open with a Ratchet. Her husband
evidently attacked her while she
was sleeping in her bed. He struck
her aaveral blows on the head and
blood and b.ains were spattered

s. tie that he and his wife had
agreed to die together, as they
were old and poverty stricken, and
he declares he had to commit the
act, as she would not kill herself,
though wishing to die.

Matrimonial Advice.

Our young women are cautioned
against marrying dissipated young
men, but with equal, If not great.
err propriety may not young men
be cautioned against marrying
Idle and extravagant young wo-
mel, or great many unhappy
marriages are the result of the lat
ter as well as ofthe fermer. Fool
lsh mothers think they act affec-
tionately by allowing their daugh-
ters in their fondness for the gid
dy pleasures oflife,and allow them
10 contract habits Of life. not sup
posing that they are thereby I'M
fitted for the stern realities Of life
which must surely overtake them.
Let them marry wealth or poverty
they will be unable to support
either condition. Let them re-
main single, and life will become
more and more burdensome as it
advances.

Virtuous Revenge.

on State street last Saturday, and
upon her answering the cali the
innocent remarked: "Please, ma
am, but / coined to tell you some
fellows are stealing your lilacs."
Somewhat like Tennyson's Maud
this information caused her into
the garden to go, where she sur
prised these felonious florists and
caused them to over the fence hur-
ry- In token OF her thankful
ness to the juvenile who informed,
a large bunch of the purple plumes
was presented, while he, on join

that same smile called childlike

says :--"Tne longer one puts of

Brother j 0natlian.' the Mis-
souri, Traveller.
Cumberland Nelrs, Mdu 30th.

Cumberland Ne,cs, Nay 30th.l
The leading sensation in Cum
berland yesterday was the great
Missouri traveller, en- route for the
Centennial.
On the 30th of October last, Mr..
j. G. Temple,a citizen Of Carthage,
Mo-, issued a circular to the min
ers of Joplin, Grinoco and sur
rounding mines, making propsi-
ton that if they would deliver
specimen ores of the best quality
to the Mayor of the city of Joplin.
he would take the same to the
CentC 1nial Exposition in a wheel
barrow. The proposition was ac-
copied and the specimens handed
in Mr.. Thomas Wilson, from Nal.
chester, England, agreed to &C.
company Mr.. Temple and whc
the baggage barrow. On the 2Sth
of February they started, accom-
panied by Mr.. Temp o's son Otto,
aged thirteen. After proceeding
go miles Mr.. Wilson became very
i'll, and was compelled to stop. -
He has since recovered, and is ex-
pected at Philadelphia, by rail-
road, about the time of Mr.. Tenn
ple's arrival there. The two men
before s, ..rting. assumed the titles
of"Brotber Jonathan" and "John
Bull"
Mr.. Temple has walked about
twelve hundred miles, averaging
twenty miles a day since starting.
He is man Of hearty, rugged APP
pearance, fifty-five years old, a na-
tive of Virginia. He has been a
resident Of Kansas, California and
Missouri for thirty years, and gen.
orally a farmer.
The wheelbarrow which he uses
is Of peculiar construction. The
bed is four feet long; front end six
teen inches broad; rear end thirty
inches; average Cepth twelve
incte The wheel, which is thirty
inc es ia diameter. is in the CEN
r. and the bed is on springs. The
barrow i. SO constructed that the
weight is on the wheel, and hav-
ing springs it runs easy.
The wheel of the barrow being
ninety inches makes 704 revolu-
tions to the mile. In 1900 miles
it has therefore made S4f,S00 rev.
olutions.
Mr.. Temple has about sixty
pounds of mineral specimens.
Brother 10 ,a,han" states that
his minerals and outfit lave been
looked at by 10000 people. When
he arrives at Philadelphia he will
have done somel ng thatno other
man has done, wheeled at least 30
pounds of superior mineral iro n
his own county, over 1000 mil, :,
to the Centennial exhibition. He
will probably remain at the expo
sition until its close, in November

EFFECTS ON THE LONDON MARKET
LONDON, May 80, 4p. mat the
Exchange to-day stocks opened
strong except Egyptians, which fell
heavily during the forenoon on I'M
favorable rumOrs from Paris, but
afterwards recovered, and are now
to higher than Yesterdays closing
prices. Turkish securities of all DE-
scripti0ns have been very strong and
active, and at one time were TO 5
higher they are now about three
higher all around. 1t seems to be
the opinion that the overthrow Of the
Sultan will result beneficially. The
Paris market is also very firm.
