The YELvERToN CASE IN NEW AS
PEcT.-The Irish Major Yelverton who be-
came so notorious and disgusting few years
ago by repudiating bis first wife, Theresa
Longworth, and marrying another, has had
the misfortune to become an Irish Lord, pos
sessessing a large Irish estate. Why it is a
misfortune to him is that it brings his reject
ed wife into new claim upon him and his
property. The Irish courts, it will be remem-
bered, sustained the first marriage, while
he secured a verdict against it in those
Of England. But his new. estates being in
Ireland, where the original marriage is valid,
he is the unfortunate victim of the Irish law
that the wives of Irish lords are entitled to
"jointure" or an absolute allowance out of the
husbands estates. So that the rascal comes
into his new title and his new property with
deal anew and more fairly with the victim of
his first love. She is the woman who has
been travelling in this country for some time.
and itrying to support herself by lecturing.
and who, quite recently, nearly lost her life
in wintry storm while making a solitary
journey out of the Yosemite valley. The
new estates of her husband carry the title of
Lord Avonmore, and we notice that Mrs.
Yelverton adopts at once, her share of the
new name, and is disporting herself in Cali
fornia as Lady Avonmore. She is hardly
woman to suit fastidious taste, apparently !;
but the cruel treatment she has received from
her husband has won for her the sympathy
OF the would, and every honest-hearted man
and woman will rejoice now that she has got
him at disadvantage, and that he mast deal
with her in the courts that have been dis
posed fromthe first to do her justice.-Spring-
field Republican.

AN AWFUL BOILER EXPLOSION In
Terre Haute, Ind, on the 23d uIt., the steam
boiler of the Telegraph Mills exploded, injur-
ing the building to the estimated amount of
5000. David Denny was standing immedi-
ately in front of the furnace, and his body
shot directly up, higher than the tall smoke
stack, coming down shapeless, broken mass
OF flesh. His body was horribly mutllated,
and buried in the debris. OF cpIrse he was
dead when he reached the earth. Mr.. Denny
was about sixty years of age.
Standing beside Mr.. Denny, warming at
the furnace, was his grand son, lad of four
teen years, named Lyons. When taken from
the ruins his body was so horribly mutilated
that nothing could be done but alleviate his
intense pain until death should put an end to
his suffering. He waa taken home and died
in few hours.
The engineer, colored man named Trilus
Cothran, is severely injured about the head
and limbs.
The boiler, which is a very large one, about
twenty-five feet long, was raised from its bed,
ana now lies east Of the building in direct
line with its former setting, but the west end
is turned 10 east. Three sections of the boil
er plate were blown Off and fell through the
roof of the main building. A large piece of
the furnace breeching was blown across the
street and fell at the door of dwelling house.
The doors and windows of an adjoining
house were broken in by flying brick and
pieces OF timber, as were also the windows of
several houses near the mill.

Ayers Cherry PectoraL
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and COnsurorfior

oA0 NouSuIuptlOus
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, has anything won widely and so deeply
upon the confidence of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series ofyears, and among most Of the races Of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estima-
ton, as it has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to cure the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms of disease and to young children it
at the same time the most etectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dan.
gerous affections of the throat and lungs AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs. all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured,
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth
ing else could reach them, under the CheTTy PEG
tor0t they subside and disappear.
Singers and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease Is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course.
For Whooping Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome.
NO family should be without the Cherry Pecto.
rat ON hand to protect them, in case of attack,
from the above complaints. Its timely use often

-Gravelotte, recent visitor says, is a
scene of indescribable desolation. The
heights occupied by the French are still strewn
with accoutrements and clothes; the fields are
deeply rutted with the wheels of artillery, and
dotted all over with little mounds where the
dead are buried, and the whole is perfect
quasmire of mud. One had only to see the
ground from which the Germans drove the
French to understand that troops which
could not hold such aposition conld never cut

A DUTCHMAN WHO DOESN'T UNDER
STAND THE INSURANCE BUSINESS. The
Pittsburg (Pa.,) Leader tells good story of
one Schmidt, Dutchman in that city, who
took the precaution to insure the life of his
wife for $4,000, and his stable for 5000, believ-
ing the former might die and the latter be
burnt, and he could not get along without some
compensation for the loss. Both policies had
been taken from the same agent. In few
mnnths aftAr tina -stahlA- had -hAan- insured it
was destroyed by fire. Schmidt quietly noti-
lied the agent, and limited TO him that he
should expect the money at the earliest posi-
BILE moment. The agent at once sent car
penter to ascertain the cost of erecting new
stable of the same dimensions, having ascer-
tained that the property was insured for
more than it was worth. The builder report
ed that he could replace the stable with new
material for $500, but unfortunately there
was an ordinance preventing the erection of
frame buildings-the old stable having been
of wood. He was asked to estimate the cost
Of brick stable, and reported the amount at
$75O. The agent then notified Schmidt that
he would build him new brick stable in
place of the old frame one; but Schmidt be-
came indignant al the proposition, saying: 81
do not understand dis insurance business. I
pay you for 5000, anil when my shtable burn
down you make me new one. not want a
new stable-I want $780,"
The agent reasoned with Schmidt. but all
to no purpose.
When the stable was nearly finished
Schmidt went to consult lawyer, thinking
that he still could get the amount of the poll
cy, besides having the new stable. The law
yer, however, informed him that the company
had right to make good the loss by building
new stable, and expressed surprise at the
idea of bringing suit against them.
"But," said Schmidt, 81 insure for nine hun
dred dollars, and dis feller put up dem stable
for seven hundred and fifty; I do not under
stand dis insurance business"
Finding that he could not compel the pay
ment by law, he became disguised with the
insurance business altogether. Calling upon
the agent, Schmidt said:
"Mr. Agent, 1 want you to stop dem insur-
ance on mine frou. do not pay more mon
ish that way; don't understand dis insur-
ance business"
Agent (surprised) d)-"why, Mr.. Schmidt, you
are doing very fooling thing. You have
paid considerable on this policy already; and
if your wife should die you will get five thou
sand dollars"
"Yaw, dat ish what you tell me now," said
Schmidt. "Ven 1 pays you on my shtable,you
say get nine hundred dollars if it burn down.
So it was burn, and you not give me my mon
ish. You say, 'Oh, dat was an old frame
shtable-ish not word anydings! make you
brick shatble;' and you no pay me nine
hundred dollar. Ven my frow die, den you
say to me: oh, she was an old Dutch woman;
she not word anydings; get you new Eng

The FRANCo-PRUssIAN WAR. Justin
MCCARTHY, the eminent essayist and author,
iectured in New York, Tuesday evening, ON
the franco-Prussian war, in the course of
which, after paying tribute to the pluck and
patriotism of the present Republican leaders
in France, he said:
No doubt we should all be glad if Germapv
would now sheathe the sword, but this Is NOT
mere trial Of strength; it is an effort on
her part to put down, ono for all, French ag-
gressions, and there is no reason why Ger
many should place any more trust In the
French Republic than in the French Empire.
The great dream and passion of France is to
extend her boundary to the Rhine. Some Of
the truest Republicans have gone for that as
well as the very worst of Imperialists. If
France say to Germany" I'VE have dethroned
your enemy" Germany answers, "Did you
dethrone Napoleon because he made war on
Germany, or because he failed to make war
on Germany~ Had Napoleon succeeded in
realizing the plan of his campaign, he would
have come back to France the idol Of the
French nation. We can hardly blame Ger

Col. Richard j. Hinton's report on the rela-
