A Love Tale Of the CherOkees.

There occurred an interesting little do
nestle episode down in the Cherokee
country not long ago. John Arnold,
young Cherokee, became enamored of one
of the dusky daughters OF semi-civillza
ton who give tone to territorial society,
and, finding favor in her eyes, appointed
a day upon which TO meet and marry her.
Prompt to the moment, impelled upon
the wings of love, John Arnold was at the
designated place, but the maiden whom he
looked for was not there. To say that
John was disappointed would but feebly
convey an idea of his affection; to say
that he was inconsolable would not be
true. John Arnold, though Cherokee,
was a marrying man, and, in default OF
one maiden, he straightway sought an
other. To find an Indian girl blushing
but benevolent was not a painful task !;
another girl was substituted for the recre-
ant one, and the two were married. There
was wedding feast at the house of the
brides father, and the revelry of the oc-
casion extended into the next morning.
Then came an unexpected development,
and this development was the arrival OF
the Indian girl whom John Arnold was TO
have married the day before. She ex-
planned the cause of her delay, and the ex-
PLANTATION was of a character which none
could cavil at. There was, at this par
ticular juncture, q great deal of uDpleas-
antness pervading the atmosphere about
the residence of John Arnold's father-in-
law, and something serious might have
resulted from the rage of the young ladg
who wasn't married, had not the minis
ter who officiated in the ceremony which
had taken place seen fit to spill little oil
upon the troubled waters. The oil was
an opinion by the minister to the effect
that it was not yet too late to correct the
error which had been committed. The
Mrs. Arnold of few hours was consulted,
and, as her acquaintance with her husband
had. as vet, been of the most cursory
character, she did not particularly object
to the suggested change in situation. So
the good Indian minister formally pro-
nounced as null and void the proceedings
of the wedding which had taken place,
and then John Arnold, the Cherokee,
stood up and was married to his first love.
Thus was the problem solved, and all
would have been calm and lovely but for
the opinions of John Arnold's late father
in-law. The father-in-law didn't seem to
grasp the situation properly. Somehow,
he couldn't comprehend how a marriage
knot could be so deity tied and united,
and he waxed mad and dangerous in con-
sequence. They had a great deal of
trouble in reasoning with him, and when
he at length became little pacified, gave
vigorous ultimatum. He announced
that he would overlook the thing, butthat
John Arnold and his wife must get out of
the Territory within the space of thirty
minutes. And so the bride and BRIDE
groom of an hour, John Arnold, the Cher
0kee. and his dark-skinned idol, took the
ultimatum and their blankets and their
leave, and disappeared silently but rapidly
ia the depths of the forest primeval.-S.

A Recent Cincinnati Tragedy.

Mrs. Mary Mills, wife of J. w. Mills,
senior member of the firm of Mills, Spe..
meier & Co., for six weeks past has been
confined to her room by severe illness, and
was Just recovering and had intended to
come down stairs to dinner yesterday.
Feeling pretty well yesterday morning,
she engaged in light employment about
her room, and at the time the accident oc-
CURED (about IL o'clsck) was cutting out
a dress pattern in front of the CRATE. Her
back was turned to the fire, and she had
no knowledge of her danger until the
flames began to leap over her shoulders
and lap her cheeks with their death-telling
breath. The poor woman describes this
moment in the most terrible manner,
when she realized that the flames were en-
wrapping her body. She says that all the
incidents Of death by fire which she had
ever read about came up before her mind
like vivid panorama. Her presence of
mind was completely gone. She was only
a few feet from the bed where several
blankets were spread. 1t would have been
but the work of moment to have snatch
ed uD one of those wooden eXtinguishers
and with it smothered the flames. But,
as in every other case OF the kind, she in
her terror did Just the worst possible thing
she could have done. Her fright led her
to seek the presence of others, and she
rushed screaming down stairs. AT each
step. she made the fatal flames gather
strength and breadth, until by the time
she reached the kitchen they enveloped
her as a cloud. The first object to meet
her eye on getting below was the cistern,
and she made desperate effort to raise
the covering for the purpose of jumping
in. But her strength was already failing
her, and she fell hOpelessly to the floor a
smoldering, blazing heap. The only per-
son in the house at the time was the ser
want girl, who was perfectly beside herself
with fright, and utterly unable to render
her mistress any aid. The agoniZing
screams of Mrs. Mills brought the neigh
bors to the scene, but too late to render
any assistance. The terrible work was
done. Nearly every article of clothing the
suffering woman had worn was burned off,
and the body from the waist to the feet
was crispy mass of quivering flesh. The
tight under garment about the waist,
breast and shoulders saved that part of the
body from serious injury, else death would
have come at once. Ii is only that part of
the body that was not burned to death.
The poor victim lies writhing and clutch
ing invisible objects, and screaming almost
constantly. Ii her nervous system recOv-
ers from the shock she may live, suffering
on for several DAYS. The suffering lady
does not realize her true condition, but
talks continually between her screams OF
what a warning it viii be to her when she

To THE SUFFERING.-An old retired
physician, who is candid enough to tell the
truth about progress, has declared that
the recent discovery by DR.. WALKER, OF
California, of his herb remedy, VINEGAR
BITrERs, is one of the most important IN
medicine. He has tested them thoroughly,
in his own family. among his friends. and
upon himself; and he is driven to The con-
clusion that they possess rare and unexc
ceIled curative properties. He says OF
them: "They contain no dangerous drug.
They never reduce the patient-never rem
der one liable to take cold-never interfere
with the everyday business of life-never
make their continuous use condition OF
cure. and are adapted to even the most deli
cate organization: They act as kindly kindly on On
infirm old age. as on the vigorous and attn
letic system; exercising healthful effects

nerves and lymphatics-on the Blsod, Blie;

A Friend to Car Drivers.

Last Wednesday afternoon, says the
New York Times of late date, as car
was passing the Bowery Branch of the
Young Mems Christian Association, man
came out of the building with a pitcher
and mug in his hand, and jumping on the
front platform. before the driver could re-
cover from his surprise, had served him a
mag of hot coffee from the pitcher, and
held the car-brake for him while he drank.
The mug having been emptied, the man
retired as suddenly as he had come. These
pleasant little surprises were kept up that
afternoon and night, and again on Friday
morning and night, Saturday night, and
yesterday afternoon and night. DESTROYS
of clearing the mystery of these gifts, and
of learning, if possible, the name of this
unknown benetactor, a Times reporter
called yesterday evening upon Mr.. John
Doolv, the General Secretary of the Bow
cry Branch Young Mems Christian Asso-
citation from whom the following facts were
obtained: Last Tuesday gentleman of
means, himself quite uncomfortable from
the cold, noticed the extreme suffering TO
which the car drivers were exposed by their
unsheltered position. Actuated by hu-
name desire 10 alleviate. as far as possible,
this suffering, and having previous knowl-
eQge OF the laCiielce Vi OhO \ UHnS
Christian Association, he called upon Mr..
Doolv and made arrangements with him
that the Young Mems Christian Associa-
ton should, at his expense, provide the
car drivers with hot coffee as they passed
the building on their different routes. Mr..
Dooly also stated that up to last night the
has distributed about l,2UO
mugs of coffee to drivers upon the First,
Second, Third, Fourth and Lexington
Avenue cars, and the Grand Street Cross
Line, and said that, according TO agree
menf. he was to make detailed statement
Of the progress of the work to the un-
known gentleman to-day. Upon second
inquiry as to who this unknown friend
might be. Mr.. Dooly stated that he was
Christian gentleman, who did the
work from motives of pure charity, and
who did not desire his name made public.

The Pope on Infallibility.

Recently, the Pope delivered an address
TO the " Academy of the Catholic Relig-
ion.' the text of which has been repub-
lished by the Journal, of Florence. In the
course of it, the Holy Father made the
following remarks on the question of in
fallibility: "Among the different sub
jects which you will have to treat there is
one which seems to me of special impOr-
lance, and that is to bring to nothing the
efforts that are being made to falsify the
idea of POntifical infallihility. OF all these
efforts that which seems The fullest of
malice consists in attributing TO the infal-
libility of the Pope the right of deposing
sovercigns and of absolving subjects from
their allegiance. Without doubt, this
right has sometimes been exercised by the
POpes in their supreme struggles, but it
never had any thing in common with
their infallibility, and its source was not
in infailibility, but in the pontifical au-
thority. Moreover, the exercise of the
right in the ages of faith-when men
recognized in the Pope, what he really
is, the supreme judge of Christendom,
and acknowledged the advantage of his
tribunal for the solution of great ques-
tons arising between people and their
sovereigns-the exercise of that right

been by public Inv and the general agree
ment of the nationalities, to the gravest
interests of the States and their chiefs.
The conditions Of the present day are
greatly changed, and only malice can con-
found two things so different; fnfallibiliiy
in regard to revealed principles, and the
right which the Popes exercised in virtue
of their authority when then the welfare
of society demanded it. Our enemies
know this as well as we, and tits easy TO
see why they call up this confusion of
ideas and put forward hypothesis in which
nobody believes. They invent these pre-
texts in order to afflict us and to excite
Princes against the Church. There are
