TIE VICTIMS OF A MANIAc.-A horri.
BILE incident recently occurred in the City
of Trebizond, Turkey. In the space OF
few minutes seventeen victims tellu
der the knife Of madman, each victim
receiving but a single wound, which in
all cases was aimed at the heart. The
assassin commepced his butcheries at
eight o'clock in the morning, armed with
knife sharpened on two edges, the blade
of which was about six or seven inches
in length. Having fastened the knife to
his hand with cord. keeping the blade
beneath his arm, thus prepared he COM
menced walking slowly up the street,
seizng his opportunity to stab every one
whom he found within his reach, ard
quickly conoealing his weapon after each
murderous blow, left his surprised vic
tins totally unconscious of the hand that
dealt their death wound, and unable to
denounce the assassin. An end was finally
put to the bloody work by a baker, who
succeeded in telling the assassin to the
earth with a we'll aimed blow from q
heavy stick of wood, when he was i'm
mediately seized, disarmed and handed
over to the authorities. The excitement
and horror created among the entire pop
ulation Of Trebizond was so great that
the government was obliged to hasten
the execution, and after summary trial
the cuprit was taken into the public
square and beheaded in the presence of
the whole population cf the city.

Adventures Of a Dressing Gown.

A lady was anxious to make her hus-
band present on the occasion of his
birthday, and it happening. to fall in the
winter she thought dressing gown would
be most useful acquisition to his do.
mestic comforts. So she went and pur-
chased fine Persian pattern, one well
wadded. Not remembering the exact
height of her husband, she thought it best
to purchase one rather too long, than two
short, to make sure of its usefulness.
Tho day was wet, her husband returned
in the afternoon, and she presented him
with new article of comfort; and he
fancied it indeed great comfort after he
had put off his wet garments. But it
was about ten inches too long.
cob! never mind" said the affection
ate wife, 81 can easily shorten it to suit
you.'
They had party in the evening, and
were very merry; and every one admired
the beautiful dressing gown. After they
had gone to bed the wind and rain made
such noise that the wife could not sleep !;
her husband, however, snored musically.
She arose without disturbing him-took
the dressing gown and commenced her
work, cutting of about the length of ten
inches to make it suit her husbands stat
ure and then went to bed again. In the
morning she was up early to some ar
rangements with the house.ieeper, as
several friends were expected to dinner
that day. Scarcely had the lady left the
room, when her sister-a good naturcd
old lady who lived with them-stepped
in on tp.toe, in order not to disturb the
sleeper, took the dressing gown, and has
tened to her own room, cut of about ten
inches, as she knew it was too long the
night before. An hour after, the gentle
man avoke, and was row anxious to sur.
prise his affectionate wife. Ringing for
the servant, he was told to take the dress
ing gown to the tailor and have it made
shorter by ten inches. The good wife
was detained longer than she expected
and scarcely had the dressing gown re.
turned from the tailor's, when she came
in the room. Her husband had just risen,
and proposed now to surprise his wife
and enjoy iscomfort. Buthow surprised

fine Persian pattern shooting jacket in

AN USLUoKY DIvoRcE-Jamos NJ.
Grant, Of Bridgeport, recently obtained
a divorce from his wife Julia, and the
fact was announced in the Bridgeport
Farmer. The next day Mrs. Grant
informed the public, through the col
umns of the same paper, that the no.
tice was the first she had heard of the
matter. Last week Mrs. Grant re-
ceived information from England that
deceased relative had left her be-
tween $4,000 and 100000, and Mr..
Grant is said to be somewhat dis
gusted at the turn which affairs have
taken, and is fruitlessly lamenting
that divorce. Mrs. Grant will bo re-
collected by our citizens as a resident
OF Hartford for considerable period,
and as especially distinguished for her
equestrianship, having been awarded
premiums at several State fairs

1ne Rroken Hearted.

George ID. Prentice is, perhaps, best
known as wit, punster and political
writer. But from his facile pen flows
also the sentimental and the beautiful.
The following description has lost
none of its freshness and beauty;
"About two years ago i took up my
residence for few weeksin a country
village in the eastern part Of New
England, Soon after my arrival l be-
came acquainted with a young lady,
apparently about seventeen years of
age. She had lost the idol of her hearts
purest love, and the shadows of deep
and hoy memories were resting like
the wing of death upon her brow.
first met her in the presence of the
mirthful. She was indeed, a creature
to be admired her brow was garland
ed by the young years sweetest flow
ers and her sunny tresses were hang
ing beautiful and low upon her bosom,
and she moved through the crowd
with such floating, unearthly grace
that the bewildered gazer looked
almost to see her fade away into the
airlike the,creation ofa pleasant dream.
She smiled, but there was something
in her smile which told me that its
mournful beauty was but the reflection
Of tear, and her eyelids at times
pressed heavily down, as if struggling
to repress the tide of agony that was
bursting up from her hearts secret
urn. She looked as if she could have
left the scene of festivity, and gone on
beneath the quiet stars, and laid her
forehead down upon the fresh, green
earth, and poured out her stricken
soul gush after gush, till it mingled
with the eternal fountain of purity
and life.
l have lately heard that the young
lady of whom | have spoken, is dead.
The close of her life was calm as the
falling of a quiet stream, gentle as the
sinking of the breeze that fingers for a
time round bed of withered roses,
and then dies for very sweetness.
Itcannot be that earth is mans only
abiding place. 1t cannot be that our
lite is a bubble cast up by the ocean OF
eternity, to float q moment upon its
surface, and then sink into nothing
ness and darkness forever. Else why
is it that the high and glorious aspira-
tions which leap like angels from the
temple of our hearts are forever wan
dering abroad unsatisfed Why is il
that the rainbow and the cloud come
over us with beauty that is not OF
earth, and then pass of and leave us
to muse on their faded lovelinessg Why
is it that the stars which hold their
festival around the throne are set
above the grasp of our limited facul.
ties, and forever mocking us with their
unapproachable glory' And, finally,
why is it that forms of human beauty
are presented TO the view and then Ia
ken away from us, leaving the thous.
and streams of affections to flow back
in an Alpine torrent upon our hearts !

should not carry thcm about them on
the very trips against which they
insure themselves. Amongthose bod

Accidental Insurance policies were
