How an Advertisement Mar
rage Turned Ont.

Five years ago Miss Mary Athers,
of Porterville, Pa, advertised in q
Boston paper for husband. Among
other responses to her advertisement
was one from John II. Johnston, of
Rutland, VT. A correspondence re-
suited from the advertisement, and
three months after the card was in
serted, in accordance with the request
of the person answering to that name,
she went to Rutland and was mar
ried to him. Miss Athers was the
daughter Of Cashier William II. Ath-
crs, of the Raftsmen's Bank, Of Por-
terville, and highly accomplished.
Her purpose was entirely unknown
to her parents. When she left home.
she said she was going to Boston to
vista friend. Four weeks after she
went away she returned home with
her new husband. Notwithstanding
the fact that her parents were grieved
at her freak, they accepted the situa-
tion, and, Johnston being q gentle
manly appearing man and a good
bookkeeper, his wife's father placed
him in the bank as an assistant. Re-
Gently lady with two children, both
under 8 years of age, appeared in
Porterville. She inquired for Mr..
Johnston, saying that she was his
wife, and that he was the father of
her children. Her story was not be-
lieved at first, but when Johnston ac-
knowledged that it was all true the
village was thrown into the most in.
tense excitement. Miss Athers, or,
she supposed she was, Mrs. Johnston,
went to drug store and called for q
quantity of arsenic. Being refused
the drug, she went home, and was
afterward found lying on the floor of
her room dead. She had shot her.
self through the heart with revolver
that Johnston kept in stand-draw-
er in the room they had occupied,
and Johnston has skipped out.

Bulldoxing in Texas.

We referred, last week, to the
case ofa christian missionary teacher
in Texas, who had been shot down
and permanently injured, warned 10
quit the country, his house burned
and everything that he possessed des-
troyed. We have since received an
other letter frem another part of the
state, under date of February 26, from
person whom we know to be trust
worthy. He writes:
"The rage of the misguided citizens
of Texas, has again broken out in
flames, kindled by the torch of the in
cendiary. This time it was at
"Grants Colony" in Walker county,
where, on Saturday night last, the Gun
reconstructed" visited the house of
Mr.. Sims, in his absence at church,
and set fire to his dwe.ling-house
which was entirely destroyed, and
Sims wife and four children burned
to death. This fearful atrocity has
caused universal horror among the
freedmen. Hayes is elected, and the
poor missionary in the south must
suffer from the vindictive malice Of
the Performers" This makes four
dwellings and seven colored school
houses destroyed by fire, within five
weeks. b."
Now it would, of course, be unfair
to judge Of all Texas by these out
breaks of 'bashi- -bazouk" atrocities,
as it might also be to judge Of all the
other southern states from Texas
But this is certain, the good people in
the south, who do not sympathizc
with the: spirit that prompts these
horrible cruelties, owe 1t 60 them
selves, and to the colored people
among them, and to the country, to
protest against such things in way
that cannot be mistaken, and with
an emphasis that will put stop to
them. 1t will not answer to ignore
them, or to deny them; the facts are
incontrovertible. Nor, in view Of the
existing state of things, is it the part
Of true craftsmanship to pirate pedant-
ically about the sRmMxns .jMs being q
summa injuria, when the justice re-
fers to the nations sovereign protec-
tion of its subjects. ts.-AdvGnce.

Life in the Black Hills.

A Deadwood correspondent, under
date of February 23d, writes to say
that the people out there are doing
what they can to sustain the reputa-
tion Of the camp as lively locality.
How they do it may be learned from
the following: "Last night one we.
man was choked nearly to death, q
woman of the town committed sui.
eide, and lady who is running q
hotel, grossly insulted. She armed
herself with q revolver and started
Mr.. Lawyer on a brisk race around
the hillsides. To-day the same man
had an ear bit off by man of whom
he had spoken disrespectfully. The
same night the Indians killed o
butcher from Montana named Nor
gan. lie was driving some cattle to
slaughter-pen few miles from this
place. A few days ago the red skins
ran of seventy-five head Of horses,
and wounded one man who was herd
ing them. He killed two Indians
after he was wounded. To-day they
have brought news from Spearfish
Valley that the Indians have cleaned
out the whole valley. This is getting
to be serious and rather too trouble
some. A meeting of the citizens was
held to-day for the purpose Of raising
troops to start after the Indians. The
United States troops are too slow for
the miners, who have their claims all
staked out and ready to work as soon
as spring opens"

A Lively Scene Ia q Railway Car.

a Lively scene IN q Na1lWaY Car.
As the Missouri Pacific train was
leaving Millcr's Landing, says the st.
Louis Republicda, Monday night,
gentleman came aboard carrying q
stick, to which was curiously attached
a hornets nest. He had found il in
the woods and it had the appearance
of being tenantless. But when
brought into the warm atmosphere of
the car and placed near the stove, the
heat soon awakened its dormant life,
and low, humming sound, from the
interior warned the embryo natural
ist and his companions in destined
misery that the sorrow was about to
begin. A frantic effort to throw the
nest out of the window released the
imprisoned insects, and the next in
stant they swarmed through the car,
each individual hornet armed with
fury and savagely bent on the war
path. They struck right and left, and
everywhere left in their trail cry of
agony. Women shrieked and men
vented curses loud and deep. But
the sorrow waxed apacc and the mis-
cry increased. People tumbled over
seats and grovelcd on the floor. One
fat old lady took recumbent position

the air, executed an evolution that
would have done credit to Soldene's

scattered in prOmiscuous confusion,
and shapely extremities were expos

Finally the doors and windows were
thrown open and the hornets driven

"Bangs" writes to the Boston Globe.
Last Saturday, a frcckled boy, with
the sweat-lining of his cap dangling
over his ears, bean-blowcr under
his arm, and his uncombed hair
streaming in the air, dashed down
Pearl street with dizzy velocity. Di-
rectly after the flying boy, an old
man, with one eye closed, his back
bumped like Nazareth camel, and
flourishing leather strap, came tear
ing after his victim with the anima-
tion of chain Lightning. As tho lad
swung around into Franklin street,
he collided with a pile of empty milk
cans and rolled over into the gutter.
With stern yindictivencss cleaning
from his eye, the old cobbler sailed
up alongside the boy, and needless OF
his wild plcadings and assertions of
"aTwant me, mister" he strapped
him around through the dirt till he
looked as if a herd Of marsh goats
had butted him through every square
inch of mud in the Back Bay. The
bad boy went home and told his poo,
old mother that freight train ON ths
Grand Junction had run over him
When he blows any more beans, he
probably won't take the old ccbbler'a
face for q target again.

SUBMARINE VOLCANO.
Remarksb!e Phenomenon Near II

Sandwich islands.
SAN Francisco, March 9.-The
Honolulu Gazette of February 2Sth
contains an account of a remarkable
submarine volcano outburst in Kala-
kakaua Bay, near the entrance to the
harbor. The natives report that the
eruption occurred at 3 O'clock on the
morning Of the oath, appearing like
innumerable red, blue and green
lighta. In the afternoon several boats
visited the eruption, cruising over
the most active part, where the water
was in q peculiar state of activity,
boiling, and appearing as If passing
over rapids, or very much like the
water at He'll Gate, New York.
Blocks Of lava two feet square came
up from below, frequently striking
and jarring the boats. AS the lava
was quite soft no harm was done.
Nearly all the pieces on reaching the
surface were red hot, emitting steam
and gas strongly sulphurOus. A
rumbling noise was heard like that OF
rocks in freshet, caused no doubt
by the eruption of lava from the SUBJ
marine crater, which Is supposed to
be q crack or line Of rupture extend
ing at least mile from shore.
Another rupture, doubtless con-
tinuati0n of the submarine fissure,
was traced inland from the shore
nearly three miles, varying in width
from few inches to three feet. In
some places the water was seen pour
ing into the abyss below.

HORRIBLE HYDRopHoH1A.
Death Of q New York Merchant
after being Bit by Q Small
Dog.
Nav York Sun.

About six weeks ago the maid SER
want in the employ of the family OF
Nathaniel III. Loomis, at 169 Madison
street, Brooklyn, found q little dog
huddled against the window sill. II
snapped at her. She called Mr..
Loomis and the dog bit him through
the hand. The dog showed signs Of
hydrophObia. Mr.. Loomis' wound
was cauterized. He is of E. p. & N.
III. Loomis, produce merchants of this
city. On Tuesday last, after he had
sent his trunks to Bermuda steam
er, on which he expected to sail on
Wednesday, he began to feel iii. On
Wednesday morning, he was fever.
|ish and felt such paines in his head
that he concluded not to 60. He sent
for DIR. Elmdorf, who found him suf-
fering of q swollen throat, and una
Bile to swallow. He told the physi-
clan that he had been bitten by mad
dog and that he thought that he was
seized with hydrophobia. The ply
sician tried to allay his excitement by
saying that his illness might be from
another cause, and the hope he gave
his patient seemed to have good Of
feet. II had heard" said the doctor
last night to reporter, "of the dam
ger of exciting q patients fears In
such condition, and reassured him
all that could and was pleased st
the result" He administered CAM
phor pills, belladonna and morphine.
The result was to quiet the patient in
the afternoon so that he could eat
cracked ice, icc cream and molasses
candy. On Thursday he had every
symptom of hydrophobia except con-
vulsions. He began to utter q bark
ing sound. He foamed at the mouth,
his eyes assumed a CLASSY appearance
and his face burned with fever. He
kept his bed without being held there
his only violent act being an OCCASION
al tremor of the body, in which he
partly raised himself from the pillow.
He fingered in agony until half-past
3 o'clock yesterday morning and then
died. He was conscious almost to the
last, and died easily. The dog was
mongrel.
