A REVERE.

for the TINES by CHARLES ". PgTRRso n
Time away was softly letting
With long and measured tread,
And my heart Was slowly beating,
For had heard that you were dead.
had heard that death had whitened
Your SO fair aud shapely brow,
And your checks ne longer frightened
And l had naught to live for now.
For yen have gone, yes, passed before
And left me all alone
My heart was ftozsa to the core,
And as heavy as if tw ere made of s.ons.
Well do the days remember
When We roamed so blithe and free.
And free from care and eumbers
By the home that shelter ed you and me.
But these bright and happy days
Have yanisEed Ike the rain,
AID in the grave you're lowiy laid
But we may meet again.

Curious Scene in a Church.

The Rochester Union of Wednesday
prints the following: "One day last
week young man living in Genesco
eloped with the daughter OF a wealthy
and respected citizen, the parties for
some time previous having manifested
decided affection for each other. The
young couple went to Mt. Morris, where
they took upon themselves the solemn
obligations of marriage, but their pres
ent whereabouts is, We believe, unknown
The young lady's father was in Albany
at the time on business, and somebody
wrote him that he had better come home
and look after his daughter. He return
ed Immediately. On Sunday last he
attended church, and here occurred the
scene to which we have referred. The
congregation had just concluded the
singing Of the first hymn when he arose
in his pew, took out his watch, and ad
dressing the clergyman, exclaimed
There is devil in this church, and ]
give her just FIVE minutes to leave" Al
the same time he drew a revolver and
pointed it at lady seated in a pew in
front of him. The lady was the mother
of the young man who had eloped with
and married the others daughter. The
woman, acting under an impulse of dis
creiion. left the church, and things set
tied down again to a quiet state of af

Peace not yet Assured-The Alter
native to be Presented In the
Forthcoming Russian Note.

vienna, Jan. 29.-The Montags Re-
vue (semi-official says it has reason to
believe that the expected Russian cir
cular will open an entirely new phase Of
the Eastern question. The note will re-
duce the present situation to one of the
following alternatives: Will the powers
attribute a mere platonic character to
the views they expressed at the Confer
ence, or will they bring more rigorous
pressure upon the Porte? The former
would probably result in procrastina-
tion, the latter in further independent
action by Russia. In any case the Porte
must hasten its movements if it intends,
by carrying out its Constitution and by
the conclusion of peace with Seryia and
Montenegro, to deprive Russia of all
grounds for intervention. The Montags
Revue concludes its article as follows:-
although danger Of War is not i'm :
mediately threatening, it can only be
banished from the political horizon by
great exertions."

Death of the White Whale in New
York.
New York Tribune, January %.

New York Tribune, January 29.l
The white whale that whilom dispor-
ted itself in the central tank at the
Aquarium has gone the way of all flesh
and fish. Shortly after o'clock on Sat-
urday evening last, while the air was
filled with the strains of Strauss, and the
ia nix was surrounded by crowd intent
on studying cetacnous habits, the atten-
dants noticed the large number of people
and also that the whale was behaving in
an extraordinary manner-instead of
swimming in circles as was his wont, he
would cross from side to eide, and ever
and anon lash the water into foam.-
These actions were continued for some
time, gradually becoming less and less
violent, until he disappeared beneath
the surface. AS he didn' come up for
his usual breathing space, it soon be-
came evident from the placid surface Of
the water that the "oniy white whale in
captivity in the world' was no more.
When the fact became known to the au-
dience. many and frequent were the ex-
pressions OF coincidence. The whale lay
in state yesterday morning, and several
physicians were in attendance, among
others Doctors Ehell, Arnold, and Ray.
A consultation was held as to the proba-
Bile cause Of death, but no satisfactory
conclusion was reached. The real cause
of death will not be ascerained until
the autopsy is held, which it is proposed
to hold as soon as possible. Mr.. Coup
will, i'll the meantime, have the remains
emhalmed and placed on exhibition for
a few days. The white whale was cap
tured on the coast of Labrador, about SIX
months ngo, by special expedition dis
patched for that purpose by the Aqua
rinu, and commanded by Mr.. Zaehariah
Comp. an Oil and experienced whaler
The method adopted was novel A
strong tank vas sunk at the mouth Of
one of the bays. and when the tide was
fnll large net was stretched across the
outlet. A The water began to shoal in
the bay, the whales..made for the open
sea, but We're prevented from reaching
it by the net, and naturally sought the
deep water of the sunken tank, where.
upon the lid was closed md one whale
was secured. 1t was hoistcd on board
the ship by means of a derrick and con-
veyed to shore. Placed in "a large box
built for the purpose, .and with a con-
slant stream OF water kept playing upon
him. the whale was brought by special
train to this city.

The Fusion of Races.
From the Truckee Republican.

A few days ago a couple visited
Truckee on their wedding tour. They
were married in Virginia City. The
husband was large, goodlooking white
man; the wife delicate. fragile-looking
japanese woman. The advent of this
strangely-assorted couple produced con
siderable comment. The man, being in
terviewed, stated that he was legally
married, and that it was love match.
The couple seemed to be very fond Of
each other. and did not seem in the least
to mind the curious stare of the crowd
that watched their movements as they
passed along Front Street. She had
discarded the peculiar costume of her
nation. and was arrayed after the man.
ner of white woman. After remaining
a few days in Truckee, the happy couple
departed for their home in Virginia

Alive in an Alright Coffin.

From the Omaha Hearld.
The body of a man who went to Cali
fornia to regain his health, was recently
shipped in a metallic coffin for his for
mer home in the East. When the Cen
tral Pacific train arrived at Ogden june
tion the corpse was consigned to the Un-
ion Pacific Express Company and placed
under charge of Express Messenger
Frank Burgess. While the train was
in the western part of Nebraska, Mr..
Burgess heard sounds from the coffin that
led him to believe that the dead man
had come to life. 1t was in the night,
and he heard the sounds as he lay doing
and half asleep. Again the noise was
heard, and the attention of the messen-
ger was riveted to the coff1, and the hor-
rible possibility that the dead might be
alive thrust itself upon the messenger SO
forcibly that he called the attention of
other employees to it, but after listening
moment, they merely laughed at him.
The convictions Of the express messen-
ger, however, were so strong that he had
heard means from the coffin, that he had
the case opened when the train made its
next halt. The weather was very cold
and upon the inside of the glass plate OF
the coffin there had accumulated thin
film of frost, such as might have been
deposited by the breath of person con-
fined in such narrow quarters. The face
was also drawn up against the glass plate
and other disturbances indicated life
While Burgess had no doubt that the
man, though dead then, had been alive
in the coffin, the other employees ex.
planned the accumulation of frost on the
glass as the natural exhalations of the
dead body, and the disturbances of the
corpse as due to the movements in the
shipping.
A private despatch, received from
Chicago last night, says that when the
coffin arrived at its destination and wa
opened, unmistakable proofs of the ter
rible truth were discovered. The hand
were clinched, the lips bitten, and III,
mouth filed with bloody froth. Th'
man had been alive, and it was hi
moaning that had been heard but no
recognized.

While the Californians are forming

der Chinese immigration, there are those
In the South who, desirous Of testing the
advantages Of cheap Chinese labor, are
ardsnily hoping that the Mongolians
may turn their steps thitherward. To
be sure, the experience of Louisiana plan
ters with Chinames in the cotton and
cane fields has not been very satisfacto-
ny, and one Of their notable traits is the
rapidity with which they arrive at an
appreciation OF the current value Of la.

The Servians who entered so briskly
upon the War against Turkey last year
are now anxious to make peace on their
own account, before the close of the
armistice gives Turkey the opportunity
to resume the assault. They are carry
ing on negotiations with their adversary
regardless of the desires of Russia, and
their conduct shows that they are ready
to accept almost any terms rather than
run the risk of further hostilities on
Servian soil. They expected all last
year that Russia would come to their
aid; but they got only some parties of
Russian volunteers, who did not secure
success for their cause. Recrim nations
soon sprang up between the Servians
and the Russians The Russians charg-
ed the Servians with cowardice, and the
Servians accused the Russians of using
them to secure the Cars aggrandize-
ment. In the mean time the Turks were
oyerrunning Seryia, and were just about
to seize Belgrade, and thus complete
the subjugation Of the country, when
Russia demanded an armistice. The
Constantinople Conference, which has
just failed, next followed. Under the
circumstances, the only safe policy OF
the Servians is to sue for peace.

SWORN STATEMENT
OF A
BOSTON DRUGGIST.

Gentle,nen,-I hereby certify that
have had Catarrh for ten years, and for
the last six years have been a terrible
sufferer. was rendered partially deaf,
had buzzing in the head, pains across
the temple, dizzy spells, weak and pain
full eyes, swollen and liberated tonsils,
hard and constant cough, severe pain
across the chest, and every indication of
consumption. My head ached all the
time. The matter accumulated so rapi.
dly in my head and throat that could
not keep them free. Frequently at night
| would spring out of bed, it seemed to
me, at the point of suffocation. l would
then have recourse to every means in
my power to dislodge the mucus from
my throat and head before being able 10
sleep again. For period of six years
my tonsils We're liberated and SO much
intiamed shat / could with difficulty
swallow. l finally consulted an eminent
surgeon in regard to an operation on
them, but at his request postponed it.
The constant Inflammation and ulcera-
ton in my throat, caused by the poison
GUS matter dropping down from my
head, had 80 irritated and infamed my
lungs that l coughed incessantly,-a
deep, hard cough. Meanwhile my sys-
tenn began to show the effects of the dis
ease, so that lost flesh, grew pale, and
showed every symptom of an early
death by consumption. When matters
had reached this stage, or about six
months ago, began the use of SAN
FORD'S RADICAL CURE FOR CA
TARRH. After using the first bottle /
began to improve rapidly. The first
dose seemed to clear my head as I had
not known it to be for years. 1t seemed
gradually to arrest the discharges 1t
stopped my cough In three days By using
it as a garRle ! soon reduced the in
fammation and swelling of my toEsils,
so that they soon ceased to trouble me.
The soreness across my chest disappear
ed, the buzzing noises in my head ceas
ed, my senses of hearing and of seeing
were completely restored, and every
symptom of disease that had reduced me
to the verge of the grave disappeared by
the use of SANFORD'S RADICAL
CURE FOR CATARRH.
] have been thus explicit because, as
q druggist, have seen a great deal of
suffering from Catarrh, and hope to
convince many that this is a great reme-
dy.
| I am familiar with the treatment of
Catarrh as practised by the best physi-
clans, and have consulted the most en-
inent about my case. / have used every
kind ofremedy and apparatus that have
appeared during a period of six years
past, and have, while following their
use, taken great care of my general
health, but obtained no relief or en-
couragement from any of them.
Since curing myself with SAN
| FORD'S RADICAL CURE, 1 have
recommended it in over one hundred
cases without a single case of failure,
and have in numerous instances receiv-
ed wholesale orders from parties to
whom have sold one bottle. This is
the only patent medicine ] have ever
recommended, never having believed in
them before, although constantly engag.
ed in their sale

Attention has been called in the daily
papers to practice prevalent in some
parts of the country, which illustrates
the power possessed by new milk of ab-
sorbing atmospheric impurities. 1t is
that of placing a saucer of new milk in
a larder, in order to preserve meat or
game from taint. 1t is said that not
only does it answer this purpose, but the
milk, after few hours, becomes so bad
that no animal will touch it.
