A FIGHTING WIFE AND A JEALOUS RIVAL
On Monday night, about 12 O'Clock, o colored w0f
man named Jane Smith, suffering all the tor
ments of jealousy and the fires Of an unrequtted
love, entered the premises Of her successful rival
on Calhoun street, who had lately been married
to the object OF both their affections. Ascending
along and narrow flight of stairs, she entered
the apartment Of the sleeping couple, and Selling
the Inconstant object Of her love by the collar,
attempted to drag him out Of his bed. His better
half was on the alert In a moment, and recogniz-
ing her old rival, jumped out of bed and pitched
into the INTRUDER. An active engagement now
ensueJ, watched with much complacency BY the
cause OF the quarrel. Tile right this time won
the night and the Intruder having been borne
back to the door, wa; sent by sudden shove
dying down the long stairway. She picked her
selruD aud went her way, but this did not satisfy
the aroused wife. Early yesterday she came be-
fore ore OF our trial justices, and making an aff-
davlt otthe above facts, took out warrant for
the arrest of her repu'sed rival. The latter was
duly arrested, and the hearing OF tile case comes
or Today.

OH. THAT SASH

" In these days of uncongenlal unions
times when apparently there is no
confidence to be placed in the most
honored and respected of our comrnu-
nity-we may give credence to almost
any report: but we doubt if the fol-
lowing, which was told us last evening
by a reliable party, can be 'odtdone in
the line of matrimonial deception.
1t appears that one of our much re-
spected fashionable ladies fell in love
with an'excee edfhglyi beautiful wrought
sash, and endeavored to persuade the
clerk to sell it to her for five dollars.
He refused, saying that he had denied
it to her husband for that stimAthat
the labor expended and the silk used
in making it, cost ten dollars, and she
could have it for that amount. e The
unsuspecting lady, with true womanly
confidence IN her husband, and with
out doubt that it was intended for
herself, paid the clerk five dollars, and
told him to say to- her husband that
he could have the sash at the, price he
had offered The clerk did as directed
but no sash did the lady receive. Af-
ter waiting patiently for several days,
she sought the clerk fora an explana-
ton. That individual affirmed that
her husband had taken it. The lady
went home, and, keeping the matter
to herself, watched the course of events
and in a few days afterward saw fair
frail one walking the street sporting
the identical SASH. 1t is quite safe to
conclude that peace on earth and good
will to men weren't triumphant in that
house about that time, and that the
lady has lost her love for beautiful
sashes.-Portlaad (1fe.) Regulator

. ...E l.
Crows are in the square St. Jacques
la Boucherie, trying to root up the
corpses which lie thiekly buried there.
There were so many corpses in the
easements OF the Qualifications, there
was DO thought of burying .them.-
Tar and turpentine were poured over
them and fire applied ;after they were
consumed the easemates were walled
up.c Hundreds Iofibodics have been
found in the sewers. and catacombs,
gnawed by rats until all human SEM
blance was lost. They lost their way,
or stuck in the mud or lay down, too
feeble from fatigue and starvation to
go further. The police have been
searching all these places; engineers
pioneering them: laborers with resin
torches lighted the path. The Seine,
too, has been giving mp dead bodies.
Paris has been one great shambles-
human blood has flowed like water.
In one week at least 14.000 men, wo-
men and children were cut down. One
day forty vehicles laden with corpses
wentiby my window. The; vehicles
were omnibuses, in which the corpses
were piled to the roof, their, arms
dangling ont of the windows, furni-
ture vans, wagons of all descriptions.
Within a hundred feet of where / ana
writing a trench was dag someudRys

o'clock, 150 or 200 corpses thrown,--
Fifty feet in front of me / saw be-
tween September and February, 1900

DIR. FRANKLIN used to wish that he
might, after good long nap, live the
last half of his allotted years some
time in the Nineteeth Century. His
equanimity, the greatest with which a
great man was ever endowed, might
be little disturbed if he should wake
up just now in Boston. He left by
will small sum of money, the in
come of which was to be lent to
"young married artificers." This has
been invested and reinvested, until it
now amounts to more than $150,00O,
but no young married artificer has
ever been favored with farthing of
it. 1t is now proposed to lend it in
small sums to persons of moderate
means, to enable them secure neat and
comfortable homes in the vicinity of
the city of Boston,
