Married the Wrong Lady.

Love is a very uncertain thing, and it
is not safe to be too certain of the symp-
toms until they are unmistakable. The
following will explain our meaning,
Vienna has been stirred up, lately, by
the comical result of a strange love story.
1t seems that in the house of one Herr
Kuhne, a teacher of languages, DR.. Kant,
a young lawyer, happened to make the
acquaintance of lady, burdened with
some property and thirty years. The
lady boing unmarried, evinced particular
interest in the young, shy, and rather
abased man of law. She made love to
him, in fact, very strongly, and persuaded
him to visit her at her house. One even.
ing while conversing with the doctor, she
said {:
"With your favorable idea of matri-
mony, may I ask if you ever thought of
marrying yoursolf?"
DR.. Kant sighed, and his eyes resting
on the ground, hesitatiugly muttered in
reply ...4
II have already thought of marrying
and have made my choice, but"
"But 2" the lady hastily interposed.
"But," he continued, "the lady is rich,
very rich, and | am poor. I am afraid
could hardly aspire to her hand, and rather
than allow myself to be taxed with sordid
designs, 1 would bury my passion in my
breast, and leave it unavowed forever.'
At an early hour on the following day
she, however, betook herself to solicitor,
and 10 legal form, declared her wish to
present and hand over as his property the
sum of 100000 guildon-(915, OOO)-to
DIR. Kant. When the document had
been signed, countersigned, and duly COM
pleted, she sat down in the Office, and
enclosing 1t in an elegant envelope, added
note to following effect: "Dear sir-I
have much pleasure in enclosing a paper
which | hope will remove the obstacle in
the way of your marriage. Believe me,
&C., Alice Martini DR.. Kant, for he
and no other was the addressee, was the
happiest man in the world on receiving
this generous epistle. Repairing at once
to the parents of Fraulein Fischel, the
lady of his love, he proposed for and re-
ceived the hand of girl who had long been
fattcred by his delicate though unavowed
attentions. His reply to Fraulein Martini,
besides conveying his sincerest thanks,
contained two cartes de visite, linked to-
gether by the significant rose-colored
ribbon. Miss Martini forthwith sued the
happy bridegroom for restitution, but, as
no promise of marriage had been made,
the case was by two successive courts, de.
cided against, her.

DUTCH CURE FOR DRUNKENNESS
The Boston :. eaical Journal says the fol-
lowing cure for drunkenness is practiced
in Holland:
The patient is shut up in room and
debarred all communication, except with
his physician. AS often as he pleases
spirits-brandy, whiskey, gin, etc.-are
given him, but mixed with two-thirds
water all other drinks, such as beer,
coffee, wine, ETC., are mingled with one
third brandy. The various kinds of food,
too, that are furnished him-bread, meat,
etc.,-are all prepared with brandy, con-
sequently the patient is in state of con-
tinual intoxication. This lasts about five
days at the end of that time he asks
with entreaty for other nourishment,
without his request being complied with,
and not until his organs absolutely abhor
any alchuhol. The cure is complete, and
from that period tho very smell of spirits
produces on him almost the effect of an
emetic.

We cling to errors with an affection we

She lives. almost in sight,
And now its after nine O'clock
Perhaps he's there tonight
I'd almost write to him to come
But then I've said won't;

SATURDAY MORNING, JULY s.
SHALL WE HAVE A REDucr1oN OF

SHALL WE HAVE A REDUCTION OF
Prices? -The exorbitant prices which
prevails in our family markets, is be-
coming matter of such serious i'm
portance that consumers will eventually
be compelled to adopt some measures
to remedy an evil that is becoming un-
supportable. Notwithstanding the ter
nlination of the war, the decline in
gold and the plentiful season of the
year, all of which should tend to pro-
duce material decline in all the neces-
saries of life, we find that all articles
sold in our markets command prices
which will soon be beyond the reach of
the masses, who will be compelled to
leave the city or find some other source
of supply. Our markets seem to be
entirely controlled by hucksters, who
have banded together to keep prices
above fair and just standard. 1t will
be observed by those who are in the
habit of purchasing the family supplies,
that of late but few farmers attend our
markets, and that the business is main
~ conducted by hucksters. People are
thus compelledtop purchase from second
hands, and pay just such prices as these
spectators choose to demand. So com
plctely do they control the market that
supplies can only be obtained in very
limited quantities, often scarcely suffi-
cicnt to meet the daily wants of our
citizens. We find that the same evil
has existed in other cities, and
to such an extent that people
have been compelled to organize
i'll self defense, and establish depots
where supplies are obtained ut the low
est rates and sold 10 consumers at cost.
These enterprises have met with mark
cd success, and have brought about
material reduction i'll the cost of many
of the staple articles of food. The same
is true i'll regard TO fuel. In the east asso-
ciations have been formed, which pur-
chase and sell at greatly reducedPrices.
As IL sample of what may be accom-
plished in this way we give the follow
ing extract from the New York Times,
which shows that while we are paying
from fifteen to twenty cents per pound
for beef, it is selling in the great me-
tropolis ofthe country at five and six
cents, and TINT even at those rates the
quantity in market cannot be sold.
THE FALL. IN NIEAr.-The heavy fall
in the price of meat, which we recorded
III our last, involves n lesson for both
buyers and sellers. The weather was
intensely hot, it is true, but that was
not the reason why the Washington
Market butchers sat idle, and finally
had to throw away what they could not
sell mt five or six cents Il pound. The
public would not buy, and will not
The price must come much lower before ]
they will. Meanwhile the drOvers have,
by their extreme folly, given n great inn /.
petus TO the jerlled or infiltrated beef
enterprise, and will soon find that, for
the sake of n temporary excess of profit /
they have raised mp n permanent and !
competitor in the supplying Of
meat.
