passed. The hotel there, under the super

roughly refitted, with perfectly new furni-
ture, and a new wharf and new bath
houses are attractions that Will not fail to
be appreciated by those who seek for real
comfort. The bar-rooms, ten-pin alley and
billiard rooms have been leased by that
energetic and courteous gentleman, Charlie
Lacoume, whose reputation for keeping only
the finest and choicest liquors is estab.

of the water are unmistakable, and are es-
pecially recommended to persons suffering
from scrofnla, dyspepsia or diseases of the
bladder or kidneys. There are three trains
per day from this city, and the terms are
extremely moderate. See advertisement

AWFUL TRAGEDY.
YOUNG KENTUCKIAN KILLS HIMSELF IN
THE ARMS OF HIS WIFE.

| Only two short months ago we chroni-
cled the marriage of Miss Mollie Huey-one
Of Troy's fairest belles-to Robert L. Reid,
| Of Water Valley, Ky, and now we have the
sad duty to perform of giving to the public
the details Of his taking his own life, and
going unbidden in the presence Of his
Maker, under circumstances at once painful
and horrible.
On last Friday, Reid was taken with one
Of his crazy spells, in which he imagined
that some parties were trying to kill him,
but on Sunday he was some better, SO much
SO that on Saturday night himself and wife
retired to rest at an early hour, and Mrs.
Reid, being tired out, Immediately dropped
off to sleep. She awoke some time in the
night and missed him from her side; she
Immediately arose and searched for him
until daylight, but without success. Sun
day morning a messenger came from Mr..
Fowler, brother-in-law to Reid, who lived
some three miles of, stating that Reid was
there and wanted her to come at once. She
did so and found him there. 1t seems that in
the ght the hallucination that his life was
in danger took possession Of him, aad rising
with nothing on but his night clothes, in his
sock feet, travelled three miles through mud
and water, sometimes up to his knees, to
Mr.. FOwlel's, where he was taken in and
cared for, and it was it this place that he
committed the suicidal act. He was lying
upon a lounge in room with no one present
but his wife, when he saw two men coming
up the road, and told her that those were
the men that were trying to kill him. She
endeavored 10 quiet his fears, but to no
avail. He told her that he intended to kill
himself that day; but she attributed the
words to the workings of disordered brain,
and paid but little attention to them. She
stepped to the door moment, when he
called her and asked her if she wanted to go
the grave with him, or follow him. He then
drew a pistol he had concealed under the
head of the bed, and attempted the rash act,
but she snatohed the pistol from him. He
then rose from the couch, serzed her, and
with maniac's force, wrenched the deadly
weapon from her grasp, and before she had
time to summon assistance, threw himself
upon the lounge, and with her arms around
him, in the vain endeavor to get possession
of the weapon, placed the cold muzzle
against his forehead, pressed the trigger and
fell back a corpse, the blood squirting out all
over his stunned and terrified wife.

Emigration.

Many good people have felt some
alarm at the vast numbe: of foreign
born citizens who, this season, have
gone back to their former homes
supposing that the panic and the con.
sequent scarcity oflabor had driven
them back to Europe. All these
fears are groundless. The fact is the
dullness of trade has told terribly up.
on the steamship lines, and all OF
them have been running at a loss.
To get as much business as possible,
they all put down the rates of pass
age to very small sum to induce
travel. Thousands upon Thousands
Of well-to-do Irishmen, Germans and
Frenchmen have taken advantage of
the reduction to revisit their old
homes, and that is all there is of it.
They will all return in the fall and
bring others with them, who will be
attracted by what they say of the
''land af the free," but more. by the
evident prosperity of those who re-
turn.
Emigration is not as brisk as in
former years, for the simple reason
that there is bat little work now.
But emigrants are coming every day,
nevertheless. The farm-laborers Of
England who are out of work in con-
sequence of the great strike, are COM
ing. Indeed, one hundred and fifty
of them landed here last week, and 1
took the trouble to see them. They
are generally good people, though
lamentably ignorant. They lived
the life of animals, almost, on the
great estates that held them, with no
earthly opportunities for development
in any direction. One of them told
me that his entire family, consisting
of himself and wife and eight children,
lived in a cottage" Of two rooms, IN
which there were no floors, the en-
tire family sleeping together in one
room! In this mans fsmily was one
rather pretty girl, of eighteen, who
every year had to go away to work
living with her fellow-laborers in pre-
cisely the same way! The condition
of things on those estates may be i'm
agined. The wages paid to laborers
in this country seemed to them enor-
nous, and they were anxious to get
West and get att.
"Why," said one Of them to me,
"they say well get never less than
four shillin' day! At that, l can
earn a house for myself"
Some day that man will not only
own q house, but it will stand IN the
centre of Ie6 acres Of Kanss land.

The stomach ofRaminaat..

When Prof L. B. Arnold said that
if fine meal is fed to an OK or a COW
it passes at once to the fourth stom-
ach, entirely missing the other three
be doubtless intended to state what
is the exact fact aud probably onlv
missed stating it in way clearly 20
be comprehended, by inadvertance.
The formation of the compound stom-
ach of the OK or COW is such that the
gullet communicates directly with
three of the four compartments Of
which the stomach is composed. The
communication is by no means a
canal or passage in which there are
longitudinal openings or slits. These
openings are closed by set ofmus-
cles which relax upon a certain
amount of pressure, or il NAV be by
the will of the animal, but more prob-
ably in the former way. When
coarse, bulky food is swallowed It
forces the entrance TO the first stomach
open and portion is deposited in It.
another portion passes along the ca
nal little further and enters the
second stomach. If the food is not
bulky and in 6ne condition It fails
to open these passages 20 the third
stomach, which is what is called
maniplies. The guIlet ends at the
entrance Of this part Of the stomach,
and goes no further. The third
compartment Of the stomach commu-
nicates with the fourth by q passage
entirely distinct from the gullet.
Food, therefore, from the gullet can
not enter into the fourth stomach
without passing through the third
The fourth stomach or compartment
of the whole stomach is the only one
in which the process digestion
Of takes place. It is the
rennet Of the calf. No food is return
ed from it nor from the third to the
mouth for ruminstion- The "cud"
is elected from the 6rst or second or
both OF these compartments by q Pc
riodical action Of the muscles. The
mOrsel eJected IS formed into q ball or
bolus in the canal, and is forced
through the throat by q muscular ex-
ertion exactly the reverse Of that Of
swallowing into the mouth. Here it
is chewed along with eOpiOus sup
ply Of saliva until it becomes liquid
mass, which, when swallowed, passes
so readily along the gullst as to leave
the entrances whence It issued un-
opened, and passing over them es-
capes into the third compartment,
after which it is carried into the
fourth or true digestive stomach.
How long the food stsys in the man
iplies or third compartment or stom-
scb, is not known; probably q very
short time; hence the fact that Prof
Arnold found 6ne meal in the fourth
stomach when the animal was killed
Immediately after the meal was svsl-
lowed. But it Of course passed
through the third compartment on
its way to the fourth oBe.-KeystOHe.
