Death Among Strangers.

We have. frequently, says the New York Times, called attention to hor- rible affair which happened some time ago on Blackwell's Island. A well. known planter of the Bahama Islands was on visit to New York, when he happened to fall ill. Unluokily for him, he was taken to the Charity Hos- pital on Blackwell's Island, and there, as it is alleged, he was very much neg lected and ill-used, and it came to pass that he died. Many a poor unknown man or woman has shared the same dis nal fate in tho same charitable instl- tution." Mir. Freneh-that was the name of the planter-happened to be in good circumstances, but the amiable attendants on Blackwell's Island were not aware of the fact. After his death his body was cast into trench, "with over 600 other bodies," to quote the words of the Board of Aldermen, so that his kinsfolk were denied even the satisfaction. of decently interring his remains. And this may happen to any stranger who is taken. sick in New York, and is dragged of to Blackwell's s Island. After nine months hesitation. the Board of Aldermen has at last ordered an inquiry into the circum- stances, --s

Nil DeSDerAndum.

A real healthy man or woman is a rarity; and what wonder? when we realize that it is the custom to overload the stomach, and then produce chronic disease by the use of spirituous liquors, "'Tonics," "Appetizers," " Restera- tives," etc. Having first produced dis ease by indiscretion, the victim wonders why "nothing does him good" Just so and the reason is that they all, or nearly all, find basis in alcohol-oR POISON. To all thus discouraged we can conscientiously say, "make ono more trial" Discard spirituous medicines, and give NATURE chance, aiding her in tho struggle by using one of her own pure and unadulterated herb remedies, in the shape of VINEGAR BITTERs. The discoverer, DR. J. WALKER, of Cali fornia, is no pretender, but an honorable practicing physician. and his discovery is the result of years of labor and study. The wonderful cures effected by them of Dyspepsia, Fevers, Rheumatism, and many other terrible diseases, are almost incredible. e.-COna.

ALLEGED TRICK DY THE NAVY DKYART-
MEET.-The Boston Advertiser, In noticing
the lunch of the Vandaiia at Charleston,
says:
In ths "repairing" OF the V"ndalia, not
only has she been recreated, but evidently
inflated. for where the old ws oil WAS CT
1910 tons displacement, she is now of Q. 100
tons. The taking Of rib Of Adam and the
making Of an Eve out Of it is surpassed, for
they have taken rib something from the
old Vandalia and made a new Vandalia out
of il. And now there are two of them The
way of 1t is this. Congress wouldn't allow
the Navy Department to build as many new
sloops OF war as were wanted. and 80 the
Navy Department managedto get IA verylarse
appropriation for repairs-enough to build
several brand new vessels. So some Of the
rottenest old hulks in the navy were taken
to the various navy yards, and some insig.
nificant part of each of them-a spike, plank
or rb-was taken and new vessel built on
to IT. That is the way the Yandalia has beer
"repaired," making anew vessel entirely
different in shape, size and material. The,

mouth yard, and several other vessels q

a STARTLED BRIDEGRooM.-Not ma
ny weeks ago Il wealthy and middle aged
bachelor of San Francisco espoused one
of the tairest daughters of that city, and
the wedding was celebrated in one of the
most fashionable churches, and in the
presence of the creme de td creme of San
Francisco society. The bridegroom was
a Fortyniner, and he had once been any
thing but sober and industrious citizen.
There had even been rumors TO the eff
feet that when he made the overland
journey he left behind in the States a wife
and two children, and these rumors were
awkwardly revived, when his recent mar
riage was first announced. The Forty
miner was now undeniably rich and re-
spectacle, and people were generally dis
posed to pass over his antecedents with
out subjectiDg them to n scrutiny that
might prove disagreeable. And so the
wedding day arrived.
When the Forty-nner and his bride
turned from their places in front of the
altar, after the clergyman had pronounce
ed them man and wife, the spectators
were astonished to see tall, dismal look
ing and sable habted man rise from Il
place in one of the front pews, approach
the bridegroom and gently tap him on
the shoulder. The effect Of this proceed
ing on the Forty-niner was rather singu-
lar, for his countenance assumed a ghast-
ly expression, and he quickly resigned
his newly made wife to her friends, and
turned anXiously to the stranger, who
simply remarked, l wish to talk with
you moment privately, sir" The For
ty-niner struggled hard to conceal his
emotion, and finally said: Il assure
you, sir, that-that-wha in the thunder
did you come at such time as this tor?"

neral-looking gentleman firmly; please

so, while the assembled company busted
itself in winking and whispering, and
looking alternately at the fainting bride
and the agonized bridegroom. when

gentleman, sit is necessary for him to
look with prudence upon the future, and

citation l repre-" The sentence was
never finished. There was a chorus of
female shrieks, a general rush Of gentle
men, and the Forty-niner was suddenly
observed to seize his interviewer by the
collar and kick him into tho aisle. The
enterprisng cemetery agent was quickly
disposed of, the trembling bride regained
her color and composure, and thereafter
all went merry as marriage-bell.

POWER OF THE IMAGINATIoN. 49, A
man Of science in Paris once prevailed on
the Minister of Justice to experiment ON
n murderer who had been condemned to
death. The criminal was of high rank,
and he was informed that in order to save
the feelings of his family, he would not
be put to death upon the scatlold, but
bled to death within the precincts OF the
prison also that his death would be free
from pain. His eyes were bandaged, he
was strapped to a table, and at II pre-
concerted signal four of his veins were
gently prcked with pin. At each cor
ner of the table was small fountain of
water so contrived as to flow gently into
basins prepared to receive it, Believing
that it was his blood he heard flowing, he
gradually became weak and the CON
ycrsaton Of the doctors in an undertone
confirmed him in his opinion. " What
fine blood !" said one. " What a pity
this man should be condemned to die he
would have lived long time" Hush !
said the other then approaching the first
he askek him in low voice, but so as to
be heard by the criminal, How many
pounds Of blood are there in the human
body " Twenty-four, you see already
about ten pounds extracted that man is
now in hopeless state ~ The physi-
clans then receded by degrees, and con-
tinued to lower their voices. The still
ness which rcigned in the apartment,
broken only by the dripping fountains,
the sound Of which was gradually lessen
ed, so affected the brain Of the poor pa
tient that although a man Of very strong
constitution, he tainted and died without
having lost drop of od.-From Doc

WIFE CATCHING.-Tho marriage GER
emony is performed curiously by the Es-
qumaux. When boy kills a polar
bear, it is considered sufficient proof Of
his ability to maintain Il family; he is
therefore told to 90 aud catch a wife.
Watching his opportunity at night, he
pounces on victim and attempts TO car
ry her off. She, however, struggles and
shreks until she has collected around her
n group OF sympathizers. She then turns
upon her cnptor, and bites and scratches
him until he is obliged to release her,
then sh0 darts into the crowd aud at
tempts to escape. The expectant BRIDE
groom follows her, but not unmolested.
All the old women take ,courages Of seal
skin and Aaggelate him Numerically as
he passes, making at the same time every
effort to arrest him in his course. If, de-
spite these little impediuents to matri-
monial bliss, he should catch his victim,
the biting and scratching scene is renew
cd, and, in all probability, he is compell-
cd to release her, and the chase, with its
attendant discomforts, is resumed, and,
should he overcome all obstacles, the
third capture proves eilectual and the
victim, ceasing her struggles, is led away
amid the acclamations aud rejoicings Of
the assembled multitude.

THE local option law is making itself
felt in nearly every county In the State.
1t has received as little attention in Ma
rim, we think, as in any county, Tomales
being the only township which has agi-
tated the question, and we do not know
that any petition is being circulated there.
San Jose is making a strenuous fight to
carry it, and even in Visalia it is believed
that the bars will closed. ex-District
Attorney there who has heretofore drank
his part, if not more, is active in favor
Of the petition. He denounced a drug
gist who refused to sign it, and put his
name down on the list Of those who were
opposed to temperance. This the drug
gist demurred to, and finally he struck
the lawyer, and each drew a pistol. A
| fight, or even few murders would be
commonplace enough in that bloody town
but heretofore the rows have been all in
the name Of whisky, and this is the first
one for temperance. This may be called
untemperance for temperance. The pop
ularity Of this law argues very remark

few years, and is one of the most sgnif-
cant Of the times. .-MaI'in journal.
