KEEPING ENGAGEMENTS Miss Marie
Poirson, of Paris, has Just done q very
pretty thing. She had been betrothed
to the young Count de Foisant before
the war, in which, while serving in the
artillery, he had the misfortune to lose
both his legs. After that fatal shot at
Sedan, the Count must have thought
the chance Of his love keeEing her word
with him was but small; but she has
just done so. The marriage has taken
place. During the Indian mutiny
precisely similar misfortune .befell an
officer, who obtained the Victoria Cross
at the price of the loss of his lower
limbs; and in this instance also the girl
who had promised her love to him did
not withdraw it. Such loyalty can by
no means be reckoned upon in the other
sex; and often an attack Of smallpox or
otherilln is as fatal to mans fidelity
as to his loves good looks. The late
Duke Of Wellington took a very charac-
teristic middle course under circum-
stances of this kind. He was not senti-
mental nor chivalric, but he had a
strong sense of duty. When the wo-
man to whom he was engaged wrote to
say: "My beauty has gone, he replied.
from Spain: 81 am sorry for it; but
viii marry you still if you think proper
to hold me to my bargain" And she
did think proper. 1t Is scarcely neces-
sary to say that the marriage did not
prove a happy one. f

The letters ton Baltimose when opened
at the Office were completely saturated
with water, and had TO be spread out
to dry before they could be handled for
distribution.
A special mail agent was dispatched
from Washington after the accident.
The letters and newspapers were too
wet and pulpy for delivery at Washing
ton last night. The agent reports that
all the mail bags wers recovered, but
soms of the letter cases foated down
the canal. 1t is thought they will be
recovered at the. locks.
The train at the time of the collision
was running at the rate of from twenty
to twenty-five miles an hour. The en-
cineer no doubt made an effort to check
lis speed, but feeling secure because of
there being double track on the road,
and the short curve preventing his see
ing the danger before he had nearly or
quite reached it, there was little or no
time to avert the impending shock
The passengers on the train all concur
that they knew nothing of the danger
until it was over.
The water was drawn from the canal
from lock half mile below, and it
was not until this was done that the
body of engineer Shipley was reached.
He was found at his post, with his
hand on the ir-brake. He had a
wound over the right eye, and was pro-
baby otherwise injured in the head.
Physicians say he was probably seyerly
stunned aud drowned before he could
recover. He leaves wife in Balli-
more, but no children, and owned a
farm in Frederick county, Md.
AS TO where the blame for the acct
dent rests it will require an investiga-
ton 10y the company to positively
determine. Passengers, however, are
disposed to place it on the conductor OF
the first freight train of the convoy,
which they say stopped his train and
made no signal to the train following
him to stop also, which might have
averted the accident.
Mr.. J. L. Wilson, road master; Mr..
Shipley, master of machinery; Frank
Mantz, supervisor of trains, and Joseph
Tumey, travelling engineer, and other
officials of the road, repaired to the
scene of the accident and superintended
the removal of the wreck and relieving
the injured.

How TO Vanquish the stomach's
TOrmentor.

If the Enemy of mankind was permitted
to exert his diabolical ingenuity in the
invention of new disease, he could
scarcely devise one more worthy of his
genius than dyspepsia. The dyspeptic
sufferer is tormented by symptoms re-
scmbling those of almost every known
malady, and Is often worried into mono
mania by these conflicting and perpleX-
ing manifestations. \ favorite though
absurd hallucination of the victim of
chronic indigestion is that he or she has
heart disease. Dyspepsia has often been
pronounced incurable, but experience
has shown that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers will yanquish it, together with the
constipation and bilious arrangement
which usually accompany it. Diseases
of the kidneys and supposed rheumatic
pains are also frequent concomitants of
dyspepsia, but they, too, succumb to the
above named invaluable corrective.
