man and wife of middle age were
found lying on the floor of their
humble abode some fifteen miles
northeast from this city. They lay

each others necks. They were

mians. 1t is supposed they were

ly determined 20 end life's journey
at once. and it Is thought they took
poison, lay down on the floor, and,
locked in each others embrace, bid
farewell to time.

A MONTENEGRO LAMENTATION.

The Montenegrins bravely and with
success defended their country when Ii
was recently invaded by three Turkish
armies; but many were their dead, and
great was the sorrow Of the women OF
the land. The dirge of the women is a
remarkable one. It was while at Os-
frog, after severe battle on the from
tier, that a correspondent of the Lon
don Times first heard it.
A young man died in the hospital in
the night, whereupon his mother and
two sisters began to shrek forth their
grief. Their wild frenzy was horrible to
listen to. and at last the Montenegrin
Prince, who was sick sent soldier to
them with request that they should
cease their lamentations. They did so
put early in the day the body was taken
20 a cemetery close by, and as the
earth closed over it the outbreak
Degan again : the women scratch
ing their, faces, beating their
breasts, ana lamenting in shrill voices
Wnlcn could be heard miles away. The
in the least indicate the Intensity Of
sorrow; the wife, indeed, not being per
m1tted by custom to take part in this
show Of feeling, and the men consider.
ing it undlgnified to take any other than
accompanying the body on the ra.
turn to the house. There was some
thing in the lament which was interest
ing from a certain point of view. II
was metrical a short, eiaculatory.
three-feet verse, always repeated in the
same modulations-a monotonous chant.
The women on returning home will
consider it their duty to continue their
lament for weeks or months, when they
are journeyiDg from place to place, and
especially when in the presence of
Others. Solitude seems to extinguish
the lamentation, but il two relatives in
