A Pennsylvania paper relates the
following: " A week OF two since =
gentleman who resides in this vicinity
went to Philadelphia and put up at 4
hotel, and, while resting after tea in the
reception room, overheard two gentle-
men conversing in regard to j trial
then in progress before one Of the
courts of that city. Our neighbor
learned from this conversation that q
man had obtained money upon his
wife's property, the wife giving mort
gage. The money was spent in dissi-
patton, the wife became rayinp
maniac, and was confined in the asy.
ium, where she now is; the husband
died, and the children Of this nnfort,,-
nate couple were furnished with a guar

that the wife was not Of legal age when

Horrible discovery in Paris.

While angling for refuse IN the Seine,
in Paris, recently, yagrant felt an un-
usual weight encumbering his line. He
took steps to pull out of the water what
he expected would prove valuable
find, when, to his surprise, he discover
ed it to be trunk Of q young woman,
the hands Of which were tightly tied to-
gether with q cord. The body presented
marks Of having been cut open with q
hatchet. Horrified at the unwelcome
sight, the poor man ran for the Com.
missaryo of the district, who immediate
" telegraphed for NJ. Jacob, Chief of
the Police. The latter had the river
dragged, with the result Of finding the
legs and other parts Of the corpse.
These, as was the case with the trunk,
were found wrapped in petticoat Of
printed cotton. As soon Al they were
collected, medical examination Was
made of the remains, and they proved
TO be thoseof q female Of about twenty
eight years Of age, who evidently be-
longed to the working clAss. From
their appearance they could not have
been IN the water above tzo or three
days. Crowds went to the Morgue,
where the murdered woman was placed
on view. No trace has yet been discov-
cred either Of identity or Of the perpe
traitor Of the crime. AZ

to speak, I" Not one word. 90.
And they went.

Not many months later two pictures
stood side BY side in the studio OF An
tonic Ferretri. One was the painting
for which Gigia had posed, but the face
Of Paris was no longer blank; it was
Cesare Ricasoli who knelt before Helen,
imploriAg her to fly with him. The
other picture represented Menelaus at
the moment when he discovered
his wife's treachery; the grief,
the. disappointment, the despair
OF every feature and every line
Of his figure was such that, gazing on it,
il was impossible to restrain the rising
tears. Every touch Of the brush upon
the canvas had been fraught with
agony; the artist had laid bare his own
soul in painting the picture, and be had
his reward. The companion paintings
had won him name; he was the first
artist Of the day. Gold and demands
for pictures poured in upon him daily;
he was courted and sought after by all;
royalty itself had done him honor; and
the world thought he had nothing to
desire. . IS, ,.s, II. ::
Yet, he sat one winter night by the
dying fire. with no proud, triumphant
bearing; no exultant CLEAN in his eyes,
nolook such as one would expect Fame's
darling to wear. He had sunk back in
the cushions Of his chair, his fingers
were tightly interlocked, his eyes sad
weary, as he thought to himself:
" Mother, thou vert true prophet.
Fame has come-ay, and more than !
ever, even in my widest dreams, dared
hope for; wealth I have in abundance;
but friend and betrothed are gone, and
I am alone. "'--E,1glish Magazine.

BESIDE The SEA.
BY NARY A1NoE DEyEaE.

M Z iAA&NoAS tA<As AsAsAss
Beside the sea one summer day
Three merry children were at play.
The great warm sun was sinking low,
The waves were beating to and fro, ].
And silvery she'll and pebbles white
Lay glittering in the rosy light.
Around the rocks, like ribbons hung,
The pretty fringing ses.moss cluog.
And green sea grasses gently swayed
With every throb the ripples made;
And like a snow-field, smooth and wide,
The beach sloped down 10 meet the tide.
All me, that hour was passing sweet
Afar from town or Gro Nded street,
To look across the oceans space,
And feel the rough wind on my face,
To hear the ripple's measured song
The children's voices fresh and strong,
Half drowning on the eager breeze
The old, old music of the seas
O merry hearts O voices glad!
The sad sea is no longer sad.
A charm is lent to rock and wave
More fair than Nature ever gave,
The while your joyance echoes so,
And light your footsteps come and 60.
Dear happy hearted children three,
At play beside the summer sea

Remarkable Aztec Plains in Arizona.
s -& From the Denver News.

A correspondent at the White Noun.
tain Agency, Arizona, describes the
trace of ancient ruins in that neighbor.
hood: IT examined some ancient ruins
less than to miles from the military
post, up the east branch from the
White river. The main buildings are
of sandstone, the Lodges of which are
found in the bluffs, about mile dis.
tant. The outlying buildings were, no
doubt, constructed of wood or adobe,
on stone foundations; but the debris Of
the main building, which covers about
two acres of ground to an average
height of about six feet, would indicate
that they were entirely of stone. The
form. Of the building was nearly square,
and set due north and south. Some of
the outlying buildingings were circular,
being the first of that form of that
form I have discovered among ancient
ruins. No explorations have yet been
made at that point, but some four
miles below and north of White river
and examination was made and q few
flint arrow-heads obtained, being the
first indications I have yet heard of
anything of a warlike character taken
from any of the ruins in the Territory.
Owing to the little interest heretofore
taken in the subject, scarcely anything
Of a definite character has yet been ob-
tanned of the long extinct and forgotten
race, who in their day must have been
great nation. Of one thing / am as
sured: they were an agricultural peo-
pie, numerous and peaceable. All
their ruins yet examined by me are
along water-courses where there are
rich farming lands; or on great plains
where water could be taken from the
rivers for irrigation, and the remains
of their irrigating bitches can yet be
traced for scores of miles where cut
through stone or hard ground.

POUphkeensje PresS

Among the many singular bantering,
bettings, wagers, or by whatever name
they may be termed, is the following.
made by two frolicsome lasses of Ian
singburg, Rensselaer, County. When
we tell this story, it is with no inten-
ton OF rejecting upon the character of
either Of these willful maidens, who, in
a spirit of fun, while heated with a dis
cussion Of the chances of their various
favorites lone of them being an ad-
mirer Of Hayes and the other devot-
ed adherent of Tilden and reform has
made very foolish and somewhat
unmaidenly resolution, for the charac-
tiers of both are above reproach.
and when the language was used
neither expected to be called upon to
perform the task. One Of them whom
we will call Jane, to more strongly ex-
press the doubt Of Tilden's election,
said that if he was elected President
she would walk from her residence to
the Rensselaer, Park gate clad only in
her chemise. The banter was taken
Immediately by her fair opponent, who
promised to perform the feat il case Of
the final success of Hayes. And now
the fair pair have pledged themselves
to the faithful performance of this re-
markable achievement, and they are
anxiously awaiting the result, that
they may know which of the pair will
be called upon to pay forfeit. Boys
need not watch for the event to come
of, as the loser will choose her own
time, which will, Of course, be in the
hours of night when least expected.
No one is to know when the event
transpires, except the two girls, and we
can tell nothing more at present save
that the distance to be travelled by the
loser is quite considerable.
