A Curious Case.

A young lady in Reading, Pa, h s
just died, most injndiciously and in
discreetly, of fright, caused by mis-
understanding natural phenomenon
of the most consOlatory character.
She had her photograph taken, and
showed it to her mother, who exam
ined il and then said in German,
why, this picture has deaths head
on it," She pointed 10 the tie worn
about the lady's throat, and what
looked like a skull was distinctly
seen on the picture, aud it excited
some curiosity. No attention was
paid to this, and few days after
wards one of her photographs was
looked at again, and to their great
astonishment they discovered that the
figure, or what greatly resembled it,
of another skull had appeared just
above ii. This was also pointed out
to the young lady, and she became
deathly pale and took to her bed.
She slowly sank, and in two months
after she had her picture taken she
was corpse. Obviously these two
deaths heads meant that the young
lady would have two husbands and
survive them both. Instead Of which
she allowed her inexperienced moth
er to frighten her to death. The edu-
cation of young women in this coun-
try is not what il should be.

a dispatch from Lord Derby to the

sent OH the Sth inst, instructs hinr to
urge strongly on the Porte, the neces-
sity that its troops should be kept un-
der control in order that the unarmed
population be spared and that rep
etition of the outrages in Bulgaria
be avoided also, that the renewal of
such ioutragcs would prove more dis
astrous to the Porte, than the loss OF

would be uncomfortable and inter-
ference in sense hostile Ia Turkey
would inevitably follow.

PARIS. Aug. l0.-An article by John
Lemainne, to whom is intrusted the
supervision of English correspond
ence of the Jou,Ruf des Debdts, pub
lished in the Journal to-day, insists
upon the necessity of prompt inter-
vention to put a stop to the atrocities
of the Turks. He says it is for En-
gland to intervene, because England
being the avowed protectress of Tur-
key, is unanimously considered i'm
Europe to be responsible for the con-
duct of the Turks.
A special to lie Temps, from Vien-
ma, says the note which Ristics, the
Scrvian Premier, is preparing, to be
sent to the powers. giving an account
of the atrocities committed by the
Turks in Seryia, may serve equally
to pave the way for mediation or for
justifying war to the death.

WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Gen. Sher-
man says the proposition from the
agency Indians that cessation. OF
hostilties with Sitting Bull and his
adherents shall be arranged in the
interests of permanent peace, is ala
together out of the question. The
Indian tribe with which the govern-
ment is at war is not such nation as
to allow the establishment of any
negotiations of treaties of any char
actcr. No confidence can be placed
in their promises, while the reason
for not favoring the proposition il
that the request does not come from
the hostile tribes, and there is no
ground for believing there is desire
for peace. Gen. Sheridan's views on
the proposition have not yet been re-
ceived ut headquarters.

An Impartial Justice.
MAQuOk eta Excelsior.

We have justice in this county
whose strict impartiality we chal-
lenge the State to equal. On one oc-
casion there was brought before him
suit in which the plaintiff employed
no counsel. The evidence being
heard, and the attorney for the de-
fensc having mede his plea, the JUS
tice arose and remarked that it SEEM
ed to him right, proper and necessary
that something be said in behalf of
plaintiff, and as the plaintiff was rep
resented by no attorney, and there
being no one else present with quail
fications equal to the occasion, he
himself would argue that side of the
case. Accordingly he proceeded to
address the court with telling effect,
putting all the force and eloquence
of which he was master into the effort,
and only closed when exhausted and
out of breath. 1t is, perhaps, need
less to remark that the suit was de-
cidcd in favor of the plaintiff.

since New Years, but who is now
free once more. She is ali heiress i'm
small way. her father having snug
sum and owning considerable proper
ty in the Eighth Ward. Her suitors
have always been prosperous young
men, as she will not have any other
Wooers save those who can show
signs of capability and worldly
wealth. But she has an ambition to
be loved for herself alone. and puts
all her intended husbands to the test
in this wise: She takes an opportu-
nifty of confiding to them, with in
functions of perfect secrcsy, that her
father has lost great deal of money.
and has been obliged to mortgage
his dwelling house and furniture.
The latter, however, she represents.
is not mortgaged for more than one
halt its worth, so she asks. as favor.
that her intended advance sum oil
money on second chattle mortgage
The effect of the rusc. so far, has been
that each young man has promised to
advance the money and afterward
broken his promise and acted in such
a manner that the engagement is
broken also.-DetroH Nens.

Third District Republican. Conven-

Mr.. Blaine and others.
MIR. Blaine on making his appear

GENTLEMEN OF THE CONVENTION I
came here to day rather for the pur-
pose of shaking hands with old
friends and returning thanks for past
kindness than with any intention of
spcech-making. | congratulate YOU
sincerely and heartily on the unanim
ity with which you have selected your
candidates. 1t has been many years
since any contest has marred the har-
mony or impaired the efficiency of
the Republicans Of this district, and
| rejoice that this good feeling is to
be preserved and perpetuated. Since
the second election OF Mr.. Lincoln no
national contest has been more far
reaching in its consequences than that
now pending. The Democratic par
ty represent and embodv all that
there is in this country of disloyalty
and Reputation. 1 do not say that
every Democrat is disloyalist or a
repudiator, but it is patent to the
most careless observer that the con-
verse of this proposition is true. Mr..
1llden has the reputation among his
political friends in New York of be.
ing wary-not to say wiry-politi.
cal manager. lie has also the reputa.
ton of possessing large wealth and
being ready to use it to promote 20
litical ends. 1t is said that he ha.
marked the State of Maine as a 5000
field for the investment of his pol;ti.
cal funds, with the hope of reducing
our majority in September. Certain
well-known Democrats, who are now
in the itinerant list in this State. arc
said to be part of the mobolized ar.
ray of Tilden. Watch them. and fol.
low them, and counteract them. and
let them know the Republicans OF
Maine are not to be bought. but tina,

spare cash to keep his own troops in
line. and to prevent many of them
from passing over to the ranks Of the
Republicans, loyalty and national
good faith. Let ME conclude, gentle
men, by thanking you most heartily
for the overwhelming and almost
embarrassing cordialityof your recep-
ton. and by expressing the hope that,
as my health grows firmer, / shall
meet you again during this most i'm
portant campaign, and meet you al
ways withiwords of cheer and assllr-
ances of victory.
Mr.. Blaine was frequently inter-
rnptcd by storms of applause.
A series OF resolutions were then
adopted, and the following elected
unbounded enthusiasm:
Resolced, That the Republicans of
the Third District look back with
pride and satisfaction to the long,
eminent and influential services of
Hon. Jas. G. Blaine as their repre-
sentative: that they cordially tender
him their continuous confidence and
high regard in his new and impor-
tant sphere of official duty, and they
hereby pledge him the united and
hearty support of his old constituents
for his election by the next Legisla-
turc as United States Senator.
