Didn't Shoot to Kill.

A very strange case recently came up
in the courts of Cumberland, Md. John
Coleman loved Orpha Miller, and they
were engaged. For some reason the
marriage was delayed nearly a year,
when Orpha thought better of it and
gave Coleman his dismissal. She re-
ceived other suitors, whereat Coleman
became enraged and threatened to kill
his rivals. On the morning of Monday,
August 26, last, he met Miss Miller in
apath in the woods. about half mile
from her her home, as she was going
to a neighbor's. He asked her to sit
down talk with him, which she did.
The interview lasted six hours, and was
no doubt one of those replete with re-
proaches, explanations and forgivings
that may have experienced and modern
novelists delight to sketch. Finding
his case apparently hopeless, he pro-
duced revolver and asked
her to shoot him or he would
shoot her. AS she turned to look away
the weapon was discharged, the ball
entering near the centre of the breast,
inficting very dangerous butnot fatal
wound. She fell to the ground, and
Coleman started off and went home,
hiding his pistol on the way under
soma hnshne Mise M;lle4 ipy tLe-s
about three hours, when she sufficient
ly revived to get upon her feet and
managed to walk, though slowly, about
half the distance to her home, ther
meeting farmer who assisted her the
rest of the way. Her situation was
critical for several days, but strong
constitution successfully withstood the
shock and she recovered. Strange tc
say, the parties have become reconoiled
and though Miss Miller still refuses tt
marry Coleman, she asserts that the
shooting was accidental. The case fol-
the defense was conducted with view
to work upon the sensibilities of the
jury, and the would-be assassin wa,

A Temperance Turnout,

In response to the appeal of the
Woman's Temperance Association of
Hilsboro, Ohio, to the women of High
land County, that village, says letter,
was the scene of the most gigantic tenn
perance demonstration probably ever
witnessed in Ohio. Early in the fore
noon the crowd began to pour in, in
buggies, in wagons, in expresses,
sleighs, jumpers, and sleds; on horse
back and by cars. They streamed in on
every street until the town was swarm
ing, seeming to be overfowing with the
mass of vehicles, horses, and human
beings.
Never since war times had so many
persons congregated on our streets.
The sleighing was excellent. 1t was a
pleasant day. Everything was favor
able, and everybody happy except the
"whisky men," About eleven O'Clock
the multitude made its way to the Pres
byterian church, where stirring meet
ing was held and several speeches made,
among them one by Van Pelt, of Wen
ma, once the " wickedest man in Ohio, "
now an effective worker for the temper
ance cause. The visitors were conduct.
ed to a bounteous lunch prepared by
the women of Hillsboro in the base
ment of the church, to which ample and
summary justice was done. At half
past one P. NJ. the town hall was filed,
crammed, and iammed for further ex-
ercises. Van Pelt claims that the
women have adopted the right plan, and
that they cannot fail if they persevere.
He said he could stand as much as any
other man, but the prayers of the wo.
men were too much for him.
In Logan, Ohio, forty-six ladies ap.
peared in the streets and began Their
work upon the saloons. In the after.
noon their number was increased t.
eighty, and their success was quite en-
couraging for the first day. All the
druggists signed the druggists pledge
at once, and some inroads have been
made upon the Glow places"

Alpine Lakes.

Although Professor Gastaldi, of Tu-
rim, after careful study of the italian
Alps, has adopted Professor Ramsey's
view of the excavation of Alpine lake
basins by ice, Sir Charles Lyell is
strongly opposed to that view Ho
maintains that they Lave been produced
by changes of level in valleys, pro-
ducing depressions which have been
preserved during the glacial epoch by
being filed with ice while at other
times they were either soon filled by
debris, or their lower barriers were cut
down as fast as they were formed. He
then accounts for the fact that lakes
only occur in any abundance in glacia-
ted districts. He further maintains
that the erosive power of glaciers, as
indicated by the muddy torrent that
always issues from them, has been
overrated, because "the flower of
rock" thus produced is due, not solely
to the wearing down of the floor of the
valley, but to a considerable extent to
the grinding up of the stones which
fall upon the glacier and are engulfed
in its crevasses. Mature.

VOL. II.
Little Miss MeddIesOme.

Little Miss Meddlesome, scattering crumbs,
Into the library noisily comes
Twirls off her apron, tilts open some books,
And into the work-basket rummaging, looks.
Out go the spools, spinning over the floor;
Beeswax and needle-case stepped out before
She tosses the tape-rule and plays with the
floss,
And says to herself, "Now, won't mamma be
cross Z"
Little Miss Meddlesome climbs to the shelf,
Since no one is looking, and mischievous elf,
Pulls down the fine vases the cuckoo clock
stops,
And sprinkles the carpet with damaging
drops.
She turns over the ottoman, frightens the
bird,
And sees that the chairs in medley are
stirred;
Then creeps on the sofa, and all in heap,
Drops out of her frolicsome mischief asleep.
But here comes the nurse, who is shaking hel
head,
And frowns at the mischief asleep on the bed
But let's hope when Miss Meddlesome's slum
Der is o'er
She may wake from good dreams and do mis-
chief no more.

Stealing O Bride.

The raid against the brigands of
Thessaly by the Turkish troops seems
to be carried on with energy by Mehe-
met Ali and his subordinates, and ex-
pectations are fondly entertained of the
complete exterminatlon before long of
these interesting ruffians. In the mean
time, the adventures of the brigands
are well worth the attention of sensa-
tional novelists, who will seldom find a
more favorable opportunity for gather
ing elastic materials which may be
easily stretched to the length of three
volumes by the exercise of little inge-
nuity.
The hero Of the hour in Thessaly is
the brigand chief Stratzo, who lately
distinguished himself by carrying of
the bride from the midst of a nuptial
procession, and who is now the object
of hot pursuit by the Turkish troops.
The bride who was thus abstracted is,
it is stated, young lady of no incon-
siderable personal attractions, who had
trided with Stratzo's affections by re-
ceiving numerous gifts from him, and
consequently, according to the notions
of the country, had no right to bestow
her hand upon any one but the brigand
1t is probable that she was not altogeth-
er unwilling to be carried off by STRAIT
20, who after her abduction departed
with her to Olympus, where he re-
mained for some time secure from the
pursuit of Mehemet Ali Pasha. He
subsequently, however, was imprudent
enough to descend into the plain, and
the Turkish general having learned that
he was hiding in the district of Alias
sonia, sent ninety men to scour that
part of the country; but Stratzo and his
band had again given the soldiers the
slip, and taken up their winter quarters
on the other side of Olympus, where
the authorities possess far less energy
and determination than the Turkish
general.
