The FOrgetful Man.

His wife sent him uptown for
"sumthin' or ruther" early in the
evening. On the way he met friend
and they spent a half-hour in an ami
mated dispute as to whether Hayes or
Tilden had the best chances for an
election, and, when he left his friend.
he had entirely forgotten what Maria
had sent him after. 1t was in vain
that he tried to think up his forgotten
errand. For three long, weary hours
he wandered around, from saloon to
saloon, seeking to stimulate his ure-
liable brain and prick up his memory.
Twas no use. The more he stimulated
the more he didn't remember. He
hated TO 60 home and acknowledge as
much to his wife, and so he just
dropped in on his friends to gather
their sympathy. After he had man
aged to scrape considerable Of the ar
ticle together, and just as the chimes
of st. Xavier Church were Ginning the

opened a dispatch and remarked that

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 10.
On account of the rain the closing cere-
monies of the Centennial Exhibition, in
stead of being held outdoors, took place
inside of Judges Hall, which was filled
with an audience of many thousands.
Among the occupants of the platform
were President Grant, Secretary Fish,
Gov. Hartranft, Gov. Rice, of Massachu-
sets, Chief Justice Waite and several for
eign Ministers. After music by Theo-
dore Thomas band, addresses were de-
livered by D. ]. Morreu, the United
States Centennial Commissioner from
Pennsylvania; John Welch, the President
of the Centennial Board of Finance. and
Director Gen Goshorn. Gen. Hawley
then spoke NJ follows
The Exhibition has given us better com
prehension OF our position and progress.
We expected and hoped to be taught our
shortcomings in some respects, and We shall
profit by the lessons. And yet / gathered
from my countrymen the general impression
that they are not a little pleased to see how
well our rotuctions in many departments
have borne the comparison to which they
have been subjected. Unquestionably, in
teruational trade and commerce will be pro-
noted; our manufacturers, mechanics and
art SITS will show by their work that they
have been close studcn of the admirable
exhibits from abroad, and have taken ad-
vantage thereof.
The Commission thanks the city of Phila-
delphia, the State of Pennsylvania, the Ma
tional Government, and especially you, sir,
our houored President. 1t thanks the For
cign Commissioners, one and all, most
heartily. IL thanks the exhibitors, of al
nations. 1t thanks the American people,
whose conduct here has commanded un-
broken respect Ii thanks warmly its asso-
ciate corporal on. the Board of Finance,
Above all, ii revefently Acknowledges the
kind favor of Heaven, which has SO smiled
upon us that. while We turn somewhat sadly
from these scenes of great labor and srt alter
pleasure, all who have been associated here
NAV feel that they have done something to
ward adya1cin the world to the better day
coming. GOD be praised fol the past. God
send us all, individuals and nations, happy
future.
The original flag of the American
Union, first displayed by Commodore
Paul Jones on the Bon Homme Richard
was then unfurled, while a salute Of forty
seven gums, one for each State and Terri
tory, was fred from Georges Hill by the
keystone Battery. and simultaneously
from the United States steamship Plym-
outh.
President Grant then said;
Mr. President and Gentlemen: now de-
clare the Centennial International EXhibi-
tion closed.
The doXology was then sung and the
crowd dispersed.

Married, and Within q Week Insane.

Ole of the saddest records we have
ever made in these columns, says a
Colorado paper, is the following : Some
time since gentleman from this county,
who is one of our most prominent bust
ness men, was united in marriage with a
charming and accomplished young lady
from one of the cities of the bay. The
couple went to San Jose to spend few
days of that usually blssful period, the
first of married life. The union took
place on Sunday, and very early Thurs
day morning the bridegroom was
awakei. ed by hearing the young bride at
prayers. Suddenly her praying was
changed to singing, and this was follow
ed by loud laughter, until the awful fear
took hold of the gentleman's mind that
bis beloved wife had lost her reason.
Thinking that change and the quiet OF
a country home would be beneficial, the
couple started at once for home. The
lady's malady grew steadily worse dur,
ing the Journey, and no benefit was de-
rived at their new home, and few days
since it vas found necessary to take her
back to her parental associations in the
hopes that mothers care would prove
the panacea. Tho spectacle as the party
passed down the road was one of the
most pitiful and saddest that could be
imagined. The bride of q week had be-
como raying maniao, wild and violent,
requiring the strength of several persons
to hold her. Her husbands grief was
terrible beyond expression.

James Gordon Benefits Daughter.

The retirement of Miss Jeanette Ben
nett, daughter of the late James Gordon
Bennett, of the New York Herald, to q
convent, has been closely discussed
with a view of learning whether it
could be explained by any special disap-
pointment. There is. however, says q
New York correspondent, not the
slightest probability of this character.
The fact is that of the two children OF
the once famous editor, the son bears a
strong resemblance to bis mother, and
the daughter is very much like her
father. I do not refer so much to the
features as to the character. It is evi-
dent that the dashing, sporting, drlv-
ing, yachting proprietor of the Herald
shows little LIKENESS to his father, who
never drove horse, and never was on a
yacht, and had no care for those active
sports in which his son delights.
The senior Bennett was very pecu-
liar man, and was little understood out.
sido of his own editorial rooms. Not
withstanding the boldness OF his col
umns, he was very timid, and was con-
stitutionally SHY of the public. he
never attended any festal occasion, and
never made a speech, even in reply to a
toast, for he avoided all such occasions.
AS m editor, he kept himself in his
little Office. he rarely appeared IN the
street, coming and going in his carriage,
and never went to church. His only
place of public resort was the theater.
In later years he abandoned this habit,
and became q very close recluse. This
was a natural tendency which his daugh-
ter has Inherited. Were she forced by
circumstances to battle with the world,
rs her father did, there can be no doubt
of her success, but being left to pursue
her own inclinations, she INDUCES her
natural love of retirement. Young Ben
nett, however, inherits from his mother
q love of society.

A Poor Girl's Devotion

Yesterday morning they pulled poor
Kate Ledford out of the waters of the
Kaw, says the Kansas City Times. II
was evident at first sight that the de-
ceased had made determined effort to
die, tor the water was shallow, so shall
low that the suicide had not depth suf
ficient to sink in. She died from grief,
and her story of trouble deserves more
than the ordinary notice. Katie Dono,
van was the only daughter of poor but
hard working farmer near Muncie sta
ton, few miles west of Kansas City, on
the Kansas Pacific railroad. Katie did
not agree well with her stepmother, and
left home about two years ago and came
to Kansas City to work for herself. In
due time she met, loved and married O
brakeman named Edward Ledford, who
was employed on the Missouri Pacific
railroad. Soon after marriage Ledford
was arrested with others for an alleged
theft Of goods from railroad train.
Ledford was sent to Jail in Lawrence,
where he aided and assisted Bud
McDaniels, the Muncie train robber, to
make his escape. McDan:eis was killed
in the pursuit and Ledford escaped.
His wife, then only seventeen years of
aga and devotedly attached to her hus.
band, took his disgrace much tosheart'
She went to work for living, and
while she could reach her hns aud sent
all her earnings to him in jail. She at
all times appeared grief-stricken and sad
on account of her husl and. She con-
tinued to work, sad, disconsolate aud
often sick with grief. One morning she
left her place of employment after
dressing herself in her best calico
dress. 1t was her sbroud. She said
she was sick, and was going home.
She bade her benefactors farewell, but
instead of going down to Muncie, she
went out and paid one or two little tri.
fling debts for sewing. Then she went
to the Kansas river, and selecting a
shallow place, in the cool of the eve
ming, laid herself down III the water and
died. Poor girl. Hers was brief his
tory-raised in the Kaw bottoms, step
mother, no schooling, no friends, early
marriage to q worthless scoundrel, and
tragic close to life which to her
seemed all sadness; all barren of beauty
or sunshine.
