ELoPEMENT IN HIGH LIFE.-The
English and Irish papers of recent date
contain the following account of an e.
lopement of an Irish marquis with the
wife of g Government official in high
life:
A most extraordinary piece Of scan
dial in'high life has just come to light,
namely, the elopement of the wife of
Captain Vivian with the Marquis of
Waterford. The gallant Captain is a
lord of the Treasury and member of
parliament for Truro. For some time
past the lady's name has been men
toned in connection with her partner
of her fight, and her disappearance
was not wholly unexpected.
She left home on Monday morning,
alleging that she intended to proceed
TO Brigton to see her mother, and
would return the same evening. AS,
however, she failed to make her appear
ance, CAPTAIN Vivian proceeded to the
Victoria Station, and there ascertained
SA4SAt -aGAAti VI " aAEIIOEd anu AAIISs
Vivian had, the previous morning, ta-
ken tickets for Paris by way of Dover
accompanied by a friend. He followed
them to the French Capital, and soon
found the object of his search at a well
known hotel. Mrs. Vivian heard of
her husbands arrival, and locked he1-
self up in an inner chamber.
Captain Vivian, however, succeeded
in obtaining assistance and burst open
the doors. He then ascertained that
Mrs. Vivian had attempted to COM
nit suicide by swallowing chIoro-
form. The quantity taken was not
however, sufficient to cause more than
partial insensibility. Captain Vivian
is understood to have iinplored his
wife to return TOR the sake of her chill
dren, Of whom there are four, but she
ptorilIy refused, although her
husband assured her that her escapade
should be kept profound secret.
The lady, however remained firm in
her determination not to return to the
shelter Of her home, but pleaded that
she might be allowed to retain her
youngest child. This request Captain
Vivian declined TO comply with, and
returned to London without having en-
countered the Marquis of Waterford
The latter has, it is believed, caused a
a communication to be made 20 Capt.
Vivian. that when the Judge Ordinary
of the Divonrce Court shall have dis
solved the legal ties which now pr :
vent his marrying Mrs. Vivian, he will,
as a man of honor, make her the only
compensation in his power. Mean
while, Captain Vivian has left town,
and will not return to his place in the
House of Commons until his presence
is required for the division on the see
ond reading of the bill for the abolition
of the Irish Church.

SELAH.-The translators of the Bible
have left the Selah, which occurs so
often in the Psalms, as they found it,
and ofcourse the English reader often
asked his minister or some learned
friend what it means. And the minis
ter or learned friend has most often
been obliged to confess ignorance, be-
cause it Is matter in regard to what
the most learned have by no means
been of one mind. The Tagrums and
most of the Jewish commentators give
to the word the meaning oS !eteJndlty,
f0reuer. Kimchi regards it as a sign
to elevate the voice. The authors Of
the Septuagent translation appear TO
have regarded it as musical or rhyth-
mical note. Herder regards it as ind
eating change of tone Marheson, as
a musical tone, equivalent perhaps to
the word repeat.
According to Luther and others 1t
means silence. Gesenius explains it
to mean ''let the instrument play aud
the singers stop" Wocher regards it
as equivalent to soriuBa eorda-up my
soul! Sornmer, after examining all
the seventy-four passages in which the
word occurs, recognizes in every ca g
|. IAN actualappeal orsummons toJehova.'
They are calls for aid and prayers to be
heard, expressed either with entire dis
tinctness, or if not in the imperative.
ssHear, Jehova ~ or awake JEHOVAH"
and the like, still earnest addresses to
God that lie would remember and hear,

You will bear in mind that these remedies are en-

cure Of the diseases named, these being scientific
preparations of medicinal extracts while the 9TH

It's life-giving. eKhilarating, and medicinal quail
