4 Marriage or a Funeral.

a miss who had been a few weeks
in the family of Gov. Randolph, at
| MOrTistown, \. J., was attacked by q
young man from BroOklin, who made
a desperate attempt to kill her. A few
months ago the girl, whose name is
withheld, was engaged to be married
to the would be murderer, and receiv-
ed his visits at her fathers house in
Brooklin. the father of the girl is
wealthy, and was General in the
Union army during the war. Apart
mems were flied up under the pater-
nal roof, at cost of $4,000, for the
young couple, whose monOgrams
marked every piece of the rich furni-
ture. Elaborate preparations were
made fer the wedding, invitations
were sent out, and no one for mo-
ment entertained a doubt of a mar
Tiage. Two days before the eventfuI
day, the bride that was to be learned
that her promised husband was a per-
son with whom she could not consent
to trust her happiness. She immedi-
ately broke the engagement, and or
dered her snitor never to appear be-
fore her again, when he attempted to
stab her in her fathers house. She
escaped, and being agained threatened
she left the city secretly. telling only
her parents of her destination. She
went TO MOrristown to visit the fam
lily of Gov. Randolph. Her suitor
presented himself at the door of the
Governors mansion a day or two
afteTward, demanding admission.
Having seen him approaching the
girl gave orders to bar the door. Then
he attempted to smash the doors, and
finally, it is said, fired upon his affian-
ced through the window He is said
to have been seen since lying in wait
for her near the house, and a guard
has been stationed in the grounds.

From the Christian Union.l
Spring SpiritualiZed.

a new look is dawning on the face
of Mother Earth. She seemsin these
spring days to be listeningtO to the birds
and, through the seer brown vail from
which the snow has melted, to be
breaking into a smile of Joy for heI
own returning life, and of welcome to
them. And there are other sounds
that she hears as her face grows bright
er. The swollen bnJOks are rejoicing
on their way, and growing clearer as
they run to their own sweet music
The south winds, which remind us OF
all the bygone summers, the scenes,
the friends, and the very thoughts
that they enshrine. are touching the
trees above, while the sap begins to
stir them from below, ana the buds
are cropping for sunshine. The vO'ce
OfGOd is in the garden as truly as of
old. But now we should not run from
Him, but to Him. Why should We
fear like Adam when Christ has
taught us to say "Our Father ?'' Has
our religion had its winter? Have we
grown formal, sapless, cold and dead?
Do we lack in sympathy, patience,
hope, faith and charity? Have We
the name without the thing, the form
without the substance, the dead pro-
fessiOn without the living Christ p
Let Natures revival make us long to
have our souls revived with a new
budding and blOssoming of all the
Christian graces. May we have spring
in our homes. May God see us yearn-
ing and growing upward; and may
the smallest flowers and blades of do
mestic virtue and affection-cOvered
although they have heen with the dust
and the frost OF selfishness and indif-
ference-make the household fragrant
and beauteous under the smiling of
God!

The largest farm in England con =
sists of 5000 acres, and belongs 10
a man with the Yankee name of Sam
uel Jones. In its cultivation he fol-
lows the "fOur course" system, the
whole extent of the farm being divid-
ed into four great crOps-750 acres of
wheat, $50 to barley and oats, $50 to
seeds, beans, peas, ETC., and $50 to
roots. His live stock is valued as fol-
lows: Sheep, S35, 600, horses S15, 900,
bullOcks S12, 900, pigs $500. The OIL
cake and corn purchased annually
amounts to so, 900, and artificial fer
tilizers about 5000. The entire cost
of manure, in various forms used, an
nually costs about SIS, 900. Sheep are
as the most profitable stock
he keeps, from which are realized
about $4,000 a year. His income
from the whole farm, though not sta
ted, can be little less than SO, 600 per
annum.

wer to the inquiry "WhO is my neigh
bOr?" The ordinary sense in which
they understood the term neighbOr
was when they spoke of a person liv-
/ ing hear them; but there was another
and deeper meaning, and the parable
had reference to them as spiritual be-
/ ings. The poor Samaritan was Jour
| neying from Jerusalem to Jericho, and
/ fell among thieves, and a Levite and
priest passed by without rendering the
man any assistance.
THE PARABLE HAD SPIRITUAL
SENSE.
I 1t was intended to typify their spir-
| itual life on earth. They all Journey
/ ed from Jerusalem to Jericho to reach
the country that was always in their
/ thoughts, and the dangers of the road
| thus typitied and the acts of the Levite
/ and priest are just what take place in
the history of almost all of them
Z Their Jerusalem was their spiritual
I abode; its streets are those thoughts
of God and love through which we
pass, and its houses were the houses
of their various affections. But there
was some difficulty in building this
/ jerusalem; there was a lot of rubbish
to clear away; men would cling to
their old doctrines. The doctrine
might be clear i'm their own minds,
but it was difficult to take them and
impress them upon Others. When a
Christian set out on his heavenly
journey he travels in a spiritual sense
from Jerusalem to Jericho. In that
way he would be beset by many new
doctrines and dOgmas, which would
worry and harass him and finally
wound him. Many priests and Levites
went by them just as they did in the
parable, and rendered them no assist
ance because they did not belong to
their faction, and were
OUTSIDE THE WALLS
of their sect. Many persons impress
ed with new truths repaired to their
Levites and priests for comfort in
time of spiritual distress, but received
no aid, and they were left half dead.
This is more so in the Catholic Church
because the priest would tell them If
they accepted new doctrines they
would be damned, and they certainly
would be if the priest had the power.
When persons painted for more light
and craved for more truths and left
the peeuliarsect to which they former
ly belonged they were looked upon
with scorn, and their fellow travellers
and Levites passed by on the other
side and rendered them no aid. This
parable taught them that they must be
kind, gentle and patient in all their
acts of life. When they discovered
their spiritual nakedness they should
endeavor to elothe them and take care
of them and see them again on their
journey from Jerusalem to Jericho
on the path to heavenly happiness and
bliss.

Fighting the Regal Tiger.

Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh,
is enjoying himself greatly in India.
In February he was magnificentIy en-
tertained near the boundaries of Nep-
aul, by Sir Jung BahadOOr, a native
prince of immense wealth.
The Duke reached his camp on the
banks ofthe Mohan river, which sepa
rates Dude from Napaul, at $50 on
the morning of the 23d of February.
Soon afterward Sir Jung Bahadoor,
who was encamped on the opposite
bank, came across to meet and con-
gratulate his royal guest. He was in
full state costume, and wore a splen-
did head-dress, valued at thirty-five
thousand dDllars in gold. After a
pleasant interview, Sir jung Bahia
door having laid aside his elegant at
tire and replaced it by hunting cos
tune, the two Princes set out for the
great tiger hunt which the Indian
host had planned for the entertain
ment of the Royal English sports
man. The battle which followed is
described as absolutely unique. There
were upward of $50 hunting elephants
i'm the field; tiger was soon started
out of the jungle, and by mastery
management was so hemmed in by
elephants that at last these formed q
complete circle of not more than six
ty yards diameter, with only the
Prince, Sir Jung Bahadoor, and the
tiger i'm the central space.
When the latter realized his situa-
ton, he ran roaring round the circle
trying to find an exit, and at last made
a rush at what seemed probably the
weakest point in the circle. This,
however, was just in front of the
Dukes elephant, and a well-directed
shot from his Royal Highness rolled
him over, though il took two or three
more balls to finish him. 1t was an
understood thing that no one but the
Duke was to fire, and to give an idea
of Sir Jung's cOnsumnate courtesy, it
may be noticed that he had dismount-
ed from his own elephantand climbed
into the state howdah, which by his
orders had been prepared for the Duke,
where he sat behind his royal visitor,
not firing himself, but handing gun
after gun to the Duke as he required
them.
The dinner that night i'm camp is
said TO have been, considering where
it was, a sight of itself worth a jour
ney. About 8 p. m. the tent door
opened. and i'm long defile entered a
string of GOOrkhas, bringing trays of
preSents-beautiful knives, elephants
teeth, tiger skins, China silks, musk
pods, the current cOinsOf Napaul, and
a small elephant (whO objected very
much to the festivities), and last
not least interestingl a baby
tiger, only ten days or fortnight old,
which made itself quite at home on
the table with the dessert, and allow
ed itself to be caressed and made a pet
Of at once.

To ReIuvenate Old Grape Vines.

The editor of the Practical Farmer
says: " Having on our premises,
planted by former owners, probably
twenty years ago, half a dozen old
grape vines; with large weather beat
en- trunks or stems, which made an
nually but little wood and yielded but
very few poor grapes; two years ago
we cut OFF the branches, covering
them with about a foot of earth. Wig
Orous and healthy shoots sprung up in
great abundance-the weak ones
which were broken off, and leading
ones at proper distances trained to
the arbOr. The new growths are very
clean healthy and sirong-sufficien
entirely to cover the large arbor the
present season we look for bushels
of fruit from the new bearing wood.
We see old grape vines everywhere
doing no good, and which could
be made young and thrifty by this
process.

necessary teams to transport the sup
plies of the volunteers. But ut that
time the Sioux were on the war
path in full force, and it was ut
terly impossible to make up compa-
ny strong enough to insure its safety.
So nothing was done last year save
the futile attempt of party Of hurdy-
gurdy proprietOrs in Helena, Monta-
ma. That party got no nearer the
Big Horn Mountains than the upper
crossing OF the Yellow Stone, on the
old Southern trail.
ENCOURAGEMENT.
With the appointment Of General
Campbell to the GovernOrship of Wyo.
ming came feeling Of security to the
miners Of Sveetwater, which they
never before felt. Immediately on
taking the oath Of Of1ce, Governor
Campbell visited Sweetwster, and In
his interviews with the miners he as
sured them that all the force Of the
Territorial Government should be
used TO prevent Indian depredations,
and that all of the vast auriferOus re-
gion of Wyoming should be thorough
~ prOspected during the coming year
Having confidence in his promises,
numbers of hardy mountafneers, as
early as last December, commenced
inaugurating movements looking to q
thorough exploration of the Big Horn
range By general consent, Colonel
Luke Murrin, of Cheyenne. was as
signed to the leadership. Every ar
rangement was perfected as long ago
as the lst of March, and the prospect
ors only awaited the opening of mild
weather to start.
A SERIOUS OBSTACLE.
Just then appeared a notice from
the military officers commanding the
Department of Wyoming that the
object Of the expedition was to invade
an Indian reservation. allotted TO
tribes with which the Government
was at peace. Messengers were dis
patched to Washington to explain to
to the War Department that the
band Of Sioux who inhabited the
Big Horn region were, always had
been, hostile to the whites, and that
Government was under no moral obli-
CATION to protect the band. But Sec
retary Cox, of the Interior Depart
ment, was firm in his denial Of the
right of the expedition to trench on
the lands of the Big Horn Sioux.
IGNORANCE BROUGHT TO GRIEF.
About three weeks ago Colonel Tay-
lor, editor OF the Omaha Republican,
and one of the Government COmmis-
sioners spI ointed to aid General Sher-
man in making treaty with all the
hostile tribes, visited Washington,
and in company with Representative
Fafe, of Nebraska, had an interview
with Secretary Cox. 1t only took
them q short time to convince Seere-
tary Cox that the treaty which he had
on file, and which gave the Northern
Sioux a reservation of the Big Horn
region, was no treaty at all; for it ex-
pressly stipulated that the treaty
should not be binding on the Govern
ment until formally ratified by the
Congress of the United States. That
ratification never was had, and so the
Big Horn region is no reservation.
In conclusion, the expedition will
start from Cheyenne about the 10th Of
May. 1t will be one of the events OF
the age, and your correspondent will
accompany it in the capacity of his
Photographer. PHOCIOE.
