A Tragedy After an EIopement.

Something of sensation has been pro
dueed in Baltimore, by Il rumor that the
mutaed corpse of the girl recently murdered
at Jefferson, Texas, had been identified as
that of Mrs. Kirby Of Baltimore, who eloped
with her brother-in-law, John Ferguson, a
few weeks ago. The face was horribly dis
figured to prevent recognition, the eyes
gouged from their sockets, the flesh torn away
from the mouth, exposing set of glttering
teeth. Mrs. Kirby's sister, Mrs. Ferguson,
Mr.. Kirby, husband of the runaway, aud also
her father carefully examined the picture frnd
accompanying description. Her father thought
1t answered her description, particularly the
teeth. Mr.. Kirby said the description cor
responded with that of his wife as to ply sique,
dress, hair, &C, and notably the scar on her
left breast. III OF them unite ia the opinion
that the description Of the murderer CORES
ponds precisely with that of Ferguson as to
features, clothing, aud general appearance
Mrs Kirby was a bride of only few months
when she eloped with her sisters husband.

night ago young lady, who was engaged to
be married and apparently happy, committed
suicide in Marion, Iowa. A few mornings
after the funeral, her lover called a young
lady cousin into his room, and remarking
hastily that he was going to his sweetheart,
shot himself in the heart. A brother of the
dead girl went to the house TO see her lovers
remains and catching sight of the pistol,
seized 1t and did his best to shoot himself, boi

THE OREGON CASE.

It's not improbable that when the vote OF
this State is called in the joint conveblion an
objection will be made, and it will also be re-
ferred to the electoral tribunal, as there are
two sets Of returns which will afford a basis Of
an objection to counting the Hayes vote, but
it will evidently meet the fate OF its unfortu-

The EFeDh0nt PickpOcEet.

She wore one of those pockets behind,
in which, besides her handkerchief she
had deposited an apple, a handful of pea
nuts, a quarter pound of gumdrops, a
little bottle of ammonia, and soma other
trifes. She and her swain, after admir-
ing the complexion of the huge beast,
turned their backs upon him to watch
the monkeys and the live kangaroo, and
gaze into erch others eyes; to do this
better they leaned back against the rope
which enclosed the stately monarch of
the south, who saw the apple portruding
from the pocket Of the unconscious fair
one. He hesitated a moment and was
lost to all sense of honor and self-respect,
for with shuflingmovements he emulated
the example of our common mother,
plucked and ate the fruit, scOoped out
the gumdrops and peanuts with a sly
wink at his nephew, who was looking
with anxiety at the proceedings. But
in the last mouthful the majestic beast
took in the ammonia bottle by mistake,
the cork came out, and about an ounce
of hartshorn ran down the throat of the
beast. This beverage is said to have a re-
viving and stimulating influence, and in
this case it proved its power, for a more
revived elephant was never seen n hearth.
The big elephant has learned a lesson in
morals which will probably induce him
to let other peoples pocketsaIoue though
nobody dares to carry a bottle within
range Of his proboscis.- Kansas City

Indifference. TAe boy fretted under his

had passed the cigars some thirty times,
and without success, when he said, in a

AN idea is gaining ground with aero,
nauts that the solution of the polar prob.
lem now rests with them. Capt. Cheyne,
a retired British naval officer, has vol.
unteered to conduct a balloon party over
the four hundred miles or thereaboutq

the project finds q warm supporter in
Mr.. Coxwell, who deems such an ex-
petition quite feasible. sTshe only trou-

the supply of gas in the higher ATTITUDES.
This, however, he thinks may be gotten
ove by the use of fire-baloons. He
recommends the use of every large
Montgolfers," in which it would be pos
sible to stow away q couple of sledges
with dogs, and "boats ft for contention
with a Polar sea as a forlorn hope"
Foaundred miles at the average rate
of atmospheric speed would not in his
opinion, occupy twenty-four hours. Mr..
Coxwell's plan is well calculated to
startle the uninitiated in aerostaties.
