A MUCHLY MARRLED MN

Joseph Filligraff, the .bigamist, has, at
Peoria, Illinois, been committed in de.
fault of 81 600 bail. 1t is impossible to
ascertain the exact number of his wives f,
but it is known positively that he has
had five, three of whom appeared against
him on the trial. Since October Goth
last he has married at least four women,
each of them living in different places
one in Mendoza, one at Galena, one at
Hannepin, and one at Peoria. His OBJ
ject is a mystery. He is phrenologist,
and has been travelling from town to town.
He would visit a place, fall in love with
woman, marry her, live with her few
weeks, and then go to some other place
and 60 through the same programme. AS
he is a man forty years old it is fair to
presume that he has been married at least
twenty Chicago Times

OATMEAL porridge is especially suitable
for children. 1t nourishes their bones
and other tissues, and supplies them in a
greater degree than most foods with the
much needed element of phosphorus. II
they grow weary of it, they can be tempt
ed back with the bait of golden syrup
jam, or marmalade, to be eaten with the
porridge. The Irish and Scotch make
their porridge with water, and add cold
milk, but the most agreeable and nutri-
tive way is to make it entirely with milk
to use coarse oatmeal, and to see that it
is not too thick. The following is good
receipt: Bring quart Of milk to boil
ing point in an enamel-lined sauce pan,
and drop in by degrees eight ounces Of
coarse oatmeal; stir till it thickens, and
then boil half an hour. The mixture
should not be too thick, and milk can be
added according to taste.

The Observation-Disclosures that those

Just little but the little kept increasing

BISMARCK SWEENEY'S LOOT.

The Tribune says that Jas. M. Sweeney
brother of Peter B. Sweeney, in WHOSE
name were made gall the deposits of
Woodward and Watson & Garvey,
amounting to over five hundred thousand
dollars, for the benefit Of the Sweeney
branch of the ring, went abroad in 1871.
Peter B. Sweeney soon after judiciously
followed. He carried with him an i'm
mense amount of treasure-tbe exact
amount is not yet known. He was re-
quired by the regulations Of the company
in whose steamship he sailed, to place
his treasure in the hands of the purser,
and after much hesitation and reluctance
he did so. The purser would not give
the ordinary receipt for so much money,
and insisted that it should be counted.
Although largely in gold notes and gold
pieces, it required five hours to count the
sum. At Liverpool an equal time was
occupied. The books of the steamer
show the amount, but the prosecution do
not at present propose to make it public.
Mr.. Sweeney has lived frugally abroad,
and is able to settle as he told Oakley
Hall, "Without any assistance from

How TO EsTIMATE.-If you want to es-
innate any ones mental calibre, you can
not do it better than by observing the ra-
tio of generalities to personalities in his
talk; how far simple truths about indi-
viduals are replaced by truths abstracted
from numerous experiences of men and
things.--[ Herbert Spencer.

THE OTHER WORLD.
BY MRS. H. B. STOWE.

BY MRS. II. B. STOWE.
1t lies around us like a cloud,
Aworld we do notsee,
Yet the sweet closing of an eye
May bring us there to see.
It's gentle breezes fan our cheek,
Amid our worldly cares;
Its gentle voices whisper love,
And mingle with our prayers,
Sweet hearts around us thrOb and beat,
Sweet helping hands are stirred,
And palpitates the veil between
With. breathings almost heard.
The silence, awful, sweet and calm
They have no power to break
For mortal words are not, for them
To utter or partake.
So thin, 80 soft, so sweet they glide,
So near the press they seem,
They lull us gently to our rest,
They melt us into dream.
And in the hush of rest they bring
'Tis easy now to see
How lovely and how sweet pass
The hour of death may be.
To close the-eye and close.the ear,
Wrapped in trance of bliss,
And, gently drawn in loving arms,
To swoon to that from this
Scarce knowing if we wake or sleep,
Scarce asking where we are,
TO feel all evil sink away,
All sorrow and all care,
Sweet souls around to watch us still
Press nearer TO our side;
Into our thoughts, into our prayers.
With gentle helpings glide.
Let death between us be as naught,
A dried and vanished stream;
Your joy be the reality,
Our suffering life the dream.

1t singeth low in every heart,
We hear 1t each and all
A song of those who answer not
However we may call;
They throng the silence of the brealt,
We see them as Of yore,-
The kind, the true, the brave, the sweet,
Who walk with us no more.
'Tis hard to take the burden up,
When these have laid 1t down;
They frightened all the joy Of life,
They softened every frown;
But, Oh 'tls good to think Of them
When we are tempted sore
Thanks be TO God that such have been,
Although they are no more.

.what every body say must be true" 7"


 The incontrovertible testimony offered by those who have used Dr. Pierce's Fay. orite Prescription induced the doctor to sell 1t under positive guarantee. Many ladies have refrained from using 1t on ac- count of general feeling of prejudice against advertised medicines, Let me ask aquestion. Are you preyudiced against advertised? or can you doubt the ingenuity and skill required in their invention Again. would you refuse to insure your house beome the company advertised that it had paid millions in losses, and yet had a capital of several millions !? Do such advertisements shake your confidence and create preiudices? Then why refuse to credit the testimony of those who have found the Favorite Prescription to be all that is claimed for 1t in overcoming those ailments peculiar to you sex? Why sub. init to the use of harsh. and perhaps caus tic treatment, thus aggravating your ma lady when relief is guaranteed, and posi- tive. perfect. and permanent cure has beer effect in thousands of cases?
