestuous ocean. She was not, as you might sup pose, a little child, although the soldier spoke ol her as such.

She was a wife and a mother; yet even in her womanhooii she was to the soldier's heari the same little girl the soldier had held upon hi knee many and many a time while hi rough hands weaved prairie flowers in her soft, fair curls. And the soldier call ed her NeHie noty, just as he did the-', when she sat cn his knee and prattled oi her dolls. This is the way cl ate human teart. An old comrade came and pressed his hand, and told of the limes hen they went to the wars together, and the old comrade told of this battle and ofihit, md bow such a victory was won and such a city taken But the soldiers ears ht aid no sound of battle now, and his eyes could see no flash of sabre nor no smoke ol war. So the people came and poke words of veneration and love and hope, and with quietude, but wilh a hungry heari, the soldier waited for Ihe, hi little gnl.

She came across the broad, tempgAu-ous ocean. The guiis flew far out rorn land aqd told the winds, and the wind flew further still and said to the ship Speed on, ship speed on in thy sw if straight course, for you ate burning -treasure to a father's heart It having been noised about that the soldier was dying and that Nellie had been sent for across the sea, all the people vied with each other in southing the last mu merits of the famous man, for he was be loved by all and all were bound to him by bonds of patriotic gratitude, since he had been so biiave a soldier npju the bat tlefields of his country. Bui the soldier -dfd not heed their words of sympathy; the voice of famey which, in the past, had stirred a fever in blood and lalkn most pleasantly upon his ears, awaked no emotion in his bosom now. The soldier thought only of Nellie, and Tie a waited her coming. Then the ship leapt forward in her path way, and the waves were very sob, and the winds kept whispering, Speed on, ship, till at last the shfo has come to port and the little girl was clasped ia the sol diers arms.

Then for a season the soldier seemed quite himself again, and the people s-ud, "He will live, and they prayed that he might. But their hopes and prayers were vain. Deaths seal was on tne soldier, and there was no release. The last davs of the soldiers life were the most beautiful of all but what a mookery of ambition and fame and all the rand pretentious things of liie -they were! They were the triumph of a human heart, and what is better or purer or sweeter than that No thought ol the hundred battlefields upon which his valor had shown conspicuous came to the soldier now nor the echo of his eternal fame, nor even yet the murmurs of a sorrowing people. Nellie was by hi3 side, and his hungry fainting heart fed on her dear love and his soul went back with her to the years long ago.

Away beyond the western horizon upon the prairie stands a little home over which the vine trail. All abdut it is the tall, waving grass and over yonder is the swale with a legion of chattering blackbirds perched on its swaying reeds and rushes. Bright wild flowers bloom on every side, the quail whistles in tire pasture fence, and from his home in the chimney corner the cricket tiies to chirrup and echo Io the lonely birds call. In this little prairie home we see a man holding on bis knee a little girl, who is telling him of her play as he smooths her fair curls or strokes her tiny velvet hands; or perhaps site is singing him one of her baby songs, or asking him strange ques tioDS of the great wide world that is so new to her or perhaps he binds VYASHlNWrON ITEMS. Admiral Jouett Reports.

Everything is quiet here, but trouble is feared at Panama. I shall send one hundred men to Panama to-morrow Russia Buying American Vessels.

It is stated on the authority of a naval officer that the Russian Minister to the United States has endeavored to secure the service of a naval officer here in purchasing a number of small vessels, used between San Francisco and the Sandwich Islands in transporting sugar. The. ves sels are to be used, the officer says, iu praying on English commerce in Japanese and Indian waters, should war be declared between Russia and England The Norfolk Bank's Statement. The following preliminary statement of ifie resources and liabilities of the Exchange National Bank oi Norfolk, is compiled from the examiner's repot: sources Bills receivable uver drafts United Sia e-- fionas to secure cirt ulstn 1 dr pi st $275 000; United States bonbs on hand $3 350; miscellaneous rediscounted pap total $4,068 522 The ciiculalion and Uni-ed Slates deposils are fudy protected bv a deposit of, United Stales bonds with he Treasury of the United States. Comptroller Candor makes the follow ing statement in regard to the examiners report: There will be' without dount Seri ous loss on the indebtedness of Bain Bros and also upon certain securities which have, been turned over to the Exchange National Bank by this firm Serious loss will also result from the indebtedness of other large borrowers, including President Whitehead and Geo.

Bain, Cashier. It is impossible at present to predict what the outcome will be, so far as the creditors of the bank are concerned, but here must inevitably be a large proportionate loss. The bills receivable and miscellaneous stocks anil bonds respectively include a large amount of paper and securities, which are ol purely local cha acter, and hence in view of ihe depressed state of affairs in Norfolk' and vicinity must be regarded as ol doubt ful value. Termination of Treaties. The Secretary of the Treasury has re eived a formal notice (rom the State Department that ihe two of 1870 now existing between this Government md Peru will terminate bv notice from he latter on the 31st of March, 1886.

ments have not lessened the gravity of the siiuatioo. The country will not be Satisfied with DtGriers reply, which commits Russia to no condemnation of Komarofls action, provide-for delay when days and hou are of vital consequence, and leaves Komarofl at liberty to Irame such excuses as wiil most likely affect European opinion. It is impossible to doubt that Komarofls act had much larger aims than the ejection of the Afghans from an unimportant position. A dispatch from ot. Peteisburg says decorations and rewards have already been conferred by telegraph on tile Rus siaD officers and sold ers who took part'd) the battle with the Afghans.

Various rumors are afloat to the effect that rone English officers were killed in the Russo Aigtian engagement, and that the Aighai have risen against the English.

When the measure comes up for acuon in Parha ment, they willndtavor to make 1 effective by vaiious obstructive-amendments. War Preparations.

The War Office is overwhelmed with offers of seivir.e sent in by army, militia and volunteer officers. The recruiting depots in London and in the provinces are daily besi; ged by men anxious to enter tue military service. In view of the prospect of war with Russia suitable applicants are being accepted as rapidly as can be arranged. A.l die Admirals ol British navy have been notified to hold themselves in readiness for active service, special injunetiun have been sent by the Admiralty to Vice-Admiral Lord John Hay, commanding the British iquadron in die Mediterranean, 10 hold himself and fleet ready for service. A very determined and grave position has been assumed by the English Government toward Russia concernit the Pcnjdeh incident The m.m.-try appears, has been coerced by the aggres Mveness 01 public opinion into a tardy but evidently determined attitude of pugnacity.

Ai first Gladstone satisfird himsell with demanding of Russia an explanation of Gen. Komoraff's attack 1 tne Afghans He felt sure, it is stated, that Russia was sincerely desirous ol peace and discountenanced the action ot the commander no matter how thoroughly he might have represented the bellicose po icy of tne Si. Petersburg war -party, but when the Czar answeted he would explain io England as roon as Kom an ff exp ained to him, the Premier was forced to conclude ti at the Czar was tnfl ng to gain tnie. To day, therefore, Earl Granville, British Foreign Minister, advistd Baron DcStaA, the Russian Am-b-s ador to London, ih-t the Brni Government had decided that whatever the nature ol the explana ion ol Komarofls action might be, Great Br ita would nn allow any for her concerning the delimitation of the Afghan frontier to go on until the Russian troops have been withdia from their present position in the disputed territory, back to the positions which they occupied at the time England appo nted her part ol the commission to a. just tne Afghan frontier.

As this was nearly a year ago aCd as almost all of he Russian advance had bten made in ti inter val, it is difficult to believe that Russia wdl seriously attempt to reach an amicable uuderstgnaing. Count Von Munster, German Ambassador to Loudon, is given as authority lor the most significant utterances on the" part of the British Ministers The German Minister says that at a conference on the Afghan situation held yesterday Lord Granville declared that England had re solved that it was impossible to consent to a continuance of diplomatic discussion with Russia, unless England was guaranteed security against having the results of controversy imperilled by collisions on the disputed (rentier such as had occurred on Kushk. England, Lord Granville said, must reluse to accept Russias assurance that sne desires peace, unless the assurance was accompanied by the withdrawal cf troops to a line drawn from Tepi to Sani Yari. At the German and Russian embassies here the opinion is expressed that the dispute between the Czar and Great Brit ain has actually reached its final phase in diplomacy. DeGiers, Russian Prime Min ister, through Baron DeStaal has offered to abandon the Russian proposal to ex tend the line of debatable ne proposed by England so as to include the Parapa-missno mountains, and recur to the line suggested in ihe Lessar proposals.

This offer on the part of the Russian Premier, while apparently containing a concession, 1 is considered to be really a ruse to modify the effects of Gtn. Komarofis attack and to gain time.

Ihe manner in which he got his wife illustrates the character of the man Being on a journey in the interior, he was rn et tained oy a merchant of some who had a daughter, a rosebud oi a grl, whose beauty struck a responsive chord in ihe heart of the widower President. Before leaving the place he informed h's host that he desired to make the girl his wife, but as she was no: quite old enough to be married he wished htr sent to school and educated in English and French conversation, in music, embroideiy and anting. In about two years he thought she would be of sufficient age and ac complishments' to preside in the Prtsi der.tial Palace, when he would formally ask the honor of her hand in marriage. Ihe proposition rather staggered the country merchant, and ne was oniy able reply, Si, st the girl is youis; but in his mind he determined that no daughter of his should ever he ihe wile Rufino Barrios. The President, however, kept an eye on the family, and twice sent an officer to remind them ab the school arrangement belore the father carried it out.

He also advertised extensively that he had seltcied the maiden as his future wife, and would mar-y her as soon as her education was toil ieted The two years parsed and Barrios cla med ms bride. 1 lie girl refused to marry him, and tire father sustained her in the reiusal, expressing his views ol 1) is would-be son-111-ia in no guarded terms To speak evil of the King is treason here, as it used to be in gland in the ume of Henry VIII, and tne country merchant was promptly a rested. His property was conuscaied the use of the gov eminent, and he was sen to work in the streets whh a ball and chain on his leg. It seems like a fi.ten;h century romance, but every 1 ne in Guatamala knows ihe Story is true. Finally, tthe girl, frightened at her fathers distress, gave in and ged Ihe old gentleman to yield his con enf.

He re luctantiy did so, and attended the most brilliant wedding feast that was ever known in Central America. The bride received a diamond necklace and coronet, $500,000 in and the fintst residence in. Guatemala. The father w. released from arrest, his prooeriy was restored to him, he was established in the banking business and became the fiscal agent of.

the government, which is worth a small fortune to him every year. Barrios very generously forgave the old man, and the two are now great chums. Mrs Barrios is the luvliest woman in Guatemala, beautiful in ch iracter as well as in person, socially brilliant and graceful, charitable beyond all precedent in a country where the poor are usually permitted to lake care ol themselves, generous aud hospitable, a good mother to a fine family of children, and a devoted Wile, loyal to all the Presidents ambitions, and an enthusiastic supporter of all his ch-me. 1 heir rude cour ship intensified the devotion of their married life, a id 'he most ardent admnerof President Barrios to day is his own homehold, here is a tender spot in the tyran.s heart, lor he is devotedly attached to wife and children, whose portraits stand always before him upon desk in the executive office.
