A REMARKABLE BREACH OF PROMISE
CAsE.-The suit of Amanda ). Craig against
Elisha G.. Sprague for breach of premise OF
marriage, damages being laid at 100000
commenced at Wheaton, Ill.,, on Monday
the venire having been changed from Chicago.
Both parties live in Cincinnati, and the de-
fendant is a heavy real estate owner in Chi
cago. 1t is represented by the plaintiff that
defendant became acquainted with her in
1850, and began and continued his assiduous
attentions to her, unsuccessfully, up to 1865,
when she finally consented to become his
wife. The marriage day was fixed for Sep
tember Is, 1855, and the lady, giving up her
position as teacher in the Cincinnati High
School, proceeded to prepare her bridal trets-
seau: AT the appointed time MIR. Spraeue
failed to make his appearance, making vari-
GUS excuses for deferring the marriage. In
February, 1866, he promised to be married
within ten days, but again proved false, and
finally married another woman at Rockford,
Ill. The mother of The plaintiff testified that
on the occasion OF his visits to the plainti1
Mr. S2rague frequently stated that he was
worth over $500, 900, but all Of his money was
Of no sort OF consequence to him without
her to share it. Indeed, unless she married
him, he could find no happiness in this world |;
but Il she only would, he should be the very
happiest man in all creation. He used to
bring large sums of money with him-some-
times $4,000 or $4,000 in greenbacks-
which he would pour into the lap of the
plaintiff just to show her how rich a husband
she might have if she would only say the
word. She disliked this display, and on her
demonstrating he discontinued it. In course
OF time she grew to respect and love him, and
terribly distressed at bis iaithlessness, and sui
Tered serious Illness In consequence. g
The case is still in progress. The defendant
is much older than the lady.

We have also received another volume of the
illustrated edition of Waverly, by the Apple
tons, containing "Heart of Mid Lothian"
sFair Maid of Perth, Woodstock" &C., 4
popular edition, as everybody knows.
Even while we write, Messrs. Bailey &
Noyes have sent another new book for the
Young People, entitled tommy Try, and
What He ID d for Science" 1t is one of the
most inviting books of the season, published
by the Appletons and richly illustrated.
Hall l.. Davis remembers us with the new
est issue from the great house of Fields Os-
good & Co., and which Is nothing less than
sour New Way Round The World" by Carl
eton." This book needs no word from us cx-
cept that it is complete record OF "Carle-
ton's' travels and is work OF over 800 pages
most literally illustrated. Nothiog we say
about the character of the book could hardly
make it more familiar than it is already 10
those who have read 'Four Years OF Fighting"
Following the Flag" &c., or even any of the
sketches of the authors recent "Round the
World" travels.
The same enterprising bookseller has also
received "Pendennis, of the new edition OF
Thackery, from the same Publishing House as
the above, and which edition we have before
described, and which is being received with
even more favor than we anticipated. The
work will be marvel of eheapness and ele-
gance combined.
From Loring, Short & Harmon, we have the
following list, first of which is a new novel,
founded largely upon fact, entitled "A Strand
| ed Ship," By L. Clarke Davis, and which is
dedicated 'ro the Crew OF Dick & Charlie"
g. P. Putnam & Son, publishers.
The ''Virginians," another of the cheap Sc
ries of the Thackery publications, is ready at
the same place, price IS cents.
European Vineyards" by VIM. j. Flagg, is
new book from the Harpers. It will be
| found thorough treatise upon wine culture,
and if the coming man is really to drink wine,
how to produce it is matter Of the utmost
consequence to those of our people who live
where grapes can be grown. 1T is eminently
| good book, and treats every theme pei tanning
| to grape culture and wine making faithfully
| and familiarly.
Waterloo; a Sequel to the Conscript," is a
| historical novel OF the Erckmann. Chatrian Sc
ries, whose scenes are laid in the terrible days
that preceded the declnel of Napoleon the
Great. All Of these translations are very fine,
aud whoever has read "The Conscript of 1913"
will hardly fail to read this supplemental work
"Two Years Before the Mast" We have
received from Fields, Osgood & Co., through
Hall L. Davis, a new and revised edition of

many readers during period of thirty years.
The present edition contains notes of second
visit to the same points thirty-fve years after

f Misery IN THE RIcHEsr Country IN THE
WoRLD-A private letter from White Pine,
Nevada, under date of May %, just received
by Mr.. Edward P. Novel;, editor Of the Amer
lean Odd Fellow, states that there was great
deal OF sickness among the miners and others
in that region. The smallpox prevails there
to considerable extent, a large per centage
Of the cases resulting fatally. Pneumonia is,
however, the most common complain, and
the writer advises people with unsound lungs
to give the silver mountains OF Nevada a wide
berth. The mountains were covered with a
fresh mantle OF snow, and an incessant gale Of
wind was sweeping over them. Old miners,
who have Travelled over the country from Brit.
ish Columbia to Arizona, unhesitatingly pro-
nounce White Pine the toughest country they
ever struck. The letter represents that what
White Pine most needs is capital and mills.
The country is rich in minerals, but money is
requisite TO develop its wealth. Many owners
of valuable claims are compelled to allow
them to remain unimproved on this account,
and it is almost impossible to induce capital
| lists to pay therefor the value OF the precious
c,stal actually in sight. This state OF affairs

but not altogether incredible story:
A paragraph about clerk in Washington,
who IS kept in Office because he has been in
office these twenty years, reminds me OF a
story heard few weeks ago of one OF our
mi lionaire merchants and one of his porters
This porter had been iD the merchants en-
ploy for fifteen years. He had large family,
and OF course could save no money. About
three months ago his wife and six children
were all Frustrated at the same time by scar
let fever. As he could not remain away from
the store he had to hire woman to take
care of them. Very soon he found himself
penniless. Needing money sorely, and think
ing his employer might aid him, be laid the
whole case before the merchant, describing
the condition of his family, and then appeal
ing for an increase OF wages partly on the
ground of fifteen years service. The mer-
chant heard him through and then said:
Z And so, my man, l have been supporting
your family Tor fifteen years ?"
The porter was iaken- -aback by this. but
rejecting on his needs he answered, "Yes,
sir."19p gsad d alaf saai'si Ts----.-'

Many Of the comments on the battles 3,,rino
the later struggles between the North and m :

history, which is extensively read by the in
structors and cadets, but is not regularly ad-
mitted as textbook to the Academy. In
many respects the graduates recited accord
ing TO their own theories, derived in part
from their tutors, and gave descriptions OF
military movements with all the ease and
precision OF veteran soldiers.
The same correspondentsay that "a Board
OF Examiners has recently been appointed by
the War Office TO look after the physical quail
i6cations of the cadets. $50 far as the gradu-
ates are concerned, the examination will be
very easy, few OF them ever being in condi-
tion of disability" This is an interesting
fact, and shows how much the average of hui
man lfe, and especially of health, might be
raised by the voluntary enforcement upon
themselves by individuals of the Temperance
and observance OF sanitary laws which th'
cadets are compelled to adopt as their rule o
