Love and LucYe.

Miss Ross is thirty-one years old, and
lives In Chicago. Either of these facts is
sufficient in the minds of some evil-dis-
posed persons to debar any wish for
further acquaintance. But Miss Ross
has not lived long enough In that city of
palaces and dens to have her maiden
purity tainted, and Ninon de PEnclos
was far older than thirty-one when she
brought princes to her feet by the spell
formerly basked in the ripening suns of
the Pacific coast. There she met
Fancher. Fancher was man. He was
a man of good figure, good eye, and a
good 100000. He at once won the
young affections of Miss Ross, and the
lady had every reason TO believe that she
had complete sway over the love of
Fancher. They decided to bind them
selves still more closely together by
the holy ties of wedlock. Fancher said
lovingly to Ross: IS Ross, come feast
with me /; come to the great city of Chi
cago, and You shall be my wife. and
shall be your husband forever and we
shall live in a brown-stone, and have
silver, and servants. and horses, and per-
feet happiness. ;" Confiding Ross She
should have known better than to trust a
man, especially Fancher, a gay old de-
ceiver. They came to Chicago. Fancher
refused to marry the too trIlsty damsel,
and she applied balm TO her wounded af-
fections by instituting suit for breach
of promise. The suit has been in the
Chicago courts for months, and finally,
after innumerable qrlips, and qulirks, and
verdicts, and appeals, and new trials
enough to discourage any heart but that
of an orphan of thirty-one, a final decision
was reached a few days ago, which re-
dollars. Both parties are to be congrat-
ulated- -Fancher that he escaped matri-
mony SO cheaply, Ross that she got what
she really deserved, in view of that trip
from the Pacific coast to Chicago.

when People Thlnk Of suic,ae.

The influence of age upon suicide is
study OF more than speculative interest
on account of its practical bearings, and
of the ease and precision with which it
can be demonstrated. BY age ia meant
the critical periods of life. These peri
dds having many components besides
the mere fact of years, it is apparent
that what we have to examine is o many
sided phenomenon, including together
with it the advance in life, the workings
of physiological, mental, and socioloQical
co1ses. It has been lately examined by
DIR. ODea, and it appears that the maxi
mum of suicides of both sexes occurs be-
the ages of Is and IS. Previously to the
25th year there is q sudden increase from
2 suicides between the ages of and 10
to 1876 between 20 and IS. After 66 the
tendency to suicides declines, but more
gradually than it rose, except to 65,
where the number increases from 81 to
S3-a rise so slight, however, as to be
little worth considering.
There are, therefore, three suicidal
periods in life: those of organic and
mental growth, of organic and mental
decline. In the first the chart shows 80
in the second, $40, and in the third, 311.
Comparing the periods in round num-
bers, it may be said TINT they are as /
for childhood and adolescence to IL for
adult life, and to for the years of bodily
and mental decay.
The influence of sex and it's attendant
circumstances upon suicides at the differ
ent periods of life is shown upon the
charts. With females, as among males,
there is sudden and abrupt. rise until
the 25th year is reached This rise is
continued to the 35th year, at which the
e \
! women. The period from the 25th to
the 35th year corresponds to that of the
greatest pressure from domestic troubles
and responsibilities, and also with the
greatest activity of the maternal func-
6ons. The line thence descends abrupt
| ly to the 45th year, whence it rises to
| the 50th, the critical period of mature
| female life, and then goes down. down.
until it reaches the level from which il
started.
There are, therefore, two eliminating
points, and while the line on the male
chart is undulating and sustained, that
on the female chart is vertical and
/ abrupt. The lower of the male culmi-
mating points Is the higher of the female,
| and, contrariwise, the lower of the fe-
male is the higher of the male. These
charts do not show the relative fire.
quency of suicides among the two sexes
The ratio of suicides to population IL
the United States is (for the period Gov
cred by the last decennial census) 25 tc
LOG, 900 among males, and to loo, ,00(
among females. The only periods a
which suicides are nearly equal for both
sexes Is from Is to 20 years, during
which the number of boy suicides wal
81, of girl suicides 80. After this tht
number of suicides among males is mucl
greater than among females.

room at Grayson's hotel, when q servant
entered, with letter.
Surely Grayson knew that delicate

Basn French, too, saw the ring, and,
Tor once, his face played him false. The
smlle and color both forsook his lip and
cheek, and Capt. Grayson, looking up
from the few words of the letter, read
convicted treachery and deceit written in
every line of the face of him he had
thought his friend. He strobe to
Freneh's side, and grasped his shoulder
with fingers that felt like the grip of
steel.
Where did you get this ring?" he
said. holding the ring before him. Did
you give Virginia Lawton the letter I
sent her?'
French tried to rally but he did not
know how much, or whether any, of his
falsehoods Virginia had exposed and he
only managed to say, with rather poor
show of calmness, Why, I picked it
up, to be sure, Charley; you know I
never let anything slip through my

Grayson, for believe you are atreach-

the room.

He looked at him, and went without a
word.

at the door was followed by the foot

gentleman wished to see her.
! Genie went down istlessly. Probably
somebody on business for Genie's father
was too feeble to bear much, and 80 any
/ thing of that kind fell on her.

walked q step or two forward, as if in 8

taking both her hands, turned her full
towards the light, 80 that he might lool
down into her face.
"Virginia Lawton, - he said, "do yor

She trembled, blushed, and ended
with shower of tears, that Captain

Mountain Meadow Massacre Testi-
mony for Defense.

BEAVER, Utah, July 20.
Spicer occupied all the morning address
ing the jury for the defense. The theory
Of the defense is understood to be that the
emigrants, by their own misconduct at
Cora Creek, so exasperatcd the Indians
that they sent runners ahead, gathering
help from other tribes till at the Meadows
they numbered four or five hundred that
the whites did sell supplies 10 the emigrants
and treated them well that Lee had no
military or church office but was simply a
farmer to Indians that on the grounds he
tried to protect the emigran's and wept
when the massacre was proposed that not
Lee but William Batemen went with the
flag of truce, and afterwards Lee went to a
corral and staid two hours, believing the
treaty was bonafide that while in the
emigrants' corral ITaight, Higbee and
Klingen Smith were plotting to kill them
that what the whites did was done through
fear of death at The hands of the Indians,
who threatened that if they. didn't help
kill the emigrants they would kill them.
Samuel Pollock sworn-Ezra Curtis,
lieutenant of militia, called him out from
Cedar City to go to the meadows; was
told to save emigrants and bury the dead ;
took guns and spades lay in camp on the
sight of the emigrants saw no one but In
dams, who were shooting from various
points ; next morning Lee arrived, and
more men and more Indians flag of
truce went out and the emgrants messen-
ger met il saw emigrants come out soon
ahead of the men and walked with the
militia heard reports of guns but could
not then see them when l did see them
