Widows who Burned.

Jung BahadOor, the prime minister Of
Nepaul, went to bathe NJ Bagonuttee:
he entered the river before sunrise for
that purpose in the highest spirits. and
after performing his ablutions he sat on
the bank to say his prayers. Soon after
he was noticed 20 be motionless. On his
followers approaching him they found
that life was extinct. An express was
sent to the capital, and orders arrived
TO postpone the funeral rites to the first
Of March. The three principal RANGES
lwidowsJ. his brother and son arrived
and the RANGES expressed their desire 10
sacrifice themselves. The brother tried
TO diHsuade them, but he failed. and the
funeral pyre was prepared with sandal
wood, resin and large quantity Of ghec
When the arrangements had been made
the ladies bathed, performed poojah ian

was they took measures for the govern
ment Of the country and % maintain
peace; then general directions were
given 10 the brother-in-law. Their last
act was to release some prisoners. They
then entered the funeral pyre quite un-
concenedly, muttering prayers. The
corpse was then laid on its back, and the
eldest rance took It's head in her lap and
the two others took the feet. They were
then surrounded by odorous combusti-
bles, and the ranees gazed upon the fea-
lures Of their husband as if forgctful Of
every other consideration. Tho fire was
then applied by his son, and all was
over IN q few minutes.

A RIighted Life.

daughter, who resides On North Eleventh

"Oh, mother, take me home Ny

throwing herself into her mothers
arms
After her tears had somewhat subsided
the mother said
Hardly a year married, and here I
find you in tears. What does this mean ?
Has Henry been unkind to YOU ?"
"No," sobbed the daughter, "but he
doesn't love me any longer, and my
heart is breaking"
"Come, come, child. cheer up. Tell
me why you think him untrue 10 YOU

An Unfortunate Speculator.

John f. Tracy was one Of the railroad
pioneers Of the West. The Rock Island
road was constructed under his super
vision, and he has been the chief man
ager Of its interests up to the failure OF
his health. His large wealth was mainly
acquired, however, IN stock speCulatiuns,
and he was known throughout the cuun-
try rs one Of the boldest, shrewdest and
most successful operators, ranking with
Vanderbilt. Drew and Gould in the mag
nliicence OF his financial schemes. He
has IN his time run many a successful
corner in stocks and has mercilessly
squeezed" those who were opposed "a
him. If the failure Of his last pool had
occurred while he was in full possession
of his health and faculties, he would have
been entitled 81 no particular sympathy.
for he would only have been beaten at
his own game, played by him for years
desperately and without scruple. But,
in view Of the fact.that he went into this
operation with impaired faculties, and

Mhnt 4 Henrt, Annctite Did.

Not so very long ago there arrived al
San Antonio, Tex, a gentleman irum q
large town on the railroad between tLer,

the hotels, aud displayed trrmcniuu,
appetite. At the end OF the week ho tx
pected tp be presented with his bin, but
no bin Was presented, although he hnd
no luggage %, all. Time went on auJ
still no bill The landlord treated HIM
with lofty courtesy, as did the waters.
One night, however, he did not return {,
the hotel. and next morning the landlord
hired detective, who hunted and found
him. The stranger Thought the land
lord was going 10 have him put IN jan
for swindlmg, or something else, and ht
felt very much alarmed about IT, Bat
no. The landlord was as pleasant "a,
ever. He asked the stranger what ht
had done that ne should desert his hute
that way, inquired whether the waiter,
had offended him. aud finally begged
him 10 return 10 his hotel once more

from the stranger the promise 20 return

After few days, the stranger took the
landlord aside, thanked him with tear,
in his ewes. and asked him why he wa.
so anxious for him to eat at that hote
free Of charge.

we'll known in Georgia, Alabama and
Louisiana JAS an extensive planter, deep
drlnker and good liver. Having a pas

slave girl Perry BysShe Shelley Pinch.

Pinch led under the care Of his father
and owner may be gathered from the fol-
lowing incident: One day he was with
Major Holmes On a Mississippi steam
boat: the sun Was hot, and in the shade
of an awning the planter with his friends
played poker for high stakes, and 10
quiet his nerves drank deep draughts Of
iced whisky punch. The slave boy sat

exact truth. His unnatural father hay-

In addition 10 Being the best colorei

coolest and bravest col0red fighter in
Louisiana. The following story Will

Short Snlts.

Some of the leaders of fashion here.
says Harpers' Bazar, are again rebelling
against long skirts for walking suits, and
have already adopted neat and pretty
suits Of habit cloth or Of waterproof,
made with a single skirt short enough to
escape the ground, and tasteful Breton
jacket simply trimmed with one wide
row Of galloon, or else many rows OF
braid. These ladies DO not claim to be
dress reformers; ON the contrary, they are
gay young women of fashion, many OF
whom have enjoyed in Paris the short
skirts that Parisiennes have never aban
doned; but they protest against the dis
comfort of long and clumsy skirts for
walking suits. Now that crinoline is
abolished, this abridged skirt will be
graceful as well as convenient; it is now
worn for morning walks in the city, and
many are being made for the country, for
the seaside, mountains and coachings, etc.
Albatross cloth is a new smooth-faced
fabric similar to mohair, which is said to
be made from the down of the albatross.
1t is also known as drap de Virginie. 1t
comes in solid colors, in small pin checks,
and IN narrow stripes of blue, brown OF
black with white. The plain, striped.
and checked cloths are all nsed in O
single costume.
