From the Milwaukee Wisconsin, March 2j.
young LAZY named Rose Cofmeyer,
who for some time past has been an EN-
ploye in the tram disp,tc!.er's office of
the Milwaukee and ST. Paul road, has
recently fallen heir to a comfortable
little fortune, and under circumstances
which render the incident of more than
ordinary interest.
1t seems that Miss Rose, through
some friends, had become acquainted
with well-to-do young farmer, resid-
ing at Merton, Waukesha county, Monte
Won Driscoll 10y name, who possessed, in
addition to his landed property, quite a
little iol tune outside Monte i'll his
visits to the city saw more or less OF
Miss Cofmeyer, who being an amlable
young lady in disposition and prepos-
sessing i'll appearance, won the admlra-
ton and love of Driscoll. The alice
ton Of the young man for Ro-e was re-
ciprocated, and after making an avowal
OF bis love he was duly accepted, and
the two young people were as happy
and contented as possible.
But happiness TOO swiftly flies The
preliminaries having been arran ged,
Monte returned to his farm and Rose
TO her employment, each impatient for
the wishea for day to arrive, but like
sensible people both determined to ap-
ply themselves with renewed vigor to
the temperatures of this world until
the time did come, but hardly had they
become separated when Dri.coll was
taken sick and suddenly died, before
his future bride could be summoned.
Upon opening his will it was found that
he had not been unmindful OF her, even
IN his dying hour, but had left his en-
tire property to her, cons listing OF his
farm near Merton, and the lest of his
estate, forming a comfortable little for
tune, amounting in all to about twenty
a. Il

Queer Freak of a Bird.

The Louisville Journal says:
On the farm of Mr.. William Cotton,
nine miles from the city, near the Bards-
town pike, is a bird which is very re
markable, not in its appearance, but in
its actions. 1T is a male red-blrd, COM
mon to our forests and thickets. Early
every morning it perches itself on the
limb of Il peach tree, near u cottage,
which stands few yards fl ON the family
residence, and every few moments
throughout the entire day it flies against
the cottage window and back again to
lis perch. Apparently the bird does
not desist from his daily toll long enough
to gain sufficient food TO sustain life, and
where it feeds no one knows. 1t has
kept up this singular conduct for about
three years, summer and winter, re-
naming constant to its strange task
through heat and cold, rain and shine.
Mr.. Cotton, supposing that it desired
to enter the cottage, removed the sash
Fl ON the window, when the bird flew
into the room, but Immediately flew
back to its perch, and seemed much
annoyed by the change. After trying
the experiment several times, it flew
away, but as soon as the sash was re-
stored to its place, it returned, and COM
menced its strange proceeding.
There is only one thing that has sui
fcient influence over the bird to stop its
flight to and fro between its perch and
the window, except violence, and that
is music. Whenever it hears the sound
of a piano in the cottage, it will perch
itself on bush near the parlor window,
and apparently listens with the pro-
foundest attention. The moment, how
ever, that the music ceases, it will return
to its perch, and begin again its flights.

AN ACT OF misunderstanding Castle
was sad stumbling block in the path
of Bunyan's Christian, though it
couldn't bar his way to Truth. We can
sympathize with the Pilgrim, for Doubt
always besets us when we are asked to
to believe anything particularly extra
ordinary. Consequently, when we
heard, some eighteen months ago, that
a physician in California had com
pounded, from the juices and extracts
of certain herbs found there, med
icine that cured almost every variety OF
blood disease, we were lncreduous.
Since then we have had opportunities
of testing the accuracy of the report,
and are free to admit that our doubts
have vanished. Seeing what We have
seen, knowing what we know, it is i'm
possible for us to question the remedial
properties of DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR
BIrTERs. That this famous vegetable
Tonic, Alternative, and Antiseptic is
specific for Dyspepsia, Liver Complaint,
Chronic Constipation, Fever and Ague,
Bilious InteImittents, Scrotulous Iaint
in the Blood, Incipient Consumption,
Local and General Debility, Rheuma-
tism, Sick Headache, and Diseases OF
the Kidneys, seems to be a matter be-
yond the pale of controversy-a feed
fact in medical history. The statements
of friends, in whose varacity and intel
ligence we have full confidence, corrob-
Grated by our own personal observation,
compel us to admit the surprising mer-
its of the preparation.- Com.

ture Leavenworth will produce a violin

The Great American Desert.

on the plains as soon rs the railroad
kings have need of them: the very
desert becomes fruitful, and at Hum
boldt Wells, on the Central Pacific rail
road, in the midst of the slge-brush and
alkali country, you will see corn, wheat,
potatoes, and fruits of different kinds
growing luxuriantly, with the help Of
culture and irrigation proving that
this vast tract, long supposed to be
worthless, needs only sk.l.iul treatment
to become valuable.
One can not help but speculate upon
what kind OF men we Americans shall
be when all these now dcsoiate plains
are flied, when cities shall be found
where now only the lonely depot or the
intrequent cabin stands; when the non
and coal of these regions shall have be
come the foundation Of great manuiac
turing populations and when, perhaps,
! the whole continent will be covered by
the Stars and Stripes. No other nation
has ever spread over so large territory
or SO diversified a surface as ours. From

Again, in Maine half the farmers year

The Norwich Advcrfissr tells the fol-

made the acquaintance about twenty
years ago of young man living in a
neighboring tom. Fifteen years since
he went to the Sandwich Islands in
search of fortune, and during these
years correspondence has, with single
exception, been kept up between them

stronger tie. and eliminated in an en-

How Oregon Girls Seize an Opportunity.

A fellow in Oregon thought he would
be smart, and just have little fun with
a young lady on whom he had waited
two or three times. He asked her what
she would do if nice-looking young
fellow asked her to marry him. She
smiled, oh, so gushingly, and looked
good enough to eat, but said nothing.
Then he asked her what she would say
if he asked her to marry him. She
threw her arms around him, and rushed
out of the room for her hat and shawl.
The poor fellow says he was never mar
red so sudden in his life. Probably that
was the nearest she ever came to being
asked, and she thought fooling around
with sentiment would be dangerous.

Terrible Scene at an Execution.

There was fearful scene at an exc
cution in Feut,ess county, Tenn, on the
5th inst. The weight of the doomed
man snapped the rope, and he fell to
the ground. The Sheriff and his guard
seized him, put a rope around his neck,
threw it over the gallows, and drew him
up. He hung thus couple of minutes,
when, attempting to draw him higher,
the rope again broke. Once more he
was seized and hoisted, the blood run
ming from his mouth and nose, and his
shroud nearly torn oft. This time the
rope proved sufficient, and Il e man
was strangled to death.
