An event has to-day transpi1ed in this COM

the celebrated Vandcrpoo1 case. It will be re-
membercd b; those who recall the incidents OF
that remarkable case that at the time of the
murder OF Herbert Field he was residing with.
aud rs the protege OF, an elderly lady nnmod
Rachel Hill, whom he styled his ''aunt." 1t
will also be remembered that the COUNSEL for
the defendant, on one or more trials OF the
cane, attempted to direct suspicion toward
Miss Hil, aud to challenge tho relations exist
ing between Herbert Field and his so-calied
aunt" But it will be proper to say just here
that those having tho very best means OF OBJ
serving and knowing their relations, have never
believed tlat any relation existed between
them, except such as were entirely honorable
and praiseworthy to both-

purchased about four grains OF morphine.
From the drug store she went directly home,

The Widows Protest.
(By Mark Twain.)

One of the saddest things
that ever came under my
notice (said the Bankers clerk
was there in Corning during
war. Dan Murphy enlisted as a
private, and fought very bravely.
The boys all liked him; and when a
wound, by-and-by, weakened him
down till carrying a musket was
too heavy work for him, they
dubbed together and fixed him up
as a sutler. He made money then,
and sentit always to his wife to bank
for him. She was a washer and
ironer, and knew enough by hard
experience to keep money when she
got it. She didn't waste a penny.
On the contrary, she began to get
misery as her bank account grew.
She grieved to part with a cent,
poor creature, for twice in her hard
working life she had known what
it was to be hungry, cold, friendless,
sick, and without a dollar in the
word, and she had a haunting
dread of suffering so again. Well,
at last Dan died; and the
boys, in testimony of their es-
TEEN and respect for him, tel
egraphed to Mrs. Murphy to know
if she would like to have him en-
balmed and sent home; when you
know the usual custom was to dump
q poor devil like him into a shallow
hole, and then inform his friends
what had become of him. Mrs.
Murphy jumped to the conclusion
that it would only cost two or three
dollars to embalm her dead hus-
band, and SO she telegraphed eyes"
1t was at the awake" that the bill
for embalming arrived and was pre-
scented to the widow.
She uttered a wild sad wall that
pierced every heart, and said "Siv-
inty-fioive dollars for stooffin' Dan,
blister their sowls! Did thin divils
suppose l was goin' to start a Mu-
seim, that I'd be dalin' i'm such OK.
Iinsive ~curiassities ?"
The bankers clerk said there was
not a dry eye In the house.

in regions where animals r fed
with grain and hay. This is due
to the absence of winter SHOWS
and to the moisture of last year.
The dryness of this spring is not ia
vorable for the feed to grow for the
coming summer and winter, but as
the range is almost unlimited, q
greater area can be utilized. In
Kansas the losses of stock are re-
ported to have been heavy.
In Great Britain the first week In
May was cold, heavy winds pre-,
vailed, and previous hard frosts had
killed potatOe tops and did some
damage to fruit buds. The winter
had been marked by absence OF
rain and many of the wells were
low. Much the same condition pre-
vailed i'm France. The winter
wheat, however, was uncOmmonly
bright and promising. The advices
from the interior wheat regions of
Russia were of rather an unfavor-
able nature, and i'm Hungary a
drouth had prevailed.
The season is yet early, but the
outlook is extremely favorable. Last
year was the "off year." and a large
surplus will now be required to meet
the deficiency. This is proved by
the low condition of stock culture in
the West, and by the heavy losses
east of the Plains. Still an extraOr-
binary surplus of farm products
must, according to all appearances,
seek our markets within a few
months. Business men, manufac-
turers, and others having influence
and power would he safe in enlarg-
ing their operations, that the aces
sion about to be made to the wealth
of the country may result in prosper
ity to the producers. Sound and le-
gitimate expansion of credit and ex-
tension of facilities for t%ranspOrta-
ton will be needed to meet the
wants of the people, now increasing
both i'm number and i'm wealth
