CURIOUS RESULT or PIT OF JEALOUSY.
Several months ago MFR. Harry GwInnet took
ballet company from this city to the West In
dies, where the venture was an unsuccessful
one. His wife remained in the city taking part
in the ballet at the Eagle Theatre Sometime
after his departure his wife received
information that led her to suspect that Harry
was not faithful to hts marriage VOWS. The
brevity of his letters to her confirmed this in
formation in her Judgment, and she resolved "
rcjofn him at once ut Dcmcrara. Last week sho
took passage on sailing vessel boUnd to that
port: She started hence On Tuesday week, aud
on Monday last barkantine arrived here On
which the suspected husband wns passenger.
Of course the jealous woman will have warm
time t'nding her husband in the West Indies,
but just where the pursuit will terminate is .
matter 81 doubt and uncertainty. The husband
meanwhile will remain In New York awaiting
her return.

So Near and Yet So Far.

Not many months ago, in India, a gentle1-an and wife having taken pas sage for England went on board with their baggage. Presently the husband discovered that there was time for him to go ashore and see man. He went. and when it occurred to him that it was time to go on board again, he hailed 8 boatman and ere long found himself on board large passenger ship. It was night. A sleepy steward inquired the number of his cabin, which he chanced to remember, as also that his was the upper berth: so he contrived to chamber into it without disturbing his wife, as he supposed, who slept beneath. But when dawn broke, and the ship was well on her way, feminine voice was heard ,lrieking, in tone of terror: "Stew- ard, steward there's man in my cabin l" The wretched man was aroused, and the situation explained to him. He had mistaken the ship. They were un- der way for Australia, and his unhappy wife was steaming away to England un- der a firm conviction that he had been robbed and murdered by rufians who frequent the quays. When he at length arrived in Australia, he could net even there relieve her mind, as the cable con- meeting that country with Europe was not completed, so that about four months passed before she heard anything of him

Facts are Stubborn Things.

Thousands of humane beings are yearly borne on the swift current of disease, down to the grave, justbecause they do notspossess 8 sufi- cient knowledge of themselves. A man meets his neighbor, and his first salutation is : " How are you ?" or How is your health P The reply frequently is: '' Oh, am well, with the exception of 8 cold" Most persons lightly regard 8 cold. Reader, do you know that 8 cold is one of the most dangerous of maladies? A cold not only clogs up the pores of the entire system, and retards circulation, but it is pro- ductive of catarrh, which is quite apt to lead to consumption. "Oh, you say, 'ft is nothing but cold in my head True but that cold is really 8 mild form of catarrh, and if not ar- rested in it's course will become chronic. Catarrh is one of the most disagreeable, offen- sive affections in the catalogue of diseases. The passage to the nose is obstructed, the agreeable sensation of pressure in the head. charge having an offensive odor. If the dis ease be allowed to continue in it's course, thick, hard incrustations will form in the head, the bones of which sometimes become soft ened and break away in pieces. Why will per sons continue to suffer from such an annoying, disgusting disease, when they can just as well be cured of it ? Dr. Sage's Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms of catarrh in fact, it is the only sure and safe remedy which has yet been offered Go the public. Many harsh, irritating preparations may, for time, relieve the urgency of the symptoms, but they do not cure the disease. Dr. Sages Catarrh Remedy is soothing and healing in it's effects, and, when used with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, according to directions, does not fail to effect 8 cure. Sold by all druggists.-Co1n.

Cutting HOOppOles.

I heard man say, not long since: st He got it all cutting and backing hoop polesl"
 This man was speaking of younger man who was in the act of drawing two thousand dollars from savings bank. I asked the speaker to explain, and he did so. "You see that young man" he said. "I have known him from his childhood up. His parents were of the poorest of the poor. His first school books were old ones given to him. His next he bought with money earned by cutting hooppoles. The owner of large coopering establishment agreed to pur- chase of him all the hooppoles he would bring, and from the owners of an exten- sive wild of swamp and tangled forest, not far from his home, he obtained per mission to cut as many cane-liks sap lings as he pleased. In the mornings, and in the evenings, and during vacation times from school, he worked bravely in the forest, cutting and shaping the poles, and carrying them upon his back to the cooper's. His first earnings, after he had bought his books, were deposit ed in the savings bank. He was then ten years old. In five years he had gained thousand dollars. Then he went at work for farmer at fair wages, leaving his little capital in the bank, and occasionally adding to it. To-day he is married, and owns an excellent farm in western Massachusetts, and the two thousand dollars which he has just drawn will make his last payment on the farm and the stock, and make him an independent man. And, you may say-he got it all in cutting and backing hOonnolea :"

A Western Romance.

The Keokuk Consultation says: Not long ago there lived in Indianapolis, Ind, man and wife who seemed to be happy, until the wife discovered that the husband was false to her. Then she took her babe and what few effects she possessed and left-was out on the world, and compelled to earn living. She was we'll educated woman, and could converse in three different lan- guages; was refined, and had all the airs of woman who had the entrance to good society. From place to place she travelled, seeking some employment whereby bread might be earned for her baby and herself. Chance brought her to Keokuk, and we suppose being dis heartened and unable to obtain other employment, she accepted Q situation as a servant in boarding house, and is now working there in this capacity.

When he beats at the game she loses her temper and declares she will not play again: It vexes him to have her act so, but he controls the irritation and talks to her about it. < He tells her how wrong it is for people at their age in life to be disturbed by such trifes, and shows her so clearly the folly of such course that she becomes ashamed of her weakness and returns to the game and plays it so we'll that she beats him. Then he throws the checkers in one di- rection and kicks the board in another, and says he will never play with any body who cheats so allfiredly, and stalks moodily to bed and leaves her to pick up the things.
