A FAITHLEss WIFE.
A Married Woman Elopes with Her
Cousin, Who Is Shot by Her Has

About six years ago, young coupie re-
siding IN the vicinity of Rock Ford, Ruth
erford county, Tenn, were married. The
young man was comfortably well off, kind,
considerate and affectionate. The young
lady belonged to an excellent family,
had hosts Of friends and vas con-
sidered the handsomest girl in that sec
ton. The two had known each other
from childhood, and everything indicated
that their married life would be a happy
one. The fair bride was eighteen years of
age, and Der husband was a few years
older. After the marriage ceremony, the
young couple settled near the home of the
father Of the young lady, the husband hav-
ing purchased farm adjoining. In due
course of time children came to bless their
union, and so far as their neighbors knew,
the life Of this couple passed as pleasantly
and happily as that Of welded pairs should.
In the vicinity of the home of the per
sons referred to, lived q cousin Of the hus-
band's-a wild, harem-scarem sort of a
young man, full Of life and fun, and this
cousin was always heartily welcomed to
the home Of Mr.. -. Time passed on,
and the husband noticed that his wife was
not as ahectionate as she had been in the
past, but DO thought Of her unfaithfulness
crossed his mind until about ten days
ago, when he surprised her reading
q letter which she seemed disposed to
conceal from him. To bis inquiry as to
whom the letter was from, he received an
evasive answer, and as bis suspicious had
been aroused, the husband took occasion

PROGRESS OF STORMS.

The meteorological observers are COM
pairing notes in reference to storm which
struck England on the night of Sunday,
Dec. s, aud one which visited the eastern
coast of America on Christmas night. From
the characteristics of the two tempests the
weather-wise think It was the same storm,
which beloved across the Atlantic, and
is still fighting its way west. In the
British islands if developed itself in wind
and rain. And in Ameri-a it cOngealed and
became frozen hurricane. In England it
did 3 great deal of damage to life and prop
erty, wrecking ships, blowing down forests
and houses, and killing great many pao-
pie. In London alone forty "storn pa
tients" were received in one night at The
various hospitals. The highest wind-pres-
sure ever known In England is represent
ed by twelve. The late storm was
marked eleven. A year ago a
storm was Graded in Asia which
caused much disaster in the land Of its
birth, and sometime after the like phe-
nomena took place in Europe, leading the
meteorologists to suppose it was the same
storm. Doubtless it was. The identity Of
such hurricanes once established, we have
only to cultivate more intimate acquaint-
ance with the currents of our atmosphere,
10 be able TO ride the whirlWinds with per
feet safety, and prepare for their shock long
before they can come. .. .-.-.

Going so Fight over their GeOgra-
p phies.
LONDON, Jan. .i5-HeraLd Special
There is much measiness In consequence
of the English note to Russia regarding the
disputed boundary question In Central
Asia. In the settlement of the relations
between the two powers q few years ago
England only required Russia to abstain
from the invasi ion of Afghanistan, but the
boundary Of that territory was left undefn-
ed. The present note declares that the
northern boundary Of, Afghanistan COM
mences at Lake of Sirikot in the Premier
Steppe, then follows the Oxus river to Ka-
jadah Saleh, and from that point westward
to the Persian frontier. The note further
states that England has informed the Emir
of Afghanistan that he may fight the Rus
slams if they cross this line.
The Russian reply declares that the desire
of Russia is to maintain good relations
with England, but it refuses to accept the
indicated boundary, because it includes
countries which never belonged to Afghan
istan, but were always independent.
Russia's object in taking Khiva is appa-
rently to establish depots and hold and oc-
cupy the whole valley Of the Oxus. En-
gland draws this line to interfere with Rus
sia's purpose, and to enable the former pow
er the better to hold the Hinderkush as line
of defanse when the day of fighting comes.

SINGULAR MORTALITY IN A FAMI-

The Rev. DR.. Amasa Converse, editor of
the Louisville, KY, and Richmond, Va,
Christian Observer, and formerly OF Phlla-
delphia, died at Louisville on the 9th of De-
cember last, after four days Illness. The
intelligence of his death reached a relative
of his in Richmond on the 10th, and she COM
municated it by letter to another relative,
Gov. Converse, of Vermont, then at Wood
stock in that State, on the same day. The
letter reached him on the 18th, on which
day bis wife, who was standing by his side,
after reading the letter, suddenly fell dead
on the floor, no previous intimation of dis
ease having been given. The Governors
niece, Miss Luna E. Edison, who had lived
for many years in his house, was absent at
the time, being on visit st Burlington,
Vermont.
A telegraphic dispatch was sent to the
lady whom she was visiting, so that the
news might be broken to her gently, but,
although this was done in the kindest man
ner, the young lady was so overcome by
the shock that she became unable to swal-
low anything or to sleep. She could not
start for Woodstock that evening, as
the last train had departed; but next
morning the lady escorted Miss Ed
son, by rail, to Woodstock, the latter
taking a violent chill on the road. Miss
Edison, on her arrival at her uncle's, was
Just able to kiss the lif5.ess features of her
aunt and retire to bed, where she lay, grad
uSlly sinking, until the 9th of December,
when she died. Her mother, who was sis
ter to Mrs. Converse, and had long lived
with her, worn out with watching and grief.
thereupon took to her bed, and died on the
1st of January.
And thus Gov. Converse, who is univer-
sally beloved and respected, has been be-
reaVed of his entire family. He has no
children. He was elected Governor of
Vermont by Republican majority Of
twenty thousand.-Riclmoad Enquirer.
