DIED,-On the 18th inst, in This place, DEBORAH
ANN, wife Of Hon. CYRUS TABER.-L0gGnsP0Tt Pho

We are surprised as well panied by the above
melancholy announcement. But few weeks ago,
while Senator Taber lying in this city i'll that
none expected his recovery, his lady, upon learning
the condition of her husband instantly left her home
and with that sefsacrcing and unwavering devotion
which ever characterizes the faithful wife, fastened
through the Indictment weather and over an al
most impossible road of 20 miles, to aid and comfort
him in his extremity. She was rewarded By bis re-
covery for her toll and Devotion which perhaps may
have sowed the seeds of her disease ana dssou-
ton! This repetition Of that proyidentia lesson,
not infrequently made manifest, that the shaft Of
Death is as likely to strike where unantcipated to
mortal eyes, it is to PROSTATE those who to be
lingering the threshold of eternity. When such
lessons do come, we can, if ever truly realize the
truth of the sentiment expressed by the poet
The dead-ihe dead,
The silent dead who speak in tones Of thrilling eloquence
Aud he who listens with attentive heart,
May from these relics Of mortality pershing,
Lessons Of wisdom Iearn which gid the pathway the
tombs,
Support the trembling ootsep deaths troubled waters
And strengthen the fading vision to behold undimmd
The lights and shadows Of eternity.

erals in each of these countries, originated in the
"lower ORDERS" they are called in Anglo-Saxon,
among the people," as they called in any
ton Of CONTINENTAL Europe, and passed through all
the grades, from the private to the geneassmo. So
in France, where. since the revolution of 1889, no

door Of preermcnt in any department, civil or mill
tary, is opcnte all But in England, where republic
theories and republican institutions PREVAIL and
in our country, which boasts Of exclusive and pure
democracy, common soldiers and sailors seldom reach

few. And especially in our country, which Processes

PREDICTION OF HUMBoLDr.-In "Folsom's Mexi-
co." New York, 1912, is the following quotation from
Humboldt -" The distance from New Orleans to the
city of Mexico, is about $40 leagues, or 1920 miles,
1t presents very few obstacles till it reaches the Rio
Grande-and the ascent from the table lands begins
only from Saltillo, where the decvity is by
rapid: and we have doubt, considering the
progress Of civilization ON the new continent, that
land communication will gradually become very frc-
quent between the United States and New SPAIN
Public coaches wia one day roll on from Washington
TO Merico, and Acapulco on the Pacific" This pre-
dicton is about to be fulfilled. The late campaign
has given the Mexicans more knowledge of steamboats,
and wagons than they probably had before; and
enough Americans will remain among them to show
them how to them, in preference to the backs of
mules.

A SUCCESSFUL RAILRoAD.-Of all the Massachu-

worth at the present time % per cent. advance The
road is fifty miles in length, and cost, up to January
last, 81 900. The gross income last year, was
S203, 1896, and the expenses were 1888, leaving
Sl25 665, for earnings. The accounts for divi-
dends are made up to February i, and August l.
The dividends paid by this company ten per cent
per annum. More than two thirds of the whole bust
ness has been local or way business" The num-
Der Of miles by the engines was 1886 during
the year. The new lines, which in few years will
be tributary to this already profitable and wemanaged
property. cannot but add materially to its present

scene he recently witnessed in the wealthy city of
Boston:
"In miserable howell which he entered, he found

couple were being married-the bridegroom wearing
the very clothes which the dead had just cast of
and every thing was going on merrily though it

HINTS TO THE BALD-HEADED.-According TO the
following extract from editorial article in the Bos-
ton Medical and Surgical Journal the easy and
way TO prevent badness is to go bare-headed, or
wear a well ventilated hat:
refined civilization has brought with ii train of
physical evils which is the province of science to
control subdue. Our tight hats, our warm rooms,
closely fitting caps, silk night-caps from which the
persprabe matter cannot escape, by their combined
agency, in connection with other influences not al
ways easy to define, bring off the hair prematurely,
and turn it gray than personal vanity is willing
to exhibit such evidences of decay. And this is not
ali the skin i; actually in low state of disease the
effects Of which are recognized in the accumulation
of dandruf, desquamation of the epidermis. The
bulbs of the hairs infamed, also from the same
cause and from year TO year the hair degenerates and
becomes thinner, not unrequenty ending in badness.
On all that part Of the head not covered viz the back
side, between the and on the temples, the hair
generally remains to extreme old age, however much
the vertext mag be denuded
If females equally tight coverings, they would
probably suffer very much in the same manner but
their light airy bonnets admit of ventilation and hence

nifty of seeing various tribes, in all the forms of
trained savage life--but spare head of hair was
never noticed. Atmospheric exposure conduces to
the luxuriance of the hair and healthful condition
of the scalp.

ANEcDoTE OF THE DUKE OF WELLNGToN.-The
following is related by the correspondent Of the Sat-
urday Courier: Gan incident much to the Dukes
credit was mentioned to me having taken place at
a bali given at Apsley House. A few years since,
after the statue of Napoleon had been placed at
the foot of the grand stairway, few ladies of
high rank, ascending to the ball room, intention
ally thoughtessly threw over the outsreched arm
of the statue their costly cashmere shawls, intimating
by so doing that if Napoleon alive his proper
place would be, where his statue then stood, in the
hall of his conqueror. In the of the evening,
the Duke, on descending the stairs, with ndigna-
ton the insult offered to him In his own house, he
thought, and calling his body servant ordered him to
take charge of those shawls, pointing to the statue,
and hold them until he called for them As the ladies'
surrounding the Duke previous to their depart
ure, he turned and whispered to servant in waiting
Immediately the shawls were brought in, and the
Duke, holding them up, stated what had occurred,
and how deeply notifying it was to his feelings
thought it was both indecorous and thoughtess espe-
caily in his house, &C. The shawls then sent
to the ladies' drawng-room and there remained, no
one claiming them. After few months had elapsed,
and calling for the costly garments, the
Duke sent them to auction, and the proceeds were
placed in the funds of the Waterloo Orphan Society {"
