TOO HAPPY TO LIVE.

The Paris journals tell of a young
couple who We're too happy to live, at
least the accounts seem to be colOred
with that idea. NJ Bastein was young
architect of promise. He had married
young lady of beauty and accomplish
ments, the daughter of rich merchant,
Nj. Channard. The couple had been
married nine months on last New Years
Day, and appeared to be sincerely de
voted to each others Mime. Bastein's
person gave proof of her devotion, and
she expected soon to become a mother.
On New Years Day the couple went to
dine with NJ Channard, and returned
home at midnight. NJ. Channard was
engaged to dine with them next day. In
the morning the lady Wen. ont to make
some purchases, and returned at noon.
In the course of the afternoon there were
several rings of their door-bell. but no
answer was returned. According to APP
pointment NJ Channard came and rang
no response. He was told that several
other persons had been equally unsuc-
cessful. A lOcksmith was called and the
door was opened. The Young people
were found dead in their bed, Nine
Bastein clad in her dressing gown and
her husband in his trowsers and waist
coat. The remains of the breakfast OF
which both had evidently partaken were
on the table. A bottle of ammonia and
one of sedative water We're on the mantel-
piece. These were the only answers to
blank inquiry andsearching grief. Moth
ing was disarranged in the room, and
there the young man and wife lay locked
III each others arms, and death had
clutched the last smiles on their faces.
1t was photograph of love and peace.
They We're perfectly happy, and they
locked themselves in with their happi-
ness and called death to turn the KEY.
The world could not rob them now, and
they lay and smiled the smile of victory.
A medical man said they had poisoned
themselves, and gave it as his opinion
that the wife died first. Was there Just
a moment OF regret at the separation in
the husbands hearts Did he look in
her face and smile when he thought that
he was about to rejoin her and meet that
sweet face on the other side!

Il REAL ROMANCE.

On the Both ultimo Sylvester Guiber
son, son of n. w. Guiberson, of this
county, was married to Miss Minnie
Waters, of Excelsior, Mimi, and this is
the way it happened: A young gentle
man and Miss Waters were on the lake
skating when suddenly the ice gave way
and they were treated to remarkably
deep and cold bath. Three big towards
stood near them, but would lend no
assistance. Mr.. GJnberson was almost
quarter of mile distant, but heard
their cries of distress, rushed to the
scene, at once comprehended the situa-
ton, and In a moment proceeded to
rescue the young lady, who was almost
drowned and frozen, and on arriving at
the shore informed the three cowardly
whelps that if they did not go and get
her young companion he would throw
each one in after him-an order they at
once Obeyed. Mr.. Guiberson carried
his young prize to the nearest house,
where she was properly cared for, and as
soon as she was able he escorted her to
her home. This was enough for the old
aunt of the young lass, and straightway
the collrtship began, which eliminated
in their marriage.

A SAw-MILL BUSINESS IN PENSIONS. -
The important place occupied by the
Union soldiers in Legislation is shown by
the work of the House Committee on In
valid Pensions during the session of Con
gress just closing: The committee has
reported ON 124 different cases, and passed
one general bill relating to artificial
limbs. This bill provides that all soldiers
or sailors who, while in the line of duty,
were disabled in any limbs, and can be
benefited by the use of an artificial limb
or mechanical appliance, shall he fur
nished the limb or appliance or commu-
tation therefor once every five years. The
second session, which is that every per-
son entitled to pension on account of a
leg or arm wholly disabled shall be en-
titled to receive the same pensions as
if the leg or arm had been amputated
above the knee or elbow, increases the
pensions to S24 per month of very de-
serving class No person receiving $24
per month for the loss of leg or arm will
be entitled to an artificial limb. The
business of the committee has been very
laborious. The whole number of refer
ences was 1,464. The disposition of these
was covered by a general bill relating to
articles of pension 200 covered By gen
eral bills /; reported for increase of pen
sion, 125; private bills reported favor
ably, 300; reported adversely, 500. This
leaves not acted on 339. Though ma
jority of these cases probably have merit
in them, no action could be taken ON ac-
count of the insufficiency of evidence and
want of time. The House has not over
ruled this committee in single report
they have made, which is not true of any
other committee in this Congress.
