SYNOPSIS FOR The PAST TWENTY -FOUR HouRs.-
The area of the high barometer which was on Mon
day moving in kastern Virginia, has NOV ed TO the
east beyond our stations: the pressure has fallen
very generally ON the Atlantic coast, and Is now
highest in New jersey. The low barometer which
was probably centred in Nebraska Monday morning
gas apparently moved east into Northern Illinois,
apd northeastward toward Lake Huron. No re.
ports have been received north and west Of Michi-
gan, but it Is presumed that severe wind storm is
now passing over Southern Michigan. Light rains
have been reported from Southern Indiana and Ili-
nois; heavier rain in Northern Missouri, followed
this morning by cold northwest winds, which have
also probably reached Chicago. Cloudiness with
occasional rain has continued the Gulf gnd South
ern States. Temperature has risen along the entire
coast. The bsrometer IL rising in Missouri and
Arkansas.
PRoBABiLITrEs...The barometer will probably con-
tinue TO fali on the Atlantic coast, and especially
from Virginia 70 New York, with cloudy weather
followed possibly by rain tonight or Wednesday
nornins. No msterial change e indicated for the
southern and Gull coasts. Clearing and cold
brisk routhwest winds will probably extend over
on Lake Huron.

Canadian, has been arrested at Bayonne, New
Jersey, on charge of bigamy. He has kept a
saloon in Bayonne since 1866 coming there from
New York State and bringing with him a wife.
Some time ago his first wife, whom he married
in 1882, and who Is now nearly eighty years old
came to New Jersey hoptag to make him recog-
niZe her, and, failing in this, she has had him
arrested. He deserted her i'm 1S48, twenty three
wears ago, and went to Nova Scotia where he
married another woman by whom he had two
children. She, however, died in 1854, when he
married his third wife, with whom he has since
lived and had four children. BY his lawful wife
he had three children, making sixteen in all.
Most Of them are, Of course, grown up, and tive
or three OF his first wifes children have visited
him for the purpose of persuading him to return
to her. but without effect. Cha6bers does not
deny the crime, and seems Indifferent to the re-
suit. lfr $50

"rLL TAKE WHAT FATHER TAKES
''What will you take to drink" asked a
waiter of young lad, who, for the first time
accompanied his father to n public dinner.
Uncertqin what to say, and feeling sure
that he could not be wrong if he followed
his fathers example, he replied, "Ill take
what father takes
The answer reached the fathers ear, and
instantly the full responsibility of his po-
sition flashed upon him. And the father
shuddered as the history Of several young
men, once as promising as his own bright
lad, and ruined by drink, started up in
solemn warning before him. Should his
hopes be blasted, and' that open-fac
lad become burden? But for strong
drink they would have been active, earnest,
prosperous men; and if it could work such
ruin upon them, was his own safe? Quick
err than lightning these thoughts passed
through his mind, and in moment the
decision was made. "If the boy falls he
will not have me to blame;' and then in
tones tremulous with emotion, and to the
astonishment of those who knew him, he
said Waiter, I'll take water;'' and from
that day to this, strong drink has been
banished from that mans house.

a HELPMEET.-In the life Of Sir William
Napier, (author of the "Peninsular War;
we find the following interesting account
of his wife's admirable zeal and ability =
"When the immense mass Of King Jo-
seph's correspondence taken Mt Nittoria
was placed in my hands, was dismayed
at finding it to be huge collection of let
ters, without order and in three languages,
one of which did not understand. Many,
also, were in very grabbed and illegible
characters, especially those of Joseph's own
writing, which is nearly as difficult to read
as Napoleon's. The most important docu-
ments were in cipher, and there was no
key. Despairing of any profitable exami-
nation of these valuable materials, the
thought crossed me Of giving up the work,
when my wife undertook, first to arrange
the letters by dates and subjects, next to
make a table of reference, translating ana
epitomizing the contents Of each ; and this,
without neglecting for an instant the care
and education of a very large family, she
effected in such a simple and comprehen-
sive manner that it was easy to ascertain
the contents of any letter, and lay hands on
the original document in few moments.
She also undertook to decipber the secret
correspondence, and not only succeeded,
but formed q key to the whole, detecting
even the nulls and stops, and so accurately
that when, in course of time, the original
key was placed in my hands, there was
nothing to learn. Having mentioned this
to the Duke of Wellington, he seemed at
first incredulous, observing must mean
tn At she made out the contents of some let
tiers. Several persons had done this Tor
him, he said, but none had ever made out
the nuls or formed a key, adding, i would
have given f2O, 900 to any person who would
have done that for me in the Peninsula

stage. In 1860 she became attached 10 the
opera at Lisbon, and there formed the a.
auaintance of the widowed king consort.
Previous to her marriage she had been Gre
ated Countess d Edia. Although the Court
and society of Lisbon were at first inclined
to rebel against this mesalliance, they soon
became reconciled, and the countess to-day

to this marriage, Dom Fernando had re-
ceived overtures from Prim and his col
leagues looking to the Dom's acceptance of
the Spanish throne, being seconded therein
by the British and French governments.
lie peremptorily refused, his decision be-
ing, IL was well understood, the result Of
the counsel of the present countess. After
the marriage, overtures were renewed, and
offers of high social position made TO Dom
Fernandos wife If in return he would ac-
ccpt the vacant throne. Negotiations were
opened, and were progressing iavorably,
when the countess learning that while she
might occupy the first position at the Court
of Madrid, as duchess or grandee, yet the
title of queen of Spain could not be given
her under any circumstances, persuaded
Dom Fernando to break off the negotiations
altogether. This took place on the 18Th Of
July, 1870. and whtn the conferences we're
going on tl,sre was u perfect understanding
that the refusal of Dom Fernando to take
the throne would involve the most grave
complications, and probably the war which
is still raging, for it was then known that
the Spanish government intended to turn
to his majesty's son-in-law, the Prince Of
Hohenzolern, if the negotiations complete
ly failed. So it may be said that great
European war, with all its vast consequent
ces, is to be attributed to the unsatisfied
ambition of "a Boston girl.

second Kane and Lucy, to all appearance
were fast asleep. And from that time till
morning, not a sound broke the stiffness of
the tent.
Brother Parker was perplexed next day
at the frame of mind in which he found
his young disciple. She was very sweet
and gentle; bore his questionings patient
ly. And when he asked, "Did she feel as
if she loved Cod" she said, "Yes, and she
hoped always TO love Him now, for lie had
made her very happy. But when the fur
ther inquiry was propounded, was this feel
ing so strong that she felt justified in be-
coming the wife of minister of the Cos

She had promised Elkanah Robbins to

But when had this promise been made
Long and sorely did Brother Parker puzzle
over the matter and so did Mrs. Wilder,
who in the heat of her astonishment at
"that child's thinking of husband" was
heard to say, that for her part she couldn't
think how they got at each other! Lucy
and Kane kept their own counsel, and the
affair in time got to be spoken of as chap
penin' at camp;'' which fact made it more
than usually interesting to the neigh
bors. Small and transient opposition had
our young couple to contend with. They
were married the next year. Both are
members of the church now, and Kane was
on the conference committee for the last
camp-meeting When people ask if he got
religion at Cadiz, he is wont to answer that
chats matter between linn and the
Lord; but if not, he got something most
as good"-his eloquent glance finishing the
sentence. Elder Robbins will be an indul-
gent friend to the next generation in Am

tabled state, and hear little silvery con-
fabulation break in upon the silence OF the
"guarded tent" we may be pretty sure
that he will be conveniently blind and deaf

sweetly once his Lucy's voice broke the
stiffness with, "Yes, Kane"
