as she paused after the giddy whirl of the dance
she turned her eyes toward the pale, grietsricken
Strauss, in his robes of sorrow and mourning, and
met his piercing look of despairing love-
1t was more than pity she felt-it was remorse'
it was kindly love. A terrible pain awoke in her
heart, like swelling stream, growing ever wider
and deeper, threatening to overwhem and destroy
her quite. Gladly would she have wept, but she
dared not. 1t sounded twelve o'clock, and Strauss
gave the signal for the performance of the new
waltz. The gay dancers stood up, Sophie on the
arm of the happy bridegroom. All stand spell

strongest man the world has produced since Sam

iniinitissimal sugar pill, he prescribes chunk "
OF iron, weighing, according the state of the pa
tlent, from one or two hundred to thousand OF
hfteen hundred pounds! Unlike some other doc
| tors, DIR. Wlnshp attests his faith by taking his
own medicine, and prescrbes for himself a small
dose weighing 1900 pounds, which he intends by
ana by TO increase to 5000. After that he expects
to have further need of medicine

rheumatism and general debility. Of course, the
dose OF ton or two of pig ron is not TO be taken

IL Is SIMPLY to be 'lifted.n But Just imagine a
man with one lung shouldering locomotive steam

recommends as a substitute for drugs
theoretically, we have no doubt DR.. Winship's
new system OF medicine is good one Mankind
is too much given to the swallowing of drugs, and
not always for medicinal purposes. But ii is the
abuse, and not the use of anything. which is evil.
Or. Sangrado's blood-lettng and warm water
doubtless were not without some good uses. To
Ihe eternal praise OF sugar pills be it said, they
are not very dangerous. And Dr. Winships pre-

While leisure moment beguiling,
We met Billie Whitfield, who, smiling
Iy laid his kindly hand upon us,
And remarked that for our own bonus.
We'd better step into his store
For there we'd find something to please us.
Which, if we were sick, would ease us,
And if we were dry would wet US,
And if we took much would upset us
Only this, and nothing more.
With that grace so characteristic
Ot us, when we are wet, dry or sick,
We at once consented to follow,
(For we hadn't single dollar,
And we wanted drink very much,)
For we smelt the tail of large rat,
As It is very we'll known fact, that
Billie is good judge of brandy,
And that he always keeps quite handy
Avery large bottle of such.
But his brandy turned out to be whisky,
Which we drank, but didn't get frisky,
And brought bottle to the devil,

SINGULAR Su1CIDE.-A stranger went to the
Collins House, Ravenna, Ohio, on Wednesday eve
nlng OF last week, registered his name as E. R.,
Rayne, Ceaveand, Ohio, and paid tor his lodging
and breakfast the next morning, after which he
went out and was not seen again until next fore
noon, when he came into the house in dying con.
ditlon and expired in less than two hours from the
effects OF poison and liquor. 1t was since ascer-
tanned that he had been member of Battery K,
FIRST ONO Light Artillery, where he was always
noted TOR his peculiar actions, seeking but little
association, drawing his ratlons and cooking them
himself, and sleeping alone. He was spiritualist
ana frequently said certain spirits followed him
! wherever he went, particularly of young lady
Whow he knew and loved in England, but who
died before he came to this country.
His object in coming to this country was to rid
himself of her spirit. This he was unable entirely
to do, though at times an interval would pass by
without its presence. This continued haunting
depressed his mind, and his peculiar conduct was
attributed to his monOmana ON it.. On the night
before he committed suicide he said this shirt
came and stood by his bed, and it troubled him ::
that he thought he had got rid of it, and when he
came to Ravenna, he felt happier than ever before
in his life; but that presence had cIouded every
thlng over again., He appeared moody dur
ing Thursday, and refused to go to dinner.
After taking the poison he showed the vial to
Mr. Davidson. and said he had taken it full of laud
anum, and that it would do the job. He had
promised to meet her in the other world, and he
would go there and be happy" He resolutely re-
sisted oil attempts to relieve him of the poison and
died without further explanation.
