"DoBn below, on the floor of the house,
beautiful women danced and promenaded,
carrying their long trains over their arms,

gold, silver, diamond or black powder,
way up, up, upl on thevery crown Of their
heads; many Of them dis6gured fair faces
with bits Of court plaster, to show the

CHAPTER II.

Tall, bearded, and sun -bronzed, I
knocked at the door of my fathers resi-
dence. The lights in the parlor window,
and the hum of conversation and cheerful
laughter showed me that company was
assembled there. / hoped sister Lizzie
would come to the door, and that I might
greet my family when no strange eye was
looking carelessly on.
But no--a servant answered my sum-
mons. They were too merry In the par
lor to heed the long absent one who ask !
ed for admittanee. A bitter thought like
this ran through my mind as | heard the
sounds from the parlor and saw the half:

N yself known or asking for any Of the

apparition grew up before me; from be-
hind the servant peered out q small gol-

and a sweet, childish face, with blueeyes

Emcacy OF onions.

AWriter says: I'VE are troubled often
with severe coughs, the result of colds Of
long standing, which may turn to con-
sumption or premature death. Hard
coughs cause sleepless nights by con
stant irritation in the throat, t,Iand strong
effort, to throw off offensive matter from
the lungs. The remedy propose has
been tried by me, and recommended by
me with good result, which is simply to
take into the stomach before retiring for
the night a piece Of raw onion, after
chewing. This esculent, in an uncooked
state, is very heating, and collects the
waters from the lungs and throat causing
immediate relief to the patient.

of one DR.. Wight to a Miss Chamberlain
At the last fall term Of the Floyd Cir

cation for divorce from his wife, the prin-

won hamberlain. Judge Bicknell
heard ia eYs5ence and refused to grant
the divorce, E DIM aistering to the man
Wight severe and merited reprimand
for his proceedings IN the case.
Wight, however determined to marry
his swift witness Chamberlain, again
sought divorce in Huntington county.
where he obtained it, the court hearing
but one side Of thetestimony shat given
BY the woman Chamberlain. Having his
divorce in his pocket, Wight and the
Chamberlain were married yesterday.
Wight's wife is a hopeless invalid; at
least she was so much an invalid as to no
longer be able to satisfy the desires of
her husband. The other woman prob
ably filled the bill much better. Wight
married his FIRST wife when she was goung
beautiful, and in good health. She Is
yet possessedof of good looks, notwithstan-

over her. She is a lady Of rare accom-
plishments. She was of good family and

cover damages for such injuries, for the
sole benefit OF the widow and next OF kin
of such deceased person.. A Joint reso-
