clatter of horses feet. whirf of
wheels, shrieks from the people in the
street, nothing where the carriage had
stood an instant before, and all the
crowd rushing in one directions =
Iknew nothing more until the wo-
men stood about me, and with pififul
voices and streaming eyes told me
that my bridegroom was dead I. He

picked him up-that word was E'Nan-

Well, Heaven knows I was remorse
full and that / wept for him and had
meant to be true wife to- him and it

The exploration of the scene of the
disaster in the Nevada mines revealed
q horrible sight. Nine of the bodies
found in the Crown Point mine were
lying close together, in every position,
short distance from the pump shaft.
The air pipe was broken-evidently
by these unfortnnates in their frantic
efforts to sustain life.i "A little further
off one was discovered sitting with his
back against post, with his head rest
ing on his open hand Upon the top
round of the pump-shaft ladder stood
another, with his arms tightly clasped
around the air pipe, which, in his des
perate agony, lie had disjoined in sew
eral places. The body of another,
one of the nine found near together.
was lying across the chair or crossbar
at the 300 station, where he must have
fallen from the 600 station, at which
level he was known to have been at
work. The corpse was horrible
sight, being nearly cut in two-the
bowels protruding, limbs smashed,
and the face fearfully mutilated-so
that it could only be recognized by the
hair and clothing. 1t is supposed that
he ran to the station, at the 600 level
to ring the bell for the cage, became
asphyxiated by the gas, and fell down
the shaft; or else that he walked into
it in his excited desire to escape. In
order to remove the mangled body it
was necessary to lash it to plank in
the most careful manner, lest it should
fall to pieces.

Mother the ebbing tide of years, u!
Hath borne thee on till now;
Thine eyes are dimmed with many tears.
And Wrinkied is thy brow;
Yet, since thy girftsood's happy days,
It's beauty and its grace,
As painted now in memory's rays,
- There seems but Httle space.
short seems the tiae since first bride,
q Thy promise true WAS given,
To him who in his joy and pride,
Found in thy love bis heaven;
And well was kept that marriage VOW
To be faithful wife;
And in thy heart Itis sacred now,.g
As in thy welded life,
Though he who then beside thee stood,
And answering pledges gave,
The husband. noble, brave and good,
Is resting in his grave. sg
And since hesIeeps the last long sleep,
And answers not thy lore,
know thine eyes have learned to weep,
Thy heart seeks rest above.
! The passing years have bent thy form,
And silyered Ger thy hair;
And he who brayed life's hercest Storm.
And shared thy toll andoare.
Hath left thee Tor the world Of light,
And now since he hath gone,
know earth seems realm of night
Thy spirit dwells alone
Tet mot alone for many hearts,
Whose life is drawn from thine,
Are of thy being mystic parts,
And loves pure light shall shine,
With gladsome radiance ON the way,
Thy trembling steps must tread.
And Alial hearts will ever pray
For blessings ON thy head.

Through each long weary year,
Crown resteth not on human brow,

The saint Of cloistered shade,

All honors 70 them paid
To calmly suffer, bravely do,

To be TO every dnty true,

Who walk in raiment white,
But soonwe all VIII gather there.

they furnish satisfactory city refer

"Then," quoth Mr.. X, "the skins l

and, paying for the same, departed.
On the afternoon of the same day,
Just before the sailing of the New Bed
ford Packet, the young trader return
ed for his lot of furs. Throwing the
whole pack of furs~ upon his back, he
left the store, but had not proceeded a
dozen yards when Mr.. A. called his
name, bidding him come back. a..
"Sir," said Mr.. A., "you can have
credit for any amount of goods you
require, providing they are to be
found Iii my store" q, s
"But-" stammered Mr.. K, ebut,
my dear sir, can give you no city ref

/ ask no further recommenda tion, !"
replied the rich merchant, " than that
already furnished by yourself. The
man who is not above his business
need never be afraid to apply to John
Jacob Astor for assistance"
Thus commenced a trade between
two merchants, which continued to
the mutual satisfaction and advantage
of both for long term of years. Mr..
X. is now one of the most eminent
capitalists of New Bedford.

A CHILD whose religious training
had been constrainedand somber, ask
ed her mother one day: Mother, do
there be any Sundays up in Heaven?"
The shocked mother replied severely:
"Any Sundays? Why, Heaven is one
everlasting Sunday" Who can tell
what impious caricature of tho city of
God was painted by that single stroke
before that child's vision !? After pom
dering il for some time in the light of
memory, in ominous silence, she at last

In 1FTFa55 1Taa5, as we have said, Russia was
in her feeble infancy. In 1914 the
Cossacks of the Russian Don garri-
soned Paris, the headquarters of Eu-

year the Prussian hussars, under Blu-
cher, after the campaign of Waterloo
in 1916, entered the French capital.
Fifty years have passed since then.

BREACH OF PROMISE.
The Parties sixty Years of ACC.

The Cleveland Herald, on Monday last, con-
tanned the following
Many readers of our daily report of the pro-
ceedngs in the United States Court, during the
past week, may have wondered how the case of
Nancy Sloan VS.. William Pendergest, for breach
of promise to marry, could have got into court
supposed to be given exclusively to less sensa-
tional matters. But it got there in perfectly
legitimate way, and had just as much right there
as any other.
The law permits a nonresident defendant in
suit in State court, to have the transferred
to the United States court. Nancy Sloan sued
William Pendergest, then nonresident, in the
Trumbull Common Pleas, by attaching farm
alleged to belong to him. He preferred to have
the case taken away from local influences, and
so transferred 1t under the provisions of the
above-named law.
Mrs. Sloan, few months after the death of
Mrs Pendergest, in Liberty township, Trumbull
county, became his housekeeper, and, as she
alleges, under the arrangement that he was to
marry her in due time, and that she was to re-
ceive 1925 week if he should marry her, and
II he did not, such q sum as should be deemed
fair compensation for services. She kept house
for him some fifteen months, and received her
$1'25 compensation and no more, and Pender-
gest refused to perform his agreement to marry,
but got relative of his into the house, and
after while sold his farm-sO he swears-to
widow he never saw, on promises to pay $12, 500
in United States bonds This payment was

is that the old man, in a marvellously
short time after the sale, married the widow pur-

and remained there until after the suit was COM
menced when he came back to the old farm.
Mrs Sloan commenced her. suit against him,
then nonresident, by attaching this farm so
sold, as Pendergest says, to the widow, as really

Sketch of the Declaration of Principles.
SYRACUSE, Sept. 22.-The indications, as tele-
gTaphed last night, are unchanged this morning.
1t seems to be understood that Mr.. Tilden and
Tammany are no longer together, and the pro-
liability is that the rural vote will be cast for
Tilden as chairman OF the State Committee for
the ensuing year. The following is more COM
plete summary of the platform than that sent
last night
The resolutions will reaffirm the platforms OF
past years, demand the restoration of State Gov
ernments, general amnesty, reduction of the
standing army, the abolition of the Freedmen's
Bureau, and the subordination of the military to
the civil power. Upon the question of finance
they win take ground for equal taxation of the
Federal securities and the payment of the ma
tional debt according to contract, and for the
restoration of a sound constitutional currency.
They will arraign the administration of Grant
as false to its pledges and promises of peace,
and as lowering the tone of our nationality upon
foreign questions. They will oppose the regis
tratiOn and excise laws, and will speak in~terms
of the highest eulogy of Governor Hoffman's
administration.
