A BEAUTIFUL INCIDENT In an obit
.uary notice of Frederick Clark, who died
in New Garden, Russell county, Va. on
the 18th January, the writer relates the
following beautiful and touching Incl
dent:
''The weeping friends and relations were
standing around the grave, when suddenly
the attention of all was drawn to novel
circumstance. Thirteen beautiful birds
were flying around and over the grave
Inns was continued for about five minutes
seen ny all present, when they commenced
rising, and after reaching considerable
distance Immediately over the grave, ,moy-
ca slowly OIL in southern direction and
were lost In the distance. The birds were
about the size of large chicken. as white
as snow, and as they turned their snowy
white wings to the sun they seemed to be
as bright as gold.''

A BALLOON DUEL.-Perhaps the most
remarkable duel ever fought took place in
1908. 1t was peculiarly French in it's tone
and could h ardly have occurred under Any
other than a French state of society. M.
LIE Grandprei and NJ. LIE Pique had quar-
rel arising cut Of jealousy concerning a
lady. They agreed to fight duel to set
tie their resi- ,ective claims, and in order
that the heat of angry passion should not
interfere with the polished elegance of the
proceeding, they postponed the duel for
month, the lady agreeing to bestow her
hand on the survivor of the two if the
other was killed; at all events this was in
ferred by the two lnen, if not actually ex-
pressed The duellists were to fight in the
air. Two balloons were constructed eX-
actly alike. On the day denoted, LIE
Grandpre and his second entered the car
of one balloon, LIE Pique and his son that
of the other; it was in the garden of the
Tulllerles, amid an immense concourse of
spectators. The gentlemen were to fire.
not at each other, but at each others bal
looms, in order to bring them down by the
escape OF gas, and as pistols might hardly
have served this purpose, each aronaut
took blunderbuss in his car. AT the
given signal the ropes that retained the
cars were cut and the balloons assembled.
The wind was moderate and kept the
balloons at about their original distance of
eighty yards apart. When half a. mile
above the surface of the earth precon-
certed signal for firing was given. M. LIE
Pique fired but missed NJ. LIE Grandpre
fired and sent a ball through LIE Piuues
balloon. The balloon collapsed, the car
descended with frightful rapidity, and LIE
Pique and his second were dashed to
pieces. LIE Grandpre continued his ascent
triumphantly and terminated his aerial
voyage successfully.

When morning bathes the silent town
In golden glory
Perhaps unwittingly I've heard
Your thrilling toned canary bird
From that third story.
I've seen some change since last we met

On small means striving,
Are you (if Love such luck allows)
Some lucky fellows spouse?
Is baby thriyinge .' :
My heart grows chilean soul like thine
Have tired of this dear world of mine,
And snapt Lies fetter?
To find world whose promised bliss
Is better than the best of this
And is it better?

But if / try to
Obtain one glance they look discreet,
AS though they'd some one else to meet,

Now let us make a tryst, and when,
Dear little soul, we meet again
The mansion is preparing-then

AMERICAN WOMEN II is q melancholy
fact, that American women have degfn-
Grated in point OF health and physique,
until they have become literally a race
OF invailds. How sad IL is To look
around us and compare the frail and
eiieminate looking lady OF to-day with
Tue hale, hearty and buIom ladies of
DAYS gone bv. To all such the late dis.
covery Of Dr.. Walker, OF California,
which is known as Vinegar Bitters, ia a
priceless boon indeed. For this class
Of diseases it is certain and safe, and
any lady, old Or young, can take il with
entire confidence in the result, and thus
avoid what TO thousands is a stumbling
block never overcome, VIA consnlta
tion with n family physician. TITS true
there may be cases Of years standing,
that will recessitaie more powerful
treatment, but in nine cases out of ten
this remedy will reach the disease, and
after a little time effect a cure. The
number of ladies cured by it are num-
be,ed by thousands, and are scatteie O.
through every state in the union.

the Mason & Hamlin Cabinet Organs to
be "the most distinguished and praise
worthy instruments" of their class &;
praising in detail their power and reao-
nance of tone, variety of combination
and solo effects ; fine power of express
sion ; smooth, even and sympathetic
tones, and thorough workmanship.
They were awarded the first and high
est medal. Other American organs in
competition were declared to be far less
meritorious, the tones and workman
ship being both inferior, In compare

mediocrity." This WIS undoubtedly TIE
