A Much Married Lady.

| One OF the straDgest careers of modern
times has just terminated in the death Of
Lady Peterborough at Damascus. Forty
years ago she was one Of the most. noted
women in Europe, and her residence in the
East has long been sort of scandalous ro-
nance. The daughter of the late Admiral
Sir Henry Digby. beautiful, witty, and
rich. she married in 1924 the Earl Of Ellen
borough, who was afterward Governor. Gen
eral of India, and who at the time was one
Of the most brilliant men of the day She
was seventeen years Of age at the time of
her marriage. and Peterborough, who was
widower, was thirty-four They lived TO-
gether some six years, and her dissolute con-
duct was a cause Of scandal for some time
previous to the catastrophe Of her elopement
with Prince Felix Schwarzenberg, a cele-
brated roue, then Austrian Minister in Lon
don. The event caused an immense sensa-
ton in the world of aristocracy and fashion
Scarborough procured divorce from Par
lament and never married again but his
runaway wife soon separated from Schwar-
zenberg and in 1882 married Baron Vennin-
gen, Bavarian. firing of him presently,
and with her great wealth and personal fas-
cinations having little difficulty in procuring
divorces under the easy laws Of Germany,
she was married in succession to FIVE other
individuals but as none of these unions
met her expectations, they were all dis.
solved after short duration. In 1913, she
was living in Athens with her eighth bus
band, Greek. colonel, Count Theodoki, but
without waiting to become widow she had
this marriage also dissolved, and set out for
the Levant. During a journey from Bey-
rout to Damascus she found new affinity
in the person of an Arab camel driver,
known as Sheikh Abdul, whom she married
after.the Arab fashion, and who was the
ninth and last of her conjugal partners. For
year she accompanied him on his jour
neys between Beyrout and Babylon, faith
fully fulfilling all the duties of a camel dri-
ver's wife, even to milking the camels Tir-
ing of this nomadic life, she built for herself
a charming palace in Damascus, where she
has since lived in her own style, great OBJ
ject of curiosity to all European travellers
Abdul, continuing in business as a camel
driver, was always Hospitality entertained by
her whenever he came to the place And
now she is dead, having completed nearly
three score and ten years, leaving a
colossal fortune to her relatives of the Dig
by family in England, and memory Of
warning and of shame

The PRINCIPLE OF THE THING. A cor
respondent of the Richmond "Dispatch,"
who had the benefit of an acquaintance with
Gen. Lee, at Lexington, and an acquain-
lance with all his chief officers, has been
writing from Appomattox, last week, about
tie occasion when the moment when Gen.
Pendleton approached him to communicate
the decision of his officers, that nothing but
surrender was left for the army, says:
General Pendleton thus describes the in.
terview: General Lee was lying on the
ground. No other heard the conversation
between him aud myself He received my
communication with the reply, Gracious
heavens I trust it has not come to that"
And added, General, we have yet too many
bold men to think of laying down our arms.
The enemy do not fight with spirit, while
our boys still do. Besides, if I were to
say word to the Federal commander, he
would regard it as such a confession Of weak
ness as to make it the occasion of demand

FARM AND FIRESIDE.

TRADING HoRsEs-W ARRANTEE. In ira
ding horses it is generally supposed that the
parties to the bargain depend upon their
own judgment, and if one Is cheated no one
is to blame, but the warr4n tee holds good
in this case, if the party be responsible, just
as much as 10 any other The law in the
case is laid dowo by New York judge as
follows: t
If man warrant horse, it is not neces-
sary for him to say, Il warrant that horse, "
but any distinct affirmation in regard to the
quality or condition of horse made to ope-
rate, and which does operate, on the sale,
amounts to- warantee If man don't
want to warrant he must keep his mouth
shut; and if he does open his mouth, he
must tell tho truth.
If the seeds of disease are in horse when
man warrants him, the man who makes
the warrantee takes the responsibility as to
whether the seed will sprout or not, but a
warrantee don't apply to known defects
which can be seen. If horse has an eye
knocked out, or has but three legs, and the
owner says, II warrant that horse to be
sound" the law does not take notice of that,
as the warrantee does not apply
1t may be further remarked that the SELL
er of mich COW is under quite as clear a
legal obligation to tell the truth as the seller
of horse

styled lighting for an opening, AT
length the champions rushed in, and for
moment, there was terrible screaming,
Tapping of wings, and flying Of feathers
The "round,'' however, was completed
without any serious damage to either of the
contestants. After a little more fencing
the smaller of the two-the birds b.ing at
this time at the edge of the pond-by
dexterous movement, succeeded in fasten-

all his force, and even lifted both birds up
out of the water with his stick, His efforts
were not attended with success The small

BILE article contributed to one of the French
medical journals by DR.. Lambert, be pre-

the use of cold ablutions in fever, as prac-

in typhoid and the eruptive fevers, and
strongly indicated in malignant cases. They
act upon the chief aud most constant dis
eases, are especially anti-febrlle. and reduce
the temperature materially. They favor the

perspiration render the secretions more ac
tive; make the skin supple, moist and
fresh; favor the outcoming of the eruption;
allay cerebral and other nervous excitement,
suppressing headache, coma, delirium and
restlessness, and induce sleep; cause the
pulse to fall eight to thirty beats. From
two to eight hours is the duration of their
action, the additions to be repeated two to
four times in the tWenty-four hours. They
have no influence upon the length of the
sickness, but render it milder, and are read
