A CASE OF RyIyoRsHP An inter
rsting case in regard to suryiyorship has
recently arisen in Connecticut \ man
and his only daughter were drowned at
The same time at East Haven. and the
complex question has to be decided
which Of them died first Ii the man died
first, his property would have passed to
the daughter, and thence to her heir. who
Is her mother, but who has been divorced
from the father II the daughter died
first, then the property goe- to A half SIS
ter Of the father Several other suits have
arisen out Of this accident, which was
caused by the breaking down OF public
rauseway. A similar question of surviv-
or~hip was raised many years ago in the
case Of the drowning OF man and his
wife by the wreck Of a steamer running
10 Charleston The rule appears to be
settled that in these disasters the assump-
ton is that males sarvive the hardships
longer than females, and adults longer
than minors

BY-The Fist W Of a National EeTnedy. - Here is
the history Of the most celebrated tonic Of the age
In nutshell. In ls6l 1t was announced that GER
tain combination Of vegetable Ingredients, with a
pure diiusiye stimulant, was working wonders In
the cure Of chronic dyspepsia, nervo debility, pc
riodlcal feyers, rheumatism and constitutional
weakness. The unpretending name given TO the
soecinc was PLANTATION BnTRRs. The statement
attracted the attention Of invads everywhere. The
new remedy received Q fair trial, and the results
more than confirmed all that had been said in its
praise. Thenceforwsrd 1t was a great success The
business columns of the press spread the glorious
news far and wide, and the martyrs TO indigestion,
btousness, physical prostration and premature de-
cay, as II by common consent, sought relief from
the new vegetable restorative. They found Uhat
they sought. From that time TO the present the in
crease IN the demand for Plantation Bitters has
been one OF the most striking events In this aga

MAY DAY.-Time, in its ceaseless flight, has
brought US once more to the eyer-welcome May
Day, with its cluster Of cherished memories and
happy associations. All nature has been touched
by the gentle breath OF spring, and everywhere
in city and country, on hill and in dale. on noun
tain and in yalley-its reinvgorating and rejuv-
enating presence is felt and admired. Our
spirits revel in the genial sunshine, and our
hearts rejoice in the wealth Of beauty which
everywhere extends itself to our gaze And
although many Of us will not participate in the
usages of yore, we still cling with tenacty to the
memories Of the past, and recount with pleasure
the crowning of our May Queen upon the occur
renee Of these happy anniversaries. Others will
perhaps recall the occasion Of their hieing away
across the green fields and dewy meadows in
quest of the slowly-moviDg snail,in whose tortu-
GUS windings upon plate of flour they professed
to be able to read the name of their future life
companion while others still will review the
manner peculiar to themselves, in which they
celebrated the occasion. 1t is indeed fit time
for memory-for reflection. Let US not refuse
to follow at the bidding of our minds, but return
to our youthful days and studying carefully the
chart of our lives we may be able to gather
therefrom wisdom and experience, alike profta-
Bile and pleasant to us as we proceed adown the
declivity OF life.
