A Mighty Hunter,

Among the departures for Europe late
~ was Sir George Gore, an old English
baronet and bachelor. He is an ex-
tensive traveller and a "mighty hunter
in the land" He is possessed of con-
81 1erable wealth, and although now
about sixty years Of age, looks in his
full vigor. He delights in the chase,
and spends his years in hunting and
fishing all the world over. For months
past he has been camping out through
Texas and other States, and the ring of
his rifle and yelp of his hounds have en-
livened the solitary places where he de-
lights to roam. His baggage, when
weighed by the Inman officers, by
which line he sailed, footed up over
thirty tons, while his live stock number
ed thirteen, all dogs. What the bag
gage consists of would take too much
space to tell, but it comprised every
curiosity from buffalo's head to a
mastodon's skeleton. It is not known
what he intends doing with the collec-
ton, or what the duty will amount to
for the British government.

Bars to Marriage.

Of the seventeen relatives which O
man is prohibited from marrying in
Massachusetts,, eight are merely rela-
tives in law, as stepmother, grandfath-
er's wife, sons wife, grandson's wife,
wife's mother, wife's grandmother,
wife's daughter, and wife's granddaugh-
ter. There is no prohibition to mans
marrying the wife of somebody's else
dead grandfather, or grandmother of
somebody else's wife. A young mans
grandfather of four-score years or there
abouts, might marry the very girl of
twenty for whom the younger man cher
ished passion. There is nothing in
the law to prevent such proceeding on
the part OF the old man. But, as the
Boston Globe tells us, "if he dies next
day, leaving his youthful bride in want
or in a fat fortune, his lovesick grand
son must smother his passion as he may,
and let concealment like worm i the
bud feed on his damask cheek, or he
must immigrate from Massachusetts with
the girl of his affections.
So, too, lonely widower may cast
about for proper companion for the
remnant of his days, to so]ace him in
his hours of ease and to be ministering
angel, and the mistress of his we'll.
home and mother to his
bereaved children. He may find in
some comedy widow or mature maiden
of forty just the person for his pun pose;
he may come to cherish for her very
warm regard. But before he has com
pleted the siege handsome and capti-
waiting son may carry off the prize; and
on his wedding trip the young man may
get smashed up on a railroad and leave
the sorrowing bride doubly widow and
more than ever in need of the comfort
which her more mature lover has to
offer. And Massachusetts law steps be-
tween them and that rash marriage of
the giddy youth, which he would doubt
less have repented at his leisure if had
had lived, forms an impossible barrier
between two hearts that beat as one and
ought to be duly joined.-Erchange.

An Unfortunate Wife.

"An overburdened wife" in Brook
Ign, N. Y, tells in the newspapers the
following sad story: am poor, mis-
am married to lazy loafer, who has not
earn d 5000 since November, 1869. 1
have made hats and worked on the sew
ing machine ever since 1869, to support
him and his children. If l got all the
work could do, it would barely sup
port me and the family; but kind neigh.
bors help me once in while. As it is,
am compelled through the day to give
some attention to the house and the
children, and thereby compelled to
work until twelve and one o'clock at
night.
My husband often compels me to buy
boots, pants, ETC., for him, and has even
taken the last cent out of the house to
attend cock fights. He attends political
meetings, and frequently makes speeches
about honesty, reform, fidelity to party,
etc. The cigars he smokes at those
meetings are paid for out of my hard
earnings. He confronted lady GUS
toner of mine, in my presence, and
borrowed money from her one day,
which had to pay back IN Work. lie
went to the country to visit a relative
with this money to pay his fare, and the
day after I was laid on my back sick,
without any food in the house for the
children, or medicine for myself, and
we should have certainly died of starva-
ton had it not been for kind, neigh.
borly woman.
He is politician, cock fighter and
corner loafer, and I imagine every one
must know him. If any other woman
has got such husband as this, I hope
she will lay her case before the public
through the papers in order to create
public sentiment against the able bodied
men whose wives support them, so that
their presence will not be tolerated, not
even at public meetings, cock fights, or
elsewhere.

A Mothers Sad Story.

The sad condition of the poor is shown
by the story told by two women arrested
in Brooklyn for shoplifting. They were
mother and daughter. Both were fine
looking, intelligent, and refined. The
mother told a touching story of downfall
from prosperity. She said that her hus-
band was compelle to go to Canada to
search for work, and thus she was left to
struggle alone. Then her son, who was
a photographer in New York, was wound
ed in the hand while at work at his ma
chine, aud the expense of medical at
tendance, $43, she was unable to meet.
She was sued by the physician, who re-
covered judgment with costs. In
desperation, fearing that her furni-
ture might be attached, she took roll
of silk from a store, and emboldened by
success she was tempted to repeat the
crime. The daughter is only twenty
wears old,

Sentenced to Death,

The news that Carl Vogt, about whose
extradition for murder such to-do was
had in the United States, has been SEN
fenced to death, revives the story of the
long chase after him in its full force.
The real name of the fellow was Stumpf,
and he was charged with participation
in the murder of LIE Chevalier du Bots
Bianco, in Brussels, in October, 1871.
In March. 1872, he was arrested. After
a long course of Judicial argument, pend
ing which the accused lay in the Tombs
in New York, the question of his extra
dition came up before the United States
commissioner in April, 1873. Although
his extradition was resolved on the dis
trict attorney refused to concur, but the
Belgian claim for his surrender in 1874
was granted. In March, 1876, writ of
certiorari was granted for him, but dis
charged, and Vogt was taken over to
Antwerp on the Red Star steamer Switz-
erland. When he arrived in Brussels
large number of the murdered Cheva-
lier's bonds were found in his possess
sion. By the time his case is finally de-
cided it will have dragged its slow
length along for fully five years.

English Buildings.

The most interesting and by far the
most conspicuous and costly buildings
erected by any foreign government on
the Centennial grounds, says CORE
spondent, are those belonging to Great
Britain. OF the three edifices the largest
and most highly finished contains o
grand suite of reception rooms, where
the representatives of "merrie Eng
land" hope to entertain their guests,
and also numerous snug offices for the
commissioners of the different colonies
and dominions. The next in size is for
the police force to be employed in guard
ing the articles in the exhibition, and
the third for the menials and employees,
and for bakery, kitchen, and laundry.

Unsuitable Homicide.

The jury who tried Finnen for shoot
ing and killing O'Baldwin, the Irish
Giant, returned a verdict of justifaple
homicide, and the court said that under
the same circumstances he might have
acted in the same manner as the pris-
oner did. He, therefore, granted the
motion for the prisoners discharge,
hoping that the recollections of this
trial would be warning to him and
others, that justice in time would surely
overtake and punish the lawless and the
eyil-doer.

Coughing.

The best method of easing cough is
to resist it with all the force of will pos
sible, until accumulation of phlegm be-
comes greater; then there is something
to cough against, and it comes up very
much easier and with half the coughing.
A great deal of hacking and hemming
and coughing in invalids is purely nerv-
Gus, or the result of mere habit, as
is shown by the frequency with which it
occurs while the patient is thinking
about it, and its comparative rarity
when he is 30 much engaged that there
is no time to think, or when the atten-
ton is impelled in another direction.
